combination shot
Sequential pocket play
A combination shot is a billiards or pool shot where the cue ball strikes one object ball, which then hits another ball into a pocket: He sank the eight ball on a tricky combination shot.
The term extends to basketball for a shot that bounces off the backboard before going through the hoop, and to any complex maneuver combining multiple elements in sequence.
