[外電] 最後一擊Kobe勝過Jordan 禪師﹕我同意
Kobe Bryant, making the best of bad situations

After Dwyane Wade had said hello to Kobe Bryant’s wife outside the Lakers
locker room, then pinched Bryant’s daughter’s cheek, he turned to Bryant
himself and simply stared, with a look of both anger and amazement.
Bryant held out his arms and shrugged. Yes, kind of like this.
“Hey man,” Bryant started, almost apologetically. “Hey. What’d you want
me to do?”
He could have done what the laws of physics practically ordered him to do, to
follow the principles of momentum and projectile motion and miss the shot. He
could have allowed the Heat to leave Staples Center with a victory, a reward
for their effort on the second night of a back-to-back set, let them be one
of 11 teams in the NBA with a winning record on the road.
Except Kobe Bryant isn’t that gracious, is he? His blood temperature drops
off the bottom of the thermometer in moments like that. He’s not known for
missing those shots. He’s known for making them. That’s why he’s the best
option for a last-second shot in the history of the NBA.
This one on Friday night exemplified it. Normally a Kobe Bryant buzzer beater
would be ho-hum. Haven’t we seen that before? Don’t we expect it to happen?
The talk of the NBA should’ve the Nets actually winning a game. Now that’s
a rare event.
Except this shot -- this off-one-leg, swaying-to-the-left, three-point bank
shot at the buzzer to beat Miami -- was so ridiculous that it had his NBA
peers firing off astounded tweets (“@rudygay22 Are you kidding me Kobe!”)
and even Bryant had a hard time believing it. He called it “the luckiest
shot I’ve made by far.”
“I released the ball, I was kind of like, ‘No effing way. No way this ball’
s going in,’” Bryant said. “It felt good, I just didn’t think I was going
to make that shot. I’d like my chances if I had squared up and got the shot I
’d wanted to.”
With the version he wound up taking the percentages were supposed to favor
the Heat.
“If you told me before the game that the game would be decided by Kobe
shooting a left, one-legged, backboard three, I’d have took that,” Wade
said.
The scenario: Lakers down by two with 3.2 seconds left. Ron Artest inbounded
from the right sideline. He ignored Derek Fisher, who was open at halfcourt.
He patiently waited for Bryant to break loose from a double-team by Wade and
Udonis Haslem and come toward the ball.
“They were trying to deny him, and I knew it was impossible,” Artest said.
“This is the Black Mamba, you know what I mean?”
Artest gave it to him, then went to a spot vacated by Haslem, who was busy
supporting Wade like a linebacker. Bryant dribbled to his left, and when he
was directly lined up with the basket he launched a shot over Wade’s
outstretched arms. He went for the backboard to give himself more margin for
error. Bryant’s body was arched to the left like a first parenthesis. His
momentum carried him over near Jack Nicholson after he released the ball.
Everything about the shot screamed “wide left.”
“When it left his hand, it didn’t look like it was gonna be a shot that
could go in,” said Fisher, who was just a few feet from Bryant when he took
it. “But as it got closer to the basket, I was looking and was like, ‘Man it
’s straight.’ I was excited. I had to really remind myself that this is a
mid-season game in December. I was running around, I jumped on Kobe’s back
like it was the Finals.”
No, this didn’t even clinch a division championship, as Bryant did when he
hit this pair of incredible shots in Portland at the end of the 2003-04
season. It simply added to the lore, defied statistical studies that suggest
LeBron James, Vince Carter or Ray Allen would be a better option there, made
you wonder how he does it.
The answer, apparently, is BMX bikes. Bryant said the skill set he employed
Friday night came from his childhood days when he and his friends would try
to hit telephone poles with rocks as they rode by.
“You’ve kind of got to throw back a little bit, you know what I mean?”
Bryant said. “That’s exactly what I had to do, because I was falling left.
If I shot the ball straight, it would have been way off.”
The story sounded a little too cute to be true, but might as well roll with
it.
Fisher likened Bryant’s bad-shot making to the ability of David Ortiz or
Vladimir Guerrero to hit bad pitches. As Wade, (who, as Bryant noted, has “
hit some pretty crazy shots himself”) said, “If you want anybody to hit a
shot like that you’d rather it be Kobe than anybody else, because that’s
what he’s done in the past. Somebody else would’ve hit that shot, this
locker room wouldn’t look this way.”
The most telling statement was made just outside the Laker locker room, where
Phil Jackson stood outside waiting for an electric cart to drive him down the
tunnel and to his car. I told him Kobe’s shot showed why I’d take Bryant
over anyone in the final seconds, even the guy who used to wear No. 23. That
caused Jackson to raise his eyebrows. Now maybe with six seconds left, enough
time to create a good look, I’d go with Jordan. But with only enough time to
take a dribble or two, or to catch and fire, I’d go with the best bad
shot-maker ever. Because even when it’s a bad shot, Kobe gives you a good
shot at winning.
Jackson processed it all, then said two words that resonated as much as Bryant
’s three-pointer: “I agree.”

絕殺手感源自兒時遊戲 禪師:最後1秒科比勝喬丹
2009-12-05 22:15:57 來源: 網易體育
湖人與熱火的比賽結束後,Dwyane Wade在走道上遇見了等在湖人更衣室門外的Kobe的妻
子,他禮貌性的與她打了招呼,並輕輕捏了捏Kobe女兒的臉頰。之後Kobe從更衣室裡出來
了,Wade盯著眼前的Kobe的臉,沒有說話,他的眼神很複雜,不知是憤怒,還是驚訝。
Kobe攤開雙手,聳聳肩,語言中甚至有些抱歉:「嘿,兄弟,我也沒辦法。你讓我怎麼做
?」
如果他這一球是現實的,按動力原理,或是看他出手的扭曲,都應該可以判斷出這球絕對
不會進,熱火本應該從Staples Center帶走一場背靠背比賽的勝利,成為聯盟第11支客場
勝利超過5成的球隊,而湖人的7連勝本應該在今天被終結。
但這球進了。是Kobe太過吝嗇嗎?他在這樣的時刻總是冷血的令人驚訝。在比賽還剩一秒
結束,需要一個人來投進絕殺的情況下,他也許是NBA歷史上最適合這種絕殺的人。
正如今天的比賽,這樣的絕殺並不是我們平常見到的那種,這個絕殺是在Kobe單腿起跳,
失去平衡時投出的打板3分。賽後Rudy Gay在自己的twitter上第一時間更新了狀態——
Kobe,你在開玩笑嗎?!而Kobe自己也不敢相信這一球居然能進,他說,「這是他投過的
最為幸運的一球。」
「我出手之後就想,『完了,肯定進不了,』結果居然進了。」他說,「我從來沒想過這
球會進,我連姿勢都沒擺好。」
Wade則表示,「如果你在賽前告訴我,這場比賽會以Kobe那個單腿向左,打板而盡的高難
度三分絕殺告終,我可能會接受。」
事實上:當時在比賽還剩3.2秒結束的時候湖人落後2分,Artest在右邊線接發球,他忽略
了在弧頂無人看防的Fisher,而是耐心地等待Kobe擺脫了Wade與Haslem的包夾,然後把球
傳給了他。賽後他說:「他們想鎖死Kobe,但那是不可能的,因為他們的對手是黑曼巴。
」
Kobe接阿泰傳球,運球向左突破了Haslem的防守範圍,然後起跳,面對撲面而來的Wade出
手,他選擇打板——因為他認為自己投不進,還想搶下前場籃板——這讓他的身體成了一
個半邊括號的形狀,在落地之後直接摔倒了場邊的影帝傑克-尼克爾森的身邊。之後,球
進了。
「我看他出手以後,就感覺這球進不了,」Fisher說,「但當球越來越接近籃筐,我才覺
得『天哪,拋物線太直了,直接進去了』。我很興奮地跳到Kobe背上,那一瞬間我覺得我
好像是在打總決賽,而不是一場12月份的常規賽。」
這當然不是總決賽,這場比賽只會讓所有人再次意識到Kobe是多麼可怕的殺手,雖然數據
分析顯示,LeBron James,Vince Carter,Ray Allen的絕殺都比Kobe高效,但現在,我
們知道,Kobe依然是那麼可怕。
而Kobe表示,這個絕殺的靈感,來自於他小時候與朋友的遊戲。他們喜歡在騎自行車的時
候對著電線桿扔石頭,比誰扔的准。「這種球要依靠回力,不能直著投。我當時身體向左
偏,我只有歪著投才能保證這球能筆直的飛行。」
這話聽起來有些可愛,但卻是真理。Fisher認為,Kobe投著種「壞球」的水平非常高,
Wade也說:「如果有一個人投進這樣的球,那也只有Kobe能做到了。」
而最令人印象深刻的言論莫過於禪師了。當他站在更衣室門外等著專用車載他去停車場的
時候,ESPN的記者阿丹德與他聊了幾句話。阿丹德說,在比賽還剩一兩秒中結束時,他會
選擇Kobe來執行最後那「不可能絕殺」,而不是Jordan。
Jackson聽聞此言,有些驚奇地抬了抬眉毛。阿丹德解釋說,如果比賽還剩5,6秒,他一
定會選擇Jordan投最後一球,因為這些時間足夠Jordan製造投籃空間,因此命中的可能最
大。但如果在沒有時間,需要立刻出手的情況下,他會選擇Kobe。因為即使是看上去不可
能投進的「壞球」,Kobe也能奇跡般地把球弄進籃框。
Jackson聽完了解釋,說了2個單詞,譯成中文是三個字:「我同意。」
