Great End of Game set. Here BCZK executes a nice Hammer play when they need a 3pt shot. This play works because when 1 and 5 run the middle pick and roll, x4 has to help on 5 rolling to the basket, which creates a great opportunity to run a hammer screen for 2 on the weak side.

ATO from BCZK. In this set, 2 is the best shooter but acts as a decoy. 2 sells coming off 4's pin down screen, but instead sets a back screen so that 4 can get a lob at the rim. x4 will be in a stance ready to help on the shooter and unable to defend against the lob.

Here is a creative way Zalgiris uses Spain PNR in a baseline out of bounds situation. Play begins with a stagger into a zipper for the inbounder who catches at top of the key. Spain action ensues from here (frame 3) with 1 setting the back screen and popping, Having 3 and 4 cut through to opposite corners during this primary action offers some nice misdirection to distort the defense.

Possibly the longest set in BCZK playbbok, witha Rip Screen, Thunder Screen, Euro Flow and Spain PNR in one set. Great action from head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius to challenge the defense, and his players execute it very well. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

Diamond set into side ball screen Spain PNR from BCZK. Succesfully running Side Spain PNRs the entire season, this play was deadly for Zalgiris because of the Swing action which forces all five defenders be active in defense the whole 24 seconds of the shot clock.

Interesting variation of Spain PNR from BCZK. In this set, 5 (rather than a shooter like in classic Spain action) sets the back screen for 4. If 5 sets a good screen, it allows BCZK to throw a lob to its best alley oop threat in forward Aaron White (4 in diagrams, #30 in video). Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

This set looks like a classic Spain PNR in stack position, but this set starts from Horns formation. And now the defense cannot switch between smalls, as is common with many European teams to defend Spain PNR (when x3 takes 1 driving, and x1 takes 3 popping to 3pt line). Here x3 must guard 5 at elbow and cannot help on 1 driving to the basket. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

An interesting counter to BCZK's original Iverson Guard Post Series. In this set, instead of receiving the ball in the post, 1 uses 2's pindown screen right into a DHO with 5. This action is extremely difficult for x1 to defend and puts pressure on the entire defense to help out, opening up several options. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Iverson Series See More

Here's a creative way to run Spain PNR by adding it after a Logo PNR. BCZK doesn't run this often, but it's a nice counter to their original set which posts 1 at the block. They usually score with this progression. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Iverson Series See More

Zalgiris Kaunas uses this Horns Formation into a Stagger Screen to get its best shooter a wide open three. Variation to Horns Exchange Shake action that BCZK also runs. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Horns Series See More

From Euroleage team Zalgiris Kaunas. Effective play for a point guard who can shoot from coming off screens. Shake action occurs when ball screener continues and sets a screen for a shooter, and ball handler throws back to the shooter after dragging the defense.

It's rare to see "Logo PNR" action in Europe, which is why Zalgiris Kaunas goes to it at times, and with a high success rate. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Iverson Series See More
