1 passes to 3 on the right wing, because the flare lives on the weak side and the ball has to leave it first.
1 relocates toward the left slot after his pass instead of cutting, because the flare needs the passer on the weak side where his defender has to see both the ball and his man.
2 steps up from the left wing and sets the flare screen on X1's blind side, because a flare the defender sees is a flare he fights through.
1 flares off the screen to the left wing; the scouted adjustment is a switch, X2 jumping out to 1 while X1 is stuck on the screen, which is the read for the screener, because a switched flare leaves the screener's man chasing up.
Counter: 2 turns to the ball and slips to the rim the moment X2 leaves him, and 3 dribbles toward the middle for the angle, because the low defender who followed the screener up has emptied the lane.
Counter continued: 3 throws over the top to 2 slipping to the rim, because X1 is behind the play and X2 chose the shooter.
3 basket cuts off his pass toward the right block, because the passer always moves and a second cutter at the rim is the rebounder if the layup misses.
2 finishes the layup; the flare that was switched became a slip, which is why the screener's rule is to turn and slip the moment his man leaves.
