I tried to write my first blog post, focusing on how Zalgiris attacks the switch using what I call a "high-seal"
https://medium.com/@francesconanni/attacking-the-switch-zalgiris-kaunas-f958ae3da260
As switching "over" is trending in Europe they're one of the best teams to attack it, by having great timing and execution by theirs bigs
"The concept could be synthesized by saying that the big should be between his defender and the basket, with as much space as possible to receive the lob pass, we’ll call this a “high-seal”, where the defender is stuck on the high-side" ⏬
Great job by Landale here
Accepting the front: "In this clip the switch happens before the ball screen and we see the D trying to front, he doesn’t try to fight with him to get back in front for the catch on the low post, as we saw before he pushes the D as high as possible and clears space for the lob"
