This secondary break tries to create good spacing for counter attacks: The one on one on the wing + multiple quick options with the second trailer.
The 1 takes one wing for himself. The two guards occupy the other wing and corner. The 4 sprints the basket basket line under the basket. If he doesn't receive the ball he heads to the ball side corner. When the 4 retreats to the corner. The second Trailer (5) sets a down screen for the opposite wing man.
These movements create an advantage for the one to make a quick penetration to the basket. If 1 doesn't attack the 3 man has following options.:
- Shot
- Curl and shot or drive
- If the switch the trailer opens up and steps in to receive the ball under the basket
