Defensive help 4v4

1. Def 4 (last player) is the first help.
2. Def 1 drops to close the back pass behind Def 4.
3. Def 2, who was beaten, closes the outside pass to 1 (if 1 receives, he defends him, same as Def 1 does with 4).
4. The defender of 3 makes an interior flash to recover his mark (“help, I was here”).

Shooting guard alters position to create defensive mismatches and penetration options. Point guard places themselves strategically to generate passing angles and anticipate defensive moves. 4 moves strategically to provide new passing lanes and open space. Small forward adjusts position to facilitate ball movement and anticipate the defense.

1. Defender 4 provides help on the penetration.
2. Defender 3 drops to cover 4’s back.
3. Defender 2 moves into the paint to block the outside pass and defend JSB3.
4. Defender 1, the beaten player, prevents the outside pass and covers JSB1.

The initial setup is organized to create synergy between movements, screens, and passes for the opening play.
