Kawhi Leonard Responds to Gregg Popovich Saying He Wasn't a Leader with Spurs
可爱对于波总说他不是球队领导者的评论回应了
Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard fired back Sunday after former coach Gregg
Popovich questioned his leadership abilities.
多伦多暴龙明星Kawhi Leonard在星期天对于马刺总教练质疑他的领导能力的评论反击了。
"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."
“对我来说那很好笑，”Leonard说。“我不知道他是不是在说去年的时候。我猜啦，当我
不打球的时候，他们就忘记我是怎样领导球队的....没差啦....我现在在暴龙打球，我现
在就是专注在本季赛事，对于那边发生什么我是没在注意的。”
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去年只为了马刺打了九场比赛，而在赛季结束后被交易到暴龙后，表现亮眼，率领
球队打出联盟最佳战绩，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岁的Leonard在马刺打球期间两度在年度MVP票选前三名，但是波总还是认为他缺少了一
一些东西。
"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是个伟大的球员，但不是个领导者，”波总在星期六的时候说到。“Manu跟Patty
是领导者，Kawhi的天赋是会被永远记得的，但是不会在领导能力那部分。或许当他继续成
长后会出现，但是Patty跟Manu在去年的时候填补了那空缺，LGG经历了很久后也成为了领导
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刚进NBA的时候有好几位老将一起陪伴，包括了Tim Duncan，Tony Parker跟Manu
Ginobili，三位在那时都已经建立的声誉。不过三位老将现在都不在马刺，马刺目前战绩
9-10。
The Raptors seem happy with Leonard, who is playing at a high level for the
NBA title contenders.
暴龙目前似乎很满意Leonard的表现，让暴龙成为角逐冠军的队伍。
