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.
我们仿佛看到伦纳德的高位后仰跳投在空中停留了一个小时，然后球在篮筐上跳了两个小时，最后才在篮筐里安顿下来，最终淘汰了费城。我们看到伦纳德和他的球队0-2落后于密尔沃基，然后他又给了字母哥致命的一击。
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 award.These are things you cherish, the pinnacle of athletic endeavors.
我们看到伦纳德在与金州勇士队的比赛中帮助多伦多猛龙获得队史第一个总冠军以及自己的第二个NBA总决赛MVP。这些都是最值得珍视的东西，是作为一名运动员的巅峰时刻。
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，伦纳德被交易到了多伦多猛龙队——一个他并不是想去的地方。而他当时想去的是洛杉矶，最好是去湖人。但在勒布朗·詹姆斯来到这里之后，似乎发生了改变，快船就成为了莱昂纳德可能追求的地方。
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."
但伦纳德拥有几乎无可匹敌的能力—那就是两耳不闻窗外事，使他能够专注于眼前的任务，而不让情绪或分心成为障碍。他说道：“我想在这里创造历史，这就是我所做的一切。我只是，仍然在打篮球，不管我穿什么球衣。”
Leonard tried to forge a bond with Kyle Lowry despite being traded for Lowry's best friend, DeMar DeRozan.Leonard 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. "
伦纳德试图与洛瑞建立联系，尽管他的交易换走了洛瑞最好的朋友德玛尔·德罗赞。小卡说，交易完成后，他给洛瑞发了短信，告诉他:“咱们去做点特别的事吧。”我知道你最好的朋友走了，你很生气，但是请让我们一起面对它，解决它。”
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 games.And they're here today.They sealed their first title in franchise history.
他成功了。这两位球员之间产生了真正的化学反应——伦纳德如此专注于篮球，而洛瑞则专注于尽他所能赢得比赛。所以他们走到了今天。他们合力获得了队史上的首次冠军。
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.
我们可以从两方面来看。一是小卡帮助猛龙队获得了总冠军，他和球队的合作完成了，他将永远是猛龙队历史上的传奇人物，现在可以去加入另一支球队了。
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, 根据伯德条约，猛龙队可以给小卡五年1.896亿美元的交易。其他球队可以提供价值1.406亿美元的四年合同。伦纳德也可以协商一份更短的合同，但是钱对小卡来说应该不是最重要的。生活方式，教练，管理层，队友和城市都是很重要的考虑因素。
