抢下球后第一时间把球交到中路推进，两翼沿边线全速前插占据两侧宽位；持球人推进到罚球线附近吸引最后一名防守者，传给前方两翼终结，拖车跟进作为第二波。

Off the rebound the ball goes to the middle immediately and the wings sprint the sidelines wide. The handler pushes to the foul line to occupy the last defender before hitting a wing ahead, with trailers following as the second wave.
