1 dribbles into the breakdown zone and reads X1: he is set and square, so 1 knows he will not get to the rack on this drive, which is why the drop zone exists.
1 attacks the lane line anyway, because the drive moves the defense even when it is stopped; X1 beats him to the drop line, so 1 jump stops in the drop zone with his shoulders to the sideline, ball protected, and 4 trails behind.
2 waits low and late, then starts the loop up out of the corner shadowing the arc, because a corner that leaves early kills the double gap; the read is X2: the scouted defense jumps the loop and plays 2 on the high side with his head turned to the driver, which is the cue every source names.
Counter: 2 takes one step up, shows both hands, yells ball, and back cuts hard to the rim, because a defender on the high side can't see the cut; 5 T's up into the middle of the lane so the baseline is empty, and 1 ball fakes to hold X1.
X2 recovers and runs with the cut, so 2 keeps going to the far corner and 3 lifts to the wing; the counter continues as the 1-4 game: 5 flashes from the T-up to the ball-side elbow calling for the ball, because the drop zone jump stop always has a second option.
1 passes to 5 at the elbow; the pass is thrown because X1 has been leaning toward the sideline the whole time, so the give-and-go is open behind him.
1 basket cuts off the pass, in front of X1 who jumped to the ball; 5 holds the ball high and reads the cut, because a guard who passes and stands has wasted the stop in the drop zone.
5 feeds 1 on the give-and-go, because the T-up and the elbow flash pulled X5 away from the rim and nobody is left to help.
1 finishes the layup: the drive was stopped, the loop was jumped, and the offense still got to the rack, which is why the drop zone is the heart of the system.
