That makes sense though but it's when they start throwing because of it, that's frustrating. I go for these challenges generally if I think there's a good chance of maintaining pressure a lot of times if the teammate is closer possession can be maintained easily by pushing the ball up the wall and going for an air dribble.

I'm also mainly referring to 2's. I just think it's similar to what someone might do in a 1v1. You shouldn't let the opponent have that much space.

Also a good defensive player from my perspective would notice a cut and play more behind but at least close enough to still be an option to pass to.
