Idk the full situation, just based on my experience as back court brutal beast back then.
In my case, im just a wild rampaged beast smashing all the shot endlessly forcing my way through my opponent defense. Well, that work quite well on lower level but the higher the level, no matter how deadly my smash, it never end in 1-3 strike. Tho sometimes it works but it will drain my stamina alot making 2nd round imposible to catch on.
Today i play more brain instead of brawl. I vary my shot more between my aim & power output making the opponent harder to anticipate & time his counter. The resultif works much more effective than pure brute & much more efficient in term of stamina consumption.
So probably its not you who need to think to rescue your partner but instead its your partner which need to think his strategy.
Some think back court is big hitter role for bombardment but i would disagree partially as from my view, backcourt player is he who see all so he play the role to control the games. The direction of play, the pace, & all. Front player is literally an assassin. Wait for opportunity, setup a trap, & when the moment come, pop up & kill.
