4 stationary attackers and three defenders. Attackers should pass fake as soon as they get the ball, it freezes the defence but also slows down the attackers and allows them to see who's open and who isn't. A pass fake has to sell the defence, be discernible, deliberate, not hyper-speed.
The defence should pressure the ball, not just mirror it, make the ballhandler back off his spot (travel) and have to force a pass. If an attacker throws away the ball, give it back to him.
Continue, then switch defence and offence.
