"Slingshot" is a ball screen concept to take advantage of switching defenses when a big gets matched up with a guard. After the switch, the ball handler retreats to create space between the defender then attack down hill. If the defender backs up, then the ball handler shoots the ball. If the defender steps up, then the ball handler attacks the basket. Commonly used by the Indiana Pacers with Victor Oladipo to take advantage of his downhill speed and outside shooting ability.

Quick Hitter from BCZK Iverson Formation. It works better when 2 is the best shooter in the team, so defense can not cheat and go under 5-2 screen. FMS Blog: Zalgiris Kaunas - ATO/EOG Series See More

Possibly the longest set in BCZK playbbok, witha Rip Screen, Thunder Screen, Euro Flow and Spain PNR in one set. Great action from head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius to challenge the defense, and his players execute it very well. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

Diamond set into side ball screen Spain PNR from BCZK. Succesfully running Side Spain PNRs the entire season, this play was deadly for Zalgiris because of the Swing action which forces all five defenders be active in defense the whole 24 seconds of the shot clock.

This set looks like a classic Spain PNR in stack position, but this set starts from Horns formation. And now the defense cannot switch between smalls, as is common with many European teams to defend Spain PNR (when x3 takes 1 driving, and x1 takes 3 popping to 3pt line). Here x3 must guard 5 at elbow and cannot help on 1 driving to the basket. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

An interesting counter to BCZK's original Iverson Guard Post Series. In this set, instead of receiving the ball in the post, 1 uses 2's pindown screen right into a DHO with 5. This action is extremely difficult for x1 to defend and puts pressure on the entire defense to help out, opening up several options. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Iverson Series See More

From Euroleage team Zalgiris Kaunas. Effective play for a point guard who can shoot from coming off screens. Shake action occurs when ball screener continues and sets a screen for a shooter, and ball handler throws back to the shooter after dragging the defense.

Toronto Raptors set vs Washington Wizards in 2018 NBA Playoffs. Play is designed to get DeMar DeRozan downhill on the weak side off the court. Play starts with 4 and 5 setting singles to get the 3 and 2 (DeRozan) open. 1 performs DHO with 3 and the ball is swung to 2 coming off a single down screen. 5 runs into a high step up ball screen. 2 has one side of the court to attack downhill and read the defense for drive, drop off or kickout.

Coach Sarunas Jasikevicius of Zalgiris Kaunas likes to camouflage Spain PNR action by starting with a diamond set, misleading the defense to believe it's a choice set for a guard. The back screen is set by a good shooter, so if his defender commits to 5's roll, he'll have an open shot. Great play to use in late game situations or for a surprise score.

The Washington Wizards heavily depend on high ball screens to buoy their offense. Scott Brooks leverages having two dynamic ball handlers by positioning them at opposite sides of the floor - ready to attack a shifting defense before penetrating into the lane. This action moves the defense from east-west before moving it north-south. See More

This 4 out, 1 in motion style offense is not a patterned or continuity style offense, but rather a set of rules designed to give players the ability to read and react to the defense. This offense is easy to learn yet hard to perfect. It's also very hard to scout and prepare for once fully implemented, due to its read and react nature. It is best used by teams that are guard heavy, but can be adjusted to fit any type of lineup. Jr. Wizards Coaches Manual See More

The Washington Wizards use Zipper action to initiate much of their SLOB plays. Scott Brooks used this play in Game 1 of the first round vs the Toronto Raptors to force Bradley Beal's defender to trail over the top of the screen so he could attack the defense downhill. This play was used two times in the game and both led to a score. See More

The Washington Wizards have incorporated both Motion Weak and Strong sets into their playbook to reduce the monotony of a guard-oriented, pick and roll heavy offensive attack. Scott Brooks will use this action for Motion Weak as well (ball reversal with shallow cut from guard to weak side). The Wizards are not strict as to what option they will go to out of this set, as they will take what the defense gives them throughout the Motion Flex sequence. See More
