Press Break vs Diamond

A 1-2-1-1 diamond wants to trap the first catch on the sideline, so the break is built to get the ball off that sideline immediately. The middle man flashes to the ball, the catch in the middle turns the press into a four-on-three, he throws ahead up the far sideline and the long man is already running to the rim.
