Kawhi Leonard is finally becoming the Spurs' go-to guy 原文网址:http://ppt.cc/ymsc 新手试翻想练习英文，请多多指正谢谢~ At some point, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker will retire or decline,leaving the fate of the San Antonio Spurs in Kawhi Leonard's hands. Such a transition has been rumored for years, but only now are we starting to see it. 在未来的某天，Duncan、Ginobili、Parker会退休会变弱，并将刺刺的命运交到Leonard 的大手中，像这样的谣言已经流传已久，但是到了现在，我们终於要开始见证这件事了。 After a slow start to the season, Leonard has emerged as one of the Spurs' go-to threats. He's second on the team in scoring and finally upped his usage rate -- the percentage of possessions he finishes while on the floor -- to well above the 20 percent threshold that separates primary options from role players. Tony Parker still drives the engine, but with Duncan and Ginobili pacing themselves for the long season, Leonard has often been the finisher. 在一个较晚的开季後，Leonard成为刺刺的其中一个威胁人物，他是队上得分第二高的球 员并且逐渐提高上场时间，他在场上的持球时间比例超过区别主要球员或脚色球员20% 门槛。 Parker依旧担任马刺的引擎，但随着Duncan跟Ginobili为了漫长的赛季放慢脚步时， Leonard更常担任终结攻势的角色。 The Spurs are running more plays for Leonard, though they are best classified as different options in their normal offense than specific isolation sets designed for Leonard and Leonard only. This game-sealing three-point play against the 76ers is an exception -- it was a set designed specifically for Leonard in a tight spot -- but also illustrates the Spurs' willingness to give Leonard more responsibility. 刺刺开始让Leonard跑更多的战术，虽然刺刺被定位为一支善於拥有各式进攻选择的队伍 ，而不是跑特定人员的战术，甚至是专门给Leonard的战术。 但是对76人的最後那个三分打是个例外，这是一组专门为Leonard在关键时刻设计的战术 ，这也说明了刺刺愿意赋予Leonard更多的责任。 And yes, it's all part of the plan, as Gregg Popovich confirmed in his blunt way to Michael Lee of the Washington Post: "We're trying to loosen up a bit and give him more of a green light," Popovich said. "He's getting more license. When you're a young kid, you're going to defer to Timmy and Manu and [Tony]. Now it's like, ‘To heck with those guys. The Big Three, they're older than dirt. To hell with them. You're the Big One. You've got to go do your deal.' So, we're trying to get him to be more demonstrative in that regard." 让Leonard接班的确在POP的计画内,这在华盛顿邮报的专访得到证实 POP说：“我们对Leonard亮起绿灯””他学会越来越多技能。当你还是小鬼的时候，你 会跟着Duncan、Ginobili以及Parker打球。” ”现在三巨头已经比灰尘还老了，管他们去死吧，你才是BIG ONE，你必须要做你该做的 事”，我们试着让他在这方面有更多的表现。 Leonard is certainly soft-spoken, but that shouldn't be mistaken for a lack of desire for taking on this role. As SB Nation's Pounding the Rock notes: Just don't confuse coachability with being meek. Even if he won't say so, Leonard wants the ball and it's obvious that he thinks he's ready. Leonard也许不太讲话，但不该被认为缺乏欲望去承担BIG ONE这个角色，就像SB Nation's Pounding the Rock所描述： ”别被他的温驯混淆了，即使他不会这样说,但Leonard想要球，而且明显的他已经准备好 了。” The next step therefore isn't necessarily loosening him up, as Popovich notes publicly. It's sharpening Leonard's tools,which includes his post-up skills, his ability to read help defenses and his ball-handling. What better way to do so than by giving him experience in November games the Spurs can win anyway without really exerting themselves? 不过刺刺的下一步不一定是让Leonard有无限开火权，如同POP公开声称的：他要Leonard 将他的武器磨练得更锋利，包括低位技巧、协防及持球能力。刺刺11月在还没发挥完整的 团队实力下能赢球，又能让Leonard得到更多经验值，有什麽比这更好的方法呢？ --
