Getting the Ball Back 

Igualada recovers the ball, and the two most advanced players immediately start running, initiating the transition. These players move through the right and middle lanes. Cervera (Igualada Nº2) has a clear 1-on-1 opportunity, but instead decides to involve his teammate, who is in a more advanced position. Roger Bars (Igualada Nº22) executes the play but misses, yet he is the first to regain possession.

Restarting 

After the missed shot, Bars stops in the bottom corner, facing his defender, and takes a moment to observe where his teammates are positioned. Bars opens up to Cervera, who is positioned in 0 but very deep, around area 3. Cervera quickly passes to Marc Rouzé (Igualada Nº7), who is slightly more advanced.
