摘要：Research was carried out to determine the structure of finishing actions and their effectiveness. Thedifference in the types of finishing actions executed by the winning and the defeated teams was studiedalong with the variables that contribute most to this difference. Data were gathered at the 2013 EuropeanChampionship in Slovenia. Descriptive parameters were calculated and the difference between the winningand defeated teams in the types of finishing actions was determined by the independent samples t-test andthe Mann-Whitney U test. Results show that the following finishing actions dominate within offensive gamestructure: 1:1 facing the basket, spot up, pick and roll, cutting and free throws. The obtained results showthat there are no statistically significant differences between the types of finishing actions played by thewinning and the defeated teams, but successful execution of finishing actions expressed through theefficiency coefficient proved to be the key to success. The winning team frequently used off-ball screens,handoffs, pick and roll, put back, cutting and spot up for shot or penetration. Centre position and isolationcontributed to a somewhat lesser degree.
