Direct Screen Defense Drill - STEP 1: <div>Player 1 passes to 2, who must work to receive the ball, and then plays a pick-and-roll with 5, who rolls long
Player 1 passes to 2, who must work to receive the ball, and then plays a pick-and-roll with 5, who rolls long. The defensive rule for the screen is initially red (go under first and flash). If the offense gains no clear advantage, the ball is passed back to 1 for a shot, who has spaced out to make help defense harder (next).
Then we switch to an aggressive pick-and-roll defense with the same sequence.
Perimeter players rotate among themselves and bigs rotate as well.
