Give and Go with Pivot (Pick and Roll Style)
CB passes to the pivot, who immediately returns the ball while using their body as a screen. CB cuts off the screen at full speed to receive the return pass and finish from a penetrating angle. Practices two-player combinations and pick-and-roll timing.

Instructions
- 1CB advances toward PV and delivers a quick pass at the pivot position
- 2PV one-touches the ball back to CB immediately upon receiving
- 3CB cuts hard off PV's body, using PV as a screen against D-CB
- 4WR moves up on the right wing to offer an outlet and stretch the defense
- 5CB receives the return pass in stride with the shooting arm already loaded
- 6CB finishes with a jump shot from a penetrating angle near the 6m line
Coaching Points
- CB passes and immediately cuts — the return pass should arrive before CB slows down
- PV touches the ball to the hand, not the chest — a full catch breaks the rhythm
- CB brushes PV's shoulder on the cut to stay as close to the screen as possible
- PV holds the screen position for one beat after returning the pass to block D-CB
- CB receives the return pass with the shooting arm already loading, not after catching
Common Mistakes
- CB pauses after the initial pass instead of cutting immediately, killing the give-and-go rhythm
- PV catches and holds the ball too long instead of a quick one-touch return
- CB runs wide around PV instead of brushing the shoulder, giving D-CB space to follow
- PV releases the screen too early, allowing D-CB to recover and contest the shot
- Return pass is too far ahead of CB, forcing a reach that disrupts the shooting motion
