## 2 Methods
### Procedure  
In this study, the researchers sourced the analyzed videos from the official YouTube channel of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) (accessed on 31 January 2024). The matches from the first round of the 2021/2022 Women's EuroLeague were unavailable for download, so this study excluded them from the sample. Once the available videos were gathered, the researchers isolated the final minute of the fourth quarter along with any overtime periods from each game. These segments were then compiled into a single file and arranged chronologically according to the match dates. Filmora software (version 10.1.20.15) facilitated the editing and creation of this file. Expert observers, after undergoing targeted training in the use of the instruments, were tasked with recognizing and documenting the offensive technical-tactical behaviors. To assess the consistency of the data collection process [34], this study evaluated the accuracy of the recorded data by calculating Cohen's Kappa coefficient [35] using the LINCE software. \begin{table}

Table 1: Observational instrument and descriptive analysis of this study (first part). For this analysis, the researchers selected 100 plays (one-fourth of the total sample). The intra-observer reliability assessment produced Kappa coefficients of 0.92 and 0.93 for observer 1 and observer 2, respectively. Regarding inter-observer reliability, the analysis showed a Kappa value of 0.90. To ensure consistency and precision in data collection, any discrepancies identified were discussed and resolved jointly by the observers. Following this agreement process, both observers collaboratively carried out a final review of the entire dataset. Although either observer was qualified to perform this independently, a joint review was preferred to enhance the rigor and efficiency of the observation procedure. Finally, this study compiled all the recorded actions into an Excel file, which provided flexibility for various transformations and analyses in the subsequent research phases.
