#傳承沉默的偉大
#聖城之子Leonard
“I want to to be an all-star and MVP of the regular season,” said Leonard. “I’m trying to be one of the greatest players so whatever level that consists of is where I want to take my game.”
「我想成為全明星和例行賽MVP，」Leonard對記者說，「我想成為偉大之林的一員，所以不論成就偉大之路是由怎樣的等級與強度所組成，那都是我必須去挑戰的事情。」
下季才25歲的Kawhi Leonard
他真的是一個大打我臉的傢伙
我上季季中曾說他應該只是防守型綠葉前鋒
但下半季他表現之強勢
真的完全無法讓我反駁
而或許我們也只能說
#這就是為何聖安東尼奧為聖安東尼奧吧!
初入選秀時Leonard是個三分命中率僅25%
沒有進攻可言的防守型球員
但是Popovich卻願意用他最疼愛的George Hill
去換來取得這個謎樣新秀前鋒的選秀籤
而Leonard也真的是個聰敏的孩子
他聽話、他勤奮
他明白聖安東尼奧的文化
馬刺給他知識與經驗
他也回報給他們穩定的成長
兩年後
Leonard成為了聯盟首屈一指的防守型全能前鋒
也在NBA掙得了屬於自己的地位
很快的Leonard成為了先發
他與偉大的Tim Duncan一同作戰
這時許多人才慢慢發現
這兩人的身影...
#居然可以完全疊合在一起
場上的沉默
用最簡單的方法解決著對手
場下偶有一抹淡淡的微笑
且永遠說著最謙遜的話語
他以最快的速度
觀看並學習著偉大聖城的一切
樸實、平淡、團隊
是當時Leonard的寫照
只是那年的初夏 Ray Allen的一顆底角三分
卻默默地改變了所有事情...
#這樣真的就夠好了嗎?
於是時間走到2014年6月10日
僅僅一年後
這隔一年的初夏之時
是Leonard的收成之日
而29分與關鍵性的勝利則是他送給馬刺的禮物
Popovich在場邊看到了一切
我想他和馬刺球團應該都已經意識到
或許有些比他們想像得都還要快
但未來...已經到了
五天後
Leonard多了一只戒指
那是多少傳奇都夢寐以求的戒指
且同時
他還比別人多拿了一座獎盃
而那
是代表著馬刺與他辛勤不懈的最終獎勵
#那是FinalMVP的獎盃
如今
Leonard已經走在聯盟小前鋒之林的頂端
並成為了馬刺這支21世紀最偉大球隊的未來王牌
只是季後賽第一輪時...
去年 他們成為了聯盟最棒的球隊
今年 卻僅僅只有第一輪...
是的
大家都記得那史詩的七戰
快艇與Chris Paul輾碎了馬刺的夢
而大家也都記得GDP想要連霸的夢
但如今夢卻已經碎了
Leonard在最終第七戰時屢次急躁的單打不進
儘管從沒人指責他
但他明白自己如果有投進 或是選擇不去投那幾球
#說不定事情就會不一樣...
同時他也驚覺
走在聯盟頂端是不夠的
成為偉大球隊的王牌是不夠的
#他必須讓自己成為歷史上最偉大的其中一個
就像那個大家總笑著說和他很像的身影一樣偉大
要走到那樣的地步
也唯有走到那樣的地步
他才真的有資格接下這支偉大球隊的未來
One of the greatest players.
That is where I want to take my game.
品嘗過13年的淚水
Leonard成長為球隊的核心
經歷過14年的歡喜
Leonard成長為球隊的未來
而終於在15年他接手了球隊的關鍵時刻
但卻也同時體會到這樣深深的苦楚...
那麼明年的Leonard
又會開始走向怎樣的全新模樣?
也許在幾年後的初夏
Tim Duncan年邁的背影終於要漸漸淡出在籃球場上時
將會隱隱然有那麼一個身影
一個與他相似、貼近、重疊
甚至是從靈魂中徹底複製的身影
重新甦醒在球場
那是偉大意志的傳承
也將是這座偉大城市正式的交接
明年的Leonard
就會朝這樣的路走去吧!
因為他之所以是他
就是因為這座城市
和這個人
不是嗎?
「我永遠不會離開這裡，我只想在這裡多打久一點。」
傳承前人的身影
走出自己的故事
傳承城市的榮耀
走出自己的時代
沉默、強韌、偉大
這是聖城的信念
而他 就是聖城之子
他就是
Kawhi Leonard
#聖城之子 #傳承聖城精神 #繼續偉大
In his last All-Star Game, Michael Jordan was the main man during all the night.
Before the game began, Vince Carter finally offered him his starting spot. Both T-Mac and Iverson had suggested to Jordan to start in their place.
Michael started the game erratic, missing 8 of his 10 first shots, but the other players did not play better. The first quarter was the lowest scoring opening period in 50 years (18-23), and the first half the lowest since 1976 (55-52).
At halftime Jordan was serenaded by Mariah Carey in a ceremony where the singer performed 3 songs including the theme Hero.
The third quarter was played in a higher pace. McGrady scored 17 points to give the East a 93-86 advantage with 12 minutes left. With 2:04 to go in the period, Jordan sank two free throws to score his 252 point in the All-Star Game and surpass Abdul-Jabbar as the leading scorer at that time.
In the last quarter Iverson & Jordan kept the East leading in the scoreboard, but the West could tie the game in the last minutes (120-120).
The first OT almost finished with another memorable game winning shot by Jordan, who sank a jumper over Shawn Marion with 5 seconds left. But the last play still has a surprise with Jermaine O'Neal fouling Kobe Bryant's 3 pointer attempt. Kobe only scored two free throws, and the game went into a second overtime (138-138).
This extra-time was Kevin Garnett Show. He made 7 points and collected his first All-Star Game MVP with 37 points on 17-24 FG.
Ben Wallace and Brad Miller became the second/third undrafted player to participate in the NBA All-Star Game, John Starks in 1994 was the first.
MVP: Kevin Garnett (West)
Kobe Bryant's 20th and final NBA season came to a close on Wednesday night. He finished it exactly as he spent most of it: remorselessly and gleefully gunning.
And everybody loved it, because it was perfect. It couldn't have been more perfect.
In his last game as a professional basketball player, Bryant fully embraced the Viking funeral that began when he announced on Nov. 29, 2015, that this would be his last ride. With Los Angeles Lakers fans, NBA legends, former teammates, Hollywood royalty, his wife and his children watching his every move, Kobe entertained us all one more time with a performance that seemed, even as it was unfolding, like the stuff of fiction.
Shaquille O'Neal wasn't kidding. He really did call for 50 during an "Inside the NBA" chat last month. Back then, Kobe said no. On Wednesday, he changed his mind.
He scored 60 points — the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season, topping Anthony Davis' 59; the sixth 60-point game of his career, second-most all-time behind fellow Laker great Wilt Chamberlain; and the most points ever by a player in his final NBA game (joining, of all people, Jordan Crawford and Eddie House!). He did so on 50 field-goal attempts, the most by any player in any one game dating back to the 1983-84 season, to lead the Lakers to a thrilling and unbelievable 101-96 win over the visiting Utah Jazz.
In yet another season full of losing that saw the Lakers finish with a franchise-worst 17-65 record, Kobe found a way to go out a winner ... and to go out a winner in the most precisely, 10-out-of-10 Kobe way humanly possible.
Kobe becomes one of just four players in NBA history to take 50 shots in a game, joining Wilt, Elgin Baylor and Rick Barry. In going 6 for 21 from 3-point land, he becomes just the sixth player ever to cast off from beyond the arc more than 20 times in a game, alongside record-holder J.R. Smith (naturally), Damon Stoudamire, Vince Carter, George McCloud and Michael Adams.
The run-up to Kobe's 1,556th and final NBA game featured loads of pomp and circumstance, from all manner of "thanks for the memories" swag for the fans to diamond-studded golden retirement rings for Bryant and his wife, Vanessa. Before the opening tip, the Lakers unveiled their contribution to the season-long series of tribute videos lauding the career of the 18-time All-Star, 15-time All-NBA selection, five-time NBA champion and 2007-08 Most Valuable Player:
Marcus Camby figured his night was over.
Big lead, fourth quarter, road game in Houston the next night. Camby was all set to kick back and watch the final quarter of the Denver Nuggets' 110-99 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.
But when Cleveland sliced Denver's 25-point lead to 13 with 7:23 remaining in the game, Camby was sent back in. He scored four of his season-high 26 points in the final quarter and grabbed six of his 17 rebounds.
"It's always in the backs of our minds about blowing leads," Camby said. "The guys stepped up down the stretch."
Denver needed to the way LeBron James was playing. James finished with his first triple-double of the season -- 30 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds -- and 10th of his career.
"We contained him," said Allen Iverson, who finished with 25 points and nine assists. "That's all you can do with players like that. You can't play this game scared."
The Cavaliers cut Denver's cushion to 103-98 on Damon Jones' 3-pointer with 3:15 left in the game. But Denver closed the game out with a 7-1 run.
The struggling Cavaliers have now lost four of their last five and dropped into a first-place tie with Washington for the best record in the Eastern Conference.
"We've just got to regroup," James said.
The Cavaliers received a scare when Denver's J.R. Smith fell on James' right ankle when both were scrambling for a loose ball late in the fourth quarter. James sat out all of 8 seconds before checking back in.
"It's been better," James said of the ankle.
Carmelo Anthony said earlier in the week this was a painful game to miss. He was looking forward to going up against his good friend James. The two will always be linked as James went first overall in the 2003 NBA draft and Anthony was picked third.
Anthony said he'd watch from his living room as he served his second-to-last game for the suspension he received for his role in a fight with the New York Knicks. Anthony's 15-game suspension will be done after he sits out the game Saturday night. He'll be back Monday night as Denver hosts Memphis.
James wasn't the least bit sorry that Anthony didn't suit up.
"Nah, he ain't my teammate -- no way," James said. "They already killed us on the offensive end, it ain't going to help it. As a competitor, of course I miss him, but not on the court. They definitely are going to be a dangerous team."
Smith was suffering from the flu and missed the Friday morning shootaround. He didn't come out onto the court until 6:56 remaining in the first quarter yet he finished with 14 points, the most he's scored since coming off his 10-game suspension earlier this month.
"I feel better," he said.
The Nuggets were gushing over Camby's play after the game.
"I've never seen him score like that," Smith said.
"He played like an All-Star center for us," coach George Karl said.
The Nuggets have watched third quarter leads slip away in five home games this season. But not on Friday night.
"We'll take it," Iverson said. "By 50 points or a point, we'll take it. If we'd have lost, it would have been bad. I like the results we had."
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown certainly wasn't pleased. He was clearly frustrated after the game.
"I don't know what it is yet, but I'm definitely going to find out," he said. "We keep thinking offensively we're bad, offensively we're bad, offensively we're bad. Yes, we will be bad offensively if we come down and take the first shot, if we come down and take a jump shot without moving the basketball, if we come down and take a shot after one pass. That's what we did tonight. That's the way the Denver Nuggets play. That's the way the Seattle SuperSonics play. That's how teams out West play. They want to get out and run the floor and if we fall into that trap, we will get beat every single time on the floor. ... We don't play a rat race. We don't play a high-tempo basketball game."
