1-3-1 is a pretty risky tactic, because the opponent get pretty close the same amount of off rebounds then your def rebounds.

And even a bad rebounding team get the most failed shot of the opponent, 1-3-1 is more for a good rebounding team which plays against a strong shooting team.

And point a don't get yet, why they say so often that slow pace is good for bad rebounding teams because even a good rebounding teams got benefits from scoring with first oppurtunity - but i think this chanche is higher with fast strategys because slow pace means a lot of bad shot at the end of the time.

Relying less on rebounding is obviously good for teams that are bad in rebounding. How you achieve this, and at the same time minimize any negative effects you need to sustain to level the field, depends on the qualities of your team and your opponents. Slower pace is one possibility, especially so if your team shoots poorly. If you steadily outshoot your opponent, losing rebounds may not be a biggie.

to outshot a team wouldn't be bad for a good rebounding team, then you must pretty strong to get a lot of 2cd chanche with an offreb ;)

And i don't see, that i hit more shots with a slower pace

I sometimes think my own game depends way too much on exactly this. :-)

I have not studied the effect of pace on the quality of your own shots, but you certainly give the ball away less often when you don't shoot as much. Thus you are better able to limit the number of shots the other team takes.

yeah but that is fine is your team is worse then your opponent, but that don't mean that you are a bad rebounding team.

And the must slow pace games i see, has many of last seconds shot which gave bad shot percentages.

Of course not.

The goal is to overcome bad rebounding, when it affects your team's chances. This typically happens either when your team is otherwise weaker or the two teams are very close. If you're weaker, you may want to limit the number of shots anyway; if you're pretty much equal, you need to consider the relative strengths of the teams and one outcome is to try and create better looks for your team and limit the number of shots your opponent takes. There are other alternatives and other situations, but I think this is one that many teams face.

If you have no problems when you lose rebounding, then by all means concentrate on your own game and just forget about it.

yeeah but with slow pace you overcome then 2, because it is about proportion and not about the absolute numbers, if you take less shots and you get 20% second chanches it is as good like the same with more shot in my eyes.
