X5
Two-guard front with 5 on the left block, ball side of 1. 1 passes to 3 on the left wing, because the Low phase begins with the wing pass that puts the ball a step from the post.
1 cuts through to the right corner and 2 fills the top, because the passer in a two-guard front cuts through on the wing pass and the other guard becomes the one-guard front above the post.
3 feeds 5 on the block, because Low is the phase for a post who can score, and the feed is thrown before X5 can front.
3 cuts to the left elbow and screens for 2, the split, because of the three things the passer can do after a post feed the elbow screen is the one that gives the post two cutters to choose from. 2 reads X2: loose means accept to the wing, over the top means reject to the rim, trailing means curl.
2 accepts the screen and cuts to the left wing for the jumper. The scouted adjustment: X2 and X3 switch the split, X3 taking 2 to the wing and X2 staying on the screener, because the switch is how a drilled defense handles two cutters crossing.
Counter: 3 slips the screen to the front of the rim the moment he feels the switch, because X2 switched from above the screen and is now behind him with nobody between 3 and the basket.
Counter finished: 5 turns and passes to 3 at the rim, because the post on the block is a passer first in this offense and the slip is the pass he is always looking for.
3 finishes the layup; the wing pass, the post feed, and the split beat the switch with the screener instead of the cutter, which is why the split is read by both players, not just the one coming off it.
