2 cuts to the left block; 2 passes to 4; 3 passes to 1

Call this variation when you want to cycle the ball through your bigs and reset your point guard into a scoring position. Your 4 finds 3 on the wing, then 2 triggers a two-pass sequence that lands the ball in 1's hands off a deliberate hold action. You are slowing the pace intentionally to let your 1 receive the ball under control and in space.
