As 1 starts to come off 5's ballscreen, 3 replaces to the three point line. As this is happening, 2 sets a flex for 4.

5 continues the downscreen flex continuity. The first looks is the 4 man for the iso or 2 coming off the screen-the-screener action for the 3. If 2 is open, he bombs. 5 is in perfect position for offensive glass. **If the 4 man catches, the 3 sprints to the corner and the 2 spaces to the wing.

The second counter is a Dirk specific option, made for a shooting or Euro style 4. 1 and 2 set a stagger for 4. After his downscreen, 1 gets a flex screen from 5 and cuts corner. 2 spaces corner, and 5 posts momentarily, before spacing. **The Mavericks had Terry set pin-downs for Dirk regularly that isolated those two. This is an example of an action within an action

The first look is for 4 on the 3, but 1 can be open on the baseline flex. 1 has to make a quick read, if he isn't open he sprints corner for the 3. On the catch 4 looks to bomb, but he has a quick look to 5 on the post.

If none of these options are open, 4 can dribble in, or set pick and roll with 2.
