2 has the ball at the wing. 5 steps across the lane to set the flex screen on the lane line, feet set and wide, because a screener who is still moving when the cutter arrives gives the defense a foul call instead of a cut.
3 reads his defender, goes under the screen along the baseline, and cuts hard to the ball-side block; 2 looks inside to him first, because the flex cut is the first option and skipping the look teaches the cutter to coast.
As 3 clears, 1 sprints down from the slot to screen the screener, setting the down screen on 5 at the lane line; the timing is the drill, which is why 1 waits for 3 to clear and not a count sooner.
5 curls off 1's down screen up to the elbow with his eyes on the ball the whole way, because a screener who fades instead of coming to the elbow turns an open jumper into a long contested one.
2 passes to 5 at the elbow and 1 fills the corner after screening, because the second screener clearing to the corner every time is what keeps the next side of the continuity open.
5 shoots the elbow jumper; then the four rotate 1 to 5 to 3 to 2, because every player needs to screen, cut, and shoot the action in the same minute.
