Defense (sport)
Under defense or defense in sport is defined as the part of a team of mainly defensive duties has to be done and to ward off enemy attacks or in the Martial handles and measures to mitigate or negate the attack of the opponent.
ice Hockey
In ice hockey , the defense players (also called defense ) belong to the field players, so only the two defensive players , but not the goalkeeper, are included in this part of the team. The number of defenders can vary if a team is outnumbered or outnumbered.
Soccer
In football , the goalkeeper and defensive players ( central defender , full-back , libero ) are primarily responsible for defense.
American football
In American football , the defensive line players , the linebackers and the players of the backcourt defense (secondary), which consists of the cornerbacks and the safetys , are responsible for defense . The defense usually consists of four players from the back area defense, four linebackers and three players from the defensive line or three linebackers and four players from the defensive line. In certain game situations, if it is to be feared that the attacking team is trying to gain a lot of space with a pass, an additional back defender (Nickel Defense) or two additional back defenders (Dime Defense) are used at the expense of the other defense parts. If the attacking team is afraid of running games, the defensive line can also be reinforced. The defense always consists of 11 players.
basketball
In basketball , defense is mainly characterized by two different tactics. In zone defense, each player covers each of his opponents, depending on which player is currently in his own zone. In the man-man defense, each player is assigned exactly one opponent, who is guarded with the aim of preventing him from taking action. If your own team is in defense, it is common for the fans to support them with "defense" calls. The phonetic similarity of the English term "defense" with the German "die fans" has led to some puns in German basketball. So play z. B. Fan clubs with names like "Die Fans-Defense" (Bonn) or "deFANs Bochum" with this fact.
fencing
In fencing , the defensive measures are called parades . The attempted blow or stab of the opponent is prevented by your own defensive measures with the weapon.
Table tennis
In table tennis , defense players try to mislead the attacking player into making mistakes with targeted undercut balls. In individual cases, balloon defense balls are also played with the forehand , in which the ball is played back up and with an overcut (topspin).
All-around
In an all-around competition , different disciplines are played against each other and the results achieved are assessed with points. If an athlete has particular strengths in one of the final disciplines (e.g. in the final 800-meter run in the decathlon or heptathlon ), this discipline is referred to by sports reporters as a parade discipline (parrying) because of the possibility of improving the ranking of the competition .
