把底角、短角和高位同时压到联防的同一侧，让一名区域防守者必须照顾两个人；球先转到侧翼牵动联防移动，随后喂给站在防守视线后的短角，或跨场转移到弱侧空位投篮。

Load the corner, short corner, and high post onto one side of the zone so a single defender must cover two players. Swing the ball to the wing to shift the zone, then feed the short corner hiding behind the defense or skip to the open weak side.
