To cross intentionally into a partner's forecourt territory either to volley an opponent's service return or groundstroke rally shot.  3, record 4, English, - poach

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

There is a slight difference between "poaching" and "interception". The first term implies a resolve to move over to one’s partner’s side of the court, whether one is expecting to make contact with the ball or not. The second term implies less doubt as to whether the ball will come or not. It will come and the player will meet the ball to put it away. In general, the French term "interception" conveys both English meanings. Related terms: cross, switch, to cut to the middle, to pick off the return of service.  3, record 4, English, - poach

... [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 6, English, - fast%20break

Record number: 6, 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 6, English, - fast%20break
