In this gameplay scenario, two players initiate the offensive phase by attacking one half of the playing area, while being defended by a single player. Upon successfully scoring, obtaining a rebound after a missed shot, or conceding possession due to a defensive steal, the player in possession must then distribute the ball to the teammate positioned at the wing and execute a swift transition to the opposite half in a counterattack maneuver.
It is imperative that the wings are utilised. It is not advisable for an offensive player to remain at the centre in order to present a challenge to the defence. To increase the difficulty, the number of passes can be limited and/or the bounce can be prohibited.
