(You are dribbling with your right hand)
1. When the situation allows, begin dribbling and burst forward and towards the right sideline with full speed. Pay close attention to your opponent¡¯s position.
2. Your opponent will most probably be on your left, trying to overtake you with speed and block your way. (In this case, it is very easy for him to give you too much space on the left side without noticing) As soon as you find him more than a meter away from you. While maintaining good balance, push light with your right leg to your forward left, land with your left leg on your forward left and perform a quick between-the-legs crossover plus a should fake at the same time
3. At this point, your opponent¡¯s ankle is taking some big damage while he tries to regain his balance. The ball is now in your left hand. Pull the ball up and backward as the ball bounces up.
4. Stay still and delay for 0.5-1 second and let your opponent regain his balance (It¡¯s because a worthy opponent will not be easily embarrassed by the quick, small cross like the one above. The first small cross creates the environment for the second cross). Pay attention to your opponent¡¯s left leg.
5. As soon as you see your opponent push hard with HIS left leg to recover his
position back on the right, push hard with YOUR left leg to move to your right.
In the meantime, perform the killer crossover in front and you are on the loose!

Great perception on your opponent
Applicability 8/10
You must gain some speed before you can unleash this weapon. It works the best
in a full court situation when there is a fast break.
Flexibility 9.5/10
This is essentially a more fancy, and advanced stop-and-go game with the
changing of the direction. When to stop and when to go are all at your
discretion.
Flash-ability 9.5/10
Two is always better than one. Two crossovers may give two busted ankles and two
times the chance to make your opponent fall flat on his face, literally!
