1-3-1 Zone Defense - Defending the High Post

We try to prevent this pass to the high post as it is a very dangerous position. The offensive player can pass to any player here.

• 1 (Chaser) and 5 (Center) double the high post player and try to force the ball back out to the 1
• 2 (Wing) and 4 ( Warrior) pinch in to avoid a pass to the basket

The skip pass to the weak side wing is a dangerous pass that we try to prevent.

• 1 (Chaser) defends the ball
• 2 (Wing) banana cuts to first prevent the easy pass into the corner, and then double the 2 as soon as the 4 (Warrior) recovers.
