Basketball Canada

X2 denies the entry pass to and defends any backdoor cut by O2, then forces sideline once the ball is caught. Go 1 on 1 to a score or stop. X5 can help if O2 drives the basket. Then X4 defends O4. O2 goes behind O7, O1 goes behind O5. Rotate defenders after several turns.

Options

- X6 rotates under the basket when X5 helps (help the helper)
- on-ball defenders force middle.

Variations

a) X4 defends O4 in a help position and sinks to the basket (ball level) as 02 drives baseline. On the next sequence X4 will be the on-ball defender on O4, X2 will be in a help position on 02. Option - X4 does not help if O2 drives middle (no middle means no middle).
b) Add defenders on O3 and O1 for a complete help rotation (X3 would drop down to help helper X4, X1 would drop to the foul line).
