Against an odd-front halfcourt zone press.

Ballside 3 is on the wing, weakside 4 is on the block. On the pass from 1 to 2, 4 pops out to the wing, 3 goes to the block.

On a pass to the high post, 5 looks for 3 low, 1, and 4 sliding toward the baseline.

If 2 passes to 4, the options are

a) 3 runs the baseline and 5 stays at the high post.

4 looks for 5 at the high post, 3 on the baseline, a skip pass to 1, or back to 2.

5 cuts to the basket on a pass to 3, who also looks for 1 spotting up weakside.

b) 5 dives on the pass to 4 (and can then drift to the baseline), 3 fills the high post.

Use a 1-3-1 set if the defence is trapping the two-guard set, or against an even-front zone. 4 runs the baseline, post movement options are the same when the ball goes to a wing.
