General step-by-step guide to doing a reverse lay-up

• Dribble past your defender with dribbling skills and moves.

• Drive towards the baseline with speed

• pick up the dribble when you are 2 steps from the other side of the rim

• Take the first step, head fake on the normal side, take another half step

• elevate towards the reverse side of the rim

• Fully extend your arm towards the reverse side of the backboard

• Take any impact from your opponent and recover

• Flick your wrist upward and add a spin to the ball so that it spins off the backboard into the hoop

By setting picks for point guards effectively, the offense can easily create the reverse situation. In this case, the defense almost always have help defense on the basketball player going for a reverse. Should this happen, the ball carrier can dish the basketball to the teammate that is left unguarded by the help-defending player. Hence the reverse-dish is a great penetration-assist move.
