Zone Offense

There are many different ways to play against zones. I'll show you some of them.

On today's video, we see how the team playing the offense, break the defense with an overload and two off the ball screens. The defense can't stop the cutter and they have no players to fix the zone.

It's a quick offense, that creates an easy shot for the shooter. To mix two good weapons against the zone is a good idea, and makes offense hard to stop. Off the ball screens, overload, and a good shooter is all you need to run this play.

Three passes, and the shot should be there. In case the defense adjusts and can avoid 3's shot, then 2 will pop to the corner and will have a good shot option too. Also, 4 will cut to the basket and he'll be ready to receive the pass to play along with 5 against the defenders.



Let's watch it.
