I leaned back against the bleachers watching  Kanae screw up a play for the 7th time. 

"No! Ugh look" I got up off the bleachers and walked on to the court. "You need to get this down Nae, we run this play every game bruh" I stressed.

"You are running point remember that, I wont be playing so you are running point." I clapped my hands twice asking for the ball, she passed it to me. 

"Lezley or Tessan is gonna take the ball out and they are gonna give it to you. You gotta bring the ball down, before you get to half court call the play. If you call it too late they wont have time to set up, and you won't be able to see the board to pick an option." I explained. 

"Yeah yeah, I got that part. It's just after I pass to who ever is standing on the free throw line, where do I go?" Kanae asked. 

Since we were the only two in the gym I had to use cones in place of the actually team. Just so Nae would have a visual. 

"Okay go stand on the free throw line" I ordered. 

Kanae stood in front of the cone that was on the free throw line. 

"So boom, Take the ball in, come down , yell SWING SWING, everyone is where they should be, BOOM, pass you the ball" I passed her the ball and backed up a little. 

"You just get out the way, honestly whats suppose to happen is, who ever is standing where you are should turn and see if they can take the shot, but if they cant they gotta shoot the ball back to you, you gotta be ready for that, if they take the shot slowly back up to get back on defense at no point in time should you get stuck fighting for rebounds when you got big ass Tessan, Kiara, and Lezley on the court to rebound, get yah ass back on defense" 

Nae nodded taking up everything I was telling her. "So pretend some big ass girl blocking your shot, turn around and pass the ball back." 

"Okay" Nae faked the shot and then passed me back the ball. 

"This is where option 2 comes in, option 2 only comes in if, option 1, which was the free throw line, cant make the shot or you couldn't pass her the ball because she wasn't open, option 2 is Asia or Alisa with the Three, You swing the ball to cone two. move to cone two" I ordered. 

Kanae ran to the cone on the right side of the Arc

"You pass the ball to who ever is standing there, they fake the shot pass, it back, and make a sharp cut to the far left of the arc." 

"Okay, so pass" Nae asked for the ball, I passed it to her. 

"Fake" She faked the shot. "Pass back, and run waaaaay over here?" Nae passed me the ball and ran to the left side of the arc. 

"Yes but you don't gotta worry about that, right now I am were you should be, so once that person fakes and passes you the ball you swing left to the person on cone three." 

I dribbled to cone three which was at the left top of the arc. 

"This person is option 2, while you was swinging to the right this person is supposed to be set up and ready to take the shot as soon as the ball hit them." 

"Okay so, option two is, free throw couldn't get the shot in so I get the ball back, swing right. pass, fake shot, get ball back and swing left. Left takes the shot, I back up for defense."
