pression tout terrain

CONT: La «zone-presse» peut être comparée au harcèlement sur tout le terrain, du fait que le but recherché est identique, à savoir empêcher le déroulement normal des actions offensives adverses et tenter l'interception du ballon.
OBS: harcèlement : Manœuvre défensive consistant à serrer le marquage en surveillant étroitement son opposant et en tentant d'intercepter le ballon.

CONT: In ""pressure"" defence, the defending team makes positive attempts to gain possession of the ball and prevent the shot being taken. An extension to the principle of pressure defence leads t the ""press"". This is a form of defence in which pressure is applied over an area far beyond that from which a shot would normally be taken. In the case of a ""full-court press"", pressure is applied over the whole court whenever that team is defending.
CONT: A ""full-court press"" is applied all over the floor; a ""half-court press"" only after the ball is brought across the mid-court line.
