Use Cov Cath to attack the weak side with a back screen and a hard cut to the perimeter. Your five passes and immediately screens on the left wing, springing the four to the right perimeter for a catch-and-shoot opportunity. Call it when you need to get your corner shooter a quick look off a screen.
