Do you shoot with just the LCD screen?

So I picked up an R6Mii recently. I used to shoot with a 60D but it was never sports, just family and landscapes so this is a whole different animal. This weekend was the first real time out with it. I know I want the 70-200 2.8 and the 24-105 2.8 just not sure which to get first. So I rented the 70-200 for my daughter's cheer comp this weekend since I'm not as close to the stage. Well it got canceled this weekend due to snow, but I did end up being able to go to a middle school basketball game and shoot some pictures. After watching 2 other full time photographers at this game im trying to figure out how they shoot the way they do. I know camera's that one guy shoots with are both r6miis and he mainly uses the rf 24-105. The guy never used the viewfinder the whole game. Always held the camera low and used the back screen. He posted some of the photos to his page today and they are perfect. 

Does anyone else shoot like that? How do you keep focus like that? Are you always holding down the focus button while taking pictures?

Shot a competition this weekend and was not allowed anything over a 70mm lens so these were shot with a RF 24-70 2.8 using the built in crop mode of the r6mii to get a little more reach. I don't think i did hateful with the shots and the editing.  I took the advice of cropping out all the distractions best I could like the side lights and stage scaffolds. Still have so much to learn in Lightroom and DPP4.  

These were shot in AV Mode with MIN shutter set at 1/500 and Auto ISO. ISO's for most photos were 1600-3200 and SS were 1/640 - 1/1250. I think out of 841 shots i got a lot of keepers and overall I'm happy with them. I think i may have been better setting the MIN SS to 1/1000 and keeping the shutter a little faster because at times their movements were a little quick for 1/500.  Anyone have any suggestions on these shots?

You did great.  Good work.  On my R5 C I shoot with the viewfinder 95% of the time.  You have some great memories here.
