It came just a few days after Fiebich dropped 15 points in a win against the Aces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The past two games have been growth for Fiebich. She was determined and attacked the basket with velocity. She finished strong and was confident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeo has a bag that\u2019s deeper than just a 3-and-D player and you\u2019re starting to see it especially in these past two games when she takes an iso opportunity and really gets downhill, gets to the basket,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cBut for Leo, it\u2019s all about confidence.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the way Fiebich plays, it\u2019s easy to forget that this is only her second WNBA season. The 25-year-old plays like a seasoned role player.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Sandy Brondello knows Fiebich has another level to reach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLove everything about Leo and what she brings to this team. She\u2019s the ultimate professional, how she comes ready to play and selfless,\u201d Brondello said. \u201cWe\u2019re encouraging her to shoot obviously, and put her in the actions there because she\u2019s the most pure shooter I\u2019ve ever seen. And with her size, at 6-foot-4, her ability. If you come off a screen to just get balance and shoot it, it\u2019s beautiful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leonie Fiebich makes a layup during the Liberty-Dream game on July 13, 2025. Michelle Farsi\/New York Post<\/p>\n
Fiebich was annoyed last week because everyone had been pestering her \u2014 from her coaches and some teammates to media and fans \u2014 to be more aggressive in hunting for her shot. But that\u2019s never been Fiebich\u2019s approach to the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On offense, she\u2019s a great floor spacer and the ball moves smoother when she\u2019s out there. But Fiebich prioritizes defense and shutting down opponents. She loves doing the dirty work and handling the unsung duties that often make her teammates shine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCovering the Liberty like never before\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tThank you\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I just have fun on defense. I\u2019m just annoying my opponent,\u201d Fiebich said. \u201cFor me, if you go into a game with an offensive mindset, you never know if your shot is going to fall or not. You never know if you get the calls and on defense, you really always know what you have to do \u2014 the aggression you play with and the intensity \u2014 and that\u2019s just something you can control, and yeah, I just don\u2019t want to rely on the uncontrollables on offense.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fiebich isn\u2019t a player that Brondello and her staff have to worry about when it comes to shot selection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The objective now is for the Liberty to continue to build up Fiebich\u2019s confidence as a scorer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone is really happy when Leo is playing like that,\u201d Marine Johann\u00e8s said. \u201cEvery night, she\u2019s just doing a great job, but she\u2019s also doing the dirty job. So yeah, tonight, seeing her get shots and be comfortable on the court was really good for us and I hope that it can be like that every day for her because it was really great.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Leonie Fiebich squeezed by Breanna Stewart\u2019s screen and left Allisha Gray stumbling behind her during Sunday\u2019s game,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":66193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[1520,62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-66192","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-new-york-liberty","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us","13":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114854461879066189","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
