Quick Hitter Play Against the 1-3-1 Zone
This is a great play that will get you an easy lay up against a traditional 1-3-1 zone. As long as the bottom player of the 1-3-1 zone covers the corner, this play should be very effective.
Instructions
- The play starts with:
1 on one side of the court with the ball.
2 in the corner on the same side as 1.
3 on the opposite block.
4 on the ball-side block.
5 on the opposite elbow area.
- The play is initiated by 2 and 3 crossing underneath each other.
- 1 passes to 3 in the corner.
|
|
|
- As the pass occurs...
4 goes up the lane and seals Defensive Player 5 by posting up.
2 sets a screen on Defensive Player 3.
5 curls around the screen and goes to the hoop.
As soon as 5 clears the screen, 2 needs to get out of the lane to avoid a 3-second violation.
|
|
|
- 3 passes the ball to 5 for an easy lay up.
This is a simple play, but timing is crucial for this play to work.

What if defensive player 2 decides to cover down to the corner so defensive player 4 can stay in the key?

Good question. This play is designed for the 131 defense that has the bottom player (Player 4 in the diagrams above) cover the corner.
If that does not happen, this play can be ineffective.

if defender 2 does decide to cover the corner and defender 4 thus stays in the key. Then offender 1 must be guarded by defender 5, otherwise offender 1 will have an open shot around the arc. Thus providing more space for offender 4 to post up around the midPost. As a result it should be possible for offender 3 to feed him the ball. If that happens, defender 4 must choose for offender 4 on the midpost or stay center to cover offender 2. The key is to get the ball at midpost, it will create a 2 on 1 for defender 4.
What do you guys think? Perhaps I overlooked something..

it wont hurt, if offensive player 4 or 5 is a decent close range shooter.. that way,if defender 2 does go to the corner, offender 5 shall not go to the hoop but to screen defender 2 if he''s blocked off by defender 4, offender 4 sets up the screen,pick and roll, leaving him open for a quick lay up or drop to player 5, in case defensive player 1 drops down, under the hoop.then offensive player 5 now takes a quick shot.. either ways, there is now some one to collect the rebound, if the need arises..

is it not the variation of 1-3-1 is 1-1-3 just incase offence try to breake the set deffence. like deffender 1 should
stay along tha arc of the 3 point line. defender 2 slide to the corner to defend offender 3 who should be receiving the ball and deffender 5 slide on the opposite corner to help.and deffender 3 stays on the 15 footline and that case no offence player is free for a shot.if ever offender 4 post up in the mid post deffender 4 is just near besides to guard him. I think offence will wave the ball then reset again a new plan.
guys what do you think am just amateur for this...try to figure out what am trying to say
