Play Hand-off system - Back pick option, STEP 1: 1 dribbles to 4 who cuts and comes out the same side baseline2 sprints to 1 and fakes a maximum hand-off at the level of the paint shoulderIn the end 2 and 4 simply cross (note that 1, if smart, can get an easy basket attacking the hoop after the fake)3 moves down to the corner5 sprints to set a back pick for 2

STEP 1

  • 1 dribbles to 4 who cuts and comes out the same side baseline
  • 2 sprints to 1 and fakes a maximum hand-off at the level of the paint shoulder
  • In the end 2 and 4 simply cross (note that 1, if smart, can get an easy basket attacking the hoop after the fake)
  • 3 moves down to the corner
  • 5 sprints to set a back pick for 2

Play Hand-off system - Back pick option, STEP 2: 2 continues their sprint and dives behind 5's back pick and may receive from 1 for an easy basket5 after the back pick moves out

STEP 2

  • 2 continues their sprint and dives behind 5's back pick and may receive from 1 for an easy basket
  • 5 after the back pick moves out
Play Hand-off system - Back pick option, STEP 3: 1 passes to 5 who passes to 3 who sprints up the wing 5 after passing to 3 sets a ball screen for him (if defense prevents the 5-to-3 pass, 5 dribbles for a hand-off with 3) 2 moves out to the corner

STEP 3

  •  1 passes to 5 who passes to 3 who sprints up the wing
  •  5 after passing to 3 sets a ball screen for him (if defense prevents the 5-to-3 pass, 5 dribbles for a hand-off with 3)
  •  2 moves out to the corner
Play Hand-off system - Back pick option, STEP 4: 3 takes advantage of 5's screen to attack the basket5 dives after his screenImportant: 2 moves behind the screen because if X2 helps on the screen, he will be alone

STEP 4

  • 3 takes advantage of 5's screen to attack the basket
  • 5 dives after his screen
  • Important: 2 moves behind the screen because if X2 helps on the screen, he will be alone.
Then it's game reading to exploit the advantage from the screen with passing possibilities from 3 to 5, 3 to 4 + extra pass to 1, 3 to 1 + extra pass to 2, 3 passes to 2.

4 can also cut behind his defender at the moment of the screen.
Triangle offense if there are switches to get 5 via 2.

Many situations to work on in practice.
