NBA 2K18 Top 10 Plays – Golden State Warriors Part 2
Give 3 Curl
Who you’ll need: Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Andre Igoudala, Shaun Livingston, Patrick McCaw
The play target will be off-ball. Whoever you start the play with, will be the least involved in the play so choose wisely.
To begin the play, you want to pass to the top of the key as soon as your target is under the basket. Then, look for your target as he comes off the down screen by the big. If you ignore this pass or he ends up covered, pass it back to create a handoff opportunity. Additionally, you’ll want to try your best to run into his defender to spring him here.
If you can’t, the target of the play will set a screen for the initial ball handler cutting to the hoop. Then, you can pass it if the defender’s back is turned or serve as an alley oop opportunity. If he’s covered well, the play finishes with a sideline screen with the guy you didn’t call the play for.
Quick 3 Chin
Who you’ll need: Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Patrick McCaw, Nick Young, Klay Thompson
The target of the play will begin off ball. Next, he will receive a double screen to the top of the 3pt line. Now, if you ignore the pass he will receive another screen as he runs to the opposite wing. And lastly, if you ignore this pass, the screener will set up a pick and roll for you.
Quick 2 Circle
Who you’ll need: Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Patrick McCaw, Nick Young
Who you call the play for will begin off ball and accept the initial pass. The next action has the target of the play get a screen running to the corner. If he ends up covered, he’ll get a down screen coming out the other side. Ignoring that pass, sets up the target to get a back screen running to the corner. Lastly, you get a pick and roll to finish off the play.
Zipper 23 Flare
Who you’ll need: Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Patrick McCaw, Nick Young
The target starts off ball and you’ll start the play by passing to the target. This happens as he receives a screen running towards the top of the key regardless if he’s open or not. If he’s not open, wait for the initial ball handler to be right under the basket. Then pass to the opposite wing.
Three scenarios become available:
- Pass it to the guy running towards the corner
- Pass to the guy running towards the opposite corner
- Ignore both and target will get another screen coming back the other way
Give 31 5 Out
Who you’ll need: Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Shaun Livingston, Andre Igoudala,
Whoever you call for play will initiate the it and start by passing it to the top of the key. Then, two pin down screens on both sides of the court will happen.
If you ignore both passes, your target now will receive a screen for a tree-pointer as well. He receives it a little deep in the backcourt, but if you got Curry, let it launch if he has room. Otherwise, it transitions into a pick and roll opportunity. If you have trouble getting open, pass to the guy on the wing. That’ll create a hand off opportunity and opens two scenarios.
- Ignore passing it and you finish the play with a pick and roll
- Pass it and get an Isolation on the empty side of the court.
