Kobe: You have no idea how much you inspired me hello!We’d love to take this time to thank you of all your support you gave me in my twenty year career. You guys have no idea how much you inspired me, pushed me to work harder and harder and harder every single day. And this time I want to say thank you. 你好!非常高兴能借此机会感谢所有在我职业生涯二十年里,给予我支持的科密们。你们在这二十年的每一天里,都不断激励着我要努力努力再努力,再次我想对你们说一声谢谢! Beijing time on April 14, the last day of the NBA regular season, and it is also Kobe Bryant’s last game. Finally, Lakers took on the Utah Jazz with the game ending 101-96. Kobe made 22 of 50, 60 points. On this day, Kobe announced his retirement. 北京时间4月14日,NBA常规赛最后一天,也是科比最后一战,湖人以101-96击败了爵士。在这场比赛中,科比50投22中,拿下60分。也就是在这一天,科比宣布退役。 At the Staples Center, Los Angeles, a capacity crowd of more than 18,000 turned out to see him play his final game, including stars Kanye West and Jay Z. 在斯台普斯中心洛杉矶,超过18000人见证了科比的最后一场奋战,包括明星坎耶韦斯特和Jay-Z。 At 37 years old and coming off of multiple injuries, Bryant acknowledged that recovering from a previous night's game is an all-day process for him. There's stretching and ice and massages and muscle stimulation and in-depth treatments where necessary. But, Bryant said, "If I wanted to keep playing, I could figure it out.” 今年37岁的布莱恩伤病不断。他坦白,之前一场比赛中的伤病要用一整天的时间才能恢复。某些受伤部位需要拉伸、冰敷、按摩、肌肉刺激甚至深部处理。但布莱恩也说,“如果我想继续打球,我会想明白的。” 我想从今以后,我们会像加索尔一样:we will miss him a lot. We will miss his presence and his attitude.
如果你和他一起打球,你每天都能看到为什么伟大的球员能变得伟大。那不是巧合。这是对达到那种水准以及维持那种水准的痴迷。那种决心、承诺是非常特别的。你无法找到。他能激发你变得更好,并对比赛有更深入的了解。 2009年总决赛,我们击败了魔术,每个人都很开心。但是他不同。那具有特殊的意义。篮球是他的生命,赢球是他的热爱。我并没有忽视他的家庭,那对他意味着一切,但是篮球占据着非常深的位置。 If you play with him, you’re looking every day at living proof of why the greats are the greats. It’s not by accident. It’s an obsession to reach that level and remain at that level. The dedication, the commitment, is such a unique thing. You don’t find it. He inspired me to be better, to see the game in a more detailed way. We beat the Magic in the 2009 Finals, and everybody was happy, but it was different for him. It had a special meaning. Basketball was his life, and winning was his devotion. I’m not taking anything away from his family, which means the world to him, but basketball had so much depth to it.
