(Variation) - after a made basket, 1 just gets to the outlet spot.

1 gets the inbounds pass foul-line extended with space to the sideline.

4 gets opposite the ball, weakside 3 flashes.

5 goes to the block opposite whichever side the ball is on, he needs to stretch the defence, his teammates can play 4 on 4.

See Press breaks - 1-Up (denial counters), 2-1-2 (2-2-1 variation, 3 stays weakside).

1's looks are sideline-middle-back (S-M-B).

If no is guarding him he can bring it on the dribble.

On reversal to 4, he advances the ball, 3 gets out, 2 flashes.

Matt Hackenberg - 2-up press breaker - if we reverse the ball back to the inbounder, we make our windshield wiper cuts (2 middle, 3 sideline), to the soft spots vs. zones.

See Press breaks - Hackenberg 2-up.

3 is ready to come back and meet the ball.

4's looks are sideline, middle, back.

On a pass to 1, he has to be ready to advance the ball fast with the dribble or pass, he can't just tip-toe across halfcourt and let them trap him.
