The objective of this drill is to learn and internalize defensive balance to protect only the basket. Later, other aspects of defensive balance can be practiced. Clarification: in the diagram, attacker 3 and defender 3 are the same person. It just indicates that they go from being a shooter at midcourt to being a defender after shooting and running back for balance.
