bounce off

“I would say a good, like, five seconds,” Addison said Tuesday of a wild play that required the ball to bounce off Barney’s knee before Moore secured it with a last-second lunge at UCLA’s 13-yard line.

"I don’t care if I finish ahead or behind George. I just want to keep the car out of the wall and try to score points for the team. Give me a car that doesn’t bounce off the track and hopefully we can get a better result."

Often that player is a foil to the captain, a different kind of character so the two bounce off and complement each other.

Leclerc is renowned for his self-criticism, and Vasseur is someone he can bounce off.
