Due Date: Thursday, May 19th
We have started our 5 on 5 unit. We have discussed playing zone vs. playing a man to man defense. Explain how your defensive strategy can help make your team successful during this unit. Also, include what type of defense your team should play against each other team in class based on your teams strengths and weaknesses. In order to receive full credit you must make sure to tell me your team and the type of defense your team should play againt the other 4 teams in the class. Make sure to give me a reason why you think this is the best defense.

THUNDER!
ZONE DEFENSE!
Our team should play with a zone defense, because it is less confusing and easier than playing a man to man defense. Also, we are capable of communicating well during our 5 on 5 pick games, which will make our zone defensive strategy successful. Our team doesn't run EXCEPT FOR ME! Therefore a man to man defense wouldn't work out.
Heat
- On this team we should play 1-3-1 because we would rather have them shoot than drive.
Lakers
- On this team we should play box and 1 because we want to play man on hugo there best player
Bulls
- On this team we wwant to play triangle two so we can focus on brad and max
Thunder
- On this team we want to paly man because we would rather have them drive to the basket than shoot

Defensive strategy allows the team to play well together. This lets the entire team know what to do and will promote teamwork. I play on the Heat, and our strengths influence us into playing a 2-3 zone. This is because we are a fast, lengthy, and intelligent team. And we will give up the three ball if we can stop the easy shots.

My team is the bulls. I feel that we should run a box and 1 defense because most teams have 1 star player who makes the majority of the points. We have players able to hustle and shut the opponent stars down so this defense would be most effective.

I think best way of defense for my team is triangle 2 because we won every game that we used triangle 2, and with this kind of defense nobody can drive in and score

I am on the bulls. Defensive strategy is important to your teams success because it can limit the other teams points and good defense can lead to good offense. On the Heat i would play a man to man defense cause they have athletes that can shut down any player man on man and there 3 dynamic shooters Boaz, Dj, and Jake could light up a zone. On the lakers i would play a Box and 1 because we would have to do shut down Hugo, there star player and i feel comfortable about controlling the rest of there team. on the Thunder i would play a zone because they are weak shooters and i would prefer them to take shots from the outside then drive to the basket. On the celtics i would play a man because they have one of the best shooters in the class constantine and paul and kwame can also knock down the 3 but i feel confident we culd shut them down in a man.

Thunder- Our defense against them should be a 2-3 zone because we want them only to have the deep shot available and for them to take difficult shots rather than easy buckets.
Bulls- Against this team, a triangle and 2 would work in covering their two best shooters while forcing the rest of the team to take low percentage shots.
Lakers-If used effectively, a box and 1 would limit their best player and put pressure on the rest of the team to create shots.
Celtics- We should play a box and 2 in order to cover their shooter and their play maker and force tough shots on the rest of the team.
Paul Trinh
Celtics
Lakers
Box and one to defend Hugo.
Bulls
Triangle and two to defend Brad and Max.
Thunder
Man to man to stop their perimeter shooting.
Heat
2-3 zone to limit their driving game.
Alan Furuyama (Thunder)
Defensive strategies can help lead to a successful team, because forcing the other team to their offensive weakness will increase our chances of winning.
Bulls- Triangle and 2, In order to Guard their better shooters closely, but also not allow easy shots for their other players.
Heat- Triangle and 2, Guard their better shooters closely, force them to drive into a packed inside.
Lakers- Box and 1, Guard their best player man to man, but pack the middle, forcing outside shots from other players.
Celtics- 1-3-1, Don't allow easier close range shots, and force tougher outside shots.

our defensive strategy helps our team because defense is one of the most important things in basketball. i am on the bulls and we like to run a man defense or a box and 1. on the teams that have only a few good shooters, we should play box and 1 to get the rebounds. on teams with alot of good shooters we should play man to man so that they cant get a shot off.
Lakers- I would play a zone on the lakers to help keep hugo from driving cause he is quick and explosive. Although they still have good shooting i think there driving is better than their shooting.
Heat- I would play a man to man because they have some good shooters like constatine who dont do anything but shoot. If you get a hand in their face though they cant make it so a man to man would be appropriate for them.
Thunder- I would play zone because their players are better at driving to to the hoop and getting high percentage shots. So i would want them shooting outside shots.
Celtics- Man to man because we can match up with every one on their squad.

Matt Yung: Celtics
Against the:
Lakers- my team should play box and 1 because it is better for us to play man against Hugo
Heat- my team should play 1-3-1 because I think it is better to have them shoot then drive
Bulls- my team should play triangle two so we can focus on Brad and Max
Thunder- my team should play man because it is better for them to drive to the basket then shoot.
Celtics
I think we should run a zone defense because we have a center (Kwame) that can shut down the opponent when driving and can crash the boards. Also our guard play is quick and could get a lot of transition points.
Thunder
Our team's defensive strategy should be zones, that way there is no confusion on who is guarding who. Also, we should play a 2-3 zone with each team. Although we know each team's strengths and weakness it's important that we guard each area equally because shots could be made from anywhere.

Tiffany Zhang- Heat
A good defensive strategy will allow us to have better defense and prevent the other team from scoring, thus allowing us to win.
Bulls- Man to man since 4 of thier players can do 3 point shots and some can do them away from the 3point line.
Lakers- Box and 1 so the best player will be tied down.
Thunder- 2-3 formation so they have to make hard shots that they probably can't make
Celtics-Man on man because they have some good 3-point shooters and they have people who are good at driving.
Candy Kuo
Lakers
With a defensive strategy the team is more organized and can work better together. I think my team should play box 1 defense and have Hugo play man because he is the best player. However if the other team has a really good shooter I think playing man is better because personally I can't guard the front all that well.
Kwame Frimpong.
My team prefers the Triangle 2 zone because we dont have to move around as much, and the offense can only take perimeter shots instead of attacking the basket.
DJ Phillips
My team should play a 2-3 zone defense or a man to man defense. If the opposing team has no shooters, we should play 2-3. If we have good defensive matchups on them one on one then we should play man to man.
My team the Lakers are best playing a man to man defense. I think this would be best because to many teams, such as: the Bulls, and the Celtics we have a lot of openings when they drive to the basket in a zone defense. This is why we are able to communicate better with a man to man defense to know who gets who. Thefore a zone defense wouldn't work for the Lakers. Marquelle Conner

2-3 Zone Defense
My teams defensive strategy can help us win because we can prevent the team from driving to the basket and giving them the only options of shooting an outside shot, giving them a less chance of making it, and giving us the rebound. This can be an effective defense strategy on the opposing class teams.

our defensive strategy can make my team (thunder) successful because our defense can prevent the other team from scoring, therefore improving our chances of winning.
against the heat - we should play a 3-2 because their team is mostly guards and our guards are good
against the celtics - we should play a triangle two because their two stars are kwame and constantine
against the lakers - we should play box 1 to focus on hugo
against the bulls - we should play box 1 to focus on brad
daniel wu
