此外:ESPN 记者Ramona Shelburne也有在Lowe Post Podcast上谈到此事,可以听听
以下撷取重要片段
So in the summer of 2019, while the rest of the NBA world fretted over who rei
gning NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard would choose between the Toronto Raptors an
d his hometown Los Angeles Lakers or LA Clippers, Westbrook was coming up with
a plan to collaborate with him on a homecoming.
2019年夏天,整个NBA关注著总冠军赛MVP Kawhi Leonard要选择暴龙队还是家乡加州的,
湖人队或快艇队的时候,Westbrook有个计画可以让他回到洛杉矶。
Westbrook had become a father of three the previous November, and while he'd m
ade a home and carved a Hall of Fame legacy in Oklahoma City, the chance to li
ve and play in Los Angeles, where grandparents and his large extended family a
nd friends could visit every day, held deep appeal.
西河在前一年11月才成为三个小孩之父,在他追求他在雷霆队的成就的同时,一个可以回
到他祖父母和其他亲戚和亲朋好友所居住的洛杉矶效力的机会,对他有很大的吸引力。
Teaming up with Leonard would be the fastest way there, so he placed the call,
according to multiple sources. But Leonard didn't just take the call as one n
ative son of Los Angeles to another, ponder it and file it away.
和可爱组队是最快速的方法,因此他打给可爱。根据多个消息来源指出,但可爱不只接起
了这通同乡的电话。
He used it.
他利用了这通电话
According to multiple sources, Leonard then called Westbrook's teammate in Okl
ahoma City, Paul George, and told him he'd rather team up with him on a homeco
ming.
可爱之后打给西河在雷霆队的队友Paul George,并告诉他,比起跟西河组队他更想跟乔
治同队。
George had always longed to play in front of his family as well but had formed
a close bond with Westbrook in their two seasons together in Oklahoma City an
d was content to stay.
乔治一直希望可以在家人周围打球,但他跟西河建立起很好的关系并且开心继续留在雷霆
队。
Leonard's call upended all of that, though. And within a week, Leonard was tea
ming up with George
