1-2-3 Backcourt Combination

Instructions

1. 1LB starts with the ball and passes to CB at center while advancing
2. 2CB receives and immediately distributes to RB on the right
3. 3As RB receives, LB cuts diagonally toward the left 9m zone
4. 4RB sends a quick return pass to the cutting LB
5. 5LB catches with forward momentum and finishes with a jump shot

Coaching Points

• LB: begin your cut to goal the moment RB touches the ball
• Every touch should have purpose — scan before you receive
• RB: redirect the ball in one touch, don't re-grip and re-aim
• The shooter must arrive at 9m in motion, never stationary
• Count the passes aloud in training to build automatic rhythm

Common Mistakes

• LB begins the cut too late and arrives at 9m after the passing sequence is complete
• RB catches the ball, pauses, and re-aims instead of redirecting in one touch
• Passes lack crispness, slowing down the entire combination
• LB shoots from a stationary position instead of attacking the 9m line with momentum
• Players skip scanning and pass blindly, leading to turnovers
