Russia ran this middle pick-&-roll action against Belgium in their second game at FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017.
The slice (shuffle screen) and screen-the-screener action is decoy to force the defense to move before getting into a middle pick-&-roll attack. As soon as 1 catches the ball from 2 up top, 5 turns around and sprint immediately into a ball-screen. As 5 rolls to the basket 2 "shakes" behind to create a single-side bump. 1 has option of passing to 5 rolling or 2 lifting behind for shot.
If X5 is late recovering, 5 rolls into a post-up and receives the post feed from 2 (off of the triangle passing from 1).
Another option is to have 4 "short" the pick-&-roll if X5 hard hedges.
