Definition
拦网 is a volleyball term meaning 'to block' (at the net). It's a separable verb (离合词): the object 网 ('net') can split off from the verb 拦 when adding durational or frequency complements, e.g. 拦了一次网 ('blocked once at the net'). The word is specific to sports contexts; do not use it for general blocking.
