Call 54 Rub when you want to attack a post defense with simultaneous action on both blocks. Your 4 sets the screen to free up 2 cutting hard to the right low post, while 5 immediately pins the other side so 4 can slip down for a second-side touch. You get two threats in the paint off one quick sequence, forcing the defense to guard both.
