Description
Summary:Every basketball game has a lot of game records, also called match data. All the data are not only statistical but also logical and spatial. People normally use these kind of data to obtain statistical or summarized information of the games, but few have used these data to analyze the teams' tactics. In this paper, we present an approach to analyze the match data for detecting basketball teams' tactic using link prediction method. The main idea is to create a measure for the team offense tactics based on the Basketball Analysis Graph (BA graph) and use link prediction to extract the information about the cooperation between teammates and offense priority. The information may be used for basketball game strategy assistance.
