"Breaking defenses", one of the top ten buzzwords of 2021.
The original meaning of "breaking defense" refers to breaking through the opponent's defense in the game, making the opponent lose its defense ability. Nowadays, "breaking defenses" has been extended to: losing the ability to resist something, starting from not accepting to accepting.
