在比賽還剩0.3秒時,雙方處于平分,此時萊昂納德一記后仰跳投出手。
As Kawhi fell away toward the baseline, his shottraveled over the outstretched arms of Joel Embiidthen hit the side of the rim, then the front of the rim, then the other side of the rim, not once but twice, before trickling in.
當萊昂納德運球移至底線時,他迎著恩比德舒展的大臂出手,球從籃筐的右側(cè)彈到前面,又彈到左側(cè),來來回回4次,終于!球進了!
It seemed as if all of the NBA was watching and waiting to see if Leonard's shot would fall, andwhen it finally did, the whole NBA came fast and furious.
似乎所有的NBA球員都期待知曉萊昂納德這一球是否能投進,而當此球投進時,整個NBA都在為其瘋狂喝彩。
It was like watching a game of Plinko influenced by both gravity and destiny. It was thebiggest shot in Raptors franchise history.
這就像在看一場受地心引力和命運影響的游戲。這是猛龍隊歷史上最偉大的一次投籃。
Leonard scored 15 of his game-high 41 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of the Raptors'final 15 points. During a five-minute stretch late in the fourth quarter, Leonard was the onlyRaptor to score, leading them to an 87-85 lead in the process.
萊昂納德在第四節(jié)拿下了他季后賽最高分41分中的15分,占猛龍最后15分得分中的13分。在第四節(jié)最后五分鐘的時候,萊昂納德是猛龍隊唯一一個得分的球員,并帶領(lǐng)球隊以87-85領(lǐng)先。
That's not even mentioning the fact that he hit the game-winning fadeaway shot from thebaseline with time expiring over Embiid, when everybody knew he was going to take the lastshot.
這還沒有提到一個事實:每個人都知道萊昂納德將會投最后一球,而他在底線投出的后仰跳投絕殺球時是迎著恩比德投的。
The bottom line is, the Raptors are advancing to the Eastern Conference finals because of KawhiLeonard. No disrespect to DeMar DeRozan, but there is no way this squad gets past the Sixersin this second-round series with him instead of Kawhi.
根本上來說,多虧了萊昂納德,猛龍才得以進入東部決賽。這并不是對德瑪爾.德羅贊的不尊重,但是如果沒有萊昂納德,這支球隊不可能在第二輪的系列賽中超越76人。
The Raptors are now headed to their first conference finals since 2016, but awaiting them willnot be LeBron James. Rather, it will be the closest thing the East has left to James in GiannisAntetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.
自2016年以來,猛龍隊如今第一次殺入東部決賽,但這次等著他們的不是勒布朗-詹姆斯。在某種程度上說,對陣揚尼斯阿德托昆博和他的密爾沃基雄鹿隊與當年對陣詹姆斯和騎士隊幾乎沒有什么區(qū)別。
