Player 1 runs into the circle and if the defender does not approach, player 1 can shoot at goal. Alternatively if the defender approaches, player 1 can play a one two with player 2 and then shoot at goal.
Player 2 needs to run out to make him/her self available for the pass from player 1.
Same practice on the other side of the circle (see h500188an).
- Pass to the baseline should only be made once the defender has been drawn towards the ball carrier
