Two guards up against the 1-3-1, 5 at the free-throw line in front of X5, 4 in the right short corner behind the zone, 3 on the left block. Why 4 is in the short corner: it is the one spot a 1-3-1 covers with its baseline runner alone.
1 passes to 2 on the right wing. X3 takes him, X1 drops to the elbow, X4 the warrior slides to the ball side, X2 sinks to the weak block. Why the wing: the short corner pass comes from the wing, and the warrior has to decide before it does.
2 feeds 4 in the short corner. X4 the warrior is the only defender who can get there and he commits to the catch. The read is X4 leaving the block. Why the catch is conceded: a 1-3-1 would rather have its runner on the ball than let a short corner shot go up.
5 dives from the free-throw line to the right block the moment the warrior commits, and 3 lifts from the left block toward the weak corner. Why both: it is three offensive players on the baseline for two defenders, HoopTactics' three-on-two.
4 passes to 5 on the block and 5 scores. Score. Why the dive beats the 1-3-1: the middle was fronting the free-throw line and the warrior is out on the short corner, so nobody owns the block.
5 lays it in. Score. Why the zone will adjust: a coached 1-3-1 drops its middle onto the block the next time, which is the adjustment the next frames show.
Next trip, the adjustment: reset with 5 at the free-throw line, 4 in the short corner, 3 on the left block, and now X5 cheats low, ready to drop onto the block. Why the zone does this: it has decided to give up the free-throw line to keep the dive off the board.
1 passes to 2, 2 feeds 4 in the short corner, and as 5 dives, X5 drops onto the block with him. The read for the counter: the free-throw line is empty. Why that matters: HoopTactics says a high post catch against a 1-3-1 is an immediate three-on-two, and the zone has just vacated the high post.
2 feeds 4 in the short corner; X4 commits, X5 drops with the diving 5. Why the dive still goes: it drags the middle to the block, which is the whole counter.
The counter: 4 passes back out to 2 on the wing, 5 flashes from the block back up to the empty free-throw line, and 3 lifts to the left corner. Why the pass out first: the high post catch needs to come from the wing, with the middle below it.
2 passes to 5 at the free-throw line. 5 catches facing the rim with X5 behind him, X4 on the short corner, and 3 alone in the weak corner. Why the catch is the three-on-two: the wings pinch, the chaser is behind, and the only low defenders are on the other two players.
5 passes to 3 in the weak corner, the pass HoopTactics says is always open against a 1-3-1, and 3 shoots. Score. Why the corner: the weak-side wing dropped to the baseline on the ball side, and the warrior is in the short corner.
3 shoots the corner three. Score. Why this play finishes the 1-3-1 group: it uses the short corner, the dive, the high post, and the always-open corner, and each one answers the zone's last adjustment.
