Attacking Junk Defenses Basketball Animation

Junk, or combination, defenses feature one or two defenders playing tight man-to-man denial defense on the opponent's best player(s), while the remaining defenders play a zone. These defenses are usually used against teams with one or two star perimeter players. Examples are the "box-and-1", the "triangle-and-2", the "diamond-and-1", the "1-3 and a chaser", and others.

In attacking these defenses, to keep things simple, some coaches simply advise using your favorite zone offense vs box-and-1 defenses, and your regular man-to-man offense vs the triangle-and-2 defense. Here, we'll discuss the "BB-offense" ("Big-Blocker") that can be used against most of these defenses. Also see "Attacking the Box and 1 Defense" (more specific X's-and-O's)
