How long can Kobe Bryant stay on top?
April 14, 2011, 2:32 PM ET
By J.A. Adande, ESPNLosAngeles.com
The time has come for people to think less about what Kobe Bryant has
accomplished in the past and more about how those who come after him will
measure up in the future. His challengers are scaling the wall of Kobe's
castle. The question for these playoffs is how long until the perimeter is
breached and his reign atop the NBA ends. Time is running out on his present.
現在不是我們去考慮Kobe過去取得的成就，以及在他身後追趕的後輩球員如何才能在
不久的將來達到Kobe般水平的時候。後面的挑戰者已經登上Kobe城堡的城牆了。
這些季後賽的問題在於，還有多久Kobe和他統治NBA時期才能被終止。現在我們能看到
Kobe上場打球的時間已在日漸縮減了。
We've become so used to viewing Bryant in comparison to what's come before.
That's happened more than ever this season, as he's moved past the likes of
Oscar Robertson, Dominique Wilkins and Moses Malone, all the way up to sixth
place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. The real target was established the
moment Bryant stood on the scorer's table in Staples Center last June and
thrust the five fingers of his right hand into the air, signifying his five
championships: Michael Jordan's six.
過去常看到Kobe被拿來和一些NBA前輩們比較，本賽季這種情形更是常發生。
Kobe的生涯總得分一路追過Oscar Robertson、Dominique Wilkins、Moses Malone等人，
名列史上第六位。去年六月，當Kobe站上Staples Center的記分台，伸出5隻手指代表
他5個總冠軍的那一刻，確立了他的下一個目標：Michael Jordan的6座總冠軍。
Even if Kobe reaches that plateau I doubt he'll be granted equal footing with
Jordan. We don't like to alter portraits once they're hanging on the wall. I
inquired to a Hall of Fame player, "If Kobe gets to six ..." and he didn't
even let me finish the question.
即使Kobe能拿到6個總冠軍，我也懷疑他的地位能否與Jordan相提並論。
畢竟人們不喜歡自己心目中的神話被別人挑戰。我曾經詢問過一位名人堂成員這問題
「如果Kobe拿到6個......」
"Stop," he said. "Just stop."
『停！給我閉嘴！』
If he can't do anything about what's already happened he can at least have a
say in what happens next. With Kobe it's always been about the past, always
the precedent set. We never pause to consider Bryant's place in the future,
the standards he's setting that others will have to reach. We're almost to a
generation of players who were raised on Kobe and not Michael. They won't
have memories of watching Jordan. Their attempts to view him in the past will
be obscured by Kobe. Kobe will be their reference point.
如果Kobe無法改變已發生的事實，至少他對未來的事情還是有發言權。圍繞在Kobe身旁
的言論都是關於過去發生的種種以及先例，我們從來沒有去考慮Kobe未來的地位、他所
立下的其他球員必須達到的標準。我們這一代球員幾乎都是看Kobe打球長大而非Jordan。
他們記憶裡沒有Jordan打球的場景，Jordan的光芒將被Kobe所覆蓋，Kobe將成為他們的
參考點。
He can still click and drag his ring total to a difficult-to-attain place.
Someone's always going to come along and score more. Kevin Durant has already
scored almost twice as many points as Bryant had after four seasons. Kobe's
already one behind LeBron James in the most valuable player category and is
about to be tied by Derrick Rose. Just recognize this when it comes to Kobe
and the MVP: He didn't want to win it this season. As tough as he can be to
read (not even coaches or teammates know for sure what mode he'll be in at
the start of a game) once he steps on the court he makes his intentions
clear. During the All-Star game it was obvious Bryant had his sights set on
being the MVP that afternoon. And he was.
Kobe仍然可以將自己的總冠軍數量往上提升到別人很難觸摸的高度。有些球員一直在背後
追趕Kobe並砍下更高的分數。Kevin Durant前4個賽季的得分約是Kobe前4個賽季的2倍。
關於MVP次數，Kobe則落後了LeBron James甚至將可能和Derrick Rose持平。
然而對於Kobe和MVP的問題，你必須要明白，他這個賽季本就沒打算去拿MVP。一旦Kobe
站上了球場，他的目標就會清晰起來，變得很難讓人去了解他(甚至教練或隊友都不曉得
今天的Kobe會開啟何種比賽模式)。今年明星賽，Kobe很顯然就是衝著MVP去的，最後他
也拿到了。
When Kobe came out taking fewer than 20 shots a game this season, his lowest
since 2003-04, he signaled that his regular-season numbers would be secondary
to his playoff goals. He can live without a bookend Podoloff trophy. He'll go
nuts if he doesn't get more rings.
當Kobe本季的場均出手數不到20次，是自03-04年來的新低時，這給了大家一個訊息：
為了季後賽目標，Kobe的例行賽數據可以擺第二；就算沒有例行賽MVP他也能正常生活，
但拿不到冠軍戒，他會瘋掉。
While Kobe is running out of time -- and it's imperative that he gets his
winning in now before LeBron, Durant and/or Rose figure things out and grab
control of the league for the next few years -- he can also put everyone else
on the clock. LeBron's already 26 years old. If Kobe gets to six, then how
many "prime" years would LeBron have left to match him? Eight? You can see
the pressure Bryant could put on all the aspirants just from a logistical
standpoint. And he never lets up, never stops trying to top himself, always
seems capable of some new dramatic feat. Even in times when he is a topic of
coast-to-coast discussion for something he says, as was the case with his use
of a slur against referee Bennie Adams Tuesday, he has a way of driving the
discussion back to his game, as was the case when he hit a last-second
three-pointer to send the Lakers and Kings to overtime on Wednesday.
Kobe的時間也所剩不多了，接下來幾年內，他必須在L.James、K.Durant、D.Rose完全
成長並統治聯盟前取得勝利。當然他也可以繼續保持下去。LeBron已經26歲了，如果
Kobe真的拿下6個冠軍，那LeBron還剩下幾年可以去追趕Kobe？8年？
你可以去想像Kobe給所有的冠軍追求者立下了多大的障礙，但Kobe並不曾因此停下腳步，
不曾停止嘗試超越自我。他總是有辦法去完成一些新的壯舉。儘管星期二時，Kobe對裁判
出言不遜，引起大家熱烈討論，但他就是有辦法讓大家將焦點移到他身上。周三對國王，
Kobe的最後關鍵三分球將湖人和國王帶進了延長賽。
There's one more subplot in play for Bryant this postseason. Kobe has never
lost to a team led by a star player who is younger than him. His playoff
victors have been the likes of John Stockton and Karl Malone, David Robinson
and Tim Duncan, Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace, Steve Nash and Kevin
Garnett and Paul Pierce.
另外還有一個本次季後賽的看點，Kobe從未在季後賽輸給比自己年紀小的球星所領軍的
球隊。Kobe季後賽所碰到的對手都是像John Stockton & Karl Malone、David Robinson
& Tim Duncan、Chauncey Billups & Rasheed Wallace、Steve Nash、Kevin Garnett、
& Paul Pierce這類球星。
Duncan and Garnett are still around, but like Kobe their time is growing
shorter. Durant has a shot this season. LeBron's out there. Rose might be
ready. They'll get their turn at going at Kobe. The question is how high will
he have climbed by the time they start their pursuit?
Duncan和KG仍在聯盟活躍中，但他們也像Kobe一樣，打球時間越來越少了。
本季Durant強勢演出，LeBron聲勢依然浩大，Rose也已準備就緒。
他們都將接過Kobe的火炬，繼續閃耀聯盟，問題在於：
『當他們開始追趕的時候，Kobe究竟爬到了多高的位置？』
