In this defense, the defense of the high post player is very important. There must always be a player in front to prevent the reception since it is the most critical area of our defense.
Our 3 (forward) is the one responsible for defending the ball handler initially, although there will be rotations in other options. At the top of the zone are 1 and 2, and at the bottom are 4 and 5.
In this option we did not trap in the corner, and when the pass goes to the top on the opposite side, we readjust all the players to return to the 1-2-2 setup.

Belongs to set: Defensa zonal 1-2-2
