1 v-cuts: two hard steps toward the baseline, then back toward the sideline, catching above the block, because 3 takes the ball out of the net fast and the diamond is weakest before it sets.
3 inbounds to the corner. 1 catches facing up court and reads two defenders coming: that is the trap, so he looks middle first, then sideline, and never dribbles into the corner where the lines help them.
The trap closes and the outlets fill at the same time: 3 steps in on the weak lane line, 4 flashes from half court to the middle, because the weak-side wing just left it to become an interceptor, and 2 holds the ball-side sideline.
The primary release is the pass back to 3 stepping in, because the inbounder's defender is now a trapper and nobody is on 3; the diamond concedes this pass every time, and it is the one that starts to beat it.
3 attacks with the left-hand dribble up the open side; the scouted press answers with 'red denial': X2 abandons the middle to stop the dribble and X4 chases. The read is X2 leaving the middle, which is why 4 is already standing there.
Counter: 3 hits 4 in the middle the moment X2 leaves it, because the press is a man short there; 4 catches, pivots, and faces the frontcourt while 2 runs the sideline past half court.
Counter completed: 4 throws ahead to 2 up the sideline, past the middle man, so the ball crosses half court with X5 alone against two runners; 5 slides to the far block to give X5 someone else to worry about.
2 attacks the wing three on two; X5 has to stop the ball because nobody else is back yet, which is why 5 is already sealed at the far block.
X5 commits, so 2 passes to 5 at the block, because a goalie can't guard the ball and the rim at once.
5 finishes the layup; the press gave up the step-in pass because it had to, and the step-in gave up the layup.
