1-3-1 Zone Offense Basketball Animation

Return to previous page

There are a number of ways of attacking the 1-3-1 zone defense, but most success will come with attacking from the corner or short corner, and underneath the zone. Screening the low defender and back-screening the middle defender create opportunities as well.

As in any zone offense, move the ball with good quick passing, use skip passes, look to dribble penetrate the gaps, and drive and dish (either inside to a post player, or a kick out to the opposite side for a 3-point shot).

Also, we try to take of advantage of how the defense covers the corner. Offensive rebounding is important for second and third shots, especially since there is only one inside defender.
