Based on previous study by Iida and Khalid (2020), it was found that GR and AD of Basketball game was
0.073 and 0.046, respectively. These values indicate that basketball can be categorized as sophisticated and
highly engaging game (Naying et al. 2020). In this study, the rule change and analysis of the game process
information of professional basketball games were analyzed. Different motion in mind measures between strong
and weak teams were also analyzed based on such measures.
2. Motion in Mind and National Basketball Association (NBA) Game Analysis

From the previous database on the rules (https://cdn.nba.net/nba-drupal-prod/nba-rules-changes-
history.pdf) and data collected these decades (https://stats.nba.com/), both GR and AD values evolution were
approaching the reasonable zones (GR of [0.07, 0.08] and AD of [0.045, 0.06]) implying that the game rules
becomes more reasonable and sophisticated over the years, which explains the reason for basketball popularity
over the decades (Figure 1 (left)). To further analyse the game process of NBA team, the competition between
the Milwaukee Bucks (Rank 2) against the New York Knicks (Rank 26) was adopted. Preliminary analysis
indicates that there is a moment in the game scoring that makes one of the team “overpowering” its opponent
decades (Figure 1 (right)). However, such measures may be unreliable in some cases (i.e., tied game). As such,
motion in mind measures were utilized to analyse the game process.

that indicates there is a moment of “turning point” between win/lose the game (right)

Based on the v measures, the Milwaukee Bucks approached v = 0.5 quickly and capable enough to keep
about v = 0.52. While the New York Knicks' velocity also approached v = 0.5 quickly, they cannot keep the
velocity, which was overpowered in a brief time where the v = 0.43. Meanwhile, Milwaukee Bucks and New
York Knicks' forces are both located at 0.004 at the end of the process, and the tendency of force is almost
similar when the game ends. In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion
of an object. We used force to measure the interaction and adhesion between players with games on the
psychological side, and we can see after these decades will be approached to a similar force zone. As the game
progresses, our curiosity decreases, and our inertia increases; thus, our adhesion between players and the game
decrease. It is reasonable to finish the basketball game when the force is located at 0.004; if the play is
prolonged, the force will be too small to attract players.
