Chapter 852 He Is Smarter Than You And Me
Chapter 863 He's smarter than you and me

Leonard's current offensive and defensive capabilities are still far behind Wei Xia.

But the good thing about him is that he is not stage-frightened when he is in battle, and he dares to fight.

Back then, one of the comments written on him by scouts was that he played extremely hard and seriously.

After half a quarter, the confrontation between Leonard and Wei Xia was at a disadvantage.

14 is better than 12
The 76ers only led by 2 points.

The Spurs have a balanced offense and defense. If they can't play a routine on the offensive end, they will find ways to use defense to create problems for their opponents.

The 76ers moved the ball smoothly and didn't have a chance. Wei Xiaqiang hit a ball and missed.

When it was the Spurs' turn, they couldn't play tactics, so they had to hand it over to Leonard.

Leonard received the ball from the left wing, dribbled the ball behind his back and broke into the penalty area, turned into a post, stepped back to the right, turned over and faked, and turned over his left shoulder for a jump shot-successful.

If someone is interested in looking for a picture of Kobe's similar offensive dynamics and putting it together with Leonard's offensive just now, they will find that the movements of the two are exactly the same.

Only by carefully studying Kobe's game can we see the details of those fleeting movements.

Wei Xia's uneasy and kind suggestion made Leonard learn the real thing.

"I probably shouldn't have recommended you to watch Kobe's game video." Wei Xia said regretfully.

Leonard didn't speak.

He's the rare guy who can dominate the conversation against Wescia.

Because if he didn't want to answer, even if Wei Xia said a hundred trash words, he might not get a response.

Now Leonard's lips were tightly closed, and he looked at Wei Xia with vigilant eyes, and he didn't reply a word.

"My teammates are very enthusiastic, you have to be careful about their cover." Wei Xia's enthusiasm has always been well known.

Because he is too considerate of his opponents, his opponents are often offended, so he has been ranked first in the two anonymous voting activities launched by ESPN for many years, "Your most hated matchup" and "most difficult defender".

One of them.Paul Pierce voted for Weisha with his real name, and the reason is: "I think Wish is already unprecedented in this area. There may only be two things left in his life, winning, and being annoying. Believe me, for us, his achievements in the latter are far greater than the former."

Pierce's words are famous.

Since then, whoever Wei Xia has tortured and made anyone crazy, the commentators and football critics who have written in their hands will quote this sentence.

Their purpose may not be to let people know how frightening Wei Xia is, they just want to highlight his toughness from the side, but Pierce's words have had a certain impact on Wei Xia's reputation no matter how you look at it.

Leonard believed that Wei Xia did not lie, but the reminder was too slow.

As soon as Wei Xia's voice fell, Cousins ​​​​covered in place, Wei Xia ran out of the opportunity, caught the ball and made a jumper.

16 is better than 14
"Sorry, I will remind you earlier next time." Wei Xia said regretfully.

Leonard glanced at Cousins ​​unhappily, but still didn't say any trash. He must be unconvinced, because Wei Xia ran out of the opportunity without much effort.

If it wasn't for Cousins, he would definitely let Wei Xia consume a lot of energy.

The Spurs returned to the offensive end, pushing their old-fashioned offensive rhythm.

All old fans should watch the Spurs game. You like hardball, don’t like so many three-pointers, don’t like to watch stars play a lot of singles, and like to transfer the ball, then the Spurs are simply the only suitable choice.

A few years ago, when the Spurs focused on the pass-and-cut system, 1/5 of their shots per game were three-pointers, and the three-point shooting percentage was a terrifying 40%.Now their 1-pointers account for less than 5/76. The entire league is affected by the Heat, 41ers, and Warriors. They pile up the wings, dwarf the inside, play the main [-] lineup, embrace the three-pointer and speed up, but the Spurs stopped.

The Spurs use a set of defensively tough but offensively dull starters; go against the trend, neither speed up nor shoot three-pointers; they are still the most team-oriented team in the league-the fourth most in the league with 332 passes per game, and 7.4 second assists per game.

As far as the lineup and style of play are concerned, the Spurs' problems can be seen at a glance.

Their game is slower than it was two years ago, and Danny Green's degradation this season has made their space more crowded.Although ranked second in the league, maintaining the current winning percentage is expected to hit the highest winning percentage in team history, but they are not at all like the Warriors, who can put on one or two sets of invincible lineups that can beat the league.

Aldridge tried to be a young Duncan.

Gets the ball high, screens with his body, and hands it to Parker.

Parker dribbled the ball to Leonard.

Leonard and Duncan's outside pick-and-roll, one dribbles horizontally and the other runs down.Cousins' decision was hard to say right or wrong. He stepped forward to pinch Leonard at the first time, and at the same time gave Duncan a wide space to go down.Without his delay, Duncan running to the rim can attack the rim at will as soon as he catches the ball.

Leonard knew what he had to do and used his long arm to pass the ball to Duncan for an easy dunk.

"Pass the ball!"

Wei Xia yelled and was about to get off.

The 76ers' sudden acceleration is a test for the Spurs' big men.

As long as Duncan returns to the battlefield, people will forget his age, but he can't return to the battlefield, and Wei Xia's counterattack is too fast.

Aldridge is much younger, but he has never been a fearsome defensive player.

Not only could he not keep up with Wei Xia, he even lost Hayward.

Duncan took Wei Xia too seriously, as if his counterattack only rushed to the basket and didn't look at people.

Wei Xia immediately regarded the AT&T Center as his show, grabbed the ball with one hand and shot a feint, tricking the stone Buddha into heaven, and then jumped into the air to plant false hopes for the opponent again.

When Shi Fu thought that his defense might be in place, Wei Xia's right hand holding the ball unexpectedly threw the ball from under his step.

The ball flies beyond the left three-point line, Hayward is in position, catches the ball, Aldridge is miles away from him -- no one can affect his shot.

"Shh!"

19 is better than 14
"It's a fantastic Magic Move! No matter how mean the fans are, even if they want to object loudly after seeing such a performance, they have to relax for a few seconds."

Popovich was slightly restrained in his criticism of Aldridge.

It seems that he also knows that it is not kind to fool people all the way to succeed Duncan, but let him play center every day and rub against all kinds of gangsters.

Moreover, Aldridge is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't know that his defense has a problem.

He has a very thin skin, because he will win back the points he lost in the next round.

Aldridge bullied Cousins ​​and couldn't defend, so he returned a ball from the free throw line.

16 is better than 19
Leonard continues to play singles, as long as the tactics cannot be opened, that is the stage for him to show his skills.

Wei Xia's defensive awareness is too good for a frontal step-back jumper. His movements are in place, but he still can't shake the opportunity.

Wei Xia came up on the defense, and Leonard could only avoid the blocked shot with his wingspan advantage.

No matter how strong a player is, when he is so defended that he can only use strong shots to complete the offense, his shooting percentage will not be very high.

Even Kobe was rarely pushed to this point.

Part of the reason for Kobe's many difficult shots is that he made it difficult for himself.

Many of the shots he made were unnecessary, unnecessary, and opportunities not to be shot.If he wants to be strong, he shoots as soon as he shoots. That kind of ball is originally made out of nothing, and Leonard's is purely because he didn't want to understand.

"Won't Coach Popo scold you?"

Wei Xia spoke quickly, but Leonard opened his thick skin. Although he and Wei Xia could hear Popovich's dissatisfied roar, they just didn't listen.

Wei Xia suddenly felt that Leonard's environment was not suitable for his development.

How can a young superstar not have unlimited firepower in the team?

The Spurs' career plan for Leonard is indeed a textbook, which is commendable. Without the Spurs coaching staff, Leonard would not be where he is today, that's for sure.

But they have obviously brought up people, but they are like those parents who raise their children and decide what to do, who to date, and who to marry, they do not give them autonomy.

In this case, doesn't Leonard have other ideas?
When Wei Xia finished the counterattack, he said softly: "I'm really sorry for you. When I first joined the 76ers, I took 30 shots per game. Do you know why?"

Leonard remained silent.

While Popovich scolded, he didn't stop the game to calm Leonard.

The reward Leonard gave was-catch the ball from the right bottom corner, dribble with his right hand for a breakthrough step, cross step, a horizontal pull to change hands, completely sway Wei Xia, break through the basket, and score with a left-handed throw.

Dribbling, shooting, isolating, creating his own space, the three-point line, posting up, and suddenly, as a forward, it seems like he doesn't have enough of it.Unless you pull him to work as a guard, he is basically a small forward with no dead ends.

He plays very dependent on rhythm and lacks the ability of James and Jordan to get rid of opponents in an instant. This is a lack of talent.

Throughout the ages, there are only a handful of super giants with this ability, and even Kobe lost this ability after gaining weight.

Back to the offensive end of the 76ers, Wei Xia didn't need the ball, he just raised his hand, and his teammates passed the ball.

"See? As long as you take more than 30 shots in a dozen consecutive games, they will pass the ball to you consciously. You should cultivate this natural reaction into the muscle memory of your teammates."

Wei Xia taught by example and also played rhythm to score.

"By the way, this is what Kobe taught me." Wei Xia said with a smile, "He is really a cancer in this team sport, what do you think?"

Wei Xia didn't expect Leonard to respond, he enjoyed black Kobe very much.

"He's a smart guy." Leonard's response was unexpected, "Smarter than you and me."

"Listen, young man, although you can overestimate Kobe's IQ, don't underestimate mine!" Wei Xia warned dissatisfiedly, "What you just said has deeply offended me!"
