Attack with hard-to-defend actions with emphasis on execution.
Develop your catalog of "Hard to Defend" actions:
- Elite dribble penetrators
- Urgent cutting (give-and-go, back cuts)
- Pick-and-roll
- Complex screening (Iverson, Spain PnR, Corner rip, Flex)
- Multiple actions forcing long closeouts
Let's focus on give-and-go actions. Many teams run spread offense... with calls like "Open" or "Five-O" or "Fifty."
Rule 1. "Set up your cut."
Rule 2. "Cut urgently."
Rule 3. There isn't one pass that gets every job done.
Having a great passer helps.
353. Clear an area to displace defensive help.
Iso 53. Attack from different areas of the court...such as the corner.
Modify the give-and-go by using a roller as the 'go'.
Lagniappe. Attack off the catch is a trend - split, stampede, shake.
