Against the 2-3 the five spots stay the same, because the wings sit in the gaps between the top and bottom defenders; 1 passes to 3 on the right wing to stretch the zone.
2 flashes from the opposite wing into the high post and 1 slides to the left wing to fill behind him, because the zone has nobody assigned to the free throw line and the pass there is open more often than it should be.
3 passes to 2 in the high post, because the flash arrived while the two top defenders were turned to the ball and the low middle defender was watching an empty block.
The read on the catch: the scouted zone matches up, X2 dropping onto 2 from the top and X5 staying home instead of stepping up, so the turnaround is contested; 3 relocates to the right slot after his pass, because the passer in 5-out never stands.
Counter: 2 swings the ball out of the high post to 4 in the left corner, the pass the matched-up zone leaves, because the top defender who dropped inside can't recover to the corner.
Counter continued: 2 cuts underneath to the left block as X3 steps out to the corner, because the bottom defender who takes the corner leaves the block to nobody.
4 feeds 2 on the block under the zone, because the pass is short and the only defender who could help is the low middle man guarding a cutter already past him.
2 finishes the layup; a wing pass, a flash, a swing, and a cut underneath beat the zone with no post on the floor, which is why the five spots never change.
