Defense may consist of individual guarding or team patterns. Individual man-to-man defense is both a basic style of play and the name of a team strategy in which each player is assigned to cover one opponent wherever he goes on the floor. This is the prevailing form of team defense. Also used extensively is some form of the zone defense, in which a player is given a specific area of the floor to guard and picks up any opposing player coming through it. 3, record 1, English, - individual%20defence
