UCLA PLAY FOR 3 AGAINST A ZONE

#4 cuts high to take a pass from #1 and relay it to #3.

While this movement is going on, #5 cuts ahead of #2 and puts screen on back left defender.

#2 cuts out to 3-point shot area to take a pass from #3.

Another Play When You Need a 3....works vs. Man or Zone.

Diagram 1.

#1 dribbles at #2 who clears to the other side of the court.

#3 cuts to the top and receives pass from #1 and relays the ball to #2.

Diagram 2.

#2 takes pass from #3 and drives toward lane.

#3 cuts to 3 point range as shown and takes a pass from #2. This is called "Follow the Penetrator". The defender on #3 must help on the driver and cannot get to #3 to prevent a shot. Vs. a Man, #2 will drive on his defender. Vs. a Zone, #2 will "drive the gap."

This is a very simple, easily run play, but can be very effective in getting a 3 point shot.
