NOTE: This should be used sparingly and as a surprise tactic. It should also be used only right when the ball crosses half court.

As soon as the ball crosses half court, the zone defense "blitzes".

• 1 and 2 try to contain the ball in the middle of the floor with a trap
• 3 and 4 cheat up to take the wings
• 5 reads a deep pass between 4 and 5
