http://tinyurl.com/ba35h6 问问他的对手，他知道NBA最危险的球员是穿紫色和金色的 Bruce Arthur, National Post Published: Thursday, February 05, 2009 Once a year Kobe Bryant comes to Toronto. This time, he was here on the same night that LeBron James -- Kobe's sole competition for the title of the league's signature player -- was playing Madison Square Garden with his Cleveland Cavaliers, trying to follow Kobe's 61-point performance there on Monday night. LeBron had already said he would not try to top that number, which seemed smart. Kobe一年一度的又来到了多伦多。同一个晚上，LeBron James(唯一能与Kobe争夺联盟头 号球员称号的人)也带着他的骑士队来到了麦迪逊花园球场，准备挑战Kobe星期一晚上在 同一个地方创造的61分神蹟。但LeBron本人表示他不会尝试去挑战这个数字，听起来似乎 很聪明。 (Of course, half an hour after Kobe scored 14 firstquarter points in Toronto, LeBron scored 20 points firstquarter points in New York.) (当然，当Kobe在多伦多第一节里就拿下14分的半小时後，LeBron在纽约的第一节也拿下 了20分) It's not a direct competition, but there is a duel between the league's current and future MVP, a proxy war carried out across North America. (Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul are part of the elite quartet, but are relatively overlooked.)Their teams could plausibly meet in the NBA Finals. While James is in full bloom at 24, Kobe remains great at 30. Some players believe that despite LeBron's earth-shaking impact, he is still second best. For now. 这不是直接的竞争，但在联盟现任以及未来的MVP身上势必要有一番较劲，而一场"代理战 争"也在美国展开(Wade和Chris Paul也是有力的竞争者，但相较之下他们较被忽略)。他 们的球队很可能会在总冠军赛上碰头。届时James将满24岁，而Kobe仍然是状态绝佳的30 岁。许多球员相信仅管LeBron有着令人震撼的表现，但就现在而言，他仍然只能排第二。 "To me, Kobe's the better basketball player," says Toronto Raptor Joey Graham, who played LeBron in Cleveland on Tuesday night, where James scored 33, and guarded Kobe last night. "We kind of almost know what we're going to do against LeBron -- we're going to throw bodies at him, make him try to shoot jumpers. But Kobe, you can't leave him open. And if you throw bodies at him, he's going to get fouled. "对我而言，Kobe是更好的篮球员" 星期二晚上在克里夫兰防守LeBron，让他拿下33分， 然後前晚负责防守Kobe的暴龙队球员Graham说 "我们几乎知道知道应该怎麽去对抗LeBron ，我们不断的把身体靠过去，好让他选择用跳投进攻。但面对Kobe时，你不能放他空档。 但如果你的身体太靠近他，你会被做一个老梗犯规" "Kobe has the whole package. He has all the tools. All you can do is try to do your best against him." "Kobe全身上下都是武器。他有全部的技巧。你所能作的就是尽全力去对抗他" The trick is that the Los Angeles Lakers star always tries his best, too, which tends to trump most everybody else. Raptors coach Jay Triano got to see Kobe close up last summer while working for USA Basketball, and came away stunned. 但很遗憾的是这位洛杉矶湖人的球星也都是尽全力来对抗任何人，让每个防守他的人都被 比了下去。暴龙的教练Jay Triano在去年夏天的奥运有了就近观察Kobe的机会并被他的表 现所震惊。 "I thought in working with Steve Nash that I'd seen one of the hardest workers in the game as far as the number of repetition of shots," says Triano. "And then when I saw Kobe in the summertime... " "我认为在与Steve Nash合作的时候，看到了尽可能不断投篮命中的最刁钻的球员之一" Triano说 "然後，我在暑假看到了Kobe..." There has been plenty of fair criticism of Kobe -- the selfishness, the wars with once-teammate Shaquille O'Neal, the narcissism, the wars with coach Phil Jackson, the ego, and various other synonyms -- but nobody ever said he didn't try. It was that in his quest to become the greatest player of his time, or of all time, he made it all about him. 有许多对於Kobe的挑剔-诸如自私，与前队友Shaquille O'Neal不合(不是行销吗XD)，自 我中心，与斐尔杰克逊教练员不合，自尊心，以及其他各式各样类似的指控，但是，从来 没有人说过"他不去尝试"。这也驱使他成为他的世代中最顶级的球员，或者可以说，有史 以来最顶级的球员，因为他是Kobe，所以他做到了。 Jackson has spoken and written extensively of the battles with Kobe, and of trying to get superstars to reconcile the team and the self. Nowadays, he says, Kobe has largely figured it out. Jackson曾对与Kobe不合的事情有延伸的发言和文章，他试着让球星们在球队以及私下都 能和解。他说现在Kobe已经更能明白这些事了。 "You know, as long as his focus is how to do this on a particular night," says Jackson. "Sometimes a personal matchup could get him distracted before; an agenda that he might have could affect him in a ball game. The night that he got 81 against Toronto it was one of those nights ... [Toronto was ahead, and] that was a need basis. He can do things like that on a need basis. "你知道吗?只要他把注意力放在如何打一场特别的比赛" Jackson说 "有时候一种个人的 对战在赛前就会影响着他，然後让他打出一场又一场惊奇的比赛。在多伦多的那场81分的 比赛就是这种情形….，这是他的需求所驱使的。他可以照他的需求做到他想做的事" "I think for the most part he knows how the game's going, and figures it out." "我想最主要的原因是他能解读比赛会如何进行，并理解他" Last night was a need game -- Toronto was playing loose and easy, while L. A. looked like a team dreaming of its championship rematch in Boston tonight. So Kobe, out of necessity, hit the game's biggest basket. He was pretty good. 上一场是个Kobe想拿下的一场比赛-当湖人继续梦想着追寻总冠军并在今晚要再次对抗波 士顿，他要让多伦多输掉这场球。所以出自於Kobe的需要，他投进了比赛中最重要的一个 投篮。他真的棒呆了。 All told last night, Kobe delivered 36 points, nine rebounds and five assists in Toronto, while LeBron was showing off for 52 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a 107-102 win over the Knicks. Both teams are now 39-9. 谈谈昨晚，Kobe在多伦多拿下了36分9篮板和5助攻的同时，LeBorn更是炫耀出52分10篮板 11助攻表现，并以带领球队以107比102击败尼克。两队的战绩都是39胜9败了。(今天是40 胜了!!) In Beijing this summer, on one of the two most talented American teams in history, it was Kobe who broke open the deathly tight gold medal game against Spain, spearheading a 10-0 run with LeBron, Wade, and Paul all on the floor. What did that show? 在今年夏天的北京奥运，有史以来最有天份的第二支美国队在金牌赛中面对到西班牙，在 比赛来到最关键的时刻，是由Kobe打破僵局带出了一波10比0的小高潮并赢得了比赛，同 一时间在球场上的还有LeBron, Wade和Paul。这说明了什麽? "Maturity," says Lakers forward Pau Gasol, the team's only other all-star. "Wisdom. You know, he's been around a lot longer than the other guys have." "成熟" 湖人的前锋，也是该球队另一位全明星Pau Gasol说 "智慧。你知道吗?他比那些 家伙在这里混得更久" That also means that he is running out of time to win more championships. Kobe has three rings, but he and LeBron have won the same number of titles -- and lost the same number of NBA Finals -- without Shaquille O'Neal. LeBron just surpassed Kobe as the youngest player to score 12,000 points, by well over a year (of which Kobe says, "I don't give a rat's ass"). LeBron seems like a lock for MVP. Some say LeBron has become the league's best player. 这也表示他将会用尽所有时间去争取更多的总冠军。Kobe有三个戒指，但在没有 Shquille O'neal的情况下，他跟LeBron赢过一样多次的总冠军，也输过同样多次的总冠 军。LeBron才刚打破Kobe的最年轻12000分的球员的纪录，而且快了一年(但Kobe不在意这 个纪录)。LeBron看起来很可能会拿到MVP。许多人也说LeBron已经是联盟最好的球员了。 "No," says Graham flatly. "Not trying to take anything from LeBron, but we were talking about this the other day: [Kobe's] got the same blood Michael Jordan's got. He's breathing the same oxygen. I mean, one day, LeBron, maybe. But right now, he's not on the same level." "错了，" Graham冷冷的说 "不是想占LeBron的便宜，但我们改天再来谈这件事 ，要知道Kobe身上流着跟Michael Jordan同样的血液。他们呼吸的是一样的空气。我的意 思是，或许有一天吧，LeBron做得到。但现在，他还没到这个水平"(关键字终於出现了， 不要转比较好) "Kobe can [score 61] pretty much any night he feels like it," agrees Gasol. "But that's not our goal. That's not his goal. Our goal is to win a championship, and ultimately it's a team game, and you have to get your teammates involved. And that's how you're going to beat better teams, great teams. Obviously, Kobe can put up big numbers any time he wants to." "Kobe可以在任何比赛拿下很多分数，只要他想" Gasol同意的说 "但那不是我们的目标。 那也不是他的目标。我们的目标是总冠军，而且这是团队比赛，你必须要让队友融入。这 也是你要打倒其他好球队，伟大的球队的方法。显然地，Kobe在任何时候都可以在计分板 上放上伟大的数字" Indeed, for all the talk over deference and fitting in, Bryant is still scoring at the third-highest rate per minute of his 13-year career, behind only 2005-06 and 2006-07. With centre Andrew Bynum hurt again, the Lakers will have to be a team to return to the Finals, rather than a one-man band. When you ask Kobe about it, he says it is all about the team. It wasn't always thus. 呼应这些尊敬Kobe的言论，他今年仍然拿下了生涯13年内，平均每分钟得分的第三高，只 比05-06，06-07年少。当中锋Andrew Bynum再次受伤，湖人更应该做好团队合作以拿下总 冠军，而不是一人表演。当你问Kobe这件事时，他会说这都是关於球队。如此而已。 "We're better," Kobe says. "There have been plenty of team that lost in the Finals that came back the next season with the same team and won." "我们更强了" Kobe说 "有许多输掉总冠军的球队，在隔年又在总冠军赛碰到同样的对手 ，并击败他们拿下总冠军" A few minutes after Kobe had left the morning shoot-around, someone mentioned to Jackson that his star pupil has come a long way. Jackson smiled. 在Kobe结束了晨间的投篮练习并离开後，有人跟Jackson说他的明星球员真的有了明显的 进步了。Jackson露出了阳光般闪耀的笑容。 "Yes," he said. "He has." "是的" 他说 "他进步了" -- 谢谢指正~ --
