3 Sistemas defensivos del Básquetbol

Basketball defensive systems:

1-3-1 defensive system.

In this defense, player 1 is the

point guard, 2 and 3 are the wings, 5 is

the center, and 4 is the baseline player. Okay,

now let's look at the

basic movement patterns in this system. The

ball goes to the offensive 2, and our 3 moves out to

defend the ball. 4

starts moving to the side where

the ball is, getting closer to the

corner player.

The defensive 2 starts crowding the

middle, and 1 moves as well, as do

the others.

Now the ball is in the corner, and 4 moves

to guard the corner player.

Our 2 would replace his position,

ending up practically under the basket, and

we clearly see another 1-3-1.

Now let's go to the other side, and it would be

practically a mirror image,

but exactly the same.

2 is the one who now moves out to guard the player

in the offensive 3 position.

4 starts moving towards

a corner, and 3 is the one who now

starts crowding the inside

so that 5 and 1 move a

little to the side. Where is the

ball

now? Here, finally, the ball passes to the

offensive player 4. Similarly, the 4 begins

to run towards the corner.

The 2 also makes a short run

from where the ball is. The 5 is in

the middle, and the 13 is

now positioned right under the basket,

marking his position.

Now we see how each player on the

team applying this 1-3-1 system

marks their position and where they have to

move. Basically, we see the

colors that distinguish them and

the area or zone that each one would occupy.

Some relevant aspects of this

system are that it is a good zone defense

for working on defensive intensity and

coordination among the five

players. Another is that it is a demanding defense,

of course, so the players

must be in a certain physical condition. The

players must keep their

arms open and raised, occupying their

designated space or zone. And another is that it

greatly facilitates learning

communication in defense, as it is a

very important factor in this defense, and well, of course,

in all defenses.

1-2-2 defensive system.

Very good. Here the ball is in

the offensive position of player 1

inside. From the Y-axis, we see a clear 1-2-2

defensive system. The

ball is passed to the offensive 2 at a 45-degree angle. Here we see

that in this case, our 2 is guarding the

offensive 2. Our 5 starts

managing the zone, and our 4 slowly

begins to move to the corner, which is key

for this zone, just like for all

zones. Arms are active all the time to

occupy more space and make the

defensive zones smaller. The

ball is now in the corner, and here we see

a clear 1-2-2. If we have, of course, the

ball as a reference point, the main

communicators with the ball in the corner are

the 5 and the 3. We see a movement by

the 2 who approaches, trying to

create almost a 1-2-on-1.

If we go to the other side, the 13 is

now doing the direct marking. The

5 dribbles a little towards the

corner, and the 1 stays there a little,

sliding to our left. The

4 positions himself a little below the

basket, and the 2 makes a small movement. The

main communicators are the 4 and, of

course, the 2.

Here we basically observe how

the 5... The player who plays

direct marking is number 3, who also moves out a bit to

mark the player. Number 4 is fully positioned

under the basket. Number 2 slides slightly

towards the center, and number 1 stays

somewhat in his zone. Basically, a mirror image is created

compared to

the previous plays on the

opposite side.

Here we can observe how

each area that each player must cover is marked and designated in

this

defensive system, with each player marking their

assigned area.

Some of the strengths of this

system are that it is a good defense

against a team with good outside shooting

but without a very strong inside game.

It also allows for

pressure on the ball on the perimeter,

especially on the sides, offering many

second-on-one opportunities. It is also

ideal for

masking both zone and

man-to-man defenses. The

2-1-2 defensive system: In this system,

we find the power forward and small forward at the back, the center (number

5) and the point guard (number 1) in the center, and the point guard

and shooting guard at the front. Now

we see some of the movements that are

made on the court.

As we can see, the attacker is

number 2. From the offensive team, player

2 of our team goes out to mark the ball. If you

notice, the

212 base remains and doesn't move; it has the

same parameters. In the same way,

when the attacker passes to the next

corner, player

4 is the one who now moves to the

corner. When the ball reaches the

corner with the offensive player, player 2 makes a

run, trying to create a 1-2-

on-1 situation, and player 13 is the one who now

maintains communication and positioning himself

low, just long enough.

Now let's go to the other side, about 45 degrees, and

we see the same

212 position. Player 1 is the one who goes out to mark player

3. Player 3 moves a little towards a corner.

We see the same alignment of the system, and

now player 40 starts to position himself

under the basket. Players 5 and 2 simply

move towards where

the ball is, as we

have already pointed out in the

other systems. Here, it is simply

a mirror image compared to the

opposite side. When the ball reaches

position 5 of the offensive player,

the defensive players simply

move. Player 1 is the one who goes out and

dribbles to mark the ball. The one who moves around

a bit and keeps marking

the 3, the 5 moves around as well, the 4 is the one

who positions himself right under the

basket, he's the one who

manages that. The 2 also makes a

movement, and practically they are the ones who

have the communication.

Now, well, we see here again, as

in the other systems,

clearly the zones or spaces that

each player has to mark within

this system.

The three, the two at the back, sorry,

the 3 and the 4, are the ones who mark there the

green area. The 5 marks the whole center,

marking, pointing to that circle.

1 and 2 are in front of this

system. We see there clearly in

blue the area or space that they have to

cover when performing this system.

As in all systems, it is a system

that requires a lot of communication between

the players and a certain, and

mostly, physical capacity in the

players, and mainly skill,

both coordination and communication. That

would be all from me. Thank you very much and

until next time.
