Pearl Counter step 1
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. This time, the 5 is NOT open at the high post. This denial keys a SPIN DRIBBLE by the 1 near the top of the key. This SPIN keys the PEARL COUNTER set.
Pearl Counter step 2
Step 2The 3 will cut hard backdoor for the pass from 1 for the layup. If the cut is not open, the 3 will reverse pivot into the post. The 2 will fill the wing position as the 5 follows the 1 across the lane into a new high post position. The 5 sets a flare screen for the 1 as the 3 posts hard. The 1 passes to the 2 on the wing and we now have the POST/FLARE Options.
