1 brings the ball to the right slot and 5 trails into a drag screen just inside the three-point line, set at an angle that forces X1 over the top, because a screen that lets the defender go under is a pull-up three and nothing else.
1 comes off the drag toward the middle; 3 shakes up out of the strong corner to the wing, 5 rolls, and 2 and 4 hold the weak-side sideline, because the lift forces X3 to choose between the roller and the shooter.
The read: X1 is over the top and trailing, so the corner is turned, and the scouted defense answers with X5 in a drop at the elbow, because the drop is how a big guards a drag without hedging.
The scouted adjustment continues: X3 steps in from the wing to tag the roll, so the pocket pass to 5 is covered too, which is why 3 at the wing is now the open man.
Counter: 1 kicks to 3 at the right wing, the man the tagger left, because a drop and a tag cover the drive and the roll and nothing else.
Counter continued: 3 drives X3's long closeout baseline while 1 relocates to the right slot, because a defender sprinting from the rim can't stop a baseline drive, and 5 seals X5 under the rim.
X5 steps across to stop 3, so 3 drops the ball to 5 sealing, because the roller who finished his roll is always the last man open.
5 finishes the layup; the drag, the lift, the kick, and the drive each took one defender, which is why spread spacing is the first drag a team installs.
