What is the difference between the Pick & Pop and the Pick & Roll?

The roll pulls the big defender toward the rim; the pop pulls them away from it. Their spacing needs are opposite for that reason: the roll wants shooters pinned in the corners, the pop wants the lane briefly empty.

What is the difference between the Pick & Pop and the Short roll?

The third option, and the answer to a blitz. The screener neither rolls to the rim nor pops to the arc but stops around the free-throw line and makes the decision from the middle of a four-on-three. The short roll beats a blitz; the pop beats a drop.

Pick & Pop

Q: Where does the Pick & Pop usually break down?

Popping before making the screen useful Failing to turn and show hands after the pop

Q: How do you defend the Pick & Pop?

Drop: The screener's defender sinks to protect the rim and leaves the perimeter to the teammate chasing behind. This coverage is the reason the pop exists. Pop straight back behind the arc after the screen: the defender who should contest is standing in the paint and cannot get there. Switch: The defenders trade, so the popper is now guarded by the smaller of the two. The mismatch is on the perimeter, not the block: shoot over the smaller defender, or take one dribble past them. The window is right after the switch, before their feet are set. Big closes out: The screener's defender refuses to drop and closes out all the way to the arc. A defender that far out is a rim with nobody in front of it. Shot-fake and drive past, or re-screen immediately: nobody covers that distance twice in a row at the same speed.

掩护人不顺下，而是外弹到空位投篮区，惩罚防守收缩。Instead of rolling, the screener pops to open shooting space and punishes a collapsing defense.

跑法总览Action overview

先看挡拆外弹如何完整运转See how the Pick & Pop flows end to end

开始与普通挡拆完全相同：掩护人站定，持球人贴肩突破吸引两名防守者。不同之处在于掩护人不顺下，而是外弹到三分线附近的空位，接回传直接投篮或发起第二次进攻。It begins exactly like a normal ball screen: the screener sets, the handler attacks off the shoulder and occupies two defenders. Instead of rolling, the screener pops out to open perimeter space, catching the return pass for a shot or a second attack.

Wing pick-and-pop

Roll-to-pop counter
掩护人先向篮下走两步带走协防，再急停外弹接球投篮。The screener sells two steps of roll to drag the help low, then snaps back out for the catch.

防守怎么守How it is guarded

怎么防守挡拆外弹？How do you defend the Pick & Pop?

每一种守法都要放弃一点东西，问题只是放弃哪一点。下面是常见的几种，以及它们各自留下的口子。Every coverage gives something up; the only question is what. These are the common ones and the opening each of them leaves.

沉退Drop

掩护人的防守者退守篮筐，把外线交给正在追防的队友。The screener's defender sinks to protect the rim and leaves the perimeter to the teammate chasing behind.

进攻怎么打：What beats it: 外弹存在的理由就是这套防守。掩护完成后直接后撤到弧顶接球投篮，防守他的人此时正站在禁区里，来不及。This coverage is the reason the pop exists. Pop straight back behind the arc after the screen: the defender who should contest is standing in the paint and cannot get there.

换防Switch

两人交换对位，外弹的人由原来防持球的小个来防。The defenders trade, so the popper is now guarded by the smaller of the two.

进攻怎么打：What beats it: 错位在外线而不是内线：直接从他头上投，或者一步把他晃开往篮下走。防守换过来的那个人还没站稳，这一步是最好的时机。The mismatch is on the perimeter, not the block: shoot over the smaller defender, or take one dribble past them. The window is right after the switch, before their feet are set.

跟出封投Big closes out

掩护人的防守者不退守，直接跟着外弹一路封到三分线外。The screener's defender refuses to drop and closes out all the way to the arc.

进攻怎么打：What beats it: 封出来就意味着篮下没人。接球假投一步过掉他，或者立刻再做一次掩护——同一个人连续两次跑这么远的距离，第二次一定慢。A defender that far out is a rim with nobody in front of it. Shot-fake and drive past, or re-screen immediately: nobody covers that distance twice in a row at the same speed.

容易混淆的动作Often confused with

挡拆外弹和哪些动作容易混？What is the Pick & Pop often confused with?

下面这些动作和它长得像，但解决的问题不同。每一条只说那个决定性的区别。These look like it and solve a different problem. Each entry names the one difference that decides which is which.

挡拆外弹 vs 挡拆Pick & Pop vs Pick & Roll: 顺下把内线防守人拉向篮筐，外弹把他拉离篮筐。所以两者对空间的要求正好相反：顺下需要底角有人站住，外弹需要禁区暂时空着。The roll pulls the big defender toward the rim; the pop pulls them away from it. Their spacing needs are opposite for that reason: the roll wants shooters pinned in the corners, the pop wants the lane briefly empty.
挡拆外弹 vs 短顺下Pick & Pop vs Short roll: 被夹击时的第三条路。掩护人既不顺到篮下也不弹到三分线，而是停在罚球线附近接球，站在四打三的中枢位置上做决定。它防的是夹击，外弹防的是沉退。The third option, and the answer to a blitz. The screener neither rolls to the rim nor pops to the arc but stops around the free-throw line and makes the decision from the middle of a four-on-three. The short roll beats a blitz; the pop beats a drop.
