“You don’t want to say Michael Jordan,” New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry
said, “but it is that type of situation where you have a really, really good
offensive player and a tremendous defensive player.
“He definitely has to be heavily in the conversation for MVP.”
紐澳良主帥 Alvin Gentry 談 Kawhi Leonard:
「你不會想提起Michael Jordan,
但是現在的情況就是,我們有一個進攻非常非常好的球員,
並且他也是一名非常出色的防守球員。」
「他肯定在很大程度上會進入MVP人選的討論之中。」

"I hope [the voters] understand," said teammate Pau Gasol. "I hope they see.
It's not hard to see if you really watch. I think he's very much deserving of
getting the MVP this season. The way he's playing, the way he's contributing
on both ends of the floor. He's not the guy that just puts up 30 points and
that's it. He makes huge plays defensively. So, to me, he's my MVP."
Kawhi Leonard 的隊友 Pau Gasol 說:
「我希望(投票者)可以理解,我希望他們能看到。
如果真有在看比賽的話,看到這個並不困難。
我覺得他這一季很值得成為MVP。
他打球的方式,在攻防兩端貢獻的方式,他不是只拿了三十分,
他還在防守端打出了很多關鍵的表現。
所以,對我來說,他是我的MVP。」
"The block is what makes him special," said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
"Obviously, the 3. You know, Harden makes 3s, Kawhi makes 3s, this guy makes
3s, that guy makes 3s, Steph [Curry] makes 3s, everybody does that. But I
don't know who goes to the other end and does what he does. Not that many
people on a consistent basis, an entire game, game after game. Kawhi wanted
it badly and he went and he took it.
"We don't talk about MVP awards. We don’t talk about any awards. We don’t
talk about championships. We just play the game. Everybody tries to do what
they can to make the team better and whatever records or awards or wins that
come, that’s the way it is."
馬刺教練 Gregg Popovich 說:
「火鍋是讓他變得特別的地方。很明顯的,三分球─你知道的,Harden投三分,
Kawhi投三分,這人投三分,那人投三分,Steph (Curry) 投三分,大家都會投。
但是我不知道還有誰可以在防守端做到一樣的事情。
很少人可以在整場比賽、每一場比賽中持續做到這樣。
Kawhi非常想要,並且去實踐了。」
「我們不討論MVP獎項,我們不討論任何獎項,我們不討論冠軍。我們只是打球。
所有人都盡力讓隊伍變得更好,任何紀錄、獎項或勝利都自然而然。」
"I think it's a combination of things," said veteran Manu Ginobili. "He's
very confident now and you can see it. Before, he was more introverted and
waiting for things to happen. Then, he started to realize the type of talent
he has and how important he is for the team. And, he knows he's going to have
the ball. So, he's even trusting more teammates, waiting a couple plays and
knowing we're going to play for him. That's something your confidence gives
you.
"So, he's at that point he knows he owns the team; that we need him to do
what he's doing to win, or to have a chance; and that puts you in a great
mental spot."
老將 Manu Ginobili 說:
「我覺得這是幾件事情的綜合。
你可以觀察到他現在很有自信。以前他比較內向,會等事情去發生,
後來他開始理解到自己的天分和對於隊伍的重要性,他也知道自己會有球權。
所以,他更相信隊友了,懂得等幾個回合並知道我們會幫助他。
這是你的自信會帶給你的東西」
「所以,他現在知道他擁有這支球隊;
知道我們需要他想辦法取勝,或爭取獲勝的機會;
而這讓你的心理素質相當強悍。」
“I was in complete awe,” (Manu) Ginobili said, after Leonard’s late
heroics spearheaded a 112-110 come-from-behind victory over Houston. “I
couldn’t believe what he did.”
「我完全嚇到了,我不敢相信他做了什麼。」
