That is an example of a zone defense. A zone means that there is no man-to-man defense. Instead, the whole team tries to stop the other team.

In a 2-1-2 zone, the two guards are on the side of the three point lines towards the top of the court, the center is usually in the middle (either on the left or right side of the key), and the two forwards are parallel to the two guards but near the basket, not the top of the three point line.

A zone is broken when a pass is caught in the middle. All players converge towards the ball, and the zone is broken.
