Kawhi Leonard Responds to Gregg Popovich Saying He Wasn't a Leader with Spurs
可愛對於波總說他不是球隊領導者的評論回應了
Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard fired back Sunday after former coach Gregg
Popovich questioned his leadership abilities.
多倫多暴龍明星Kawhi Leonard在星期天對於馬刺總教練質疑他的領導能力的評論反擊了。
"It's just funny to me," Leonard said, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports. "I
don't know if he's talking about last year or not. I guess when you stop
playing they forget how you lead. ... It doesn't matter. I'm here with the
Raptors and I'm focused on the season and not what's going on on the other
side."
「對我來說那很好笑，」Leonard說。「我不知道他是不是在說去年的時候。我猜啦，當我
不打球的時候，他們就忘記我是怎樣領導球隊的....沒差啦....我現在在暴龍打球，我現
在就是專注在本季賽事，對於那邊發生什麼我是沒在注意的。」
Leonard played just nine games for the San Antonio Spurs last season but has
played well since being traded to the Raptors in the offseason, leading the
team to an NBA-best 17-4 record.
Leonard去年只為了馬刺打了九場比賽，而在賽季結束後被交易到暴龍後，表現亮眼，率領
球隊打出聯盟最佳戰績，17-4。
The 27-year-old twice finished in the top three of MVP voting with San
Antonio, although Popovich still thought he was missing something.
27歲的Leonard在馬刺打球期間兩度在年度MVP票選前三名，但是波總還是認為他缺少了一
一些東西。
"Kawhi was a great player, but he wasn't a leader," the Spurs coach said
Saturday, per Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News. "Manu [Ginobili]
and Patty [Mills] were the leaders. Kawhi's talent will always be missed, but
leadership wasn't his deal at the time. That may come as he progresses. Patty
and Manu filled that role for us last year. LaMarcus [Aldridge] came a long
way as a leader also."
「Kawhi是個偉大的球員，但不是個領導者，」波總在星期六的時候說到。「Manu跟Patty
是領導者，Kawhi的天賦是會被永遠記得的，但是不會在領導能力那部分。或許當他繼續成
長後會出現，但是Patty跟Manu在去年的時候填補了那空缺，LGG經歷了很久後也成為了領導
者。」
Leonard was surrounded by veteran players when he first entered the league,
with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili all well-established at the
time. All three players are now gone from the Spurs, which are off to a 9-10
start.
Leonard剛進NBA的時候有好幾位老將一起陪伴，包括了Tim Duncan，Tony Parker跟Manu
Ginobili，三位在那時都已經建立的聲譽。不過三位老將現在都不在馬刺，馬刺目前戰績
9-10。
The Raptors seem happy with Leonard, who is playing at a high level for the
NBA title contenders.
暴龍目前似乎很滿意Leonard的表現，讓暴龍成為角逐冠軍的隊伍。
