Pressure Release --- Forward-Guard

If the ballhandler can't pitch the ball up the floor or revese it G to G, then the weak side Forward should flash into the middle of the floor looking to run Forward-Guard.

On the catch by the F, the F will look for the non-ballhandling G cutting to the basket (the passing G will follow his pass and balance the floor).  While this is going on the C will back screen off the block for the strong side F to also thrust toward the basket.

The F can pass to the G cutting or the F off the screen.  If both players are covered, the F can usually throw over to the Center who has back screened and popped.

The F will now stack screen for the original G coming back out for a shot.  If the C passes to the G then the C will screen back down and we are back to LP.
