Flare Skip vs 2-3

When the ball goes to the wing, the far top defender of a 2-3 sinks into the middle to guard the high post, and he is the one who has to close out on a skip. A flare screen on him from the inside pins him there, the weak-side shooter fades to the wing and the skip pass beats everybody.

Also called: zone flare, flare screen the zone, skip pass three vs 2-3
