00:00:00
what's up y'all this is Alex from the
00:00:02
rim review the rim review is a page that
00:00:05
gives Nuance to the way you watch
00:00:07
basketball through providing in-depth
00:00:09
player analysis and X's and O's
00:00:11
breakdowns in today's episode we're
00:00:14
going to cover eight simple basketball
00:00:16
Concepts that you'll notice the next
00:00:19
time you watch a Euro league NBA or
00:00:21
Collegiate game these are also some
00:00:24
really fun Concepts you can incorporate
00:00:25
with your high school team or when
00:00:27
you're simply playing pickup with
00:00:29
friends now let's get into it the first
00:00:32
concept we're going to be looking at
00:00:33
today is Spain as you can see right here
00:00:37
in this diagram the general concept of
00:00:39
Spain pick and roll is when the five or
00:00:42
someone sets a screen and it is followed
00:00:45
up with a back pick on the screener now
00:00:47
let's get into film to make this a
00:00:49
little more clear and also these teams
00:00:51
on the right are teams that run this all
00:00:54
the time but there are so many teams
00:00:56
that run this more and you're going to
00:00:58
see Spain pick and roll in pretty much
00:01:00
any NBA game that you
00:01:03
watch now let's watch this
00:01:06
play right here the first screen is set
00:01:09
by Jaylen Williams at a wide angle it is
00:01:13
now followed up with this back pick and
00:01:15
as you can see he's screening Oscar
00:01:18
sheway which allows Williams to roll
00:01:21
which forces this Defender to
00:01:23
communicate over here so he's not able
00:01:25
to come over and help and it leads to a
00:01:28
wideopen dunk so once
00:01:31
again this screen takes out this man
00:01:34
this screen takes out this man and he is
00:01:38
concerned with the rooll so he doesn't
00:01:40
come over to help and it's an easy
00:01:42
finish Spain really forces a defense to
00:01:45
talk and it leads to results such as
00:01:48
this one on this next play it's a very
00:01:51
similar action once again very clear
00:01:55
screen on the ball here back pick here
00:01:58
and it's amazing what it leads to
00:02:00
but what's awesome is when you set the
00:02:03
back pick often time you'll be able to
00:02:06
pop and get a wide openen three such as
00:02:09
this
00:02:11
one you're also able to hit the rle man
00:02:14
and on this play right here it's going
00:02:16
to be this screen and it turns into
00:02:19
Spain right here with this ball screen
00:02:22
here and this screen and look at this
00:02:25
it's a roll even though no contact is
00:02:29
made on Sten Adams he has to take a step
00:02:32
sideways because he expects the contact
00:02:35
and it leads to a crazy dunk Lucas and
00:02:39
guess what you can do even more creative
00:02:42
things such as this action right here
00:02:45
there's a ball screen and then the Spain
00:02:48
occurs here but they actually decide to
00:02:50
twist it turn around and have a trick
00:02:54
play and it's a wideopen three so now
00:02:57
that you have the basic concept of Spain
00:02:59
you're going to see more things such as
00:03:01
this and honestly that's just pretty to
00:03:04
watch and it's a great Three
00:03:06
Special now this next action is known as
00:03:09
a double drag it's very simple and it's
00:03:12
called a variety of different names but
00:03:15
right here as you see in the diagram the
00:03:17
five and the four are going to both set
00:03:19
a screen on the
00:03:22
ball on this play right here the double
00:03:25
drag
00:03:26
occurs and you have two men setting a
00:03:29
ball screen
00:03:30
and actually this play would be
00:03:32
considered a double drag Spain as you
00:03:35
see this upscreen right here that sets
00:03:39
it for the lob a double drag is a really
00:03:42
nice action and it leads to a lot of
00:03:44
great results such as this
00:03:46
one right here Yukon flows into a lot of
00:03:49
double drags they're first going to
00:03:51
start off getting the ball up
00:03:54
top and now that they're
00:03:57
set the first ball screen is set here
00:04:01
and what's cool about a double drag is
00:04:04
now there's a screen set here but Jordan
00:04:06
Hawkins is actually going to go under
00:04:09
and not set the second screen as you can
00:04:11
see right here he's more having like a
00:04:13
banana cut in this direction that is
00:04:16
still considered a 77 as it's drawing
00:04:19
this Defender over and it leaves Jordan
00:04:22
Hawkins wide open for an easy
00:04:25
three on this play once again a 77 is
00:04:29
Happening Here with Grayson Allen and
00:04:31
Brooks
00:04:33
Lopez and then it's a really cool
00:04:35
rescreen where Grayson Allen comes the
00:04:38
other way for a
00:04:41
three once again all of these base
00:04:44
concepts are simple as a double drag is
00:04:46
really just two on ball screens but it
00:04:49
can very easily turn into beautiful
00:04:51
actions such as this one that really
00:04:53
force a defense to talk and make it hard
00:04:56
to
00:04:57
guard now let's look get a horn set
00:05:00
which pretty much every high school
00:05:02
basketball team in the country runs all
00:05:05
the horn set is is you have two guys on
00:05:08
the elbow typically both bigs however
00:05:11
some teams will run horned small which
00:05:14
is when they have a big and a guard on
00:05:16
the
00:05:17
[Music]
00:05:19
elbows right here as you see Jeremy
00:05:21
shohan and yaka purle are both on the
00:05:25
elbows and now they're going to catch
00:05:27
the ball and then they're immediately
00:05:29
going to flow into this Zoom action
00:05:32
where it's a dho and Devon Vel gets an
00:05:34
easy mid-range having this elbow
00:05:37
playmaking is really nice and it's just
00:05:40
good simple spacing that allows a
00:05:42
basketball team to remain
00:05:46
organized on this play we're going to
00:05:48
get more creative as joic and Aaron
00:05:50
Gordon are both at the elbows right here
00:05:54
they give yic the ball he hands it off
00:05:57
and then look at this it's an elevator
00:05:59
screen where Aaron Gordon and joic are
00:06:03
setting it for Jamal Murray to get a
00:06:05
wide open three this is another play
00:06:08
that a lot of teams run this has
00:06:10
probably been ran at the high school
00:06:11
level horns elevator it's super simple
00:06:14
but it's creative and fun these are
00:06:17
great ways to get your guys open
00:06:20
shots on this play the Jazz are having
00:06:23
the ball and with a bucket could ice the
00:06:25
game so they start off here in a horn
00:06:29
set
00:06:31
they then split with Walker Kessler
00:06:33
setting a screen on the ball Kessler
00:06:36
then goes and sets what the Jazz call a
00:06:39
throwback screen or a rescreen you can
00:06:42
call it a variety of different things
00:06:44
where Lori marinin comes off the screen
00:06:47
and now look at this you have Lori
00:06:49
marinin basically going downhill fron
00:06:52
Vagner is out of the play and now you
00:06:54
have Walker Kessler in a role you're
00:06:56
forcing the defense to have him
00:06:58
collapse you're going to force maral
00:07:00
folz to come over really what I'd like
00:07:02
to do is see either a hammer or an
00:07:04
interchange between these two guys but
00:07:07
you get Lori marketing going downhill
00:07:10
that's just beautiful let's watch this
00:07:11
one more time CU it's just good
00:07:13
basketball and these are simple Concepts
00:07:16
that work on every level you get Lori
00:07:19
going downhill and Bam it's
00:07:23
money on this play it's another horns
00:07:25
action where it's going to be a down
00:07:28
screen
00:07:30
so you set this screen right here and
00:07:32
then they act like nothing happens and
00:07:35
then wow what are we about to see this
00:07:38
upscreen
00:07:39
that's just fun and special and it all
00:07:42
starts with a horn set so you have two
00:07:45
guys here with horns you set a down
00:07:49
screen and then you come right back up
00:07:51
for a lob and I know I showed it twice
00:07:53
but it's just
00:07:55
pretty now let's look at a zoom action
00:07:58
and a zoom is basically a concept that
00:08:00
is run frequently out of delay and delay
00:08:03
is when you typically give the ball to
00:08:05
the five at the top of the key but
00:08:07
pretty much a zoom can be run out of any
00:08:09
sort of concept and all that a zoom is
00:08:12
is it's one of two things it can either
00:08:15
be a dribble handoff leading to a ball
00:08:17
screen or it can be a ball screen
00:08:20
leading to a dribble handoff either way
00:08:24
a zoom is a really great action and a
00:08:26
concept that leads to winning basketball
00:08:30
and we're going to see this right here
00:08:33
so we're going to start off with this
00:08:35
action and once again look at the time
00:08:38
and score an NBA team is running this
00:08:40
Zoom action with a tie game and 58
00:08:43
seconds left and if they're doing this
00:08:45
in the NBA it's going to work in your
00:08:47
pickup games or your IM Leagues with
00:08:49
your
00:08:50
buddies so right here Larry n has the
00:08:54
ball Jose Alvarado's going to set a
00:08:56
screen and it comes into a CJ McCollum
00:08:59
dribble hand off and McCullum gets a
00:09:01
nice easy
00:09:03
three but it can also go the other way
00:09:05
and we're going to see that right here
00:09:07
on this action where it's going to be a
00:09:09
dribble handoff followed by a John
00:09:11
Collins screen and it leaves to an easy
00:09:14
Kevin herder floater and Kevin herder
00:09:16
could have gotten more to the rim but
00:09:18
once again zooms create
00:09:21
advantages and now we're going to look
00:09:23
at some fun things with zoom and you're
00:09:25
going to see the zoom right here as it
00:09:29
it's a screen into a dribble handoff and
00:09:31
while basically everyone on the court
00:09:34
except these two guys are focused on
00:09:36
this action look what we're about to see
00:09:38
a one-on-one back door cut so zooms can
00:09:41
be a great action that can be used to
00:09:43
occupy a large portion of the defense
00:09:46
while giving someone else an opportunity
00:09:48
to create off
00:09:52
ball on this play we're going to see a
00:09:54
zoom with multiple things and first off
00:09:57
this Zoom starts in a horn set so it's
00:10:00
not like you're doing one or the other
00:10:01
you start to layer these types of
00:10:03
Concepts on each other and so it becomes
00:10:06
a zoom right here as you have the down
00:10:10
screen into the dribble handoff and then
00:10:12
the Cavs are going to get even more
00:10:14
creative and they're going to set this
00:10:15
Punch or rip or slice or whatever you
00:10:18
call it screen to get Evan Moy the ball
00:10:22
in the post and even if that didn't work
00:10:25
Isaac auro could have had the
00:10:27
opportunity to come off this screen
00:10:29
screen right here from Robin Lopez and
00:10:31
so basketball really is about layering
00:10:34
actions together in this action you have
00:10:36
a horns then a zoom then you have this
00:10:39
screen the screener and then you have
00:10:41
another opportunity and if that hadn't
00:10:43
worked and let's say this screen was
00:10:46
denied I guarantee you if everything is
00:10:48
denied the hawk or the Cavs are probably
00:10:51
going to have a Twan game right here
00:10:53
with Donovan Mitchell or they just have
00:10:55
Robin Lopez come up and set another
00:10:57
screen all basketball is is about
00:11:00
continuously flowing to the next action
00:11:02
and right here it's an easy
00:11:05
basket now this next concept is called a
00:11:08
flare screen which is honestly something
00:11:10
that is R pretty much everywhere I even
00:11:13
did this sometimes in Middle School some
00:11:15
people call it a chest screen it's
00:11:17
particularly called a chest in the NBA
00:11:20
but most people call it a flare and as
00:11:22
you see right here a flare is just this
00:11:24
angled screen to get somebody open away
00:11:27
from the ball and we're going to see
00:11:28
this right here
00:11:30
here so right here the Celtics are going
00:11:33
to run an action that involves a flare
00:11:35
screen and as you see Jason Tatum passes
00:11:38
the ball up and is now going to have
00:11:40
this screen that allows him to move
00:11:42
alongside the three-point line Trey
00:11:45
young isn't paying attention that's a
00:11:47
trend and it leads to Jason Tatum
00:11:49
getting a wide open three while he
00:11:51
doesn't make it it's just a simple play
00:11:54
to get your best player an open shot
00:12:00
on this play we're going to see Desmond
00:12:02
Bane come off a flare screen and I want
00:12:04
to point something out right here Derek
00:12:07
Rose is going to go from this corner to
00:12:09
the opposite corner and the reason why
00:12:11
he's doing this is because he wants to
00:12:13
bring his man away right here the reason
00:12:16
why they're doing this is now there's no
00:12:18
backside help and it puts deonis sabonis
00:12:21
on an island when jiren Jackson sets
00:12:23
this flare screen deonis sabonis thinks
00:12:26
that he can switch the action because I
00:12:28
guarant to you that if they didn't
00:12:30
switch it J or not that they can switch
00:12:33
it sorry that they can fight through the
00:12:35
action because after this Flair Jared
00:12:38
Jackson is going to go right into a ball
00:12:39
screen so sabonis calls for them to
00:12:42
fight through and not switch and it
00:12:44
leads to bad talk and sabonis feels like
00:12:47
you can fight through because he assumes
00:12:49
there's help right here because he
00:12:50
doesn't know that Derrick Rose has ran
00:12:52
to this corner and Desmond Bane gets a
00:12:55
wide openen
00:12:57
three right here the Hornets are going
00:13:00
to run another flare screen and as you
00:13:02
see just good movement a really easy
00:13:06
screen here to get Brandon Miller the
00:13:07
ball and then a nice interchange in
00:13:10
between these two with Cody Martin and
00:13:12
Nick Richards
00:13:14
lifting and it leads to a wideopen three
00:13:16
opportunity for Brandon Miller he
00:13:19
doesn't take the three and he s side
00:13:21
steps and makes it a
00:13:23
highlight right here ston is going to
00:13:26
run this and once again every team is
00:13:28
running this if we're pulling clips from
00:13:30
statson you can get it pretty much
00:13:32
anywhere they're going to start in a box
00:13:34
set they're going to once again clear
00:13:37
the side which is very important because
00:13:40
it puts Donovan kinging on an island and
00:13:43
as soon as the screen is set this really
00:13:46
should be a shot right here I think
00:13:48
Stefon Castle's presence and the name
00:13:50
value he brings probably concerns the
00:13:52
STS and shooter but this should be a
00:13:54
shot or an immediate right drive for
00:13:56
some reason ston goes left but it still
00:13:59
works for a
00:14:04
bucket now let's talk about a hammer
00:14:06
screen which is pretty much just another
00:14:10
more developed version of a flare all
00:14:12
that a hammer is is it's don't worry
00:14:14
about this stuff right here this is a
00:14:16
way a lot of teams get into a hammer but
00:14:18
it's really the three and the four right
00:14:20
here as the one is making this drive the
00:14:23
three is going to set kind of coming up
00:14:26
think about coming either from maybe not
00:14:28
necessarily the ER but that lower part
00:14:30
of near the Baseline coming up from the
00:14:33
Baseline to set a screen for the floor
00:14:35
to drift to the corner and we're going
00:14:38
to see this right
00:14:39
here and once again this isn't a
00:14:42
summerly game from a couple years ago
00:14:44
these types of actions are ran all the
00:14:46
time and they're consistently
00:14:48
great so right here and you're going to
00:14:51
see
00:14:52
this as this is the hammer screen being
00:14:55
set it allows you to drift to the corner
00:14:59
and even though he slips he's able to
00:15:00
get the pass off for open
00:15:06
shot on this play we're going to see
00:15:08
another Hammer action and once again I
00:15:11
tried to get a variety of different
00:15:12
clips with this one being from
00:15:16
overseas right here you're going to see
00:15:18
this ball screen occurring at the top of
00:15:20
the key and while this ball screen
00:15:22
occurs the hammer is going to occur here
00:15:26
it leads to getting to the corner and an
00:15:28
open three so a hammer is a really nice
00:15:31
secondary action to layer into your main
00:15:34
ball screen or top of the key
00:15:38
movement now let's talk about a stagger
00:15:41
screen and stagger screens have became
00:15:43
more and more popular ESP especially in
00:15:45
college basketball where Yukon runs it
00:15:48
all the time and basically a stagger is
00:15:52
two screens away from the ball as you
00:15:54
see right here the four and the five are
00:15:56
setting the screen on the two
00:15:59
so right here we're going to see this
00:16:01
stagger screen and it's a pretty simple
00:16:04
concept and you're going to see Jay
00:16:07
Crowder and DeAndre Eaton setting a
00:16:09
stagger screen for Macau Bridges who
00:16:12
gets downhill for an easy
00:16:14
layup right here we're going to see a
00:16:17
stagger continuity from BYU so they
00:16:20
start off with staggers up
00:16:23
here and then after this it turns into
00:16:27
staggers right here and it's it's just
00:16:29
good actions and smart
00:16:31
basketball and then once again you can
00:16:34
Nix it around so you think 20 is coming
00:16:36
off the Stagger nope I'm setting a
00:16:38
stagger you go the other way and then
00:16:40
that doesn't work you just go into
00:16:42
another ball screen and it's flowing in
00:16:44
to more and more actions well it didn't
00:16:47
work this time for BYU it's the
00:16:49
continuities that typically lead to
00:16:52
successful
00:16:53
hoops right here you're going to see a
00:16:55
stagger action from Yukon so you see a
00:16:58
stag
00:16:59
here the Stagger is set and then you go
00:17:03
into right into a double double drag so
00:17:06
you have Cam spener and then you have
00:17:08
another screen right here and then after
00:17:11
that you're going to set this punch
00:17:13
screen where Cam flick Spencer and it
00:17:15
becomes a flex so cam Spencer sets a
00:17:18
screen here and then there's a down
00:17:20
screen coming right here and this is how
00:17:22
you get open you set more and more
00:17:24
actions and even though they force him
00:17:26
to reject this screen it's the
00:17:27
continuous movement that makes teams
00:17:30
really good it's flowing into the third
00:17:33
and fourth action that allows you to win
00:17:35
basketball games and Yukon does this
00:17:38
better than anybody so they have a
00:17:40
stagger right
00:17:41
here and then they run into another
00:17:44
stagger once again this is more of a
00:17:47
baseline stagger and then as soon as
00:17:49
this stagger occurs Donovan Clingan just
00:17:51
seals because he sees that the defense
00:17:53
is trying to cheat by going over so
00:17:56
there's no reason for Tristan Newton to
00:17:58
run to his spot why don't we just run to
00:18:00
the corner and then kinging opens up and
00:18:03
it's a simple layup just smart
00:18:07
basketball now let's talk about a ram
00:18:10
and we're going to see this right here
00:18:12
where a ram is just a screen forcing
00:18:15
someone to come up for a
00:18:17
screen so on this action the ram screen
00:18:21
is set and then this Ram turns into
00:18:23
Spain so a ram is this action where the
00:18:27
screen is set here leading to another
00:18:29
screen but then a really common thing is
00:18:31
to layer the ram up with a Spain so now
00:18:35
you have a Spain action where they're
00:18:38
both setting screens and then oh after
00:18:40
the Spain let's just pin in and lead to
00:18:44
a wide openen three so that's three
00:18:46
actions really layered into one which
00:18:48
leads to successful hoops this is just
00:18:51
more of a basic RAM and we're going to
00:18:53
see this right here Nick patum sets it
00:18:55
for
00:18:56
zubach and then the time was off but
00:18:59
this would be considered Ram exit if
00:19:02
treay man were to set a pin in right
00:19:04
here he could potentially give Nick
00:19:06
patum a shot but even if you're not
00:19:08
giving Nick patum a shot had the timing
00:19:10
been better and the timing was not great
00:19:12
here you're occupying these guys and you
00:19:14
create a twom man game and once again
00:19:17
look at this movement zubach gets the
00:19:20
ball here you force the defense to
00:19:22
collapse and then you space another
00:19:23
shooter in the corner and it's tick Tick
00:19:27
boom over overall those are eight really
00:19:30
simple basketball Concepts that can
00:19:32
improve the way you watch the game if
00:19:35
you want to learn more on how to watch
00:19:37
basketball please comment and I will
00:19:39
make sure to make more of these videos
00:19:42
and maybe have some indepth breakdowns
00:19:44
of things such as the Kings pistol
00:19:47
offense and a variety of different
00:19:49
concepts overall thanks for watching as
00:19:52
always and we'll be sure to tune in for
00:19:54
a video later this week and once again
00:19:58
this is the rim review
