We investigate the hot hand in the 1986-2019 NBA 3-Point Shooting Contests. Combining repeated shots in a location and shots across locations, the contest mimics game situations without many of the confounding factors. We find that a hot hand exists in the contest, but only for shots within the same location. Streaks of shots increase a hot hand, but only if the player makes his previous shot and has not moved locations. Our results suggest that while a hot hand does exist in basketball shooting, it is only present when shots are taken from the same shooting location.

NBA三分球大赛中的热手：位置的重要性，位置，位置

我们调查了 1986 年至 2019 年 NBA 三分球比赛中的热手。比赛结合了在一个地点的重复射击和跨地点的射击，模拟了比赛情况，没有许多混淆因素。我们发现比赛中存在热手，但仅限于同一位置内的投篮。连续投篮会增加手感，但前提是玩家之前投篮并且没有移动位置。我们的结果表明，虽然篮球投篮中确实存在热手，但只有在同一投篮位置投篮时才会出现。
