This type of defense is more offensive than 6-0. The defender in
front must primarily cover middle rear-player (CB). The advanced
player must be fast and aggressive and have a good eye to the game so
her team-mates don't happen to end in a situation of numerical minority.
The position demands a good deal of fitness, as the player must
move against her attacker all the time, but also move diagonally backwards
to help her team-mates when the backcourt's are in possession of the
ball. The type of defense automatically gives a solution as to who
is covering the CR. The defense is good to destroy the rhythm for
the opponents, who will be stopped in their play across the center as
well as their possibilities to shoot from the center.
