About This Play/Drill

This play off of Zipper action is designed to get a backdoor for #5 off of a ball screen set by him.  We can also kick the ball to the perimeter for an open three-point shot.

  • Basketball Play - 3 Short

Frame 1
#1 dribbles to the wing on the same side as #'s 3 and 4. #3 will cut from the corner to the low post on his side and post up for a possible post feed.


Frame 2
If #3 does not get the ball after posting up for a count of two, #4 will come halfway to him and set a down screen. #1 can pass to #3 at the top of the key or to #4 slipping to the low post for a possible post feed.


Frame 3
#3 comes off of a ball screen set by #5. While this is happening, #4 flashes to the elbow that was occupied by #5 at the start of the play.


Frame 4
#3 comes off of the pick and roll and passes to #4. #4 can then hit #5 going to the basket on the backdoor or kick the ball out to #1 for a jump shot.
