Triangle-and-Two Screen the Screener

A triangle-and-two sends two chasers after your two shooters and zones the rest, so make the two shooters screen for each other. One shooter cross-screens for the other on the baseline, then a big down-screens the screener, and his chaser is caught behind two bodies while the triangle stays home in the paint.

    2Phase 2

    Screen the screener: 4 drops from the left elbow onto 3’s chaser the moment 3 has set his screen, and 3 comes up off it to the top of the key. Both chasers were busy with the first screen, so nobody is there.

    • 4 screens for 3
    • 3 cuts
    • 1 passes to 3
    • 1 passes to 2option
