shot block
Swatted away attempt
A shot block is the act of deflecting or stopping an opponent's shot attempt in basketball or hockey.
The defender uses hands, arms, or body to prevent the ball or puck from reaching the goal: He recorded three shot blocks in the fourth quarter.
Players known for this skill are called shot blockers.
