Blocked Scissor sweep to triangle.
Detailed analysis below.
. Old school combination.
For the scissor position, it is preferable to get a deep lapel grip. It makes the pull on the neck and shoulders stronger and helps to break the posture more effectively. This deep grip also opens some other attacks (like the cross choke).
For the other hand, I choose to grip a little above the elbow. It makes for a stronger pull (while compromising his wrist being free). I want a stronger pull if I want to sweep him (or triangle him).
As I get to the scissor position, he grabs my pants / belt / gi and puts his weight back. I want to pull him to me, so he pushes off of me.
I take my left leg and place it on his hip.
I have a good control on one of his hands. That means thats I need to isolate the other, for the triangle. I want to break his grip and get his hand between my legs (as a rule of thumb, for the triangle you need 1 hand between your leg). Since 3 of my limbs are occupied, I use my free leg to break the grip. I push my shin into his bicep, meanwhile extending my left foot on his hip. It extends him, takes him out of balance and makes it difficult for him to base and start defending. Once I pushed his hand back I want to kick my leg over his neck. To get the best angle, I need to push myself with my left foot, while extending him and move from my left shoulder, flat on my back, almost 90 degrees to him (just like the angle needed to complete an armbar from the guard). The left leg extends, the right leg pushes his neck (to break posture and help me create the angle) and both of my arms are pulling towards me. Every limb is working together to get a tight triangle without having to re-adjust. Remember, the scissor position is on your shoulder, completely on your side, while the triangle is flat on your back. You need to get there for the triangle.
