1 dribbles into the breakdown zone and 4 slides even with him, because the trailer has to be level with the ball before the drive starts or the pitch will be thrown backward and uphill.
1 attacks the middle gap; 4 trails six to eight feet behind in line with the rim and the ball, 5 relocates to the right block to stay opposite, 2 lifts one big step, and 3 is patient in the corner, because the help has to come from somewhere the offense can see.
The read: X4 sinks in to stop the drive at the nail, so 1 jump stops in the drop zone and reverse pivots, because the man who left is the man who gets the ball.
1 pitches back to 4, who is even with the ball, and circles under to the right wing, because the driver has to leave the lane open for the trailer's attack.
4 attacks downhill into the gap 1 emptied; the scouted adjustment is X4 recovering straight back into that gap to wall it, so the pitch ends up negative and 4 is stopped at the drop zone with nothing downhill.
Counter: 4 swings the ball back to 1 at the wing instead of forcing it, because a stopped drive is a pass, and the ball reaching the wing on the right starts the next attack.
Counter continued: 4 basket cuts hard through the lane and out to the far corner, 3 lifts to the slot he left, and 5 relocates to the left block, because the cut has just turned 1's side into a triple gap.
1 drives the triple gap into the rack zone; nobody can help from the left without leaving a shooter, and X2 can't leave the corner, which is why the cut was worth more than the pitch.
1 finishes the layup; the pitch was taken away and the swing-and-cut gave the point guard the biggest gap in the offense, which is why the guard cuts after he passes.
