Superficially Veszprem missed the chance to win because they had the ball and time-out half a minute before the end of the match.
They had a real chance to win throughout the game, and the key element was not one, but a whole series of decisions.
Why?
Because before the last attack, 49 attacks were played in which different players took turns according to some key.
Banally speaking, on the positions of the left and center back, the best performance had Kentin Mahe 6/6, of which 4/4 were from 7 m, the second best was Petar Nenadić 6/8, the third Rasmus Lauge 3/7, and the worst was Patrik Ligetvari 0/1.
However, if we look at the team performance when those players were in the game, the picture changes.
Team efficiency was the best when Rasmus Lauge played 58%, slightly worse when Petar Nenadić played 57.5%, then Kentin Mahe 52%, and the worst when Patrick Ligetvari played 50%.
If in the combinatorics of determining the minutes of back players watching a match based on statistical facts may seem complicated, the pivot position is much simpler.
The fallacy created by superficial statistics is even greater.
Andreas Nilsson had a shot 3/5, and Blaž Blagotinšek 0/1.
When Andreas Nilsson played, the team had 53% efficiency, and when Blaž Blagotinšek played, 61%.
Nilsson took part in 32 attacks and Blagotinšek in 18.
