Chapter 790 Gradually Losing Confidence
Leonard's free-wheeling shooting action made James feel shocked, but then he was relieved.

It's just the same action, but it doesn't mean that he can also make a shot.

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

But this is 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-pointers are not as good as Green. Not too big either.

However, the increase in their defensive strength perfectly made up for this deficiency. The Heat and the Spurs entered a "scoring drought" state for a while. In two or three minutes, although both sides played well, they just didn't score.

James is in a hurry. The Spurs' lineup is not strong in scoring. If they don't take the opportunity to score more points at this time, what should they do if their main scoring points come up later?
But with the Spurs' level of defense, scoring is not an easy task.

Yes, he can forcibly carry Leonard to break through, but this kind of forceful attack is not fast enough. Someone on the Spurs will always return to defend him in time at the last moment to interfere with him. James forced a few times. Besides, there is no other gain.

What?Pass assist after breakthrough?
God, it's not that James hasn't thought about it, but in this lineup, Ray Allen, who is the most confident, will definitely not be released. For the rest, even if James passes, they may not be able to make it.

Don't do this kind of waste of opportunity.

As for the Spurs, it is true that Ginobili is the main attacker, but after all, he is also old, and the current stalking defense of the Heat also makes him very uncomfortable. If you have a chance, you can only hang around again.

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

And whenever this happens, a star must stand up and open up the situation for his team.

Of course, James is on the Heat's side. Although it is annoying to be entangled by Leonard, after all, James' level is there. Even if he is entangled by Leonard now, James' strength is still there.

Another strong breakthrough, this time James forced a layup with two people.

"2+1", James directly completed a "2+1", helping the Heat open the situation.

"It's so strong!"

Leonard didn't say anything, but he was also cursing in his heart.

In the breakthrough just now, James had Leonard and Ginobili who came to defend him, and he was able to score abruptly!
There is no way around this, it’s not that our army is too incompetent, but the enemy’s army is too strong, so we can’t hang three people on them next time, right?
James went to the free throw line, and Qin Yan from the sidelines had already come to the technical table, but because the ball is not dead now, Qin Yan has no way to play.

Taking a deep breath, James took the ball thrown by the referee, patted it twice and then shot. He was still very confident in scoring free throws.

Very muscular players are not good at free throws because they are too strong, but obviously James is not one of them, who has always had a good free throw percentage.

But today, God seems to have made a little joke with him.

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

I'll go, what the hell? !
James was taken aback, how could this ball fly out?

But he can only retreat quickly, because the Spurs have already won the flying ball and are ready to counterattack.

Because the Heat broke the scoring shortage first, the Spurs must score in this attack, otherwise, the Heat may take the opportunity to widen the point difference.

It was Manu Ginobili who played this ball. After all, in this lineup, when it comes to offense, apart from him, it is McGrady.

But since McGrady changed to point guard, his interest in scoring has dropped a lot. Now McGrady prefers to pass wonderful assists.

So Ginobili can only come by himself, a European step change, Ginobili directly passed Jones, and rushed directly to the inside of the Heat!
Of course, the Heat paid great attention to Ginobili, Ray Allen rushed back to defend, and even James took a step inside.

According to this posture, if Ginobili continues to rush inside, then what is waiting for him is likely to be a big cap.

At this moment, James suddenly discovered that Leonard, who was defending himself, suddenly started running!

Um?What is this guy up to?
James suddenly felt a little troublesome, so he gave up Ginobili and quickly chased 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 quickly ran from the Heat's inside line back to the outside line!

"Kawhi!"

At this time, Ginobili just rushed into the basket of the Heat. He noticed that Leonard had run out from the corner of his eye, so he shouted and threw the ball backhanded!

not good!

James understands what this is about. Leonard is famous for his running shots this year. Now this scene is clearly a running shot!
It turned out that Ginobili was just a bait, and it was Leonard who was really ready to make a move!
Catch the ball and shoot!
Leonard's shot speed is really no slower than Ray Allen now, which allows him to easily avoid most defenses.

"Shh!"

This is a very simple goal, but it is a little pity that it is a long two-pointer instead of a three-pointer.

"Pretty!"

Qin Yan applauded at the technical stage. Now Leonard really has the characteristics of a "cold-faced killer". His running shots are no longer lost to Hamilton back then.

James frowned. The Spurs were in trouble at first, but now this paralyzed man who could only defend has mastered the movement and shooting, which is even more difficult.

Able to attack and defend, with a stable state and a harmonious atmosphere, can he really beat such a team with almost no weaknesses?
At least for now, James really lost his confidence.
