Box Double Low – Slip Seam Option vs Zone

Diagrams created with FastDraw

This is a great play for a shooter against a Zone Defense.

The 5 player will pop out to the corner for the pass.

The 4 player will screen for the 1 player, who pops out to receive the pass from the 5 player.

The 5 player will cut to the block after making the pass to the 1 player.

The 3 player will step in and screen X3, with the 5 player screening X5.

The 2 player will cut off the double screen, looking for the 3-point shot in the corner.

If X3 steps out and takes away the pass to the 2 player, the 3 player will slip right into the seam for the easy jump shot.

This is an overload action against the Zone, which puts 4 offensive players vs. 3 defenders on the strong side of the floor.
