THE SCREEN AND OPTIONS (II)

Good Saturday!

As we told you few days ago, today we continue with the screen and options to do it. 

Here are the screens off the ball, where the two players implicated on a screen don't have the posession of the ball. There are different types, and we explain what the offensive have to do in reference of what the defender do.

1. SCREENS OFF-THE-BALL

BACK SCREEN

• If the defender stays on the screen, the player, who received the screen, cuts in the lane and receives a lob pass.

• If the player with the ball cannot pass directly to the player, who cuts off the screen, the screener then pops out, receives the ball, and passes to the player, who has now posted up.

• If the defense goes low, he cuts over the top / If the defense goes high, he cuts low.
