1 dribbles to the left wing; 3 cuts to the left corner; 4 cuts to the left wing; 2 cuts to the right perimeter

Call Lob 2 when you want to punish a defender who is cheating on the weak side or playing too high.

The spacing puts the defense in conflict and makes the lob a live threat rather than a desperation heave.
