Category	Details
6 Size-up	Kobe White or Anthony Edwards (flick the right stick up twice quickly)
Breakdown Combo	Eric Gordon or Kevin Durant (Marbury is also possible but less preferred)
Escape Move	Shai, Jimmy, Kobe, Normal (Jimmy and Paul George are often used by midi fade spammers, so it's recommended to avoid them)
Behind the Back	Jimmy, Kobe White, Scottie Pippen, Shai, DeMar, Normal, and various other options
Other	Go-to Shot and Hop Jumper must also be set.

· This is a basic combo starting technique used when you have the ball and a defender is pressing you.
· Hold the right stick up briefly until the ball returns to your dominant hand.
· Once the ball is in your dominant hand, move the left stick backward and execute a cross-over with the right stick.
· Pushing the right stick too far forward will result in a small cross, but if entered correctly, the ball will go between your legs.
· This simple move alone can create many 3-point shot opportunities.

· Unlike other escape moves, the Shai Escape produces a bad animation if you hold R2 and cross-over.
· The correct method is to move the stick in the direction of the ball-hand, then continuously move it in the direction of the opposite hand (not a double flick).
· Repeating this motion allows you to fluidly connect to combos and maintain your flow.

· This hop jumper can always only be executed in the direction of the non-dominant hand.
· It can also be used from a triple threat stance, creating quick scoring opportunities.
· For right-handed players: When the ball is in your left hand, hold R2 and hold the right stick diagonally up-left.
· Cancel this animation with an Alonzo Cross.
· After releasing R2, hold the left stick up and execute a cross-over with the right stick.
· If done incorrectly, it will result in a rhythm shot, so you need patience to input the cross lash accurately.

· Misdirection comes in several types, including behind the back, cross, and between the legs.
· Same-hand hedge misdirection (most preferred): Without R2, flick the stick in the direction of the ball-hand, then hold R2 and flick the stick in the direction of the opposite hand. This move is very powerful when added to a combo.
· Behind the back misdirection: Flick the stick in the direction of the opposite hand, then hold R2 and return in the direction of the ball-hand.
· It's important to refer to the controller cam to learn the precise movements.

· Double Behind the Back:
· Start with an explosive behind the back.
· Immediately after the explosive behind the back, flick the right stick up without R2.
· Then, immediately hold R2 and flick the right stick up again to cancel the animation and return to a standing stance.
· Afterward, use another explosive behind the back.
· This move is only possible in the half-court; a different animation will occur in the backcourt.
· Adding a Nutmeg:
· When the ball is in your right hand, move the stick diagonally down-left, then immediately move it left.
· At this point, hold the left stick right to induce an animation that pulls you outside the 3-point line.
· Then, connect the remaining moves.
· If the opponent sags off, you can immediately attempt a stepback shot.

· This move helps you maintain your combo while retreating to create space.
· The L2 button is key; you must hold L2 before starting the move.
· Setup: Hold L2 and R2, then execute a snatchback.
· Once you see the ball cross to the opposite hand, release R2, then hold L2 and move backward.
· Pay attention to the stick angle for accurate input.
· After this move, you can connect other moves or attempt a 3-point shot (quick quick stop effect).

· The spin is most effective when the ball is in your dominant hand.
· When the ball is in your left hand (non-dominant hand): Hold R2 and flick the right stick up to start.
· After flicking the right stick up, continue holding R2 and hold the left stick to the right.
· Then, hold the right stick down to induce the hop jumper animation.
· Afterward, you can spin or attempt a stepback shot to create scoring opportunities.
