来源：http://0rz.tw/c23wn By J.A. Adande ESPN.com Kobe Bryant's 48 points in the Lakers' 123-121 overtime victory against the SuperSonics weren't the most remarkable part of his evening. We've seen him go for 40-plus before -- 86 times prior to Monday night, to be precise. Kobe在对抗超音速的延长赛中，以48分帮助湖人以123-121取得最後的胜利。但这不是他 最令人称道的一次。精确来说，在周一晚间之前他已经完成86次超越40分以上的任务了。 The newsworthy part came afterward, in an on-court interview with KCAL TV, in which he talked about injured center Andrew Bynum. Bryant called Bynum a "terrific, terrific player," then dropped this quote: "We're a championship-caliber team when he's in the lineup." 赛後最有报导价值的是Kobe在场上接受KCAL TV访问时提到受伤的中锋Bynum。Kobe称 Bynum是一个相当相当棒的球员，然後他下了一个注解：当Bynum在我们先发名单时，我们 将是一支足够冲击总冠军的球队！ For Bryant to speak of these Lakers in championship terms, now that's significant. It was an unexpected bit of good news on the same day the Lakers learned Bynum will miss the next eight weeks while recovering from the knee injury he suffered Sunday night against Memphis. 当Kobe提到这支湖人和总冠军这个名词时，这是相当令人侧目的。这也是湖人将要面对 Bynum受伤带来八周缺席时间预期之外的一个算是好的消息。 Throughout their strong start to the season, Bryant was cautious with his praise, reserving judgment. While Lakers fans said, "See?!", Bryant's remarks were more wait-and-see. Now, halfway through the season, Bynum apparently has shown enough for Bryant to use the c-word. It makes you wonder if his eyes are no longer wandering, if he thinks the most realistic place to satisfy all of his wants and needs is his current address. 经历了强悍的开季後，Kobe对他口中一些称赞的话显得非常谨慎，而且保留评断目前实力 的言语。当湖人迷说：看到了没？，Kobe口中仍是"Wait-and-See"。而现在经历半个球季 後，Bynum的表现让Kobe不得不使用c开头的这个字了。你会想要了解，是否他的眼里已经 不再感到困惑了？他目前是否对他的渴望有了最实际的判定？ Until he publicly rescinds his trade demand, the clock still is ticking down toward his early termination option in the summer of 2009. But the second-hand movements get a little quieter whenever Bryant makes a statement like that one. If he honestly thinks Bynum can develop into the best center west of Dwight Howard, if he believes the Lakers can get back to the Finals while he still is in his prime, then there's no reason for him to walk away from the final two years and almost $48 million on his contract. Any team with another superstar on the roster wouldn't have enough salary cap space to give Bryant that kind of money. And any team close enough to a ring probably wouldn't want to ship too many of those pieces to L.A. to bring in Bryant. 当他公开的说明他取消被交易的要求，而其实如果Kobe选择2009年终止合约，那这个时钟 也正在倒数计时着。不过目前这个消息是显得比较沈静的。如果如他所想的，Bynum可以 成长到成为西区的D. Howard的话，如果他相信这支湖人队可以在他颠峰时重返总冠军战 的话，那他目前就没有理由会在这两年放弃他4800万美元的合约，而其他拥有超级巨星的 球队也没有足够的薪资空间容纳Kobe的到来。而其他接近总冠军的球队也可能不会想要丢 掉其他的球员来换取Kobe的加入。 The Lakers never were eager to trade Bryant, only willing. So they coexisted in an awkward truce. And it appears they have made the most unlikely reconciliation since Tony and Carmella Soprano. 而湖人也从不渴望去交易Kobe走，除非Kobe想要。所以他们目前处在一个尴尬的停战状态 下。 Now comes the hard part. The Lakers are about to hit the most difficult stretch of the schedule, including only three home games in February. Without Bynum for the past game and a half, the Lakers were barely able to beat two of the worst teams in the conference. It took all of Bryant's 85 points. 不过目前又来到了一个困境中。湖人之後将要面对赛程上最艰难的时刻，包含二月只有三 场主场比赛的赛程。失去Bynum後的近一场半的比赛中，湖人甚至很难打败联盟中的两支弱 队，而且全靠Kobe两场比赛中拿了85分的帮忙。 It's not that he was able to do it. By now, it's obvious he could score 50 whenever he wanted. It's that he was willing to do it, that he feels vested enough in this team's welfare to go all in for victory. He has showed increasing trust in his teammates throughout the season; Monday, they turned to him, and he bailed them out. 这不是他能不能做到这档事，目前来看，只要他想，他随时都能拿到50分以上。这也是他 过去被期待能做到的，这也是他在球队中被赋予拥有的权力来全力为球队获胜的方式。不 过本季他对他的队友们展现了更高程度的信任，但周一，队友又再度对他求救，他又再度 拯救了球队。 That victory in Seattle, secured when Bryant scored the final six points of overtime, gave the Lakers a 26-11 record. It tied them with Phoenix for the best in the Western Conference. The Lakers get the Suns at home Thursday. If L.A. beats Phoenix, not only will it clinch the season series -- and homecourt advantage in a tiebreaker situation, should they meet in the playoffs -- but this young squad will have all the psychological ammunition it needs to take on the team that ended their season the past two years. 周六对超音速的胜利，全靠Kobe在OT拿下最後的六分，将湖人推上26-11的战绩。追平太 阳成为西区的龙头。周四湖人将在主场面对太阳，如果湖人能击败太阳，他们不止会在 本季对太阳的对战中得胜，未来如果和太阳战绩相同时，湖人将会保有季後赛的主场优势 。但这支年轻的球队将需要全力的提升心里的战力，来对抗这支连两场终结他们赛季的球 队。 In their two months without Bynum, the Lakers will fall from the top of the Western Conference. The question is, how much? How much fort-holding can Bryant do, and how much will he have left when Bynum comes back? Will the Lakers be able to recapture the flow that created this seven-game winning streak they are on right now? 在他们失去Bynum的两个月里，湖人将可能从西区龙头的地位掉下来。但问题是，会掉到 哪去？Kobe可以守住多少城池？在Bynum回来之前他可以撑在哪里？湖人将可以重新找回 他们七连胜中流畅的跑动吗？ Those are fair questions for anyone to ponder. As for the answers, Bryant reminded us once again Monday: It's not about what anyone else believes. His is the only opinion that matters. 这对每个人来讲都是个难说的答案。不过就像Kobe在周一给大家的答案一样，重点不在於 其他人怎麽想，他的信念才是湖人唯一的答案。 --
