• When the attacker is stopped by a defender, he passes the ball to the outside and cuts to the basket, via the baseline he mans a free spot in the corner.
• When a drive is initiated, the defense can either go into help defense, which always leaves someone free at the 3-point line. 
• When the defense does not go into help defense, the attackers must run free in order to be able to receive the ball when the driver gets stuck.
• Important is the speed between receiving the ball and the drive. 
• When the defense presses too high a cut to the basket can also be made to get free from his defender.
