Hi I am quite new to the game so excuse my ignorance.

I generally play inside focus/low post attack as my best players are in the PF and C positions. In today's game I also played with a low post tactic against a better team than me but had 3 times more 3 point shots than any of my other games (around 25). My question is why my players took so many 3p shots? Has the oppositions stats anything to do with it? Their tactics?
They played Motion offense and 3-2 zone defense.

Thx

Because they couldn't get better inside shots. Even though you give your team a certain focus, they still take the best shots they can find.

Thats right and also if you can not find a good shot in time, your guards are pretty much going to launch the shot from 3pt range before the shot clock expires.

in my experience those three point shot with inside focus, are mostly at the end of the clock before your team makes a shot clock violation - if the opponent didn't had a totally week outside defence.

Also in close games your team could throw in the last minute 5-6 3 pointers, to catchup to the opponent but mostly the point differential get worse with this tactics.

Thx for the replies. No they weren't last minute, but started from the word go.

My opponent had very good outside defense, so i guess that as you said it is due to lack of better shots, well with me not having good enough passing.
