The difficulty of dribbling under crotch is slightly higher than in front of body, this can be understood as dribbling obliquely in front of body. The difference is that front lead landing point is directly in front of body, while perineal lead landing point is under perineum. Stepping leads can connect front leads and rear leads, and it is a bridge between front and rear leads. Of course, it is also possible to connect rear leads and front leads without going through crotch lead. Because sometimes crotch connection will take step slower and defender will have enough time to react.
