As the 1-player is about to cross center court, the EZ-R play should
be called loudly, so all the players can hear it.  The 5-player will then
go to the low post position on the right side of the floor.

It is critical that the 1-player dribble to
the outside shoulder of the
defender at the top right of the even zone defense.  This is identified
as (
A).  By dribbling toward the outside shoulder, the defender will be
forced to commit and defend the ball handler.
