4 runs in front of 1, trying to get in the way of 1's defender. This works best if both are going hard. 1's first look is for penetration to the rim or kick out to 3 if defender helps. If 1 kicks out to 3. 4 continues down to screen for 5. They use screening action rules (one to ball one to basket). Here 5 curls to block and 4 pops back to the ball. 4 catches at top of key and has the option of passing to the strong side or the weakside (may also look high - low). Here 4 passes to the strong side and screens "down" for 2. On all "down" actions the wing has three choices: a) curl b) back cut c) post. Here 4 passes to the weakside and screens away. Once again we have the rules that cover screening: one to the ball and one to the basket. See More

Today's FastDraw Play of the Day takes you to Eurobasket 2011 in Lithuania, for a look at the defensive side of the ball. In Second Round action today, France needed a defensive stop against Turkey to seal the victory. Turkey had the ball out of bounds, down 3 points, with 5 seconds to play in the game, but failed to inbound the ball within the 5-second time limit to do so, and France hung on to win the game. Every coach at one time or another is in a position where their team needs to force a 5-second call to have a chance to win the game. Usually, it occurs when trailing, and rarely does the team pull it off under pressure. In this case France used it to clinch victory in a game they were leading. The video below show you exactly how this play described above unfolded and allowed France to walk away with a Eurobasket victory: See More
