The 3-2 Zone Defense is a basketball strategy where three players guard the perimeter and two players protect the paint. This formation helps teams defend against outside shooting while still having a strong presence near the basket. The three perimeter defenders are responsible for covering the wings and the top of the key, while the two inside players focus on blocking shots and grabbing rebounds. In this defense, players work together to cover specific areas rather than individual opponents. This allows for quick rotations and helps prevent easy scoring opportunities. The 3-2 Zone Defense is effective against teams that rely heavily on outside shooting.
