Basketball Play - Lithuania - DHO UCLA Shuffle

Lithuania - DHO UCLA Shuffle

Matt Wheeler 08/08/2016

Lithuania ran this unique shuffle cut variation in their opening round game against Brazil. Typically shuffle cut actions put the player receiving the staggered screen in the weakside corner . This way they can easily come off of the staggered screen after the shuffle screen takes place. In this play, 3 uses the UCLA cut to look for a layup on the strong side. If 3 isn't open he moves to weakside block to open up a cutting area for 1, who is using the shuffle screen from 4. 4 & 5 then immediately set a staggered screen for 3. If 3 doesn't have a shot, Lithuania has added a ball screen option where the point guard sets a back screen for the 5 to free him up for a layup. See More

Basketball Play - Lithuania - Choice Side PNR

Lithuania - Choice Side PNR

Matt Wheeler 08/08/2016

Lithuania frequently uses this play to get into a side ball screen action. They place the player who they want in the ball screen (2) under the basket so they can come off of a screen on either side. On the pass to 2, 3 screens for the post player on the opposite side so his defender will be late in defending the ball screen. Lithuania likes to play in a spread pick & roll situation so they then lift the 4 up above the 3 point line. This way 1 can look for 5 rolling to the basket or any of the 3 shooters spaced outside the 3 point line. See More

Basketball Play - USA - Pindown Curl Post Screen

USA - Pindown Curl Post Screen

Matt Wheeler 08/09/2016

Team USA used this play to get a quick post opportunity for Demarcus Cousins to open the second half in their game against Venezuela. The down screen forces x4 to help against the curl, which opens up the pass to the wing. To run this play you want to make sure your 4 is comfortable on the perimeter and is skilled in making post entry passes. The difficulty in defending this play comes with x2 having to guard consecutive actions, fighting over the pindown screen and helping on the cross screen. If 2 sets a great screen and x5 is unable to fight through it, it will lead to an easy post up for the 5. See More
