Concepts vs zone IV

STEP 1

We transfer everything worked on in the previous chapters of How to work concepts against a 2-3 zone.

Here in the first diagram, 5 moves to the high post but does not receive, so performs a BD so that JCB(2) can penetrate and split or play with the inside players (see previous chapters)

STEP 2

We must always be vertical to the hoop. Since we cannot finish and there are players in better open positions, we choose to open the zone with an outside pass. It can go to 1, but I like to play from the corners, so I look for a pass to 3 to force the zone defender to step out and contest a possible shot

STEP 3

Small forward adjusts position to facilitate ball movement and anticipate the defense. 2 alters position to create defensive mismatches and penetration options. 5 adjusts position to facilitate ball movement and anticipate the defense. 4 moves to support teammates and maintain constant game flow. 5 adjusts position to facilitate ball movement and anticipate the defense.
