SPURS’ KAWHI LEONARD WINS 2014-15 KIA NBA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD
馬刺的Kawhi Leonard贏得2014-15賽季年度防守球員獎項
NEW YORK, April 23, 2015 – The San Antonio Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard, who became
only the sixth forward to lead the NBA in steals per game since the league
started tracking the statistic 42 years ago, is the recipient of the 2014-15
Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, the NBA announced today. He
becomes the first Spurs player to win the award since David Robinson in
1991-92.
NBA今天宣布聖安東尼奧的Kawhi Leonard─NBA開始計算抄截這42年來第六位場均抄截居
首的前鋒─成為2014-15賽季的NBA年度防守球員得主。他成為馬刺自1991-92賽季的
David Robinson以來第一位得到這個獎項的球員。
Leonard garnered 37 first-place votes and 333 total points from a panel of
129 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada.
He edged the Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green, who tallied 45
first-place votes and 317 points. The Los Angeles Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan
finished third with 261 points (32 first-place votes). Players were awarded
five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place
vote and one point for each third-place vote received.
Lenard從共計129名體育作家和媒體得到37張第一名的票和333分。他險勝金州勇士的
Draymond Green，後者得到45張第一名的票和317分。洛杉磯快艇的DeAndre Jordan以261
分搶占第三名。球員們從每張第一名的票得到五分，每張第二名的票值三分，每張第三名
的票得一分。
The 6-7 Leonard averaged career highs of 2.31 steals and 5.9 defensive
rebounds to help anchor a Spurs defense that held opponents under 100 points
per game (97.0) for the 20th consecutive season. According to NBA.com/Stats,
San Antonio ranked third in the NBA in defensive rating, allowing 99.6 points
per 100 possessions. The Spurs gave up only 97.1 points per 100 possessions
when Leonard was on the court, a defensive rating that would have led the
league over the entire season. When Leonard was off the court, though, San
Antonio permitted 102.2 points per 100 possessions, a league-average
defensive rating.
六尺七吋高的Leonard以生涯新高的平均2.31次抄截與5.9防守籃板協助馬刺達成連續二十
季用防守將對手壓低到場均百分以下(97.0)。NBA.com/Stats的資料顯示聖安東尼奧在NBA
的防守效率排名第三，每百次防守失99.6分。Leonard在場上時馬刺每百次防守僅失97.1
分，此防守效率理應能夠領先全聯盟一整季。當Leonard不在場上時，聖安東尼奧每百次
防守失102.2分，一個在聯盟中算是平均的防守效率。
As part of its support of the Kia Defensive Player of the Year Award, Kia
Motors America (KMA) will donate an all-new and more capable than ever 2016
Kia Sorento LX CUV to a charity of Leonard’s choice on his behalf. Kia
Motors will present a Sorento to the charity of choice of each of five
2014-15 year-end award winners as part of the Kia NBA Performance Awards.
After this season, Kia Motors will have donated a total of 38 new vehicles to
charitable organizations since its support of the NBA’s prestigious honors
began in 2008.
作為當選年度防守球員的支持，Kia Motors America(KMA)會捐出一輛全新且極佳的2016
Kia Sorento LX CUS到Leonard選擇的慈善機構。Kia Motors會分別提供一輛Sorento給
2014-15五名年度獎項得主選擇的慈善機構作為Kia NBA表現獎項的一部分。本季結束後，
Kia Motors基於支持NBA自2008年以來的榮譽，會捐出總共38台新的交通工具去慈善組織
。
