About This Play/Drill

A variation of the pistol action shared a few weeks ago from the Miami Heat from a few seasons ago.  In this action, LeBron James would come off a Chris Bosh ball screen and look to attack the rim. If LeBron could not get to the rim, he would look to hit Bosh popping to the corner/short corner after setting the ball screen.

  • 3 brings the ball into the operating area and passes to 1, and then cuts towards 1. 3 will then receive a dribble handoff back from 1 while 4 sets a flare screen for 1.

  • 3 dribbles to the left corner, turns and receives a ball screen from 4.

     

    1st Option: 3 penetrates off 4's ball screen and makes a play in the paint.

     

    2nd Option: 3 passes to 4 (popping to the short corner area) or 1 at the top of the key for a shot.
