>>242478 Oh, I actually know this one.
Basically, what the defense is doing is called "sloughing" can you picture the way the offense sets up? Kinda like a 6 on the die, with that one guy closer to the goalie?
Well, we're focusing on the guy right straight in the fucking middle. This is where you put your badass tank motherfucker that can literally kill a man with his bare hands.
Well, the second he gets the ball, he's considered a shooting threat, meaning almost any foul on him is an exclusion, as long as the ball is close to him.
If that guy in the middle gets his hands on the ball; you're looking at, no joke, a 70mph shot from like 2 yards away. Its some serious shit.
So unless you put an even more badass motherfucker (the referees give a LOT of advantages to the offense, so the offense's "center" needs to be a great deal weaker than the defense's) you slough, or make it so there's at least one guy close. With that one guy, there's no way to get the pass there. This leaves one guy open. You try to block a shot, which you can't do when you rush because movement is horizontal (swimming) and blocking is vertical.
Note that Water Polo is: A) much more entertaining when you can see the shit that players get away with underwater and B) considered by many to be the most physically demanding sport in the world.
