Instead of setting a trap, we stay tight in the zone making passes difficult.

• 1 (Chaser) defends the ball and tries to keep it on the same side of the floor - making reversal passes difficult
• 3 is denying the pass to the corner
• 5 (Center) covers the high post
• 2 (Left Wing) helps defending the rim and is ready to pick off passes to the weak side corner

• 1 (Chaser) runs to the ball and tries to deny the ball reversal back
• 2 (Left Wing) rotates from helping inside to getting back to their spot on the wing (they want to make the swing pass to 3 difficult)
• 4 (Warrior) runs the baseline and rotates for extra help
• 3 (Right Wing) drops diagonally to protect the rim and a pass over the top
• 5 (Center) covers the high post

• 2 swings the ball to the corner
• 5 cuts to low block
• 4 fills the high post

Defending the Ball in the Corner:

• 4 (Warrior) takes the ball and prevents it from being driven baseline
• 2 (Left Wing) drops for extra help
• 5 (Center) rotates from the high post to the low post
• 1 (Chaser) rotates from the top to defend the high post
• 3 (Right Wing) reads the best spot for them to be based on where the offense is - this could be rim protection, defending the skip, or providing extra help in the high post

The main goal is to deny the ball to be thrown or dribbled into the zone. The pass back to the top of the key remains open.
