Euroleague Coaching Tactics: Week 23


Fener - Baseline Out: choice & flare

  Coach Zeljko Obradovic runs this baseline out play for sharpshooter Luigi Datome. After a flare screen set from 5, 3 gets the ball on the wing, while 1 & 2 flash to the basket. 2 clears out and bigs set an angled choice for 1 (Kostas Sloukas). He gets open at the corner and then starts dribbling towards the wing. This triggers a flare screen for 3. The key is the double gap (top & weak side wing area is empty).





Real: Shuffle Stagger play

  Coach Pablo Laso runs this flowing offense play primary for power forward Anthony Randoph and having Sergio Llull running the middle pick n' roll as second option. After 1 has passed the ball to wing, he cuts to strong side corner (sideline triangle entry). Then the ball is swung to the other side and 3 sets a shuffle screen for 4, who cuts strong to the basket and then posts-up. 3 & 5 set a staggered screen for 1 (Llull), who gets the ball at the top. 5 sets a pick n' roll and dives hard to the basket.





Παναθηναϊκός - Horns set: Post-up Iso


  A simple and quivk play from coach Rick Pitino, targeting Deshawn Thomas at the low post area. Point guard sets a back screen and then passes the ball to his temmate posting-up from the top (high-low action. 3 sets a flare screen for 1, 5 cuts to opposite low post (for a possible low-low action) and 2 relocates to elbow extended. This movement gives the option to 4 to play 1vs1 (isolation).
