Basketball drill: explanation of 2-1-2 zone and 3-2 zone.

Suitable for the following techniques: defense

Explanation of 2-1-2 zone and 3-2 zone.

Advantages 2-1-2 zone:
  • strong under the board and at the free throw line
  • good fast break possibilities at the moment of the shot
  • against good centers and inside teams
  • great rebound positions, as the spots in front of the defensive triangle are already taken in advance
Disadvantages 2-1-2 zone:
  • vulnerable on the weak side to the end line and center in front of the free throw line
  • shooters from close or half distance
Advantages 3-2 zone:
  • strength lies in the mobility of the front line, which the opponent must attack aggressively; possibly double-teaming
  • shooting from outside the bucket is difficult against this zone
  • opportunities for organized fast break
  • very useful against inexperienced and technically weak teams
Disadvantages 3-2 zone:
  • weak between the two lines and in the corners
  • rebound positions can often be less well occupied
  • overloading in the corner/side areas is dangerously weak against a good center
