Basketball Plays--LA Special

The diagrammed play below is run against a man to man defense.

I like to use the 1-4 high to start our sets for two reason:

1) It helps our players know that we are running a set
2) It makes it difficult to pressure the entry pass since there are 4 options

All of our basketball plays including diagrams, videos, and animated basketball plays are at this link: Animated Basketball Plays

1 dribbles away from 4 as 4 pops to the deep elbow. 1 passes to 4

.

After passing to 4, 1 cuts off the backscreen from #5. 2 and 3 move toward the lane. if 1 is open, 4 will pass to him/her, but that will not be open very often

.

4 passes to 5 as 1 and 2 are setting a staggered screen for 3. If 3 is open, 5 will make the pass
