The most overrated superstar? He is prone to injury and needs star teammates. His best result in 5 years is only the Western Conference Finals

. Leonard is an undoubted superstar. He has won two championships in his career and is both offensive and defensive. However, Leonard and the Clippers are now in trouble, and this difficulty is likely to affect Leonard's fate.

The Clippers haven't won a game since Leonard returned from injury, and have lost two games in a row to the Mavericks . After losing 90-101 in the away game, the Clippers trailed the Mavericks 1:2.

Leonard only scored 9 points and 9 rebounds. The most surprising thing is that Leonard, as the team's top star, only took 7 shots in the game and had no desire to attack.

Leonard did not communicate with his teammates frequently during the game. The team also suffered an early defeat, and Leonard could not hide his loneliness on the bench in the final quarter.

To some extent, although Leonard is a superstar, he is also a superstar with very high requirements. His strength may be overestimated.

has high demands on his teammates

Looking back on Leonard's career, we will find a characteristic - his teammates must be very strong in any year when he achieves results.

Among the current players, top superstars like James, Jokic, Curry and even Durant have very low requirements for the team and are basically plug and play.

The three superstars of Giancuyo have their own systems, and the team can quickly build combat power around them.

Leonard has never had this trait. When people mention Leonard, they will not say that he is the core of the team, but will regard him as the first end point and defensive leader.

Because of this, people rarely put the word leadership on Leonard.

Leonard played for the Spurs early in his career. At that time, the core of the team was Duncan. Duncan has his own team system, and Leonard only needs to score and defend well.

Leonard later shined in 2014 and was elected the Most Valuable Player in the finals. Even if Duncan retires, Leonard will still be able to rely on the Spurs' teamwork and offensive and defensive system.

He doesn't need to worry too much, just score and defend well. After

joined Raptors , the team has a complete system and a deep lineup.

In Leonard's first season with the Raptors, the team never allowed him to play back-to-back games. Since the Raptors are a tall, athletic and talented team, the Raptors don't have to ask Leonard to contribute on the defensive end. Players such as Anunoby and Sikka will defend well to reduce the pressure on Leonard.

On the surface, Leonard was the Raptors' No. 1 star at the time. In fact, the real leader of the Raptors at the time was Lowry. Lowry leads the team to make organizational arrangements, and Leonard can seal his throat at critical moments.

has been successful with Leonard in both the Spurs and Raptors. Joining the Clippers, which has more talented players, Leonard should be more successful.

However, the Clippers' team building ideas and lineup configuration do not meet Leonard's requirements. Hence the current situation.

The style of play is not suitable for the core of the team

First, the Clippers regard Leonard as the first core and team leader. But with Leonard's character and style of play, he is not qualified for this responsibility.

Leonard is taciturn and rarely speaks out. The core of a team should have the courage to speak like James and Curry.

In the past few years when he has played for the Clippers, we have rarely seen Leonard's verbal statements. George sometimes talks more than Leonard.

In terms of playing style, Leonard is the team's first attack point, and Leonard can score at critical moments. But it is extremely difficult to expect him to pass the ball to drive the team.

So far in his career, Leonard has averaged 5.2 assists per game in one year at most. The average number of assists in his career is only 3 times.

Leonard’s poor passing vision and slow ball speed are well-known problems. After returning in these two games, Leonard's defensive passes against the Mavericks were often not in place, affecting the team's offensive rhythm and efficiency.

g3 The Clippers had 19 assists but made as many as 19 turnovers.The dragging offense is clear to see.

Leonard's current offense requires a lot of dribbling to find rhythm. It is no longer as simple and efficient as in the past, but is bloated and a waste of time.

Due to Leonard's injury, he was out for a long time. After returning, he still did not dare to fully display his fists and had obvious reservations on the defensive end.

In these two games, he did not have the impact on the defensive end that he had in the past playoffs. The Mavericks will even use some tactics against Leonard. Leonard is a bit slow when defending the outside, and he is not tall enough to defend the inside.

Will the Clippers be rebuilt?

If the Clippers are eliminated this year, they have a high probability of rebuilding.

The Clippers have experienced a lot of lineup changes and injuries in the past five years. Essentially, Leonard, who is the core of the team, has not performed up to standard. His requirements for the team's configuration are too high, and coupled with his fragile physique, Leonard is likely to exhaust the patience of Clippers fans.

Now, there is not much time left for Leonard to adjust.
