侧翼传球启动后,肘区队员为弱侧外线队员做背掩护,被掩护人沿对角线切向篮筐寻找直接得分;随后另一名队员为背掩护人做下掩护,背掩护人上提接球形成第二威胁。

A wing pass triggers an elbow back screen for the weak-side perimeter player, who shuffle-cuts diagonally to the rim for a direct score. A down screen then frees the original back-screener popping to the top as the second option.
