Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF
... [A play in which] the offensive team moves the ball quickly from its backcourt to the forecourt before the defensive team has a chance to set up its defensive patterns. 2, record 2, English, - fast%20break
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The fast break, or free-lance, style is a helter-skelter type of offense. The ball is grabbed by the center as it rebounds off the backboard, and he passes it to one of his guards or forwards as quickly as possible. The idea is to give the opposition little or no time to regroup and set its defense. As a result, the fast-breaking team may have as many as three or four players going against two defenders. And a team that plays this style may get as many as 20 shots more than its opponents during a game. 6, record 2, English, - fast%20break
