Here's where our other R&R rules come into play in an interesting way, continuing the action from the diagram above.

4 has cycled up to fill the point after 1's cut, but 4's defender denies the pass from 2 to 4 hard.

What does 4 do? Well, you'll notice that 4's defender is now over the read line (which they'd have to be if they were going to deny this pass, as long as WE have the correct spacing) - so 4 simply plants their foot and back cuts hard into the lane. 2 should be able to hit them with an easy bounce pass for a layup.

Non-verbal communication is key here. 2 should check out how the defender is playing the play (as opposed to staring at 4), and 4 should watch 2's body language.

If the defender overplays and the 4 doesn't realize it, 2 can both signal a back cut AND sucker the defender by making a pass-fake out to the point. 2 could also yell 'OVER' and make wide eyes to communicate that the defender is overplaying, something 4 may or may not be able to see for themselves.
