Hi

From the tactics section in the rules:

Defense:

Normal (Man-to-man): normal, all others are based off this.
2-3 Zone: Increased inside defense and rebounding at the expense of a lot of perimeter defense. Somewhat slow pace.
3-2 Zone: Increased perimeter defense at the expense of interior defense. Slow pace.
1-3-1 Zone: Dramatically increased perimeter defense at the expense of interior defense and rebounding.

Full Court Press: Significant increase in created turnovers at the expense of stamina, defense, and rebounding. Very high pace.

Ok, so the 131 is an even strong perimeter defence, but how does the 1-3-1 zone affect the pace?

And why should the 3-2 zone cause you to play slower?

Usually teams pass more against a zone defense to try to get a guy open or a mis match on a player. That's why the pace is slower...or so I think 1-3-1 may be slower for the same reason.
