- dribbling to commit defender

-1st attacker uses 2nd attacker to combine or as a decoy

-2nd attacker must support

-combination selection

-recognize supporting player movements 

-open body shape angle/diagonal option 

-supporting player must be patient (width vs make a run behind the defense block)

-observe defenders body shape in order to go 2v1 or go 1v1
