Zone 1 defense

STEP 1 Center sets a strong screen to free a teammate and create close-range scoring opportunities. Shooting guard changes location seeking advantage over the defender and scoring opportunities.
STEP 2
From here we will play high post–low post depending on whether there is a pass or not
STEP 3
The interior players (4 and 5), if when the ball is reversed they get to touch it and then pass it back out, cross paths: the player who was in the low post moves to the high post on the opposite side, and the same for the one in the high post (always moving first the one who was in the high post). If the reversed ball does not go through the two interior players’ hands, they move horizontally (from low post to the other side low post, and the same for high post)
