In lacrosse, a slide is a defensive move where a player helps their teammate by quickly shifting from their assigned area to cover an attacking player. This usually happens when the original defender is beaten by an attacker, and the defender slides over to prevent the attacker from getting an easy shot or pass. The sliding player must be quick and aware, as they need to close the gap and stop the offensive play. A successful slide can disrupt the attack and create an opportunity for the defense to regain control of the game.

Example
