Leonard has continued to improve this season and now ranks first on the Spurs team with 17 points per game, along with seven rebounds and four assists. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the defensive end, Leonard already has the call for the best defensive player, and in the eyes of expert media and fans who know the ball, the Spurs can still rank in the top eight in the West this season when most of the players are in poor shape, and a large part of it is supported by Leonard.

In last season's finals, Leonard showed an extremely strong defense, even better than Liu Ren remembered! It seems that after being stimulated by Liu Ren, he worked hard to become stronger!

Liu Ren broke through with the ball.

Leonard is in full swing, and unlike defending James, it is more difficult for Leonard to defend Liu Ren than to defend James!

After all, James, as the core of the team, the most important thing is not to score by himself, but to drive the team's offense, and he has to play as the core of the organization, there are many things to consider and a lot to do.

There are too many things to pay attention to and things to do, and there will be a lot more holes, Leonard is not saying that he can really defend James one-on-one, but he can use James's weaknesses to target defense.

And now that Leonard has met Liu Ren, he has found that it is useless to think carefully about any schemes!

Liu Ren is heading for the basket! He made it clear that he wanted to score.

For such a player, when defending, you can only defend with real knives, not that you step back and defend to block him in the position where he usually shoots less, Leonard believes that no matter what position he is, as long as Liu Ren is given a gap, Liu Ren will definitely shoot directly.

After so many encounters, Leonard already has some experience in defending Liu Ren...... Don't hesitate!

When Liu Ren made a breakthrough move, Leonard intercepted Liu Ren's breakthrough route for the first time.

But!

Liu Ren's action of preparing to shoot the ball to the ground suddenly stopped, and he used Maddie's signature move, feint to dribble and pull out!

Leonard hurriedly pounced, Liu Ren's three points this season have become one of the four nightmares in the league!

Curry, Thompson, Lillard and Liu Ren are the four people with the strongest three-point shooting ability this season!

Just when Leonard jumped high and wanted to interfere with Liu Ren's shooting, he saw the banter in Liu Ren's expression!

It's still a feint!

Liu Ren's feet are not off the ground! He slapped the ball under Leonard's crotch and went around Leonard to the inside!

Wear the crotch!

Liu Ren took advantage of Leonard's great importance to him, and played a good trick on the other party!

Leonard felt the 10,000-point crit again, but he didn't give up, and quickly chased after landing on the ground.

Sure enough, his teammates did not disappoint Leonard, and Danny Green, who defended Kobe, decisively made up for it at the first time.

"Well done Danny! Liu won't pass it on to Kobe......" Leonard just had this idea in his heart, and then he froze.

Liu Ren immediately passed the ball the moment Danny Green caught it, and the pass was to Kobe!

When Danny Green went to wrap Liu Ren, Kobe Bryant immediately came to the left 45-degree angle mid-range, his most comfortable shooting position, and shot the ball into the basket without hesitation.

"This coach said something different!" Danny Green exclaimed in his heart!

Before the game, Popovich's arrangement was that when Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant held the ball, they could decisively give up defending the person who did not hold the ball, because there would be no pass between the two!

Rumors from the outside world and the arrangement of the coach, the Spurs players are convinced of this!

But what is the situation now?

Was it an accident?

The players on Spurs' side are not sure if it was an accident.

Maybe it's just the beginning? The Spurs players thought so, after all, things were so big before.

And Leonard's expression was not much surprised, in his opinion, whether Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren have a conflict has nothing to do with him at all, his opponent in this game is only Liu Ren!

Spurs attack.

Parker advanced to the front court with the ball and handed the ball to Leonard.

The biggest difference between Leonard this season and previous seasons is that he gradually took the ball into his own hands.

At the beginning of the season, Popovich was a little hesitant and always gave the ball to Dio.

But later I found out that Dior was really bad, maybe he didn't have the heart after winning the championship, maybe he was really old, or maybe he was too arrogant, and he began to focus on his own personal attack, and the team's attack became far worse than before.

At this time, Leonard took the initiative to organize the team's offense, and Popovich unexpectedly found that Leonard's organizational ability has improved greatly after playing against James in the Finals twice! It is completely possible to complete the task of organizing the team's attack if the teammates have a certain talent!

Parker and Duncan are old but they are former superstars after all, and Danny Green and Dior have been partnering with Leonard for a long time, and they have a very tacit understanding.

The second team has Mills and Ginobili to organize the offense, and the second team's offense is also impressive, and the Spurs have stabilized their position in recent times and are still standing in the top eight in the West.

Leonard attacked, and it was Kobe Bryant who defended him!

No way, Kobe Bryant's physical strength is the biggest problem restricting his defense now, it is too difficult to prevent an opponent like Danny Green running all over the court, and it is better to defend Leonard.

Kobe Bryant's single defense of the ball carrier is generally okay, he has been criticized as a defensive traffic commander in recent years because the current scoring guards have begun to become role players, except for Harden and Jimmy Butler, DeRozan and a few of the young scoring guards, most of them have become 3D players, and the offense will only run three-pointers, and it is indeed difficult for Kobe to chase them with his old arms and legs.

And he has always done a good job of defending the ball carrier, from the league scoring guard one-on-one holding the ball defense to suppress the opponent's shooting rate given by the professional data website after the regular season last season, Kobe Bryant's ball-handling player shooting rate is extremely low, in this case, Kobe's defensive efficiency last season ranked second among scoring guards, second only to Jimmy Butler!

It wasn't Liu Renfang himself, Leonard was a little disappointed, and at the same time angry.

It's not that Leonard doesn't respect Kobe, but a veteran who is almost 37 years old, Leonard respects and respects, but he really doesn't take Kobe's defense seriously.

Leonard is ready to tell Kobe Bryant with practical actions that let Kobe play his offense, and defense is no longer what he should do at a young age.
