Italy National Team 4 Down Offense:

With this post I begin the Italy's Playbook for the next Eurobasket 2013. Now we're seeing a 4-Down Offense that azzurris use to play a top ballscreen with different final options.

First option is when the 5 is the top ball-
screener. 1 dribbles to the left wing and 4
sets a downscreen for 2 who slides up to 
the top of the key. 1 hits 2. 5 slides up to 
the top and 3 slides up to the wing.

Then 5 sets a ballscreen for 2 and rolls to
the left low post. 4 can cut to the right low
post or to the right corner.
1 can hits 5 at the low post or to 4 at the
low post or at the corner.

Second options is when 4 is the top ball-
screener. 1 dribbles to the left wing, 5 sets
a downscreen for 2 who moves to the top
of the key and, 1 hits 2. 4 slides up to the
top of the key.

Then 4 sets a ballscreen for 2 and pops to the left wing. 5 cuts to the right low post.
1 has 4 different options of pass as we can see in the picture.

If 2 hits 4 at the left wing, then 1 slides up
towards 4 for a hand-off pass.

4 moves to the left low post. 1 dribbles to
the rim and can pass to 4 at the baseline
or to 5 at the low post depending on the
deffense.

Italy National Team Transition Offense:

Turn for the Italia National Team with this complete transition offense which is used by the azzurris to get a quick shoot or to play some different as we are going to see. In this set we can catch the very important role of Luigi Datome, #4, in the italian team.

Firstly 1 dribbles to the left wing and 2 sli-
des up tp the top of the key being staggered
screened by 4 and 5. 4 pops to the wing.
1 hits 2.

First Option: The first option is when 5 sets
a ballscreen for 2 and rolls to the rim.
2 can dribble to the rim or can pass to the
other 4 teammates.

Second Option: The second option beginswhen 5 sets a ballscreen for 2 and pops to the top. 2 hits 5.

Third Option: The third option begins when
1 sets a downscreen for 4 who slides up
to the wing. 5 hits 4.

Then 1 moves towards 5 for a hand-off pass. 5 rolls to the paint. Then a triangle offense is played between 1, 4 and 5.

Right after 1 moves towards 4 for a hand-
off pass. 4 rolls to the low post. 1 can drib-
bles to the rim or can pass to 4.

Fourth Option: The last option is played

the wing and 5 hits 4.

Finally 5 sets a ballscreen for 4 and rolls to the paint. 4 can shoot, can dribble to the rim or can pass to 5 at the low post.
