Intel Big Data brings you a different tournament experience

The NBA has implemented a revolutionary, unprecedented sports technology upgrade. The NBA has a sports tracking system installed in 30 teams ' venues. The Alliance-wide project has installed a licensed system for teams, the proprietary SPORTVU Ice team analysis and tracking system, which is installed in the player's channel at each venue.

This unprecedented combination of sports and technology will allow NBA teams to stand on a more fair game in the 2013 season. Data from new technologies will be available in NBA.com, NBATV and NBA Game time applications, and new technologies will be unveiled with the opening of the season.

Changes to the rules of the game for enthusiastic fans

Coaches and statisticians can see various levels of information in real time on networked laptops or tablets to make adjustments to the game based on real-time data. ICE "Big Data" can reveal previous data insights, improve team performance and fans ' viewing experience by using historical information, databases, and complex algorithms that extract the location data of all objects on the pitch.

Speaking with Stats senior Vice President Brian Kopp on the project, he said: "The cameras we install can capture 1 million of data records with excellent algorithms, so we need more powerful and faster processors." The HP workstation we use must have strong performance, so we chose the Intel processor. "Koop also said:" SportVU camera can take 25 pictures per second. Each picture has a timestamp and can be automatically processed by the computer, which connects the data to the game streaming media source and provides a report within 90 seconds. ”

A hot view of the basketball court

The video stream has a time tag that can be synchronized directly with the game timer. They did not use an attack timer because connecting with an attack timer that had to be reset after 24 seconds would cause the system to log inaccurate data.

Parker has been dribbling 839 times in a game, the data ranked SportVU last season's tally of all the games. The team can calculate whether his dribble can break through the line, and he likes to take a shot, two or three. I might also want to know how many times he would dribble on average when he was in an ambush in the lower right corner.

The NBA says: "You can see the position of each player or team, the location of the shooting point, and the hit rate in different areas of the pitch through the standard shooting sketch." "SportVU shooting sketch can show more content.

SportVU uses a combination of video and customized reports to recreate the data and conduct in-depth team detail analysis. The system can produce and compute player metrics information and 3D models to help teams better understand the importance of statistical data and the game process. The calculation of the cover, the player and the holding time data will fundamentally change the basketball game, including college, high school and youth basketball games.

Intel Server brings a new fan experience

ICE also uses Intel server chips to measure the player's ball-free movement and the spacing between players. The system can now calculate speed, distance parameters and energy efficiency, while calculating strength, power and endurance, and querying for player spacing, shooting trails and shooting areas. These statistics will be part of a system in which NBA teams win and compete for trophies.

The coach can take advantage of the tactical advantage of the 3 players who scored higher on both sides of the foul line in the first half. Using ice to summarize good trends and bad trends can help coaches and trainers design better games and help players finish the game in a good way.

Big data = great fun for fans

Koop said: "The focus on analysis of this trend in the NBA recruitment has been revealed." "The popularity of data analysis has allowed the NBA to start hiring more and more data analysts. Data analysis supervisors have now become as important as shooting coaches or nutritionists.

Using large data statistics in a complex game environment can also improve the fan experience. The Cleveland Cavaliers last season used the main scoreboard video to display the ice information on the pitch and gained a lot of praise. Sponsors ' ads in the arena (ROI), video boards and high-definition displays in the entire building can be used by hustle stats. The big screen on the NBA Twitter night activity can be produced using large data labels. These new activities and revenue generation opportunities come from innovative ice sports technology.

Real-time analysis of large data, presentation of data, and evaluation of teams or coaches are part of the new NBA Alliance. NBA.com and NBATV will launch more basic data presentations in the future, such as presenting new data on a weekly basis. Ice-made charts can be integrated into the broadcast and internet for use by mobile devices. Third-party vendors have started to develop ice add-ons that will require a more powerful computing power for HP workstations on the pitch.

More actions from all angles

"Ice uses HTML5 technology and has greater flexibility," explains Brian. "Ice can run on windows and ipads. ICE's built-in filter allows you to manage 10 video clips. The compact camera used by the SPORTVU system is made in Canada by a third party manufacturer. The cost of the ICE platform depends on the installation and costs up to 100,000 dollars. This cost includes software maintenance, support, and updates. SPORTVU provides online human services to help every NBA team.

Teams can use different NBA terminology, vocabulary and definitions, and stats will keep the data of the teams secret. Last season, the 15 teams using SPORTVU recorded more than 50,000 removal tactics and more than 140,000 tactical executions.

The data behind the superstar

Big data analysis will give NBA teams a better idea of what superstars are doing on the pitch, or why role players have been overlooked, such as why the sixth or bench man who can play number 45th is often despised.

The NBA only records successful assists, so the team needs better ways to understand the value of helping teammates score. By using the SportVU heat map, the instructor can break down how the scoring guard makes the assists, how to perform a fast attack and the last 5 seconds of the 24-second offensive.

The new rebound stats are based on the player's time around the basketball, as Rodman did in Detroit Pistons or Chicago. I personally like this statistic very much, because I am this type of player. This statistic allows the instructor to understand the importance of previously quantifiable data and to apply the analysis to 82 regular games.

The Raptors use phantom images to show how the player should run instead of the actual position. Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant was forced to cast three points 25 feet away from the rim, in which case his players were not worth as much as All-Star Bosh in the heat of the Miami Heat, because Bosh would win three points in a big space block.

LeBron ran 3.3 miles, touched the ball 117 times, and the rebound landed near his LeBron 11 sneakers when he got 85% rebounds.

The trainer can use the data to improve the player's training, highlight the player's physical characteristics, determine the rebound range, and show the defender who is closest to the basketball. Knowing the distance the point guard can take to break through the line to find a shot will also give the team an edge.

The team can use the data to lay out the perfect player's tactics and team model, to play the best in the offense, and to understand why players react in a specific way in the face of zone defense and one-on-one defense.

At the beginning of the game know the player has the ball and the speed of running without the ball, and in the fourth and a half, know when the team energy area will be depleted, these data can make the NBA team really benefit. The data can help small market teams compete more fairly with big city teams.

"With ice, you can analyze the player's technical capabilities and characteristics in a way that is unprecedented," says Brian. ”

Stats's clients include 85 sports leagues and more than 55,000 games, and the NBA can rest assured. The ice platform is designed to enhance the performance of the team and improve the fans ' viewing experience. The NBA provides teams with unprecedented ability to adjust their game plans and improve the performance of their players based on real-time game data. Fans can use the NBA.com, NBATV, and NBA Game time apps to enjoy the big data fun of ice, to see if the heat can get consecutive, because it's very likely to be statistically significant.
