来源:http://0rz.tw/043JU 并再度向外电小组致敬 ( ￣□￣)/ <(￣ㄧ￣ ) 老大热爱挑战 It was an optical illusion, Kobe Bryant said. 一切都是幻觉，老大说。 It just looked to us rubes in the audience that he put a team on his back and lugged it past the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. 在我们死老百姓看来，老大似乎把队伍抛在脑後，独自扛起了对付小牛队的重担。 Sure, he scored an NBA-season-high 52 points. But it's only because the rest of his team is so good now. 当然了，因为他轰下了单季最高的52分。 但其实是因为湖人现在很棒。 Yes, he played all but 96 seconds of a 52-minute overtime game, but the franchise isn't working its superstar to death. 没错，他只休息了96秒。 还好这种"特权"没把他累死。 "I coulda went the whole way." he said. "Went the distance." "我可以乾脆别下去。""为了保持差距。"老大说。(第二句应该是说保持两队比分的差距) And there is no intentional irony in any of this. Not from Kobe's end. 然後老大再也没有故意说反话了。(intentional irony，故意讽刺) Which tells us scads about Kobe Bryant and the Lakers of the moment. 这也告诉我们此刻湖人和老大的状况。 A year or two ago, Bryant might have scored 52 ... and needed fluids intravenously when it was over and a day off from practice to recover. And he would have been annoyed with Kwame Brown and Smush Parker and Devean George for standing around and watching him do it. 一两年前，老大可能需要攻下52分...然後就需要把练球的时间也拿来休息。 他也可能对於奶油布朗，趴车小弟，或是蟾蜍乔治站在旁边看他表演感到生气。 That was when he didn't have the sort of help he has now. 那是他孤立无援的时候。 Or at least that's what Kobe believes and, in Lakerland, his is the only opinion that matters. 或者说这是老大相信当时的湖人国唯一的办法。 "We have shooters," he said after the 108-104 victory, the club's 11th in 12 games. "We have players who can make decisions with the basketball." "我们有加农炮部队。"在108-104的胜利之後，也是最近十二场的第十一次胜利。 "也有人能做出很好的策应。"老大说着。 Please explain. 请解释。 "A couple years ago, they could have just run off and I'd have to go one-on-three," he said. "We don't have to do that (now). That's why I was able to get to the basket - because they have to honor the shooters. No matter if Sasha (Vujacic) shoots 1for10 (like he did on Sunday). "一两年前，他们八成只会闪开然後让专业的我来。"老大继续说着。 "现在不同了。这就是为什麽我可以跟篮框更麻吉，因为他们要注意其他炮手。" 即使补刀王杀杀那天命中率低的可怜。 "I mean, down the stretch there it's a four-, five-point game, they're reluctant to come off of him because that might be the one 3-pointer that breaks the game open. They have to stay on our shooters. They have to stay on Pau (Gasol) down low. If they don't, then I'll hit them (with passes) and they'll make the decision." "我的意思是，到了最後很紧张的比赛，他们也无法离开他，(可能指杀杀) 因为他随时可能让局面不一样。对方必须持续看守着我们的炮手，而且必须注意 在低位的炮嘎兽。他们不这麽做的话，我就会让他们哭哭。"(以传球) Bryant isn't completely delusional about this. The Mavericks did, in fact, try to cover him one-on-one most of the game. Which is an invitation for Kobe to hang half a hundred on you. An invitation he accepted for the 22nd time in his career. 老大可没头壳坏去。头壳坏去的是小牛队，几乎从头到尾没有包夹。 彷佛是邀请他展现神蹟。这种邀请在他生涯发生了22次，这种怪要求我这辈子没见过。 And even when they did begin to double-team, late in the game, the Mavericks weren't married to the concept. 到了後来等小牛想起来要包夹，他们根本没概念嘛。 An example: Late in the game, one of the two defenders on Bryant backed away to switch back to another Laker. 比赛尾声，两个球员包住老大，他马上就退後然後把球传了出去。 Bryant almost fell over from shock. 他差点被吓到跌倒。(因为一直没被包夹) "I have not gotten doubled-off-from since Shaq left," he said, referring to Shaquille O'Neal, traded away in 2004. "They doubled off of me and I was sitting there like it was Christmas. "从侠客离开以後我就几乎没有放对单打的机会了，"他提到被交易的大鲨鱼。 "没有包夹耶，我以为要吃圣诞大餐了说。"他说。 "It was a great feeling." "那真是乱苏湖的~"╮(￣▽￣)╭ Winning the game can make a guy feel better about life, and make light of his needing to score 22 points in the fourth quarter to get his team to overtime. A burden Bryant gladly bore because, clearly, he is convinced he has enough help around him to succeed. 赢得这场胜利不但可以让人开心，还让人注意到他在第四节以及延长赛的表现。 攻下22分。 老大很高兴，因为他深信是大家的帮助才让他取得胜利。 Mavericks coach Avery Johnson reflected on the difficulties of defending Bryant. 接着请小牛教头强森发表一下对於防守老大的感觉。应该说，困难又痛苦的感觉。 "The funny thing is we gave him a single look, then we doubled-teamed him, then we gave him a triple-team and he split the triple-team and scored," Johnson said. "真有趣啊，我们的双夹和三夹，在他面前像豆腐一样的被劈开。"强森说。 "We tried to zone him, we tried to funnel him in the trap for a zone and he went the other way, so he didn't cooperate on any of our defenses. "我们试着用区域防守、陷阱式防守，结果他根本不配合嘛!" "He has these nights. Lots of these." "他掌握了全局。这也不是第一次了。"╭（￣m￣*)╮强森说。 Bryant does have more help. Gasol, in particular, "opens the floor" for him and lets him get to the rim - where he is likely to be fouled. Sunday, for instance, he shot 27 free throws - two more than the entire Dallas roster. 老大的确得到了帮助。特别是来自炮嘎兽的。 帮他"清场"好让他靠进篮框。那个几乎可算是送分区的地方。 比如说星期天这场，他有27次罚球，比小牛队多了两次。 Scoring 52 points and playing nearly 51 minutes is fine, he is saying, because he doesn't feel as if he has to every night. 打了51分钟攻下52分还算OK，老大说的，因为他觉得不会每天都这样。 "I really feel fine," he said. "I think I've been averaging 34, 35 minutes (actually 38.2, and 45 over the past four games). My minutes have been down. So at this point in time during the season, I feel fantastic." "我没事的，"他说。"我想平均只打了34、35分钟吧。上场时间有减少了， 所以偶而加班一下不要紧的，我觉得很棒。" (实际上平均38.2分钟，最近4场则是超过45分钟...) As long as The Man says so. A few months ago, he wanted out of town because he believed the situation was hopeless. Now, he says it's no problem putting up 52 ... because the guys around him make it easy. 在他这麽说的同时。几个月以前，他是多麽的无助和绝望。 现在他说不要紧了，因为现在比较容易拿下52分，因为这群伙伴会帮助他。 Well, OK. 嗯，好吧。 So maybe Bryant has turned into a cock-eyed optimist. None of the Lakers are going to break it to him. As long as he's smiling and talking up Sasha Vujacic, it works fine for the Lakers. 也许老大突然变的比较乐观，而且也没人觉得不好。 看着他跟杀杀公主又说又笑，就知道湖人现在这样就对了。 The 42-18 Lakers. 42-18，湖人。 以上，翻译完毕，欢迎指教。对了，cock-eyed是什麽意思?ˋ(′ε‵")ˊ俺还太嫩。 --
