The number of core authors of high-yield basketball tactics in China is small, and the number of authors published is relatively low. From the perspective of the distribution of research institutions, the authors and institutions are affected by the differences and majors of colleges and universities, and on the whole, colleges and universities with sports majors pay more attention to the field of basketball tactics research. From the perspective of the institutions that issued the papers, the degree of cooperation between institutions is low, the communication is not close enough, and only a few research institutions have cooperative relations, and it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation between institutions. Domestic research hotspots focus on basketball tactical theory research, applied research and teaching.
