I'm pretty sure that the opposite would happen. If you look at the ease of scoring in sports, I think it's clear that easier it is, the LESS important defensive strategies become.
Soccer is propably the lowest scoring sport, and in soccer a team having 5 players that never take part in attacks and only 1 true forward is by no means rare. Hockey has 2 defenseman out of five, and all players need to play a two-way game to at least some extent. In basketball you'll do just fine by sending out the guys with highest personal point totals.
