  1. 1 has the ball at the top, 2 starts on the right wing with a defender.

  3. 2 plants the inside foot and explodes back out to the wing.
  4. Show a target hand, catch and square up to the rim.

Coaching tips

A sharp V, not a lazy U: change speed and direction in one step. Catch with your feet ready to shoot, pass or drive.
