Abstract
This study was primarily aimed at detecting dribbling techniques, used in the European Championship in Poland, their frequency and efficiency. Secondary goal of the research was to explain the game of basketball in offense in a more exact way according to the analyzed technical and tactical dribbling activities. In the sample of eight games four variables were observed: time of using dribble, different starts of dribble, dribble course and dribble finish. Observation protocol was applied on each game and on each player separately. According to the acquired data it can be concluded that eight games at the 2009 European Championship in Poland were dominated by the dribbling technique which was characterized by crossover step, in which cross over dribble was most used and most frequent finish was in passing after stop. When it comes to the time of using dribble, it is evident that all the observed teams had almost the same time of using dribble, but that also the time of using dribble partly affected final placement, because the teams which used it the least played in the finals , Spain 31.28 minutes and Serbia 32.28 minutes. The team that used dribbling the least became the champion, and that was the team of Spain.
Highlights
Within the group of sports games, basketball stands out as an outstandingly complex game with very specific structural and functional characteristics (Trninic, 1996)
Sample of research consisted of four national teams, final participants of the European Championship in basketball held in Poland in 2009 (Spain, Serbia, Greece and Slovenia), that is, of their players who participated in this competition
We may conclude that all four teams used almost the same time of dribble, and that the time of using dribble had some effect on the final placement because in the finals featured the teams, which used it in the least period: Spain 31.28 min. and Serbia 32.28 min
