Use this against a diamond press to systematically cut through all five defenders with layered screening and smart spacing. Your players work in sequence — the ball advances in chunks with each screen springing the next cutter free — until you have a numbers advantage in the front court. When the defense traps or switches, you have a built-in counter every step of the way down the floor.
