X2 stays somewhat attached on the screen forcing the straight cut
2 catches but with no advantage (matched)
Automatic: MATCHED = TURN
TURN
4 "turns" and sets the on-ball on X2
TAKE
1 passes to 5 and immediately sprints to TAKE the ball
5 gets a wide base and holds ball out, palm up for 1 to TAKE ("put it on a platter")
Automatic = If X1 trails, take and drive
TAKE (Take + Twist)
1 passes to 5 and immediately sprints to TAKE the ball
5 gets a wide base and holds ball out, palm up for 1 to TAKE ("put it on a platter")
Automatic = If X1 goes under, take then 5 "twists" to set on-ball on X1
TWICE
5 sets on-ball for 1, X1 goes over and 5 rolls
1 is unable to get down lane line (perhaps X5 drops and contains or a wing defender helps in)
