助猛龍創造歷史後 小卡今夏將何去何從?

We saw Leonard's high-arching jumper hang in the air for seemingly an hour before bouncing on the rim for what felt like two, before settling in the basket to eliminate Philadelphia. We saw Leonard and his team fall down 2-0 to Milwaukee before he put the clamps on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

我們彷彿看到倫納德的高位後仰跳投在空中停留了一個小時，然後球在籃筐上跳了兩個小時，最後纔在籃筐裏安頓下來，最終淘汰了費城。我們看到倫納德和他的球隊0-2落後於密爾沃基，然後他又給了字母哥致命的一擊。

And we saw Leonard take the fight to Golden State to claim Toronto's first title and Leonard's second NBA Finals most valuable player e are things you cherish, the pinnacle of athletic endeavors.

我們看到倫納德在與金州勇士隊的比賽中幫助多倫多猛龍獲得隊史第一個總冠軍以及自己的第二個NBA總決賽MVP。這些都是最值得珍視的東西，是作爲一名運動員的巔峯時刻。

When he was dealt to the Raptors last summer, it wasn't where he wanted to go — that was Los Angeles and, preferably, to the Lakers. That preference seemed to change after LeBron James came to town, with the Clippers becoming Leonard's presumed future home.

去年夏天，倫納德被交易到了多倫多猛龍隊——一個他並不是想去的地方。而他當時想去的是洛杉磯，最好是去湖人。但在勒布朗·詹姆斯來到這裏之後，似乎發生了改變，快船就成爲了萊昂納德可能追求的地方。

But Leonard is an all-world compartmentalizer with an almost unmatched ability to focus on the immediate task without letting emotions or distractions get in the way. "I wanted to make history here and that's all I did. I just, I'm still playing basketball no matter what jersey I have on."

但倫納德擁有幾乎無可匹敵的能力—那就是兩耳不聞窗外事，使他能夠專注於眼前的任務，而不讓情緒或分心成爲障礙。他說道：“我想在這裏創造歷史，這就是我所做的一切。我只是，仍然在打籃球，不管我穿什麼球衣。”

Leonard tried to forge a bond with Kyle Lowry despite being traded for Lowry's best friend, DeMar ard said he texted Lowry after the deal and told him, "Let's go do something special. I know your best friend left, I know you're mad, but let's make this thing work out. "

倫納德試圖與洛瑞建立聯繫，儘管他的交易換走了洛瑞最好的朋友德瑪爾·德羅贊。小卡說，交易完成後，他給洛瑞發了短信，告訴他:“咱們去做點特別的事吧。”我知道你最好的朋友走了，你很生氣，但是請讓我們一起面對它，解決它。”

He succeeded. There's a genuine chemistry between the two players — Leonard so basketball-focused and Lowry focused on doing anything he can to win they're here sealed their first title in franchise history.

他成功了。這兩位球員之間產生了真正的化學反應——倫納德如此專注於籃球，而洛瑞則專注於盡他所能贏得比賽。所以他們走到了今天。他們合力獲得了隊史上的首次冠軍。

You can look at it two ways. Leonard helped the Raptors to a title, his work with the team is done, he will forever be a legend in Raptors history and can now join another team.

我們可以從兩方面來看。一是小卡幫助猛龍隊獲得了總冠軍，他和球隊的合作完成了，他將永遠是猛龍隊歷史上的傳奇人物，現在可以去加入另一支球隊了。

Or，The Raptors own Leonard's Bird rights and can offer him a five-year, $189.6 million deal. Other teams can offer a four-year deal worth $140.6 million. Leonard can also negotiate a shorter contract, too, and it may not be about the most money, either. Lifestyle, coach, front office, teammates and city also can play a role in a free agent's decision.

或者, 根據伯德條約，猛龍隊可以給小卡五年1.896億美元的交易。其他球隊可以提供價值1.406億美元的四年合同。倫納德也可以協商一份更短的合同，但是錢對小卡來說應該不是最重要的。生活方式，教練，管理層，隊友和城市都是很重要的考慮因素。
