Initiate with a Top Dodge: Start the play by executing a dodge from up top. This move aims to pull the defensive, creating space and drawing attention away from other potential threats.
Quick Ball Movement to X: Immediately after the dodge, get the ball moving to behind the goal. This quick transition requires the defense to shift their focus and reposition, which can cause momentary confusion and misalignment.
Backside Cut Coordination: As the ball reaches X, initiate a backside cut from up top from where things were initiated. This timing is crucial as it exploits the defensive gaps created by their shift in focus to the ball behind the goal.
Seal Pick on the Crease: This action is designed to obstruct the defensive players’ path, further opening up space for the cutter moving towards the goal. The shift of the ball to the other side and being the first slide combined with the seal can be a lot to handle for a crease defensemen.
