We inbound the ball, letting the wing and post run through the central lane, and the ball-handler also stays in the central lane. Next, the wing drops because he reaches faster, and the post stays up for a screen and re-screen so the point guard can attack the rim. The wing who was on the baseline comes from behind to screen his defender while the defender attacks the rim after the screen and re-screen. Multiple options open: point guard drive, high-post pick & pop or three-point shot, and the interior wing if the screen hasn’t been completed targeting the defender's back.
STEP 1
Pick and re-pick, important the positioning of 3 stepping on the baseline to create space.
STEP 2
Center establishes a screen to create advantage and confuse the defense. 5 executes an effective screen maintaining the team’s offensive flow.
STEP 3
Small forward sets a strong screen to free a teammate and create close-range scoring opportunities.
