The Screen Navigator's Invisible Work

[SAMPLE EDITORIAL ESSAY] The defender guarding the ball must anticipate the screen angle and choose a route before contact arrives. Going over protects against the pull-up but opens a lane; going under saves ground but may concede space. The big defender's position changes that calculation. Recovery is part of the technique. A defender who reconnects without reaching can keep the action in front and give the rest of the defense time to recover its shape.
