Wide man (left or right forward) uses a bounce pass with the centre forward to draw the defender in and open up space along the baseline for the wide man to then attack to create an goal-scoring opportunity.
1. Strong accurate pass neccesary from wide forward (man who starts with ball)
2. Strong lead from centre fwd (to get away from defender)
3. Centre fwd should make sure he's drawn defender but also not risk losing possession --> if poss, spend as little time on the ball before bouncing pass back
