Basketball Man-to-Man Defense Animation

Return to previous page

Good offense wins games; great defense wins championships. When your offense is struggling, good defense can keep you in the game until your shots start falling. How are you going to catch up if you are down 12 at the half? - by playing great defense. Simply scoring more baskets won't do it if you allow the opponent to score also. You must keep the opponent from scoring with good defense and rebounding, to allow your offense to get back into the game.

Everyone has to play good defense, because one weak link will cause the entire defense to fail, and a good offense will eventually find out who the weak defender is. Playing good defense involves hustle, inspiration and perspiration (sweat!). You have to want to play good defense. Defensive skills are fairly easy to learn, unlike some offensive skills, and everyone can learn to become a good defender. If you are a poor, non-aggressive defender, you will hurt your team.
