The open phase: 5 has stepped out to the top after a curled drift, 1 and 2 are the wings, 3 and 4 the corners. 5 dribbles at 2 on the right wing and 2 stands still, because the receiver of a dribble-at waits for the first bounce and the post dribbles at the baseline cheek of the defender.
2 back cuts to the rim and 4 lifts off the baseline to the right wing; the read is X2 overplaying the wing, because an overplayed wing dribbled at back cuts and the corner behind him fills his spot.
X2 stays with the cut, so 5 passes to 4 lifting on the wing, because the lift is the second half of the dribble-at and the pass is there the moment the cutter has pulled his man to the rim.
2 stops and posts up on the right block with X2 behind him, because a back cutter who is not fed looks to post before he clears, and the lane is empty in the open phase.
5 screens across for 1, the weak-side wing, because the post's rule after the pass in the open phase is to screen across at once, and a big screening for a guard asks the defense to switch.
1 comes off the cross screen to the top, and the scouted defense switches it: X5 jumps out to 1 and X1 stays down on 5. The read is the switch, because the smaller defender is now on the post's back.
Counter: 5 seals X1 on his hip and dives to the rim, because the switch on a big screening for a guard is the mismatch the open phase is built to find and the seal is set the instant the switch is called.
Counter finished: 4 feeds 5 diving with X1 sealed behind him, because the wing has the angle into the lane and the help would have to come from 2's man on the block.
5 finishes at the rim; a dribble-at, a lift, a cross screen, and a seal turned a switch into a layup, which is why the post steps out to the top in the first place.
