球先反转到一侧；弱侧低位队员为底角队友做 Flex 横掩护，切入者贴底线穿过禁区到有球侧低位。随后原传球人再为刚才的掩护人做下掩护，掩护人上提到弧顶接球——即『掩护掩护人』。

The ball is reversed, then the weak-side block player screens across for the corner man, who flex-cuts along the baseline to the ball-side block. The original passer then down-screens for the first screener, who pops to the top—the classic screen-the-screener sequence.

  • No look? Flow straight to the next side

Source-checked common mistakes

Where does this action usually break down?

  • The flex cut and screen-the-screener action lose their timing
  • Forcing the guard-to-guard pass against denial

Defensive read and counter: Backcut or dribble-exchange denial; duck in when defenders switch.
