What is a Matchup Pressure Zone
Defense?
The match-up zone is a "hybrid" defense, which combines the tenacity and pressure of
man-to-man, with the help and support of a zone.
The on-ball defender closes out and plays tight to his opponent, using the same principles as a
good man-to-man defense. Meanwhile, your other four defenders pick up players in their respective zones, switching
freely so your big men stay down low and your quick guards stay on the perimeter.
Key Advantages
| 1. |
You can use it with a wide range of personnel. It's simple to
install and works like gangbusters, whether your team is tall, short, fast or slow. |
| 2. |
You can double team more aggressively, without leaving
players unguarded |
| 3. |
You can more easily control the tempo of the game... speed up or
slow down the action to press your advantage, or hide your weakness. |
| 4. |
It keeps your taller players under the basket, so they're in
optimal rebounding position at all times. |
| 5. |
It keeps your guards and wings on the perimeter, making it
faster and easier to start your fast break. |
| 6. |
You can protect players in foul trouble, unlike traditional man to
man sets, which expose your defenders to isolation plays, and make them more vulnerable to
fouling out. |
| 7. |
You can shut down the paint, and force opponents to score
from outside. Teams who can't consistently make the three will have a very difficult time
scoring against you. |
| 8. |
Many teams don't know HOW to attack a match-up zone. It looks
like a man to man one second, then a zone defense the next... confusing and frustrating for your
opponents! |
