Kawhi Leonard,who won the 2014 NBA Championship with the Spurs and was named the Finals Most Valuable Player,finished the 2016-17 season with averages of 25.5 points,5.8 rebounds,3.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game in the regular season,and 27.7 points,7.8 rebounds,4.6 assists and 1.7 steals in the playoffs.Then he was selected to the All-NBA First Team for the second time in his career,as well as earning All-Defensive First Team honors for the third time in three years.He's hopeful the playoffs happen to him again next season.
He lived up to his reputation as the quiet man of the NBA in Beijing on Friday,but that didn't mean he wasn't enjoying himself.The San Antonio Spurs star rarely gets too animated—at least off the court.However,as he explained,people shouldn't read too much into it—it's simply his humble manner.
Two-time All-Star Leonard is on week-long trip to China - his first visit here - until Aug 24 to promote basketball.Leonard hosted a basketball clinic in Beijing on Sunday for talented migrant school-kids,and on Saturday also met fans at NBA 5v5,the league's five-on-five tournament for elite players in China.
The 26-year-old will then pay a visit to the NBA Academy Zhejiang in Zhuji,an elite training center which opened last November,to put the young talent there through their paces.“Just make sure that you also take care of your school work.If you are not fortunate enough to get into the NBA,you still can get a scholarship,a degree.”
Leonard will wrap up his trip by making a special appearance at the NBA Play-zone in Shanghai,an NBA-themed family entertainment destination.After that,he's back home to focus on the build-up to the new season.

The Mandarin version of The Sound of Music will return to Beijing from Aug 18 to Sept 3,after its first tour of the country last year.Performed first in July 2016,the musical,produced by Seven Ages,a Beijing-based company devoting to adapting classical Western musicals into Chinese versions,has been staged more than 100 times and attracted over 100,000 people.
The Broadway show,based on the book The Trapp Family Singers,which was written by Maria Von Trapp about her real-life experiences and published in 1949,made its debut in 1959.With music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II,it won five Tony Awards,including Best Musical.When the Oscar-winning film with the same title was screened in China in the 1970s,the movie,which was released by Twentieth Century Fox in 1964,was very popular,especially its songs,such as Do-Re-Mi and Edelweiss.The Broadway production and the production by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber both toured China in 2008 and 2014,which expanded its Chinese fan base.
The upcoming tour will see actors,including 11-year-old Beijinger Qiu Jiahao and 5-year-old Liang Xiaoxian, play the seven children in the family.Fu Zhenhua,a graduate of the Shanghai Theater Academy,and Dang Wenwei,a graduate of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music,will play the roles of Captain Georg von Trapp and Maria Rainer.
"My favorite aspect of this musical is the way it takes a look at various kinds of love we experience as human beings and even the love of things spiritual and unexplainable.And that is what I like most about The Sound of Music－it really is the sound of love," says Graves,a veteran Broadway director,who has lived and worked in China since 2002.
After Beijing,the musical will be staged in Shenzhen in December and Shanghai next January.
