Four Corners Doos mogu with rebound number eight may have been better with his first jar Grant electing to this is a Hallmark of his game strategy the spread pick and roll in this setup the Four Corners refer to the two actual corners and the two slots near the top of the key the play usually starts with a ball screen in one of these slots by positioning Shooters in these Corners it stretches the defense and makes it incredibly difficult to [Music] stop the only averages 2.7 points a game Jake Co only usually plays 10 minutes a game Corner three no points for bolognia p MOS now in possession looking to get their first lead of the game gregonis with the sweet reverse layup in some cases there's an initial entry action which smoothly transitions the players into the four corner areas from there they execute the spread pick and roll offense showcasing the full potential of adan's Four Corners system [Music] [Music] [Music] Horns Series let's jump into the horns section where we start with one of the most common used actions for Marius gregonis but we saw it running also for guy nun and slcas this is most likely called horns chest 5 and is a play out of the horns formation which is a stagger Zoom action for a shooter the shooter comes off the Stagger receives the handoff from the big man in the opposite slot and then either executes a shot if there's space or adjusts to the defense's reaction in some cases Lort fakes the hand off and attacks the basket to catch the defense off guard B five-point lead trying to build on that quickly into the paint and finishing guy Grant gonis mogu and lur on the floor as guy popping outside popping inside and one one heavily used variation of the horns chest five is the horns two play where the fiveman is on the same side as the shooter such as Lort and gregonis and the fourman receiv the ball pitches it back to the ball handler and then sells a slight fake as if he's going to set the Stagger before quickly cutting to the [Music] basket how this changes the pace with v do in the game and slcas on the bench ronas trying to take over with the floater ronas after a three earlier gets the floater so Vos begin with the first four points of the game jant Grant gonus an excellent three-point shooter and he shows it SC game once again excuse me it's a fourpoint game once again going one of two from the line gonz offload for the nice to Elijah Bryan who's probably the best player of the game so far let alone for FS problem is team Trail by 15 that's 17 lucz open route to the hoop and one this thing down around the 2minute mark Bas is feeling some Rhythm gonus to the hoop up to the sword the sword pushed off to Sender Gus from three Mario unless you're trying to not give up an easy one now [Music] slcas off to gonus gon were supposed to post up down low one more very cool variation is the horns Zoom face cut which I've seen it only used with slcas and juancho on the court sluka starts on the left elbow and juancho waits on the right corner the play starts with an entry pass around the slot and elbow and the ball handler sets an off ball screen to slcas who gets the handoff in parallel juancho makes an aggressive face cut to the basket creating a scoring opportunity opening up their lead to a 14o Point Advantage 41 points with Just 2 minutes gone in the second quarter and panthan ioss have got to be careful that this one doesn't disappear into the distance Rancho n Gomez will take himself to 14 points for the evening Grant got five to play in a one-point game again slcas lovely feed there andan Gomez says next we have the horns into a pitchback pick and roll where we're watching it being run by Costa slcas which leads into a double ball screen where the fourman pops out and the fivan rolls to the [Music] basket Midway through the first quarter just about all square nine points a [Music] piece not for long though after the spread pick and roll Spain Pick & Roll Series the Spain pick and roll is another common action the greens call this fist down they also like to mix it up with the Spain leak called fist down pop where the back screener pops out instead of setting a screen watch closely as the play unfolds slcas calls out fist down lesort sets the ball screen and then gregonis pops out instead of setting the back screen this is a textbook example of the Spain leag [Music] [Music] as you may have noticed before with Lort the ball screener initially faces the Baseline selling a down screen for the guard but then turns to set the ball screen [Music] [Music] in the next executions the back screener actually sets a back screen on the Roller's [Music] Defender the next action we're breaking down is a variation of the Spain pick and roll called by adaman as flash down it starts with the power forward coming off a down screen and receiving the ball which leads into a weave Spain leak action which is two consecutive handoffs into a Spain pick and roll did that well Alid sabonis in particular like a passing wizard out of the low post as vman know that was easy to read nun down the line pulls up and Kendrick nun is so a minute remaining in the first half it's a 15-point lead for the visitors terrific take to the rack by five putting partisan in front Lucas probes into lur and he is a game in the ACB this year and he'll have to pick up his game tonight as [Music] Lucas fand Gomez for three as well he's 29 years of age Ohan his tan but he's become a superstar just this season slas three-point partisan Advantage the to glue to slcas slcas nicely into the sword who next up we have another play called by adaman this time as four down this action starts with a back screen the screener entry where gregonis sets a back screen and then comes off Lort screen receiving the ball to make a handoff to slcas slcas then sets up a Spain pick and roll notice how the power forward comes off the initial back screen moves to the low post area and finally sets the back screen in the Spain pick and roll yet another assist from Chris Jones seventh of the game for Jones game tying the seven of slcas Lucas's turn to respond lur catching it inside faking passes to the perimeter turning around oneon-one kiches seven of the game for the [Applause] visitors rones to Lucas zukas Wheeling his way down the lane again in the open court Keenan Evans and Roland Schmid's on different pages finally we have the ram into Spain pick and roll action this is a clever setup where an off ball screen is set for the player who will eventually set the ball screen leading into a Spain pick and roll in some variations the ram screen is followed by a change of angle just before the ball screen adding an extra lay layer of complexity to the [Music] action as it's really tough to stop there's Lucas between the circles rides The Pick of lur back to lur lur goes right bascone that's seven points give him back to pan at the night was on your home floor sucas pulls up for his first side back to a two-point game really good stuff at the aaka Ron is for [Music] three through quarters two and three B zerovski getting in behind it's a poor foul lead back down to six four minutes in the first half the play Lucas going through the gears going through the defense and he knocks down his second consecutive three and now OAS had a little bit of a roll with a four-point lead what a match we have going here the first quarter vosa kicks it out nice Ball moving and and Gomez hadn't look at it but faked it and now the ball's out to the big man for them they have a two-point lead Lucas makes it Stagger Series far moving on to the Stagger series we start with the thumb down action this play begins with a stagger entry screen designed to free up a guard to initiate a pick and roll from running Changs the league leader in scoring this season 19.4 points per game slas bundling his way to the basket again gones two none 22 points in the game now for Kendrick nun the Deep three none again Bowski good movement Corner three in from one variation of the Stagger series is the pitchback pass where the ball handler passes the ball and immediately gets it back in motion to looking for to three Co slug on the Midway point of the third less than 10 minutes of play ago was a 16-point lead with 2 minutes of the third to play maab with a surge now a surge down the Baseline mid to next we have a stagger entry that flows into a back screen the screener action the player who comes off the Stagger screen moves to the opposite side of the floor while on the same side the power forward comes off the back or cross screen to receive the ball in the low post and no real hurry and why should he be this is Guy into MoGo gets the float next one is a stagger entry into a ram screen with a change of angle watch how Lort sets the ram screen to mea glue to initiate the pick and pop or roll also watch ml's change of angle before the ball screen you can hear it being called Vara by the former NBA player Anderson vaja most likely this play is called one down five or 1 down four depending on which player four or five makes the ball screen the largest lead and it's a perfect play off the back of the timeout and it's just for Lorenzo Brown another for the coach OD kach three-point shot Dozer those two combining straight away Kendrick nun he's played the entirety so far now has the highest usage rate of all Panos players in the early this season and we jump into the Stagger Ram screen where we watch Papa Petru coming off a stagger leading into a ball screen for slcas man G up tocas oh that would have been a stagger screen is also being used in outof bounds play either as a plain stagger screen or with a screen the screener twist down set up as you just called here comes gonus up top the sword cut to the basket Mario also two fewer turnovers four fouls on sester now with four minutes to play nice bounce pass me Togo down the Baseline using the window to protect the shot we're closing the Stagger section with a stagger curl and with stagger into a Spain pick and Back Screen Series roll this is another key play in adan's Playbook often used as a standalone action or to initiate other combinations it begins with a back diagonal screen into the paint for the fourman followed by a pin down the play offers two primary options one for the shooter as seen here with gregonis and one for the fourman to receive the ball in the low post creating a scoring opportunity [Music] in front and with the basketball is a jeren grant see the five on the floor for the greens guy driving nice dish Roos can find a way to stop him they'll keep feeding him now canalir is fine the way to stop these threes coming in is gones having a look now and on the weak side panan iOS forgot about him alow within one [Music] Lucas oh B rovski the quarter so far in favor of the home team and M have done a terrific job standing the rallies on that's a caress the first variation of this play is the back screen the screener transitioning into a Miami action which includes a handoff and subsequent ball screen difficult they are when they start hitting threes marcusa minkovich said kkus and they get out that rooll they want to make sure that stops mogu all by himself under it's Brandon Davies starring in the first quarter here for Valencia he's got five of their seven slcas again prodding probing penetrating and picking finish out the top of what is currently a 14 tie for a place in the top four the Greeks in there alternate kit tonight and celebration of international women's [Music] day in some instances the back screen the screener entry is followed by a hammer screen on the week side or by a ve action which is a ball screen or a fake ball screen into a pin down [Music] things started here early on bran up top looking for nun nun's been so decisive lately here he comes to the Middle Lane trying to get Ram Screen Series that the ram action is one of the basic actions in adan's Playbook even back in his days with a fesh this action exists in almost every adaman variation you can see it executed after a stagger screen before a Spain pick and roll after a down screen after an Iverson cut and more the ram screen is an off ball screen set for a player who will then set a ball screen it usually involves a change of angle to confuse the ball screener defender on which side they should help or hedge hold on to him Peter's called for his first foul gones thought he had a little something in the corner giving it up not a grant alovi with the pick Al to gonus gonus wants it this time lucing the screen from the stor the SW ring driving beneath the free throw line and getting [Music] Styles slcas lur caught it behind him and put it in in front of him watch as urgen adaman calls the play fist four where me glue the fourman sets the ball screen and then pops out [Music] watch here the greens run a ram ghost screen into a step up pick and roll Step Up is a type of ball screen where the screener back is to the [Music] Baseline on backto back three-point buckets for nasm trong perfect shooting from long distance and his team have their largest lead of the game they're up by seven slcas rejects the ram screen and attacks the basket taking control of the play and creating a scoring opportunity after the ram screen we have a pick and roll with a pin down on the weak side this serves two purposes it occupies the defender and creates a potential open shooting opportunity as seen in the clips respectively be here next season they start the second period with the ball but down two none left onard next pay from the Floppy/ Diamond Series perimeter let's jump into the floppy and Diamond Series a highly utilized action from Marius gregonis and Kendrick nun this play is designed to create an open shot on the side or initiate a pick and roll specifically a pick and roll with a short roll and Howard Howard still on the court gones is and finished with a high percentage field goal attempt gones mid-range [Music] [Music] MOS advantage to three points as Grant inside lur back to gones for the Triple got it something that Pier P has done is give longer minutes bigger roles to some of the younger players and referee their defense is held up here as they made a five to2 [Music] run goodus to the corner tries to go back our good ball movement Jerry gra from the corner that's aw it appears that urgan adaman calls the one side or twoos side Diamond actions based on who's going to get the ball in the first instance slcas signals the two side where none gets the ball in the second the coach signals the one side where Grant receives the ball out of a diamond formation [Music] [Music] Down Screen Series let's now take a deep dive into into the down screen series we'll start with a down screen into a handoff pick and roll which uran adaman calls one down five this play appears to be a variation of the speni action but it uses a down screen instead of a flex [Music] screen five of fesus seven points [Music] lur want some payback just even after last night's win for Olympiacos they're still matching up at fourth and fifth would be one of the most epic Encounters in the history of this competition one Twist of this action is that the player who sets the down screen is the same one who sets the ball screen one more variation is the down handoff into a ram screen here the fivan makes the handoff to the guard and then sets a ram screen for the power forward who then sets the ball screen and either rolls or pops depending on the [Music] situation like it's going to warm up here at any time butski now top tedric nun shaking and baking I said sh his [Music] head s playing sort of a point guard role at the moment here the ball to Jerry and Grant goes to work off the dribble Off the Mark another play from the down screen series is the down screen entry into a pitchback pick and [Music] roll foul Isaiah Cannon woo DOA trying to slow things down giving me a little bit of a rest here but DOA again off to the big man and here he comes with the Flex Series [Music] left let's watch some cool Flex action starting with one that is getting initiated from out of bounds and is leading into a simple Flex screen for the fourman and is called by the coach as up [Music] there's a flex want to all by himself again beautifully they were in the midst of a playoff Pursuit just fell short in the end but it kept them believing until the final stretch of the regular season blocked off the The Greens also used the flex screen the screener action either with a pin down on the second screen or with a stagger [Music] close move banga drops two foul shots that's four points only for him after a big night last week po up down low stops over some cases they cleverly fake the flexx screen only to seamlessly transition into a ghost screen as we watch slcas expertly executing this deceptive [Music] Iverson Series move let's dive into the Iverson series starting with the Iverson into a side pick and pop this action usually acts as a decoy and is used to initiate a pick and roll action on the weak side with just 5 seconds remaining what drama awaits over the course of the next two hours and indeed the next two weeks the 2023 24 Turkish Airline Zur League playoffs are underway [Applause] [Music] first offense for the greens MoGo for three bang that's all it took 15-point lead and possession again almost in the final minute of the first half Kendrick done again oh my word margin of Advantage once again they lead by four magificent work on the offensive players by jel Rivero gives you an idea as to why M play the number one offensive rebounding team in the Euro league the hands of Thea Anan iOS fans offering their team encouragement because once again they've struggled to put Asal away and up as if off a trampoline and B lucz and the skip pass the from Grant unmolested all the way to the hoop in some variations there's a ram screen leading to a side pick and pop while in others there's an immediate pitchback from the player making the Iverson [Music] cut is it will is off here panthan iOS on the road against asille Lucas trying to find some room in Zoom Series the let's now watch some plays out of a zoom action beginning with a very cool setup it starts with a zoom action involving greas followed by a weak side pin down and then transitions into a flare on the opposite side this continuous ball movement from one side to another creates an open shot for their best Shooter two have been converted one by arrin this one by Orel poy bu is unlikely hero with 10 points so far now ggis going for another three and makes it it's ring points at the [Music] moment it's worth watching how GRE moves off the ball and continually finds ways to get open even if the play does not provide the first option perfectly off the pick ronas who just knocked down a three now getting into the rhythm of things Grant ronus to the Lane pops it out heran Gomez ran Gomez has a beautiful Lane off to the big [Music] [Music] Zipper Series let's now switch to the zipper series starting with the zipper 4 this is a zipper action where the down screen is set by the fourman [Music] so vosa threading the needle and Costas aneto plant both feet in the paint and Powers home a two-fisted flush largest lead of the game at 18 now taken down to 50 Jones gets his sixth assist to match the six of slas slas hesitation dribble all the way CL anao has been Anonymous or not even called upon but he's having a moment one that panthan Nikos needs tonight Corner three for gonis yes coach also mixes in other actions such as a zipper into a ram screen or a zipper into an Iverson cut leading into a ram screen on to the floor for the first time tonight Matias L well for the remaining backourt players they do have Reller on two already grant for guy Lort sets a screen for him and Other Pick & Roll Actions [Music] another common pick and roll variation that panikos employed last season was the empty corner pick and roll this specific setup was primarily used to neutralize defensive taggers creating more space and freedom for the offense to operate on the strong side it allowed them to punish any defensive breach on the strong side or in the weak side [Music] [Music] [Music] let's jump into the drag series which is essentially a ball screen in transition or secondary [Music] transition back to the Sun and and he met him at the sideline before he even came onto the floor he's going to guard him here in the second quarter here's Grant [Music] tough luas saw trying to take his strong trip or a block either way his possession secured for panthan iOS by costus Lucas leaves his feet to pass offload to Kendrick nun turn around J nine points in the game on perfect shooting from the field Kendrick nun leaves his defender in the dust goes to the reverse points the advantage over L [Music] Baskin pan lers is getting the shooters touch in their home court it's byon mut they can't get him to fall The Sword down so it's a two-score game as jiren Grant Works to dribble drive through a heavy beautiful footwork down low pump F last but not least it's worth mentioning the off ball screens that juancho sets during a pick and roll action to occupy the help Defenders yes brankovic with the Miss Q could to be much better at the other end just too good nowhere for he parket to go now to take it on himself the clock continues to tick away here Gomez back to slus a game manager that's your man here goes Gomez for three going to try and penetrate why should he slet cross to nine nine step back yeah driving slap Away by Brandon Davies but how about they have credited lur with that block that's a nice feed at the other end the one-handed throw [Music]
