If you're facing a team that has a player who's highly talented and poses quite an offensive threat, you may want to consider using what is called point marking, or man marking, with your defense. With this approach, you designate one of your players to totally commit to stopping this offensive player, and even when your team has possession of the ball and is on the attack, this player hangs back so that he's always in position to defend the talented player if your team turns over the ball.
