STEP 1

We perform 5vs0 waves toward the opposite basket, but the last player/receiver must finish with a shot.
The first 2 players to touch the ball (diagram 1 and 3) are responsible for securing the defensive rebound, so they must arrive first.
The other 2 players work on offensive rebounding.

STEP 2

If the finish is a made basket, we fight for the rebound. If the defense secures it, they attack the opposite side with the shooter.
Work on 3vs2 numerical advantages
If the rebound is secured by the offense, they attack the same basket until there is a score or the ball goes to the defense.
The game becomes 2vs2, with the shooter acting as an outside support

STEP 3

Point guard changes location seeking advantage over the defender and scoring opportunities. 4 places themselves strategically to generate passing angles and anticipate defensive moves. 3 alters position to create defensive mismatches and penetration options.
