up-and-under

Feint then layup

An up-and-under is a high kick in rugby or Australian rules football, designed to travel vertically rather than for distance, giving teammates time to chase and contest the ball when it comes down: He launched an up-and-under into the box.

In basketball, an up-and-under is a post move where a player fakes a shot, waits for the defender to jump, then steps through for a layup.
