Zalgiris Kaunas - Stagger Zip Spain BLOB

Sergey Tkachenko 04/28/2018

Here is a creative way Zalgiris uses Spain PNR in a baseline out of bounds situation. Play begins with a stagger into a zipper for the inbounder who catches at top of the key. Spain action ensues from here (frame 3) with 1 setting the back screen and popping, Having 3 and 4 cut through to opposite corners during this primary action offers some nice misdirection to distort the defense.

Zalgiris Kaunas - 24 Rip Euro Spain PNR

Sergey Tkachenko 04/28/2018

Possibly the longest set in BCZK playbbok, witha Rip Screen, Thunder Screen, Euro Flow and Spain PNR in one set. Great action from head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius to challenge the defense, and his players execute it very well. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

Zalgiris Kaunas - Diamond Swing Spain PNR

Sergey Tkachenko 04/28/2018

Diamond set into side ball screen Spain PNR from BCZK. Succesfully running Side Spain PNRs the entire season, this play was deadly for Zalgiris because of the Swing action which forces all five defenders be active in defense the whole 24 seconds of the shot clock.

Zalgiris Kaunas - Side 54 Spain PNR

Sergey Tkachenko 04/28/2018

Interesting variation of Spain PNR from BCZK. In this set, 5 (rather than a shooter like in classic Spain action) sets the back screen for 4. If 5 sets a good screen, it allows BCZK to throw a lob to its best alley oop threat in forward Aaron White (4 in diagrams, #30 in video). Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

Zalgiris Kaunas - 35 Horns Into Spain

Sergey Tkachenko 04/28/2018

This set looks like a classic Spain PNR in stack position, but this set starts from Horns formation. And now the defense cannot switch between smalls, as is common with many European teams to defend Spain PNR (when x3 takes 1 driving, and x1 takes 3 popping to 3pt line). Here x3 must guard 5 at elbow and cannot help on 1 driving to the basket. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

Zalgiris Kaunas - Iverson UCLA Logo Spain PNR

Sergey Tkachenko 04/28/2018

Here's a creative way to run Spain PNR by adding it after a Logo PNR. BCZK doesn't run this often, but it's a nice counter to their original set which posts 1 at the block. They usually score with this progression. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Iverson Series See More

Zalgiris Kaunas - Horns Exchange Stagger

Zalgiris Kaunas uses this Horns Formation into a Stagger Screen to get its best shooter a wide open three. Variation to Horns Exchange Shake action that BCZK also runs. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Horns Series See More
