San Antonio Spurs: Zipper Twist Special (Frame 1)
1 zippered off a screen from 4. 3 inbounded to 1.
5 slipped a middle pick & roll and 1 then passed to 2.
By slipping 5 to the rim, it forced the weak side defenders to help in the lane a little more.
San Antonio Spurs: Zipper Twist Special (Frame 2)
4 then sprinted into a side pick & roll. 2 turned it down and at the same time 5 flared 3 to the corner for an open 3-pointer from the corner.
With the defense already shifted in the lane, as (4) sprinted out into the pick the Warriors’ defense helped high which opened up a driving lane for 2.
With the defense focused on 2 and 5 this opened up the flare in the corner for the knock down 3-pointer.
Oklahoma City Thunder Slide Punch
3 cut off a screen from 4. By moving 3 over top, X4 had to respect the cut for a moment which forced the defense to be a tad late on the pick & roll.
4 then stepped out and set a pick & roll for 1. 1 came off and found 4 rolling to the rim. The defense decided to stay home on 2 which allowed 4 to be open on the roll.
Throughout the game the Thunder continued to put Memphis into pick & roll situations with a shooter spaced away to force the defense to make a decision to help or to stay home
Heat vs. Bulls Rhodie Punch
2 cut off a stagger from 3 and 5. 5 then flared 3. The Bulls had to respect the fact that 2 and 3 both came off screens.
This allowed 5 to quickly step out for the pick & roll for 1. The defense on 5 was a tad late helping.due to the original scrreening action on 2 and 3.
Screening players into picks OR setting screening which puts the defense in a bind and using the initial screener as a picker makes it very difficult for the on ball screeners defender to effectively defend the screen and roll.
