a defensive strategy where two players from the defending team focus their efforts on guarding a single offensive player
What is a "double team"?
A double team in basketball occurs when two players from the defending team work together to guard a single player on the opposing team. This strategy is often used when the player with the ball is a strong scorer or when the defense wants to force a turnover. The two defenders try to limit the offensive player’s options, making it harder for them to pass, shoot, or dribble. A successful double team requires good communication and coordination to avoid leaving other players open for easy shots.
Example
The star player was constantly facing a double team during the game.
When LeBron drives to the basket, he often draws a double team.
The coach instructed the defenders to initiate a double team on the opposing team 's center.
