1 at the top against four-out with 5 on the left block. X1 on the ball, the wings in the gap, X4 on the help line, X5 behind 5. Why the help-the-helper rule is taught after help: a defense that helps without the second rotation concedes the dump-off layup every time.
1 passes to 2 on the right wing. X2 closes out, X1 drops to the gap, X4 to the gap on the corner, X3 to the help line, X5 shades to help from behind 5. Why X3 is in the lane: he is two passes away, and from there he can reach the block in one step.
2 passes to 4 in the corner. X4 closes out with no baseline, X2 drops to the gap, X5 and X3 hold their help spots. Why the corner is where the drive will come from: the baseline is the only drive out of a corner, and the defense is already set for it.
4 drives the baseline. X4 rides him, X5 leaves 5 and walls off the drive at the block, and X3 drops from the help line to take 5. Help the helper. Why X3 goes to 5 and not to the ball: the ball already has two defenders; 5 is alone on the block, and a pass to him is the one the defense will not concede.
4 picks up against the wall and skips the ball out to 3, the man X3 left, while 4 heads back to the corner. X3 sprints back and closes out, X5 recovers to 5, the rest recover. Why the defense chose to concede this pass: it is a long skip from a dead ball, and the closeout arrives with it; the layup it would have conceded instead never happened.
3 swings it to 1 at the top while 4 relocates to the corner. X1 closes out, X3 drops into the gap, X5 shades back behind 5. Why the swing is harmless: the help and the second rotation have both recovered, and the defense is whole again.
1 passes to 2 on the right wing. X2 closes out, X1 to the gap, X3 to the help line. Why the same picture as the first pass: the defense is a set of rules, and the rules put everyone back where they started.
2 drives the baseline. X2 rides him, X5 steps across to wall him off outside the block, and X3 drops to take 5 again. Why the rotation is the same from the wing as from the corner: the drive ends at the same place, the block, and the same two men are nearest to it.
2 picks up and kicks it back to 1 at the top. X1 closes out, X5 recovers to 5, X3 sprints back toward 3. Why the kick went to the top and not to 3: the skip was the pass last time, and the defense had already shown it could cover it; the defense is forcing the offense to pick the longer pass each time.
1 passes to 3 on the left wing while 2 relocates to the wing. X3 closes out, X1 drops to the gap, X5 shades to the high side of 5. Why X3 is there on the catch: he recovered the moment the ball was kicked, which is the half of the rule youth teams forget.
3 holds the ball with X3 on him, 5 covered, and the clock gone. Contained. Why two baseline drives produced no layup and no open shot: the first helper stopped the ball, the second helper took the block, and both got back before the next pass became a shot.
