THE SCREEN AND OPTIONS (III)

Good evening!

Today we are going to finish "The screen and options". On the previous post we talk about the principals characterisc of the screen, and the types of "Off-the-ball screens". Now we show you...

ON-THE-BALL SCREENS

SIDE SCREEN

On-the-ball screens, the players on the weak side are on a triangle, and the post player always ducks in. If there is an “ice situation”, where the dribbler is forced to the baseline, the post comes to the strong side corner of the free-throw lane.

• If the defense follows the player who received the screen, this player turns the corner, and the screener rolls to the basket.

Diag 1. Side Screen I. (By FIBA).

• If the defense goes under, the player with the ball stops and takes a jump shot. 
• If the defender follows and traps with the screener’s defender, the player with the ball takes two dribbles away and finds the open teammate:- the screener, who rolls, or the teammate whose defender has gone to help on the roll of the screener. 

Diag 2. Side Screen II. (By FIBA).

• If the screener’s defender appears, but doesn’t appear ready to play hard defense, the player with the ball splits in between. 
• If the defense cheats, the player drives to the baseline. 
• If the defense forces him to the baseline- what we call an “ice situation”- the dribbler can drive to the middle for a jump shot or pass to the screener, who rolls to the basket. He can also pass to the player, who has flashed up from the low post to the corner of the free-throw lane.

TOP SCREEN

• If the defense follows, the player turns the corner. 

Diag 4. Top Screen.

• If the defense goes under the screen, the player stops and takes a jump shot. 
• If the defense forces the player with the ball outside, he passes to the screener, who rolls. 

That's all! Hope all this information help you to know more about the screen and to learn and teach this drill to your players.
