4-out 1-in: 1 brings the ball into the breakdown zone on the right, 4 is even with him in the left slot, 2 and 3 sit deep in the corners with both feet above the rim line, and 5 is below the left block, because a post opposite the ball leaves the whole right lane empty.
1 attacks the right lane line into the drop zone; the first dribble clips X1's hip. 2 stays put in the corner because the ball is headed below the free throw line, 3 lifts toward the open window, and 4 trails six to eight feet behind, in line with the rim and the ball.
The scouted adjustment: X1 beats 1 to the drop line and walls off the lane side, so 1 can't get his shoulders past him. The read is simple: shoulders not past the defender means pick up the dribble in the drop zone, jump stop, and pitch, because a stopped drive is a pass, never a mid-range shot.
1 pitches back to 4, a positive kick-back thrown to a trailer who is even with the ball, and clears to the right wing to refill the arc, because the ball never stops and the next catch is the next attack.
4 swings it right back to 1 at the wing before the defense resets; the counter starts here, because X1 is still overplaying 1's right hand toward the sideline, which is exactly what the scouting report said he would do.
Counter: 1 crosses over and attacks the middle gap instead of the lane line; 5 takes two big steps across the lane to the right block as 1 reaches the elbow, 4 slides to the top, and 2 lifts a step, so the help that comes has to come from across the lane.
Counter finished at the rack: X5 steps across to stop the ball, so 5 seals him on his back and 1 drives into the rack zone with the dump ready, because the help defender must give up a layup to one of them.
1 wraps the ball to 5 high, never below his head, because the post caught sealing and finishes with the outside hand; the drive made two defenders choose and both chose wrong.
5 finishes the layup; every miss here is his too, because the post who stays out of touching distance is always first to the rebound.
