These are some options to use to counter a defense that forces the dribbler of a ball screen down to the baseline.
I hope you can adapt to your system or take parts from to tweak what you do.

Against teams that force the ball handler away from the ball screen and towards the baseline.
We want the ball handler to attack the big.
If we kick to post he reverses the ball and sprints to next Ball Screen before his defender can recover.
If we don’t hit the post stepping out, we look to score with 4 getting a jumper or 1 beating the X4.
IF no shot is there we will run “TWIST” and set another screen on the ball.
VS DOWN DEFENSE ON A SHAKE OR LOADED SIDE
We will dribble handoff with the guard in the corner.
there is no hedge because post help is in the paint.
