PLAY #26: "PHANTOM KICK"

3 SECONDS TO WIN

PLAY INTENT

This is a misdirection SLOB designed to generate a wide-open corner three through an inside-out action. The defense is manipulated into collapsing on a Big Man (#5) slip, only to be punished by a late relocation from your shooter (#2).

FINAL THOUGHT

The most dangerous pass in basketball is the inside-out kick. The defense reacts to the slip, but the shot comes from somewhere else. In late-clock basketball, it’s not  just about creating space; it’s also about forcing the wrong decision.
