1. The player at the baseline shot, taps the baseline and runs his line to the other goal.
2. The player at the free throw line takes the rebound, passes to the wing and runs along the sideline to the other goal.
3. The player on the wing requests the ball, dribbles the ball down the middle to the sideline, passes the ball to the player on the left, who passes the ball to the rebounder who finishes with a layup.
