Box-2 from the right sideline: 3 inbounds, 2 at the ball-side elbow with 1 below him on the block, 4 and 5 on the left elbow and block. The zone sits with X4 on the ball-side forward spot. Why the box: it puts two screeners next to the two defenders who own the wing.
On the slap, 2 steps down and screens the path X2 would take to the wing. Why the first screen is for the decoy: it makes 1's cut up toward the ball look like the play.
1 comes up off 2's screen toward the ball, pulling the play-side top guard up with him and clearing the wing. Why 1 goes up and not out: he is the decoy, and a guard who follows him is a guard who is not on the wing.
4 steps across the lane and screens X4, the play-side forward. Why 4 and not 5: 4 is on the elbow and arrives at the forward from above, where the forward is not looking.
2 curls under off 4's screen to the right wing. The read: X2 followed 1 up and X4 is screened, so the wing belongs to 2. Why the forward must be screened: with the guard gone, the forward is the last defender who can take the wing.
3 inbounds to 2 on the wing and 2 shoots the open three. Score. Why the shot is there: the guard went up with the decoy and the forward is behind 4.
2 shoots. Score. Why a sideline play against a zone is worth drilling: the zone's rules say the forward takes the wing, and this play screens the rule.
Next trip, the adjustment: the first option has been scouted, so X4 ignores 4's screen and sits on 2's curl, and X2 stays home instead of following 1. Reset in the box with 3 inbounding. Why the zone does this: it is guarding the play it saw, not the rule.
1 passes the ball to 3 out of bounds to restart the play, and X4 sets up higher, already shading toward the curl he saw. Why the zone shows it: a forward who intends to sit on the curl has to start closer to it.
1 drops to the ball-side block to reset the box. Why the box is rebuilt exactly: the counter needs the defense to recognize the play it scouted.
The counter begins the same way: 1 comes up to the free-throw line and 2 curls under toward the wing, with X4 chasing 2 this time. Why run it the same: the defense has to commit to the scouted picture before the change.
Here is the counter: 1 turns from the free-throw line and follows 2 along the baseline, and 2 clears the baseline for him by continuing up the sideline. X4 is on 2, X5 is on the block. Why 1 gets the baseline: the forward who chased the shooter has taken himself out of the corner.
3 inbounds to 1 in the corner behind the forward; 4 seals X5 on the block. Why the pass is safe: the only defender near the corner is chasing a player who is no longer there.
1 attacks the baseline and 4 holds his seal; X5 steps to the ball, so 1 passes to 4 under the rim. Why the pass: a middle who steps to a baseline drive has left the block, and the sealed post is already there.
4 scores at the rim. Score. Why the counter is in the same play: a scouted zone guards what it saw, and the baseline follow is the part it never saw.
