Chapter 167 Unlimited Leonard

The James team is playing very uncomfortable now. They have calculated thousands of times. They didn't calculate that the Yunchen team would keep Curry and then send up three pitchers. They directly shot three-pointers without reason. Going all the way, in just 2 minutes, they have scored 4 three-pointers, one for Curry, two for Thompson, and one for Paul George.

On the other hand, the James team can't defend and attack.

The sudden acceleration of the Yunchen team made them unable to adapt, especially Westbrook and Griffin, who had just played, couldn't touch the ball on the court, so they could only keep turning back and running.

James' face was getting darker and darker, and he organized the attack without saying a word, and he was a little helpless about the current situation.

He turned his head to look at Li Yunchen who was on the bench, and suddenly found that the kid was sticking out his tongue at him, clearly provoking him.

"With such strict precautions, he still fell into his trick!" Beside him, Harden couldn't help but spit, very annoyed by this.

At 10 minutes into the second quarter, the score of the two sides had reached 32-25. The James team had fallen behind by 7 points and could not find a way to limit the opponent's perimeter.

Finally, Cole couldn't sit still. Although it was only an All-Star game, it was unbearable to lose with James Harden and Durant, the three almost strongest players in the league.

He called a timeout and made a big shakeup of the lineup.

He replaced Westbrook, Harden and others who were strong offensively and weakly defensively, and replaced Wall, Haywood, DeRozan, Cousins, who were slightly better defensively. Rand is still on the field.

"Coach, let me get off too?" James wondered, he felt that once he got off, he might be beaten by the opponent.

But Cole put his hands on his waist and said, "You rest first, and then play in the middle of the second quarter."

Hearing that, James didn't say anything more, and sat down on the seat and began to drink water and rest. He believed in Cole's judgment, and there shouldn't be any problems.

The game continued, and when the James lineup appeared, there were exclamations at the scene, and the audience could not understand such an arrangement.

However, the exclamation on this side had just subsided, and after the players on the other side entered the field, the voices of the fans rang out again.

"This is..." On the opposite bench, James locked his hands tightly every day, looking at Li Yunchen, who was among the players on the field, with a look of surprise.

He didn't expect that he could still see his debut in the first quarter.

And Yun Chen, like last time, made a face at him again, but still didn't take him seriously, this Liang Zi, it seemed that he was settled.

The lineup of the Yunchen team has also changed a lot, becoming PG Li Yunchen, SG Klay Thompson, SF Kawhi Leonard, PF Porzingis, and C Kevin Love.

The game restarted, James had the ball, and Wall held the ball and pushed past the center line. Wall's presence in recent seasons has been very low, but it does not mean that he is not strong. On the contrary, he has evolved into an average player per game. An all-round guard who can get a double-double, he will not lose to Curry and others.

He came over with the ball, and suddenly found that the tall Li Yunchen was defending him. He immediately became excited. His breakthrough speed was almost the fastest in the league. Wouldn't it be suicide to let a tall man defend him?
So immediately, without any hesitation, he directly started to break through, passing Yun Chen in one step, so easy that he couldn't believe it.

However, as soon as he broke through, the James team bench behind him exclaimed: "Don't go! You have been fooled!"

"Eh!" Wall was taken aback by the shout, and his movements paused: "Tricked? What are you fooled by?"

However, where he didn't notice, Li Yunchen unexpectedly switched defensive positions with Leonard at some point. He stood in front of Durant, and Leonard shrank inward to face Wall.

"You..." Wall was shocked. The sudden appearance of Leonard in front of him made him startled and frightened. You know, Leonard's "Death Coil" is a terrifying existence in the league!
"Crack!" Not surprisingly, Wall, whose mood fluctuated greatly, was intercepted in an instant. Leonard successfully got the basketball, and then casually tossed it to Li Yunchen, who had already started to go down. The latter caught the ball and exploded. Buckle up. 34-25.

"Wow!" The audience was surprised. This sudden change of defense was quite entertaining, and it also made people marvel at the seamless cooperation of the Yunchen team.

"This..." James stood up off the court again, looked at the court in disbelief, and then at Cole.

But Cole looked at the field like him and didn't make any response.

The game continued, and the James team looked a bit broken now. They were intercepted by one-on-one defense when they were behind, which was a great blow to morale.

This time, Wall learned to be smart and didn't go up by himself, but handed it over to DeRozan for him to play one-on-one at the top of the arc.

The characteristic of their team is singles, and there are no other tactics.

DeRozan is facing Klay Thompson. Thompson is also a defensive master. Love, who was much taller than him in the finals, was unable to make a shot.

DeRozan tried to break through for a while, but Thompson looked "out of shape" today and let him pass in one step.

This is exactly the same as Wall just now, even easier than Wall, Thompson seems to be deliberately letting him into the paint.

"What is this for..." DeRozan was suspicious, but he didn't care too much after breaking through, just attacking.

At the moment when he breaks in, he has to make an emergency stop and jump shot.

However, the moment he just took off, a black shadow suddenly pressed down beside him like a sandstorm in the desert, covering the sky and the sun!

"Leonard!" DeRozan exclaimed. The black figure that suddenly appeared turned out to be Leonard again. He didn't know when he rushed over again!

Now he is really exactly the same as Wall just now, and he cannot escape the fate of being sanctioned!

"Ah!" But he was a little better, facing the death entanglement, he actually passed the ball in the air, and was not blocked by Leonard.

However, jumping and passing the ball is a taboo. On a stage like the NBA, it is difficult not to be intercepted.

Porzingis broke it with a long wave of his hand, and then handed it to Yun Chen, who was about to come down again. The latter caught the ball and broke through it. He didn't defend Durant hard, and passed the ball in the air to follow up. Love, who made an alley-oop dunk.

36-25.The difference between the two sides came to 11 points.

"This... there is such a tactic? It's all about Leonard alone!" At this time, James' exclamation could be heard clearly by almost the entire bench.

"Tactics? What tactics?" Westbrook asked with a straight mind and doubts.

James didn't look back when he heard the words, and said directly: "This Li Yunchen is really terrible. It would be a waste if he doesn't become a coach after he retires!"

"In these two defenses, he actually used unlimited defenses to allow Wall and DeRozan, who broke through, to face Leonard in the middle distance, and Leonard's defensive ability was brought to the extreme!"

"It's unscientific, what about Leonard's own opponent?" Westbrook asked again.

"Didn't you see that WaldRozan didn't encounter obstacles at all when he broke through for the first time? It's not that they couldn't defend, but they were on the way to change defenses! And Leonard on the other side also ran over ahead of time, This is the seamless connection!" James said in a deep voice.

"This...doesn't that mean that as long as everyone breaks through, they will inevitably encounter Leonard?" Harden also spoke, with a headache.

As long as you are an attacker, you will not be willing to run into Leonard. It is really difficult to score under his hands.

"He is sure that we won't shoot three-pointers..." James gritted his teeth, his face was very ugly.
