Mario Chalmers' Game Saving Shot Extended

Step 1

The 1 man dribbles the ball hard at the 3.

At the same time your 3 moves toward the 1.

The 2 man drifts away from the ball to create space.

As the 1 gets within arm′s length of the 3, he turns his back to the basket and hands the ball off to the 3.

The 3 man cuts right off the 1, using his teammate as a screen, immediately looking for his shot.

Step 2

Ideally, step one will lead to a made three-pointer but that isn′t always the case. If the defense prevents a quick shot, the play can still continue and lead to an open look for another player.

When the 3 man doesn′t get his shot off, he should move to the foul line, keeping his dribble.

Your 4 man will then set a back pick for the 5, who will cut across the lane and set up on the low block.

At the same time, the 1 will down screen for the 4 who will curl up to the elbow once he has set the screen for the 5.

Step 3

The 3 man now has the ball at the foul line and has 4 options.

He can still look for his shot by pulling up or taking the ball to the basket.

He can pass to the 2 man who has drifted to the right side.

He can dump the ball down to the 5 who has posted up on the right block.

Or he can pass to the 4 man who is curling off a down screen from the 1.
