English term or phrase: is double
Malone is double. They swat at it and steal it. Here comes Chicago, Michael never clears so Malone doesn't see him. He comes from the blind side and trips him.

wird von zwei Verteidigern bedrängt/gedoppelt
Explanation:
“double” ist verkürzt für “double-teamed”
In basketball, a double team (also double-team, double teaming, or double-teaming) is a defensive alignment in which two defensive players are assigned to guard a single offensive player.

Jazz come down, Malone is double teamed and passes out to Stockton who hits the 3 to put the Jazz up by 3. Bulls call timeout. Jordan receives the inbound pass and drives to the basket to lay it up. If you look at the play, Russell had hit the ball and Carr was maybe inches away from blocking the lay up. Jazz come back on offense and feed Malone in the post. Jordan leaves Hornacek to double team Malone from the blind side.
