Use this to burn clock and keep running your post through clean entries with perimeter movement that drags defenders out of position. Your one and three cycle through screens on the wing to stay occupied and keep the defense honest, then the ball works back to your four in the post for a controlled attack. Call it in the fourth quarter when you have the lead and need quality possessions, not rushed shots.
