Why did they forget about him?

Since there are so many different ways of defending free shots, I have often focused on trying to predict individual behaviour to certain situations, when I am creating my free shots.

This one is one of them. We use three "runners" instead of the usual two on a free shot from the pocket, pretty close to the boards. And it is going to overwhelm the defenders, making them struggle to pick up who they are covering.

This would definitely count as one of the set plays I have had the most success with over time.
