English

While the role of first and second defenders are rather similar, the third defenders' role is very different in zone defence and man-to-man defence. en.wikipedia.org

In principle, there are two ways of defending, zone defence and man-to-man defense. en.wikipedia.org

In a zone defence, defensive players mainly move in relation to each other, whereas a man-to-man defence mainly moves in relation to opposing players. en.wikipedia.org

Also, even in zone defence, some opponents, for example those moving into dangerous space, may temporarily need to be marked. en.wikipedia.org
