Kawhi Leonard, the No. 15 rookie that the Spurs traded George Hill for the Pacers in '11, was the highest-pick pick the Spurs got after Duncan before Qin Yan arrived.

In the original history, Leonard, with his own efforts, the help of his big brothers and the appreciation of his coach, gradually changed from a defensive player who did the dirty work to an all-round superstar on offense and defense.

And the timing of his rise began after he played against James in the Finals and imposed a certain degree of restriction on James.

Since then, the champion, FMVP, best defensive player, Leonard began his counterattack road, entered the top 5 of the league's superstar list, and also became the new brother of the Spurs after Duncan. It's a pity that he was injured at the feet of an inauthentic player in the end.

Well, of course, that's according to the original historical trajectory.

But now, because of the variable of Qin Yan, everything is different.

Qin Yan, born in the list of eyes, can win 25+5+5 gods in his rookie season, the second season of his career is the MVP Grand Slam, and in the third season, he scored 88 points in a single game, setting a new active scoring record, and he is very good, and he is the best candidate to be the boss.

If it is said that in the first season, Popovich planned to form a dual-core model of Qin Yan and Leonard, but after the second season and the third season, Qin Yan has invisibly established his identity as the boss, as for Leonard, he will be the second brother of the team, and in the future, it is very likely that he will become a greater second-in-command than Pippen.

To say that Leonard doesn't care at all, it must be fake, but in terms of personal strength, he really can't beat Qin Yan, although he has been one-on-one with Qin Yan for three years, but Leonard and Qin Ya singled out 10 balls, and the score never exceeded 10:6, of course, this may also be related to Leonard's strong defense and weak attack.

However, his improvement is very obvious, because Qin Yan has more and more time to score 10 goals in his hands.

However, Leonard has an introverted personality and is not very willing to fight for anything, and the relationship with Qin Yan is really good, so he also accepted the arrangement of being the second master.

Anyway, when the sky falls, with Qin Yan in front of him, Leonard himself doesn't have to bear so much pressure, how good is this.

LeBron James, the most talented existence in the NBA draft after the 21st century, is extremely muscular, obviously an outside line, but has the strength not to lose to the inside, since the first day he entered the league, he has been "someone else's child", and he has cramps when he wins awards.

If the original historical trajectory is followed, he will defend his title with the Heat, and then return to the Cavaliers to win another championship to complete self-redemption.

However, also because of Qin Yan's existence, James's hope of defending the title was dashed, and he fell under the iron hooves of the Spurs in the finals for two consecutive years, plus the one in 07, the Spurs are now firmly seated in the title of James' nemesis.

Therefore, the appearance of Qin Yan has changed the life trajectories of both of them.

This time the attack, the Spurs gave Qin Yan unexpectedly.

James blocked Qin Yan's breakthrough route, and then slowly exhaled a breath, to be honest in a one-on-one situation, the current James is not 100% sure of preventing Qin Yan from death.

Qin Yan took the ball, and then looked at James in front of him, who had almost no flaws, he also had a headache.

In the past three years, James has also become stronger and stronger, probably fighting more and more times with Qin Yan, and now in the face of Qin Yan's breakthrough, James also has his own experience.

That is, just ignore Qin Yan's dribbling and stare at his whole person.

Because if he stared at the ball, Qin Yan's dribbling skills would dazzle him.

However, Qin Yan didn't play tricks this time, just changed direction under the two crotches, and then accelerated the strong burst, and as soon as his body made contact with James, he immediately jumped back, and at the same time threw the ball high.

"Bastard!"

James was deceived into jumping up and blocking, of course, he couldn't touch this pass, but Qin Yan's fake casting and real pass tricks made him feel unhappy.

The basketball was thrown high, and the target was naturally Whiteside on the inside, and the big white side was ready to take off.

"Up!"

Whiteside flew, but this time there was one more person who flew with him, and that was Monroe of the Knights.

"I won't let you empty it so easily!"

Although Monroe's pure bounce power is not as good as Whiteside's, jumping together like this does squeeze a lot of space, making it difficult for Whiteside to catch empty.

But now Whiteside is not the stupid big man who can only dunk at the beginning, although he is not a technical person, but at close range, whether on the ground or in the air, Whiteside has a unique hand.

The big hand reached out, lightly slapped the ball in the air, changed the direction of the ball before Monroe's interference came up, and successfully sent the ball into the basket!

"Back to the defense!"

As soon as Qin Yan saw that the assist was in hand, he turned around and ran, not giving the knight a chance to run a fast attack.

The Cavaliers attacked again, and this time, Irving didn't dribble the ball, but gave it to James.

James held the ball and attacked forward, and after half the court, he was suddenly surprised to find that the person defending him was not Qin Yan, but Leonard!

What the heck? Let your dick guard against me? He's the best defensive player of the year, but shouldn't it be big bosses vs. big bosses right now?

James was a little unhappy, he felt that he was being underestimated again, so this time he simply waved at Leonard and motioned for a heads-up.

Since your team trusts you so much, then I'll blow you up!

Leonard is a little smaller than James, but his muscle lines are definitely not lost, and there is no problem in carrying it for a while, not to mention that he likes to defend with some long arms and big hands, and he likes to defend James the most.

Wave your arms and Death Coil is activated!

James instantly felt a lot of pressure, this guy deserves to be the best defensive player this year, this move is more powerful than in previous years.

No, James can only protect the ball sideways, and if he doesn't protect it, he will be broken.

"Tsk, you're very difficult!"

Protecting the ball with his back and turning to break through, James' continuous breakthroughs had no effect, Leonard could hold the first step of James' breakthrough, and his hands were always on the path of James' dribbling.

“……”

Leonard is basically speechless on the court, but judging by his serious expression, he is not easy either.

"It's me who wins!"

The offensive time is consuming, and James is not wasting his physical strength, he suddenly turns around, squeezes Leonard behind him, and then strides out, and is ready to go to the basket with three steps!

However, he underestimated Leonard's determination to defend him and his long arms, and in order to prove his strength to the people, Leonard was ready to give his all from the first encounter today!

"Smack!"

Although it wasn't the kind of ball that was shot hard, Leonard's fingers still rubbed against the basketball! Forcing the basketball to lose the motivation to keep flying! The rebound was also taken by Whiteside!

"Tsk."

James hurriedly ran back, he was careless just now, and he was actually capped.

In the first round of the two fights, Leonard wins!

"Okay, you."

Qin Yan didn't expect Leonard to be able to cap James on the first shot, and went up to pat him on the back to encourage him.

Leonard was expressionless, as if he had done something insignificant, and then, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Yan first, and then at the knight's half.

Qin Yan understood that meaning.

"My defensive mission is complete, and the next offense is up to you."
