Ball Screen Plays by Adam Short
The Grizzlies are in the middle of a 3 game road trip. The Grizzlies were able to beat a tough Redland team on Tuesday and get ready to face Eastern Oklahoma tomorrow at 3 pm. We finish up our road test at Cowley College on Tuesday. That is a very personal game for myself. The two plays I am posting are both ball screen plays. The first one is titled “Gonzaga” because Gonzaga run this play successfully against SMU last week. 3 will start in the left corner and will cut to the right wing. 1 will dribble over to the left wing. 4 and 5 will set a baseline screen for 2; 2 will come off those screens and will cut up lane line extended to the three point line. 1 will hit 2. 4 will sprint to the right corner. 5 will come up and set a ball screen for 2. 5 will roll hard to the basket. 1 will pop up. 2 is reading X1. IF X1 comes up with 1, 5 will be home for a layup. IF X1 pulls over and takes 5, 1 will be open for a shot. The next play I titled D.C. because I saw the Wizards run this play against the Cavs. 1 will dribble over to the left wing. 5 will start on the left elbow and 2 will be at the free throw line. 5 will screen for 2, 2 will cut to the left block. 5 will then screen for 1 and will roll to the basket. 2 will pop up to the wing as 5 is rolling. 1 is reading X2. IF X2 comes up with 2, 5 will be open. IF X2 pulls over with 5, 2 will be open for a shot! I think that you will enjoy these two ball screen plays.
