Step 1The 2 is waved through and cuts through the elbow as the 5 cuts to the opposite block and gets position at the elbow. The 2 cuts in a way that sets a kind of "brush screen" to get 5 open at the elbow. As the 2 cuts through the elbow, the 4 drops to the corner to protect from a blindside steal. As a set play call or a counter to overplay on the 2 in the CHIN, the WAVE series has 3 options: (Away, Over, Under)Step 24 sets up the backcut by moving in the directio fo 1 before cutting backdoor looking for the pass by 5 for the lay-up.Step 31 pops back out for the pass from 5. 1 must not be in the corner on the catch. If denied, 1 will go backdoor for the layup. 4 finishes the cut to the rim. 3 moves above the weakside elbow to set a screen for 4 AND to see how the dfense is going to play the side pick and roll between 1 and 5.Step 43 sets a down screen for 4 cutting to the tops. 1 attacks off the ball screen and 5 rolls to the basket for the pass from 1. The first option for the 1 is a layup, the second option is for 5 rolling to the hooop, the third option is to pass 4 near the top of the keyStep 5At any point as 5 is moving to set the side ball screen, if the defender on 1 (X1) plays too high anticipating the ball screen, 1 may drive the baseline for the layup. KEY: It is a good idea to at least set the defense up with a hard dribble baseline before corssing over into the ball screen by 5. Do not do this every time, but it is a tactic to prevent the defense from becoming comfortable.Step 6SIDE PICK AND ROLL OPTION: POST 4 The 1 dribbles off the side screen by the 5 to the top of the key. The 5 screen then pops back into a position on the wing. After the backcut by the 4, the 4 reverse pivots into a strong post position looking for the ball from the 5.Step 7SIDE PICK AND ROLL OPTION: POST 5 The 1 dribbles off the side screen by the 5 to the top of the key. The 5 screens then pops back into a position on the wing. After the backcut by the 4, the 4 moves to the wing position to set a backscreen for the 5 cutting into the post. Depending on the timing of the screen, the 1 can look for the 5 diving to the rim after the backscreen or the 1 can pass to the 4 after the backscreen.Step 8If the ball is passed to the 4, the 4 will look to enter the ball into the post. Once the ball is in the post, we have our LOW POST options.
