Getting the Ball Under Control 

Jordi Badia (Lleida Nº64) finds himself in a complicated situation. He’s being pushed on 7 and is facing the wall. After a few stops and fakes, Badia manages to create some distance from his defender.

Making the Space 

If we take a snapshot of the video at 3:45 on the wide take, we can see how Lleida is supporting Badia. There are two players in the middle, on both the weak side and strong side (we can only guess the one on the strong side due to the defender's positioning), and Nico Ojeda (Lleida Nº55) is at 9. If we split the floor in half, Ojeda is on the weak side. All Lleida players give Badia the space he needs to figure out his next move.
