多伦多-整个竞技场站起来,高呼“ MVP”,Kawhi Leonard返回多伦多,并在星期三晚上获得冠军戒指的同时被庆祝为冠军。
一个赛季后,伦纳德离开了猛龙队,加盟了快船队。但是多伦多球迷终于感谢伦纳德帮助加拿大获得了第一个NBA总冠军。
“就像马克西姆斯再次成为角斗士一样,”快船队主教练Doc Rivers在与猛龙队比赛之前说道。 “他是冠军,并且光荣地以正确的方式做了一切。我刚才在开玩笑,这是一个很好的介绍。”
在公共广播电台播音员赫比·库恩(Herbie Kuhn)在首发阵容中引入其他四名快船之后,猛龙队展示了近两分钟的致敬视频,回顾了上赛季球迷们欢呼的伦纳德与猛龙队的冠军争夺战。在某一时刻,灯光完全熄灭,只听见了伦纳德在东部半决赛对阵费城的第七场比赛中获胜的伦纳德在第3场比赛中获胜的3场比赛,然后表现出伦纳德尖叫的反应。
在那段漆黑的时间里,猛龙队追逐伦纳德的步伐,在球场上射出一记角球时,脚步上的脚印照亮了伦纳德的脚步。
伦纳德说:“这次的旅行很有趣,”快船在早晨的射击比赛中获得了冠军。 “去年我在教练组,前台和球员那里度过了愉快的时光。那是一次很棒的经历。”
随后,当球迷们开始高呼“ MVP”时,他在半场与前猛龙队友和教练会面时,总决赛MVP受到了阵阵掌声。 最后,好朋友凯尔·劳瑞(Kyle Lowry)将伦纳德(Leonard)的冠军戒指递给了他,快船的明星似乎在戴上戒指之前迅速地揉了揉眼睛。
随后,伦纳德向歌迷表示感谢,播音员说:“恭喜你,北方!谢谢你。”
伦纳德(Leonard)和他的赞助商纽巴伦(New Balance)在这座城市有一个大型广告牌,感谢多伦多。猛龙队组织也增加了广告牌,以庆祝伦纳德返回多伦多。
里弗斯说:“这是输血。”当一名球员赢得冠军以及与这座城市的关系时会发生什么。 “比尔·帕切尔斯说过……但是,实际上,当您赢得冠军头衔时,您将终生联系在一起,不仅与粉丝群还有与您一起赢得该奖项的组织中的那些球员。令人惊讶的是,我经常与每个人交谈在波士顿只有一个人。”
里弗斯补充说:“ Kawhi将与这座城市相连。” “更衣室里的每个人都和他一生在一起。”
多伦多教练尼克·奈瑟(Nick Nurse)在与伦纳德(Leonard)一起担任主教练的第一个赛季就赢得了冠军,他呼应里弗斯(Rivers)的观点。
护士说:“我认为凯尔在鼓舞人心的集会中,在游行中最好地说,'我们都是毕生的兄弟'。” “由于我们去年取得的成就,我所有的人都将与Kawhi联系在一起,而我们所有人都在那个更衣室里。”
TORONTO -- With the entire arena standing on its feet and chanting "MVP," Kawhi Leonard returned to Toronto and was celebrated as a champion as he received his championship ring on Wednesday night.
Leonard left the Raptors after one season to join the LA Clippers in free agency. But the Toronto fans finally got to thank Leonard for helping deliver the first NBA title to Canada.
"It's like Maximus coming back as the gladiator," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said before playing the Raptors. "He was the champion and just did everything honorably and the right way. I was joking earlier that would be a great intro."
After public address announcer Herbie Kuhn introduced the four other Clippers in the starting lineup, the Raptors showed a nearly two-minute tribute video revisiting Leonard's championship run with the Raptors last season as fans cheered on. At one point, the lights went completely dark with just the play-by-play heard of Leonard's game-winning 3 in Game 7 against Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference semifinals, before showing the reaction of Leonard screaming.
During that time that it went dark, the Raptors retraced Leonard's steps before that corner shot on the court with foot prints lighting up on the court while the play-by-play was being played.
"The ride was fun," Leonard said of the championship run during the Clippers' morning shootaround. "I had a great time last year with the coaching staff, front office and the players. It was a great experience."
The Finals MVP then was introduced to a thunderous applause as he met with his former Raptors teammates and coaches at halfcourt as fans began to chant "MVP." Finally, good friend Kyle Lowry handed Leonard his championship ring and the Clippers' star appeared to rub his eyes real quick before putting the ring on.
Leonard then acknowledged the fans, raising his hands in the air as the announcer said, "Congratulations Kawhi! The North thanks you."
Leonard and his sponsor, New Balance, had a large billboard go up in the city thanking Toronto. And the Raptors organization also had billboards go up celebrating Leonard's return to Toronto.
"It's a blood transfusion," Rivers said of what happens when a player wins a championship and his relationship with that city. "Bill Parcells said it ... but it really is, you're connected for life when you win a title, not only with the fanbase but those players in the organization that you won it with. It's amazing how often I talk to every single one of those guys in Boston."
"Kawhi will be connected to this city," Rivers added. "And every guy in the locker room with him for the rest of his life."
Toronto coach Nick Nurse, who won the title in his first season as head coach with Leonard, echoed Rivers' sentiment.
"I think Kyle said it best at the pep rally, at the parade, that 'We're all brothers for life,'" Nurse said. "I'm going to be connected to Kawhi for life because of what we achieved last year and all of us who were in that locker room are."
