Fans' dreams might have come true 布莱恩穿钉鞋? 球迷的梦想曾经可能实现 By Luis Arroyave Tribune staff reporter August 8, 2006, 8:45 PM CDT Many U.S. soccer fans have wondered what would happen if the nation's best athletes played soccer, especially after seeing the United States' disappointing performance in this summer's World Cup. 许多的美国足球迷，特别在看过自己国家在今年世界盃令人失望的表现之後，都在 幻想：假如美国体能最优秀的运动员都是足球员的话，情况会是如何？ One of the athletes that U.S. soccer fans dream about most actually dreamed about playing the sport himself. 事实上，一个美国足球迷最常幻想的运动员小时候曾经把踢足球做为自己的梦想。 When Kobe Bryant's father, Joe, moved his family to Italy, where he was playing pro basketball, then-6-year-old Kobe was introduced to soccer and the sport's culture. Bryant often went to parks in Italy to play basketball and would jump in on a game of soccer before hitting the basketball court. Kobe Bryant的爸爸，Joe，因为在义大利打职业篮球的关系，在Kobe六岁时就把全 家带到义大利去，而这也是Kobe第一次接触到足球和它的文化。Bryant在义大利时 常常到公园打篮球，而有时候就会在打篮球前先踢一踢足球。 "I wasn't anything spectacular," Bryant said. "I would have moments of doing something crazy that really wasn't done on purpose. I'd pull off a nice move that was unintentional. 「我当时一点都不突出，」Bryant说。「我偶而会做出一些惊人的动作，但其实根 本不是刻意做出来的。我会不小心做出一些神奇的动作。」 "I started out at goalkeeper because my arms were so long and I didn't really have a good feel at handling the ball. As I practiced and progressed, they moved me to midfield." 「我一开始的时候是担任守门员，因为我的手臂非常的长，而且我当时还不是很会 盘球。後来经过持续的练习和进步，他们就把我调到了中场。」 The Bryants moved back to the U.S. in 1991. With few kids playing soccer in his Philadelphia neighborhood, Bryant turned his attention strictly to basketball. Bryant全家在1991年的时候搬回了美国。因为在费城家乡太少小孩在踢足球，所以 Bryant就把注意力全部放在了篮球上面。 Bryant never played high school soccer, but he credits his playing days in Italy for helping his basketball game. Bryant在高中的时候完全没有踢足球，但是他认为他在义大利踢过足球对於他篮球 的成就有很大的帮助。 "I'm comfortable [with basketball] footwork because I played soccer," Bryant said, "from changing up rhythms to foot speed, to being comfortable with having my right foot as my pivot foot and my left foot as my pivot foot." 「小时候踢球对於我在篮球的步法方面有很大的帮助，」Bryant说，「从变换节奏 到脚步速度，还有个别利用双脚做轴心脚等等。」 Bryant entered the NBA straight from high school and has won three championships with the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant在高中毕业後就直接加入了NBA，并在湖人队赢了三次NBA总冠军。 What would have happened if he had stayed in Italy? 要是他当时留在义大利呢？ "I would have kept playing [soccer], that's for sure," Bryant said. "I loved basketball so much, but I also wanted to play for AC Milan. That was my team growing up." 「我一定会继续踢足球的，」Bryant说。「我非常的爱篮球，但是我也很想加入AC 米兰踢球。那是我从小就支持的球队。」 Following AC Milan these days has been a challenge for Bryant with his schedule, but he says it's getting easier with the increase in Internet coverage and soccer channels. 时时关注AC米兰不是一个繁忙的Bryant可以轻松做到的事，但是他说因为网路报导 和足球频道增加的关系使得他可以较以前更容易取得相关消息。 Bryant attended the Brazil vs. Japan World Cup match this summer in Germany with his wife. He hopes to attend an AC Milan match. Bryant在今年世界盃和他的老婆一起到德国观看了巴西对日本那场球赛。他希望以 後能有机会去现场看AC米兰的比赛。 "To this day, I've never seen my team, AC Milan, play in person," Bryant said. "My mother never let me go to games in Europe. She'd say, 'No, it's too violent. What happens if the fans go crazy and [you get] squished up against the fence?'" 「到目前为止，我还没能够亲眼目睹我最爱的球队，AC米兰比赛，」Bryant说。「 在欧洲的时候我妈从来没有让我去现场看过球。他会说：不，太危险了。要是现场 球迷太疯狂然後你被挤到栅栏边的话怎麽办？」 On Saturday, Bryant emceed Nike's pep rally for FC Barcelona in Los Angeles. Bryant was unable to participate in the event's soccer activities because of recent knee surgery, but he insists he can "still put it in the net." 在周六的时候，Bryant担任了Nike在洛杉矶为FC巴塞隆纳举办的欢迎会的主持人。 Bryant因为膝盖刚开完刀的关系导致他没有办法亲自下场参加这项欢迎会的足球玩 乐活动，但是他坚持说他还有能力「把球射进网里。」 Bryant and Barcelona star Ronaldinho met for the first time on stage at the event and exchanged phone numbers. Imagine if Bryant met Ronaldinho under different circumstances this summer. Not on a stage in Hollywood, but on the world's biggest soccer stage in Germany. Bryant在欢迎会的台上和巴塞隆纳巨星Ronaldinho第一次碰面并交换了电话号码。 想像Bryant今年夏天是在不一样的情况下和Ronaldinho碰面；不在好莱坞的台上， 而在德国，世界最高的足球殿堂。 "If myself, Tracy McGrady and LeBron James had a soccer ball at our feet instead of a basketball at 2 years old, with our size, it could have been something," Bryant said. "If we had played soccer all our lives, I think [the U.S. soccer team] would have been pretty potent." 「假如我，Tracy McGrady和Lebron James从小是跟着足球长大而不是篮球的话， 以我们的身材来说，我们有可能会很特别，」Bryant说。「如果我们一生都在踢足 球，我想美国足球国家代表队应该会挺强大的。」 -- Kobe踢球(Nike广告): http://youtube.com/watch?v=W2twtVAFNwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u_aRGuq1_c&NR --
