The Chin picture: a two-guard front with 5 already high at the left elbow. 1 passes guard to guard to 2, because Chin always begins with the reversal and the reversal is what sets the timing of the chin cut.
2 passes to 4 on the right wing. The cue for the post is the ball leaving 2's hands, not the catch, because the screen has to be set while X1 is still watching the ball travel.
5 steps up from the elbow and back screens X1 at the left elbow, because a back screen set on a defender who has turned to the ball cannot be seen coming.
1 chin cuts off the back side of the screen to the far side of the rim, hands ready, because the read is X1 going ball side of the screen; a defender on that side has no way to the lob but through the screener.
The scouted adjustment: X5 leaves the screener and drops to the rim to take the chin cutter, so 4 holds the pass. 1 finishes his cut and clears through to the left corner, and 5 moves across to the ball-side elbow, because the drop just freed the screener to screen again.
5 sets the drift screen on X2 with his back to the top of the key, because the angle is what sends 2 to the top instead of the wing and makes the under and the over two different problems for X2.
Counter: 2 goes to the level of the screen and X2 ducks under it to protect the lane, so 2 fades to the top, because the rule on the drift is read your man: under means fade, over means curl.
Counter finished: 4 skips the ball to 2 at the top as X2 fights back out through the screen, because the pass is thrown while the defender is still behind the screener.
2 shoots the open three from the top; the reversal, the chin cut, and the drift screen gave the defense two things to drop for, and dropping for both is what opened the shot, which is why Chin runs until one of them is late.
