中路挡拆发生的同时，第三名队员（通常是射手）埋伏在罚球线附近，对顺下人的防守者做背掩护，然后立即外弹到弧顶。防守必须同时处理持球突破、无人盯防的顺下和外弹三分三重威胁。

While a middle ball screen unfolds, a third player lurking near the foul line back-screens the roller's defender, then immediately pops to the top. The defense must handle the drive, the freed roller, and the popping shooter all at once.
