Kawhi Leonard is out here playing 4D chess.
Kawhi Leonard 籌畫著不為人知的縝密計畫。
He never wanted to play with LeBron James or join a superteam, but he took a
meeting with the Lakers and remained in constant communication anyway.
The Los Angeles Lakers were convinced they had their guy and Kawhi clearly
never gave them a reason to feel differently.
他從來沒打算和LeBron James同隊或加入超級隊伍，但他仍與湖人見面並保持聯絡。
湖人自認他們取得成果，而Kawhi顯然也沒讓湖人感到疑慮。
But it makes sense that he knew exactly what he was doing.
Dragging this whole thing out meant the Lakers ran out of time to sign a
third star.
但是他顯然知道自己在做什麼。
將時間拖下去代表湖人沒時間簽第三個明星。
They also missed out on every half-decent free agent (other than Danny Green,
ironically). Kawhi’s people even contacted the Lakers two hours before
making the Clippers announcement, asking them to hold off on making the
Anthony Davis trade official, according to ESPN.
湖人也錯失了所有次一級的自由球員(當然是除了Danny Green之外)。
Kawhi的團隊甚至在宣布加盟快艇兩小時前請湖人延遲AD交易(ESPN報導)。
And it wasn’t just the Lakers that Leonard drove a knife into.
By helping Paul George escape OKC, he destroyed Russell Westbrook and the
Thunder.
He vaporised the Raptors’ chances of defending their title or even
contending at all.
He ended the Warriors’ dynasty and even indirectly ended Kevin Durant.
被Leonard捅了一刀的不只是湖人。
透過幫助Paul Georage離開雷霆，他摧毀了西河和雷霆。
他消滅了暴龍尋求衛冕或甚至競爭的能力。
他終止了勇士王朝，間接終止了Kevin Durant。
Kawhi was the reason the Raptors were up 3-1 in the Finals, which pushed
Durant to return before he was ready and suffer the most devastating injury
in basketball.
Kawhi是暴龍在總決賽取得3-1領先的原因，這促使Durant在完全康復前上場，並遭遇到對
籃球而言最糟的傷病。
So, Leonard sabotaged one contender and completely annihilated two others all
at once.
Throw in the San Antonio Spurs and that’s four contenders ticked off his hit
list.
On and off the court, Kawhi Leonard is a cold-blooded killer, making moves
none of us thought a Fun Guy was capable of.
換言之，Leonard破壞了一個競爭者並同時完全摧毀另外兩個。
把馬刺加進去，他的名單上已經有四個競爭者打了勾勾。
無論在場上或場下，Kawhi Leonard都是冷血的殺手，沒有人會認為一個方蓋能辦到這樣
的事情。
