This quick-hitting SLOB was famously used by Coach Ettore Messina to secure a victory against Bayern Munich with just 1.2 seconds on the clock. This is a ghost-action deception play. Multiple movements freeze the defense. No real screen happens. Advantage appears instantly.
Ettore Messina’s brilliance here lies in “Cross-Action” psychology. By having two players (#1 and #2) cross the face of the defense at high speeds, you overload the human brain’s ability to communicate switches. The “Ghost Screen” simply walks through the front door while the defense is looking out the window.
