来源: http://0rz.tw/073KY If Bryant regretted having popped off, he never showed it. His legendary ability to play through distractions was made clear during the 2003-04 season, when on several occasions he jumped on a morning flight to Colorado to appear at court proceedings involving his rape case (charges were eventually dropped) and arrived back at Staples Center right before tip-off. Then he would drop, oh, 40 points on a defender who appeared more tired than he did. "There is no player in the history of our game," says Fisher, "who can compartmentalize and separate on-court and off-court like Kobe. It was like all [the trade talk] never happened." 老大从来没有表现出对自己当初发火的後悔．他在压力下打球的能力我们 在２００３－０４球季应该看得很清楚了．他那个时候常常得早上坐飞机 为了那件事的关系去科罗拉多出庭，然後在晚上跳球前回来．然後呢？在 那些看起来比他还累的防守球员身上拿下４０分．”在我们这个时代，从 来没有任何一个球员能跟他一样，把场内外的事情分的这麽清楚，感觉起 来就像当初那些关於交易的肥皂剧从来没发生过一样．”小鱼说． Indeed, with Bryant willingly sharing the ball but still taking over when he had to, the Lakers became one of the league's surprise teams. Bynum, Kobe's whipping boy, was a particular revelation, averaging 13.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.06 blocked shots to spark a 24-11 start before he went down with a dislocated left kneecap and bone bruise on Jan. 13. With sieve-handed Kwame Brown -- who calls to mind Yeats's words, "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold" -- replacing Bynum, L.A. seemed likely to tumble from the playoff race. 在本季老大愿意分球以及在必要的时候跳出来称霸球场的情况下，湖人成 了ＮＢＡ的黑马．霸男，那个当初被老大嫌弃到不行的家伙，表现的也特 别突出，在受伤前湖人战绩为２４－１１平均１３．１分１０．２篮板以 及２．０６个火锅．接下来的湖人由奶油手（套句ｙｅａｔｓ的话”一切 都在崩坏中，而中间也撑不住”-[这句好狠,再度酸了奶油]）替代，湖人 看样子进入季後赛的机会又少了不少． "But then," says Bryant, "came the coup de gra^ce." ”然後，”老大说”致命一击的时候到了．” coup de grace - 这个是说, 当一个快要挂了的人在你面前痛苦, 补刀让 他不要继续痛苦的行为. 很难解释. 有点像是, 一定要 有牺牲, 湖人才能浴火重生这样. THE G.M. Front-office types make their bones on big deals that produce contenders. Unlike his predecessor and mentor Jerry West, who before bringing Shaquille O'Neal and Bryant to L.A. pulled off several smaller trades that helped the Showtime Lakers own the 1980s, Kupchak hadn't made any blockbusters in his seven years at the helm. But on the first day of February he snagged talented frontcourtman Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies, while dumping the underachieving Brown. True, Memphis was in full fire-sale mode, but the deal was still so larcenously one-sided that Kupchak's picture should be in post offices coast-to-coast. Suddenly, Kupchak was the toast of the message boards instead of the guy who couldn't carry West's valise. ＧＭ 管理阶层是靠交易吃饭的．Kupchak不像他的前辈Jerry West(在KO连线之前, 就有用小交易帮湖人弄到了Show time王朝)在７年的总管生涯里，一次让人 惊艳的交易都没有．不过在２月的第一天，他从灰熊那里以水货状元偷来了 耶稣．虽然灰熊是在跳楼大拍卖没错，可是Kupchak这次的表现让人想帮他 出纪念邮票．突然之间，每个人都说Kupchak多好多好，忘了之前大家是怎麽 批评说他没资格接West的棒． Predictably, the deal made him even more uncomfortable and desirous of a background role. "There's a word that describes you," a reporter told him last week. "Self-effacing." "I'll have to look that up," said Kupchak. 这交易让他不自在，更想回到当初小人物的位置． 有个记者对他说，”我想到有个字很能形容你，超不爱出风头．” Kupchak的回答？　”我回去查字典看看．” While Bryant had long let it be known that he was happier when West was in charge, Kupchak never returned fire, and so there was no scorched earth to irrigate when his star finally got happy. "I understand where Kobe is coming from and always have," says Kupchak. "He tasted winning early in his career, then began to think he wouldn't taste it again. He didn't want to get to that stage when the window was starting to shut and he was in another rebuilding situation." 虽然老大一直都表现出他在West当总管的时候比较快乐．Kupchak从来没 有为了这件事反击过，所以在他们的战争结束後，２方还是可以继续共事． ”我理解Kobe的出发点，一直都知道．”Kupchak说”他在很年轻的时候 就拿到了冠军，之後就害怕自己在也看不到冠军戒指的影子．他不想在自己 开始变老的时候待在重建中的球队里．” Kupchak points to the big board in his El Segundo office listing the personnel of every NBA team, a G.M.'s standard wall accoutrement. "Kobe's not the first player to voice frustration with his team," he says. He stops there, but he could have thrown out names such as Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, Jason Kidd and Paul Pierce. Though none did it as loudly as Bryant. Kupchak指着自己办公室那个有全ＮＢＡ人名的大板子说，”Kobe不是唯一 一个指责自己球队的球员．”他并没有继续说下去，不过，ＫＧ，ＬＢＪ， 小孩，还有Pierce都做过一样的事，虽然没有一个人做的这麽明显． THE SUPERSTAR Gasol and Bryant "hit the ground running," in Bryant's words, partly because both have high basketball IQs, partly because the center position, which the 7-foot Gasol will occupy until Bynum returns (possibly in early April), is the easiest one to learn in Jackson's triangle offense. Bryant feels that he now has his ideal supporting cast: two established vets who don't want the responsibility of leading (Gasol and forward Lamar Odom); a bunch of young "gym rats," as he calls forwards Luke Walton and Ronny Turiaf and guards Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic; and an old pro in Fisher, whose steady professionalism leavens Bryant's grinding, get-after-it-every-minute M.O. "I don't have to be as in-your-face as I used to," says Bryant. "I had to do it in the past because guys weren't working as hard as I was. Now everybody's on the same page." 明星 耶稣和老大按照老大的说法是”从一开始就很合得来．”可能因为他们２ 个都有很高的篮球智商，也可能是因为三角战术中中锋的位置最容易学． 老大开始觉得自己有了辅助：有２个不爱出风头的好球员（耶稣和老二） ；一群年轻有动力的小将；还有那个愿意努力到最後一分钟的鱼夫．”我 不再需要跟以前一样老是跟在他们身边罗说．以前我必须这样做是因为大 家都没有跟我一样努力的动力．现在大家的目标都一致了．”老大说． THE COACH "Leadership is something I've always talked about with Kobe," says Jackson, "sometimes in conversations, sometimes through books I've given him. [One was John Heider's The Tao of Leadership.] Kobe's not big on subtlety, but his style of leadership has matured, gotten less confrontational. Of his [league-leading 12] technicals this season, half have come from fighting for his teammates, not from calls that even involved him." 教练 ”我一直都跟Kobe提到领导能力的重要，”禅师说，”有时候是在我们说 话的时候，有时候是藉由我给他的书．kobe不是个内敛的家伙，可是他的 领导方式也慢慢成熟了，不再那麽带着指责性．在这季他１２个Ｔ中，有 一半都是为了队友出头，而不是为了自己．” THE SUPERSTAR Asked what his MVP ballot would look like, Bryant says, "I'm not even thinking about that." But when somebody mentions that the Cleveland Cavaliers' James is a favorite because he's a near one-man team, Bryant, who was averaging 28.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists through Sunday, snaps, "Put me in the East and see what happens." 明星 当被问到他ＭＶＰ会拿到什麽样的票数的时候，老大的回答是，”我没有 在注意那个．”不过当被人提到ＬＢＪ因为数据关系本季是ＭＶＰ热门的 时候，老大（２８．１分６．１篮板５．３助攻）说”你可以把我放到东 区然後看看会是什麽结果．” Bryant has taken steps to repair his image, mostly by communicating "with [his] fans around the world" on his website (KB24.com). He gets gentle grief from teammates for the Nike "Pure Genius" spots that appear on there, featuring Bryant dressed as different historical characters -- George Washington Carver, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein and his favorite, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Why the composer? 老大借着开放他个人网站（KB24.com）和他全世界的球迷沟通来慢慢修复 自己的形象．虽然因为Ｎｉｋｅ最近让他打扮成George Carver,达文西,爱 因斯坦,还有他个人最喜欢的莫札特而被队友调笑．不过为什麽最喜欢莫札 特呢？ "He was the most talented among them, right?" says Bryant. (That could be debated, of course.) Then Bryant adds this: "And I've known more than my share of Salieris." ”他是这些人里面最有天分的不是吗？”（虽然很有争议的空间啦）接着 老大加上了这句话”嫉妒我打压我的人(Mozart的Salieri)也没有少过吧．” He does not elaborate. Chances are, though, that he sees Mozart in himself, the controversial wunderkind (Bryant had just turned 18 when his NBA career began in '96) trying to play through the jealousy and rage of those less talented, which is pretty much everyone. 他并没有多说．不过大概是因为他在莫札特身上看到了自己，受到争议的 天才在旁人的嫉妒和打压下努力． Bryant's redemption is a good L.A. story, but it's not the main one playing out at Staples Center right now. That one's about a team which discovers that, as Jackson says, "adversity made us a little more resilient and appreciative of the things we have." It is also an unfinished tale, as the G.M. begs everyone to remember, but one that will be compelling to the end. 老大的重返荣耀绝对是一个很有趣的ＬＡ故事，可是这并不是staples center 目前的重头戏．这是一个发现到，套句禅师的话”逆境才能让人成长，以及 了解到自己拥有的东西，”的球队．这也是个还在进行中的故事，不过，一定 绝无冷场． ----------------- 脱稿有点久 orz 最近比较忙..
