By Elliott Teaford, Staff Writer Article Last Updated: 03/04/2008 10:45:46 PM PST SACRAMENTO -- Kobe Bryant has won the NBA championship three times during his career with the Lakers. He has led the league in scoring the past two seasons. He has made 10 consecutive starts for the Western Conference All-Star team. 在老大穿着紫金战袍的这些年里面, 他拿了三次总冠军. 他过去两季蝉连得分王. 明星赛代表西区, 他也连续先发了10季. He has never been named the league's MVP. 但是他从来没有拿过MVP. That might change this season, however. 不过这季可能不一样了. "I think it would be about that time," teammate Lamar Odom said before the Lakers played the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. "I think he's paid his dues. I think he put enough work in, you know what I'm saying?" "他等到头发都白了, "老二在礼拜二对上国王之前说的. "轮也该轮到他了吧. 他做的还不够多吗?" The competition is difficult, with Kevin Garnett helping transform the Boston Celtics into a contender from an also-ran and LeBron James almost single-handedly keeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the thick of the East race. 不过竞争还是很激烈的. KG让过气的球队变成了超赛. LBJ只手维持住了骑士 在东区的竞争力. Also, Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets can't be overlooked and Tim Duncan has the San Antonio Spurs at the top of the West. CP3让黄蜂不再被人忽视. TD? 马刺低调的爬到西区龙头了阿. But Bryant would get Odom's vote if he had one. 不过要是老二可以投票, 他心目中的MVP一定是老大. "I can't see anybody fighting it, saying, `How the heck did Kobe get the MVP award?"' Odom said. "我不觉得有谁可以说'阿? Kobe怎麽可能拿MVP'" Coach Phil Jackson also would cast a ballot for Bryant if he could. (Reporters vote on the awards at the end of the regular season.) 如果禅师可以投票, 他的那票也一定是老大的. (MVP是在常规赛季结束後由记者投票选出来的) "I would always vote for my own player," Jackson said. "I think so. You know, LeBron has had a really great year. His team doesn't have quite the record we have. "不管怎麽样, 我一定投给自己的球员." 禅师说. "我觉得这很应该阿. LBJ 这季是打的不错. 可是骑士的战绩还不能跟湖人比吧." "He has single-handedly made them a team that contends every night." "湖人之所以有今天这样的冲劲, 是他一个人的功劳." The Lakers' lofty status in the West combined with Bryant's commitment this season to a more well-rounded game could sway voters in Bryant's favor. 湖人这季在西区能有这样舒服的排名, 还有老大这季决心打的更全面, 都该 是让人投给他的原因. "Make the case for Kobe?" Jackson said, repeating a question. "It seems like I've been doing this for the last week. He's playing a more rounded game than perhaps in the last two seasons. He's just measuring what the team needs and how it needs to get done." "帮Kobe拉票?" 禅师重复我的问题, "上礼拜的比赛不是表现的很明白了吗? 他的表现比起过去两季更加全面. 他知道我们球队需要的是什麽, 也知道要 怎麽做才能有效果." Jackson went on to praise Bryant's improved defensive play and his increased focus on helping his teammates lift their games. 禅师接着称赞了老大进步了的防守, 以及他努力让队友进步的表现. "He came back Nov. 1 or whenever we started the season (actually, it was Oct. 30), throwing himself into it," Jackson said, referring to Bryant's decision to put his offseason of discontent behind him. "He put himself into the whole concept of playing together with the team. "他11月1号还是什麽时候, 反正就球季开始的时候(其实, 是10月30), 就心里 只想着关於比赛的事了," 禅师当被问到Kobe把放假时候的肥皂剧抛在脑後这 决定的时候说. "他在乎的只有怎麽样能让这球队打的像一支球队." "His teammates were worried about him (during training camp). They were concerned about being left behind. Or ditched, if I can use that term. But he's been totally there for them." "其他队友在训练营的时候都很担心他. 他们担心自己会被留下来. 或者说 是怕被抛弃, 如果我可以用到这种字眼的话. 可是他全心的留下来了." Honors part II: Remarkably enough, Jackson has won the league's Coach of the Year award only once, after leading the Chicago Bulls to a league-record 72 victories in 1995-96. The Bulls went on to win the fourth of their six league titles in the 1990s that season. 虽然禅师的纪录辉煌, 可是他只有在公牛72胜的1995-96球季拿过一次年度 最佳教练. 公牛那年拿下了他们90年代6座冠军的第四座. Jackson downplayed his chances this season. 禅师对於自己这季能不能拿到最佳教练的机率不太重视. "Usually, it's a (coach of a) team that's a surprise team," he said. "Favorites aren't usually given the award. It's teams that surprise people. "一般来说, 都是黑马球队的教练比较有机会啦." "受到期待球队的教练通常都拿不到, 要那种不知道从哪里跳出来的才有." "In the 1980s, it was an honor, too, because the guy who won it was getting fired from his job two years later." "80年代的时候也是种荣耀没错啦. 拿到最佳教练的那家伙2年後就被炒鱿鱼了." ------------------- 为什麽我觉得禅师最後面那些话很好笑 XD --
