a) 4 screens the bottom defender, 3 can work the sideline for a skip pass.
In addition to screening, other keys in beating a zone are: - fast break, and an early zone attack from transition - attack the glass with at least 3 rebounders - get high-percentage shots the first 3-4 possessions - pass with patience, the zone will deteriorate after a few passes - reverse the ball - take it away from a shooter, bring it back - use pass fakes to shift the zone - gap the zone (alignment) - gap and freeze dribble, dribble entry - putting posts behind the zone (e.g., level with the backboard, or short corner) - attack from the back (run players baseline, flash into the post from behind, look for lob passes).
