“PRESS BREAKER”“CIRCLE”

“Point Circle” vs a trapping Press

Best Ball handler takes it out = 1 man

2 and 3 screen and roll back. Once the ball is entered the 1 man sprints to the middle and then to the strong sideline! The back men shift in the opposite direction. The opposite 2 or 3 man who doesn’t get the ball must get behind the basketball (under the rim). When the ball is reversed we are again looking for the 1 man cutting to the middle and then to attack!
