The stack: 1 at the top with the ball, 5 at the free-throw line, 2 the shooter stacked behind him at the dotted circle, 3 and 4 in the corners. Why the stack: the back screener has to be behind the roller's defender before the roll, and the stack puts him there before the defense can read it.
5 steps up and sets the ball screen on X1, screening toward the left. Why the screen goes left: the point attacks the side the stack is not on, so the roll and the back screen meet in the middle of the lane.
1 comes off the screen downhill toward the left elbow and 5 begins his roll; X5 drops toward the rim. The read is X5: in drop. Why the drop is the read: a dropped big is standing exactly where the back screen is about to land.
2 steps up out of the stack and back-screens X5 at the free-throw line as 5 rolls past him. Why the back screen hits: X5 is backing toward the rim watching the ball, and a screen on a dropping defender's back is one he never sees.
5 rolls off the back screen to the rim with X5 stuck behind 2, and 2 pops to the top of the key as X2 stays with him. Why both at once: the point now has a roller nobody is guarding and a shooter whose defender has to choose.
1 throws the lob to 5 at the rim over the screened X5. Why the lob: the dropping big is behind the back screen and the low man is on the corner shooter, so the rim is empty.
5 catches and finishes. Score. Why Spain beats drop: the coverage's whole plan is a big waiting at the rim, and the back screen removes him.
Next trip, the adjustment: the defense switches the back screen, X2 jumping onto the roller as 2 screens and X5 staying with 2 on the pop. Reset to the stack with 1 at the top. Why the switch: it is the only way to have a defender on the roller after the back screen, and it puts a guard on him.
1 brings the ball back to the top and the stack is rebuilt with X2 already a step higher, ready to switch the back screen. Why the defense shows it: a defender who intends to switch onto the roller starts closer to the roller's path.
5 screens and 1 comes off toward the left elbow; as 5 rolls, X2 cheats up early toward the roller to switch the back screen before it is set. The read for the counter: X2 has left 2 before 2 has screened. Why the read is early: a switching defender has to be at the roller before the screen lands.
1 drives off the screen and 5 rolls; X2 jumps onto 5 and X5 shades to 2 in the stack. Why the defense shows it here: the switch has to happen on the roll, before the back screen, or it is late.
The counter: 2 leaks out of the stack to the right wing instead of screening, and 5 keeps rolling with the smaller X2 on his back. Why the leak: Half Court Hoops' Spain counter is that the back screener leaks and clears, because the defender who switched onto the roller is a guard, and the one who stayed is a big guarding a shooter on the move.
1 throws the lob to 5 over the smaller X2. Why the lob again: the switch put a guard under the rim with a big rolling at him, and a lob over a guard is a layup.
5 finishes over the guard. Score. Why Spain has an answer to the switch: the switch changes who guards the roller, and the leak makes sure it is the wrong one.
