The ball has gone to the left wing with nothing there, so 3 passes it back out to 1 in the left slot, because the offense reverses before it forces and a reversal is where the next read lives.
1 looks to reverse to 2 and X2 is in the lane denying the guard-to-guard pass; the read is made, because a denied guard in the two-guard front is waved through, never waited on.
1 waves 2 through: 2 cuts through the right elbow and brushes X5 on his way to the right corner, and 5 flashes from the block up to the elbow behind him, because the brush is a screen the defense never sees set.
1 dribbles to the top to make the entry angle, and 3 drops to the left corner, because the Point phase is a one-guard front and the corners have to be filled before the elbow catches.
The scouted adjustment: X5 jumps above 5 at the elbow to deny the entry. The read is his position, because a center denied the elbow does not fight for it; the rule says he owns the elbow or he owns the rim.
Counter: 5 back cuts behind X5 to the rim, because a defender above the elbow has nobody behind him and the denial has put him on the wrong side of his man.
Counter finished: 1 throws the lob over X5 to 5 at the rim, because the help on a center back cut has to come from the corners and both corner defenders are a pass away.
5 finishes at the rim; the wave, the brush, and the back cut turned a denied reversal into a layup, which is why the Point entry is taught with the denial from day one.
