23 Stack: 3 inbounds from under the basket on the right. 2, 4, and 5 stack on the right lane line with 2 lowest, 1 at the top as the safety. The zone sits in its base with X3 and X4 on the forwards' spots. Why the stack is on the lane line and not the block: it is in the gap between the forward and the middle, where neither owns it.
On the slap, 2 cuts along the baseline to the right corner, dragging X4 with him. Why the shooter goes first: the forward has to decide about him before anything else happens, and that decision is the read.
5 steps in and screens X5, the middle. Why the screen on the middle: with the forward gone to the corner, the middle is the only defender who could take the block, and he is about to be screened out of it.
4 slides down into the gap on the right block that the screen opened. The read is X4: he went outside with 2, so 4 is open inside. Why the slide is after the screen: 4 arrives at a block the middle can no longer reach.
3 inbounds to 4 on the block and 4 scores. Score. Why the pass is to the block and not the corner: the forward chose the corner, so the offense takes the layup he left.
4 lays it in. Score. Why the inbounder waits: the play has two answers, and the forward picks which one by where he goes.
Next trip, the adjustment, the counter called Splitter: the zone keeps X4 home on the block and drops X1 from the top guard spot to take the corner instead. Reset in the stack, 3 inbounding again, 1 at the top. Why the zone does this: a forward who stays home cannot be dragged, and a guard can run to a corner.
1 passes the ball to 3 out of bounds to restart the stack, and the zone sets with X1 already leaning toward the corner. Why the zone shows it: a guard who is going to drop to the corner has to start closer to it.
On the slap, 5 steps down and posts between X4 and X5, sealing the inside man, while 2 curls off 4 to the corner anyway. X1 drops toward 2. Why 5 seals now: the forward is staying home, so the block has to be taken from him with a body, not a screen.
The read for the counter is X4 again: with X1 dropping to the corner late, X4 steps toward 2 to help on the corner, and the moment he does, 4 slides down the lane into the gap he left. Why this is a two-on-one: 2 and 4 are both in X4's area, and X1 has not arrived.
3 inbounds to 4 in the gap. 4 catches facing the rim with 5 sealing below him and the forward out on 2. Why the gap and not the corner: the counter was built to punish the forward helping on the corner, and he did.
4 shoots the short jumper from the gap. Score. Why the stack and the splitter are one play: the forward can go out or stay home, and the inbounder has a pass for each.
