En baloncesto , una doble marca (también llamada doble marca , marcando doble o marcando doble ) es una formación defensiva en la que dos jugadores defensivos se asignan para marcar a un solo jugador ofensivo. [ 1 ]
En las estrategias de baloncesto donde los defensores se asignan a jugadores específicos (a diferencia de las defensas zonales , donde se asignan a regiones específicas de la cancha), cada defensor se asigna a un jugador ofensivo (una defensa individual). Sin embargo, cuando un jugador ofensivo supera a su defensor, otro defensor puede ayudar y crear una doble marca. Una doble marca exitosa puede dificultar enormemente el movimiento y el pase del jugador ofensivo, de modo que pasarle el balón suele resultar en una pérdida de balón . No obstante, dado que dedicar dos defensores a un solo jugador ofensivo deja a otro jugador ofensivo sin marcar, si el jugador ofensivo logra recibir el balón y pasárselo a ese compañero, la probabilidad de que este anote aumenta considerablemente.
Double teaming is employed more frequently near the basket than away from it because a) offensive players' likelihood of making any given shot is greater and b) because players tend to congregate near the basket when the ball is in play there, a double-teaming defender can more easily break away if necessary (e.g., to recover a rebound or to block a shot from another player). One common offensive strategy is to have a tall, physically imposing player (usually a center) "post up" to force a double team, such that he can then either shoot or pass to the unguarded player (often a strong long-distance ["outside"] shooter attempting to make a three-point shot). A defending team may also double-team a good offensive player away from the basket simply to interfere with the offensive team's preferred tactics. In the NBA, players such as Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry have been double-teamed and triple-teamed on a regular basis due to their offensive prowess and scoring ability. Stan Albeck, a basketball historian and coach, said that the technique originated in the 1980s around the time Jordan was competing in the NBA.[2]
