Standard setup when the ball is on the wing

• 4 (Warrior) closes out to the ball and makes sure to not get beaten baseline
• 3 (Right Wing) closes out with high hands to set a hard trap
• 5 (Center) moves from the high post to cover the block
• 1 (Chaser) moves from the top corner to the high post
• 2 (Left Wing) protects the backside of the rim and floor in general.

• 3 (Right Wing) and 4 (Warrior) put pressure on the ball without fouling. They keep the hands high and pressure with the lower body.
• We try to force a weak lob pass that we can pick off.

• 2 (Left Wing) will sprint out to defend a baseline drive on 3
• 1 (Chaser) and 5 (Center) move to the same position on the strong side

• 4 (Warrior) sprints along the baseline and bumps 2 (Left Wing) back to their normal position
• 3 (Right Wing) drops down to the low block to defend the weak side

The skip pass to the wing is a very dangerous pass to a 1-3-1 zone defense. As it can lead to a quick pass to the corner for an open 3.

• 1 (Chaser) closes out to the ball
• 2 (Left Wing) takes away the quick pass to the 3 in the corner and then comes to double the 2
• 4 (Warrior) sprints baseline to defend the pass to the 3

We are back in our standard positioning with the ball on the wing

Since we are playing the passing lanes in the 1-3-1 zone, sometimes there are gaps that the offense can attack with a dribble

• 5 (Center) steps out with high hands to effectively triple team the attacking player and making it hard on them to find a pass
• 4 (Warrior) and 3 (Right Wing) drop towards the basket to prevent easy passes for a layup
