About This Play/Drill

The TAKE Concept is common in International basketball. In essesence the player passing to the big man (1 as shown) is "giving to get." He/she is passing then using acceleration to "take" the ball back from 5. The acceleration can lead to a small advantage. 

5 may make one dribble, but often they step to the catch and simply "plate" the ball by holding it out to side with palm up.

1 and 5 read whether X1 trails or goes under as the ball is being taken. If the defense goes under and there is no small advantage for 1, 5 twists into a ball screen.

As shown this serves as a bit of false motion into Spread Ball Screen offense

    - Euro/International concept

    - Often used as false motion to disguise Spread Ball Screen alignment

    - From 5-out it would begin with the ball handler(1) passing to the trailing big (5)

  • 1 is "giving to get" - he/she passes to 5 to get it back

     

    5 takes one dribble (may not take a dribble at all) then "plates" the ball (holds it in outside hand with palm up)

     

    1 sprints to TAKE the ball from 5. If X1 trails, use the small advantage to score or draw a secondary defender.

     

    After ball is taken 5 breaks the defense with a roll

  • X1 may slide under 5 as 1 TAKES the ball. 1 would then possibly have no advantage after taking it...

  • 5 then TWISTS into an immediate ball screen

  • The angle from 5 should now induce X1 into going over the ball screen. 1 uses the small advantage to score or engage a secondary defender.

     

    Look for roll as well...

  • Referring back to Frame 1, you can see how this resulted in the spread ball screen alignment
