Pressure defence - The Diamond Press
Diamond & 1 Press
The 1, 2, & 3 are watching the ball & the players in front of them.
The 4 & 5 are keeping an eye on the players in front of them while keeping an eye out for any players cutting to the frontcourt.
“Trap the player with the ball”
The 1 is the first to attack.
If it’s on the right side, the 3 will help to trap.
If it’s on the left side, the 4 will help to trap.
The 2 remains in the centre in case the ball is passed out, the 2 is ready to help.
If the ball is passed across, the 2 & 4 will trap.
The Goal of the Press:
To delay the other team from crossing half-court within 8 seconds. This is also where the yelling will come in handy.
For example, “ball” if he’s dribbling, and “dead” if he has stopped dribbling
The 5 is ALWAYS the closest person to the basket.
Pretend the frontcourt is broken up into 4 sections.
If there is an opposing player behind half-court, then #5 must be in section 2.
If the player is in section 2, then the #5 must be in section 3.
If the player is in section 3, then #5 remains in section 3 on the side the player is in.
