In phase three, slide your elbow on the diagonal towards yourself, while attacking the opponent's fingers. It's a large error to first slide your elbow and only then attack fingers.

For beginners, raise your finger to understand and remember the right track for the movement. It's also very important to stiffen your fingers while side pressuring your opponent.
