1 looks at 2 on the left wing and X2 is in the passing lane denying; the read is made, because a denied player whose passer is looking at him back cuts immediately, never with a hesitation.
2 V-cuts one step to the ball to set X2 up, plants the outside foot, and sprints to the rim, because the lane is empty and the pass is thrown to his outside hand.
The scouted adjustment: X2 lets go of the denial and sags into the lane to meet the cut, so the bounce pass is gone; counter: 2 pops straight back out to the wing, because an underplay is a pop by rule and the defender who sagged has to close out.
1 passes to 2 at the wing, because the sag gave the pass back; 2 catches squared to the rim so the closeout has something to fear.
1 basket cuts and fills the far corner, 3 fills the top, and 5 fills the right wing, because the passer never stands and the spots refill themselves; X2 closes out short to protect against the drive.
Counter continued: X2's closeout is short, so 2 drives the gap he was given; 3 rotates to the right slot and X4 steps in from the corner to stop the ball, because help in 5-out can only come from a shooter.
2 kicks to 4 in the left corner, the shooter X4 left, because the drive drew the help and the pass goes to the man whose defender moved.
4 shoots the corner three; the denial became a back cut, the sag became a pop, and the short closeout became a drive and kick, which is why the wing reads his own man on every catch.
