Chapter 789: Gradual Loss of Confidence

Leonard's freewheeling shooting action shocked James's heart, but then he was relieved.

It's just the same action, and it doesn't mean that he can throw it too.

If Leonard can shoot like Qin Yan, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the Heat.

But that's obviously unlikely, at least not this season.

Because of Leonard's main defensive characteristics, after he came up, to be honest, the Spurs' offensive ability has declined, after all, Leonard's three-point is not as good as Green's, and if he shoots, James personally defends it, and the threat is not particularly big.

But the rise of their defensive intensity perfectly made up for this shortcoming, and the Heat and Spurs entered a state of "scoring drought" for a while, and within two or three minutes, although you and I played back and forth very understandingly, they just didn't score.

James is very anxious, now the Spurs' lineup scoring ability is not strong, don't take the opportunity to score more points at this time, what if their main scoring point comes up in a while?

But with Spurs' level of defense, scoring is not a simple matter.

Yes, he can force Leonard to break through, but this kind of strong eating speed is not fast enough, the Spurs always have someone to interfere with him in time at the last moment, James forced a few breakthroughs, except for wasting the right to shoot and physical strength, there is no other gain.

What the? Passing assists after a breakaway?

God, James didn't think about it, but in this lineup, Ray Allen, who is the most sure, will not be let go, and the rest of the people, even if James passes, they may not be able to score.

Don't do this kind of wasted opportunity.

As for the Spurs, it is true that Ginobili is the main attacker, but after all, he is also old, and the Heat's current stubborn defense also makes him very uncomfortable.

Ginobili is like that, let alone the others, so the Spurs are now in a scoring drought with the Heat.

And every time it's like that, you have to have a star step up and open up the situation for your team.

Of course, the Heat is James, although it is very annoying to be entangled by Leonard, but after all, James's level is there, even if he is entangled by Leonard now, James's strength is still there.

Another strong breakthrough, this time James was hanging two people and forced a layup, which was not a face-saving person for the Spurs, and the forced layup directly caused a foul, of course, this layup was scored in the end.

"2+1", James directly completed a "2+1" and helped the Heat open up the situation.

"It's so strong!"

Leonard didn't say it, but he was scolding in his heart.

The breakthrough just now, James had Leonard and Ginobili who came over to make up for the defense, and he could still score hard!

There's no way around it, it's not that our army is too incompetent, but that the enemy army is too strong, and we can't hang three people on someone next time, right?

James went to the free throw line, and Qin Yan on the sidelines had already come to the technical table, but because it was not a dead ball now, Qin Yan had no way to play.

With a deep breath, James took the ball thrown by the referee, tapped it twice and then shot, and he was still very confident that he would score a free throw.

Very muscular players don't shoot free throws well because they're too aggressive, but obviously James isn't on that list, and this guy has always had a pretty high free-throw percentage.

But today, God seems to have played a little joke on him.

The basketball flew into the basket smoothly, but instead of falling directly, it spun around the hoop several times and flew out!

I'll go, what the hell?!

James was shocked, how could this ball fly out?

But he can only step back quickly, because the Spurs have already taken this flying ball and are ready to counterattack.

Because the Heat broke the scoring drought first, the Spurs must score this offense, otherwise, the Heat may take the opportunity to open up the difference.

It was Ginobili who played this goal, after all, in the current lineup, when it comes to offense, apart from him, it is Maddie.

But Maddy's interest in scoring has dropped a lot since he switched to point guard, and now Maddy, he prefers to pass good assists.

So Ginobili can only come by himself, a European step changes direction, Ginobili directly past Jones, and directly rush to the Heat inside!

Of course, the Heat were very attentive to Ginobili, Ray Allen rushed back to defend, and even James stepped back a little inside.

According to this posture, if Ginobili continues to rush inside, then what awaits him is likely to be a big hat that splits his head and face.

At this moment, James suddenly found that Leonard, who was originally defending himself, suddenly began to run!

Well? What is this guy going to do?

James suddenly felt that something was in trouble, so he abandoned Ginobili and quickly chased after Leonard.

However, Leonard is now like the wind under his feet, constantly changing his route, and James has no way to catch up with him for a while!

Swinging left and right, Leonard quickly changed direction, like a leaf swaying in the wind, and soon ran from the inside of the Heat back to the outside!

"Kehuai!"

And at this time, Ginobili happened to burst into the Heat's basket, and he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Leonard had run out, so he also shouted, and at the same time threw the ball out with his backhand!

Not good!

James understands what this is for, Leonard is very famous for his running shooting this year, and now this scene is clearly running shooting!

It turns out that Ginobili is just a decoy, and it is Leonard who is really ready to shoot!

Catch the ball, shoot!

Leonard is no slower than Ray Allen, which allows him to easily avoid most defenses.

"Huh!"

It was a clean goal, but it was a bit of a shame that it was a long two-point rather than a three-pointer.

"Beautiful!"

Qin Yan applauded at the technical desk, and now Leonard really has the characteristics of a "cold-faced killer", and his running shots are no longer lost to Hamilton back then.

James frowned, the Spurs were already in trouble, and now this facial paralysis who could only defend has mastered this running shot, which is even more difficult to do.

Able to attack and defend, stable in state, harmonious atmosphere, such a team with almost no weaknesses, can he really beat?

At least for now, James is really a little discouraged.
