In Square A2 attacker A dribbles to commit defender C with a dribble numbered 1, defender C starts trying to jump the passing lane to attacker B. This reaction by defender C to the run by attacker B creates the difference in Square A3.

In Square A3 attacker A recognizes that defender C has moved to prevent the pass and chooses to dribble rather than pass the ball. This dribble is numbered with a 1. This dribble is allowed because the illusion of the Double Pass Pattern and the attempt by defender C to stop it from occurring.
