1 dribbles to the right slot to set his angle, because a drive from the top into a single gap needs the wing to move first, and the move is cued by the dribble.
1 drives the right gap: 3 shakes up out of the wing to the right slot to stay in his vision, 5 drifts deeper in the corner, and 4 lifts to the left wing, because the four players without the ball open the lane the driver needs.
The read on the weak side: X2 turns his head to help on the drive, so 2 makes the 45 cut to the rim behind him, because a helper who looks at the ball has lost the cutter, and 4 fills behind to the left wing.
The scouted adjustment: help comes from the top, X3 stunting down from the slot at the drive, so the lane is walled; counter: 1 kicks up to 3, the man the stunt left, because the kick-up is the pass for help from above.
Counter continued: 3 drives the gap 1 just emptied while 1 relocates to the right wing and 2 clears from the rim to the left corner, because the second drive meets a defense that is still recovering from the first.
X5 steps in from the corner to stop 3, so the kick goes to 5, because the corner shooter whose defender helps is the best shot on the floor.
X5 closes long, so 5 makes one more pass to 1 at the wing and 3 fills the top, because the extra pass finds the man the rotation has not reached.
1 shoots the wing three; the drive, the kick-up, the kick, and one more each cost a defender a step, which is why the reactions are drilled before the drive.
