Often, the offense will utilize picks (blocking the defender of the offensive player with the ball with another offensive player) against whoever is guarding the ball or even away from the ball. Often, the two defenders have to switch who they're guarding to keep the person with the ball from driving. When you switch, the offense often gets mis-matches (ie a quick, small offensive player guarded by a slow big player or vice versa, a big, strong player down low guarded by a short player). There is often a lot of confusion when multiple picks are used. Finally, and possibly the biggest factor is that it's exhausting. Rather than staying in one general region (like in a zone) you have to run all over the court to stay with your man.

Basketball is typically played on a basketball court. You will also need a basketball and a few other players to play with.
The rule for scoring in the wrong basket is that the other team gets the point
Yes, it counts as a point for the other team if you score in your own basket. It has happened a few times recently in college basketball.
In basketball, a "cherry pick" is when the opposing team is playing defense and once they gain possession, such as a steal or turnover, they will have a man down at the other end of the court, alone to pass it to, to make the easy basket.
Basically, on offense, you have to dribble the ball down to your side of the court and find a way to get the ball down to the goal and shoot and make it in the basket. On defense, you have to stop the other team from shooting the ball into the basket. If you steal the ball you go back to what I told you to do on offense.
the point goes to the other team.
