Orange Crush Defense

Orange Crush Defense is a basketball strategy that combines applying intense pressure on opponents, particularly in full-court or half-court defense, with a focus on aggressive ball-sticking and forcing turnovers. Named after the energetic, relentless attitude conveyed by the term "Orange Crush," it emphasizes disrupting passing lanes, challenging shot attempts, and creating chaos to hinder the opponent’s offense. This defensive approach aims to increase mistakes, generate fast-break opportunities, and maintain high energy and intensity to control the game’s tempo and momentum.
