Frame 1

3 pops out of (5-3) ‘Pin-Down Screen” & then immediately ‘Iverson Cuts’ over the top of 5 to the opposite wing. 1 makes ‘Wing Pass’ to 3 then Flare-Cuts off of the 95-1) ‘Flare-Screen’ 4 and 2 remained ‘stacked up.’

 

 

Frame 2

After 3 receives the ball, 2 makes a ‘Pipe-Cue’ up to the new ‘Ballside Slot.’ With 1 at the ‘Weakside Wing,’ horizontally stretching the defense and 5 at the ‘Weakside Slot’ outside of the arc, stretching the biggest or second biggest defender vertically; 4 is able to isolate his defender on the ‘Ballside Block.’ If nothing is available inside, 3 reverses the ball to 2, now located outside of the arc.

 

Frame 3

After 2 receives 3’s pass, 5 steps over to set a ‘Big-on-Small Ball Screem’ for 2 to dribble across to the opposite side of the floor. As 2 ‘dribble-scrapes’ off of 5’s top shoulder, 4 chases the ball by cutting across the lane. As 2 breaks contact with 5, 5 ‘Rim-Runs’ to the now vacant weakside of the lane. 2 can make Inside Passes to either 4 or, a ‘Wing Pass,’ to 1 or a ‘Throwback Reverse Pass’ to 3. All five offensive players have repositioned themselves into “3-Out/2-In Spot Ups” to seamlessly continue the offensive action.
