On each pass to passers 2 and 3, defender X1 on 1 must jump to the ball (a position to help on dribble penetration by the wing yet recover on a pass back to his check). X1 closes out on each pass to 1. On coach's signal, 1 passes and tries to cut to the basket for a give and go. X1 must jump to the ball, make the cutter go behind him, and deny the pass (open or closed to the ball).

(Variation)

Put an attacker with defender on each wing, coach at the top. 2 passes to coach, X2 jumps to the ball in a gap or deny position, progress to live on that side of the court. 3 and X3 go next with a pass to coach. Can progress to 2 on 2. With coach at the top also work on close-outs and contesting, see e.g., Duke driving line, Villanova 2 on 2 whack-out.
