一名内线在球的弱侧低位落位，其余队员按外线规则传切；球先反转制造传入内线的角度，喂球后传球人切入或重新定位，内线单打或根据协防分给外线空位。

One post player sets up on the weak-side block while the perimeter runs motion rules. The ball is reversed to create an entry angle; after the feed the passer cuts or relocates, and the post either scores or kicks out against the help.
