Kobe Bryant and the Lakers may not have the legs left to stand tall By Mark Heisler 完整原文:http://tinyurl.com/2dt6re5 (有誤譯還請指正) (一字一句翻，轉發節錄請告知!) With Bryant's right knee, not to mention his broken finger, still bothering him, the Lakers look as if they're ready to be taken out by the Thunder. 右膝、受傷的手指仍然困擾著Kobe，然而湖人看來準備好要被上演老八傳奇。 Lakers: Toast. 湖人口味的烤土司。 Even tied, 2-2, with home-court advantage intact, they're browned on both sides with their crust trimmed off, spread with butter and jelly and just waiting to be devoured by the Thunder or whoever they play next, unless Kobe Bryant turns back into Kobe Bryant. 儘管2-2平手，回到家還有主場優勢，湖人頑強抵抗也沒用了，已經被烤得兩面都發出焦香味，只要在上面塗抹奶油和果醬，就可以等著被雷霆，或隨便是誰吃乾抹淨，除非Kobe Bryant變回為以前的Kobe Bryant。 The Kobe we knew always went down firing. 一直在發光發熱的Kobe。 The Kobe in Oklahoma City over the weekend looked like someone protecting an injury or injuries, coming off Game 3 when Kevin Durant shut him down at the end, and Game 4, the most ineffectual performance of his career. 這周末在Oklahoma City,，Kobe小心翼翼保護自己傷勢，試著擺脫第三戰Kevin Durant讓他停機的陰霾，而這第四戰卻變成他職業生涯中，最徒勞無功的一場比賽。 It's either that, a massive tactical blunder --the house explanation from Bryant and Coach Phil Jackson-- or Kobe's had a spiritual awakening like Pedro Cerrano in "Major League II," now embraces all living things and is no longer into competition. 是一團亂的戰術(這是Bryant和禪師Phil Jackson的官方說法)，還是Kobe歷經了心靈的轉變，決心要擁抱世界，變得不愛跟對手競爭。 I'm going with the injury/injuries. 我選擇跟傷勢共生。 The Kobe we knew impacted his games, one way or the other. 不管怎樣都會找到出路，並且衝撞比賽的Kobe。 There was no missing him, even at 19, starting his first All-Star game alongside guys he grew up watching, facing Michael Jordan, his idol. 我們沒有誤解他，他在19歲生平第一次的明星賽的時候，就敢正面應付他從小的偶像: Michael Jordan，。 That was the game Kobe took nine shots in his first 11 touches, or as Lakers publicist Ray Ridder noted, "two less than he took in the rookie game." 那場比賽Kobe前11個持球權出手9次，或是像湖人公關Ray Ridder的註解:"新秀挑戰賽他11次都會出手。" In Saturday's Game 4, Bryant took 10 shots and two free throws. 而星期天的第四戰，Bryant只有10次的中距離出手，加上兩個罰球。 After shooting no free throws in Game 3, Bryant only got his two in Game 4 because Thabo Sefolosha fouled him on a 15-foot jumper. 第三戰沒有任何的罰球機會，第四戰只有在Thabo Sefolosha對KOBE犯規時 (一個距籃框15呎處長的跳投)，得到2次罰球的機會 Kobe didn't take the ball to the basket right-handed all game, suggesting a) he was protecting his shooting hand with the broken finger, b) he can't get to the basket on his sore right knee, or c) both. Kobe整場沒有從籃框右方切入，也就是說: A)他要保護用來投籃的手 B)他無法用受傷的右膝切入籃下 C)以上皆是 This raises a really painful question in Lakerdom: 這是對所有關心湖人的人來說，一個加重痛苦的問題 WHAT IN THE !@#$%^&^%$#@! WAS HE DOING PLAYING HURT ALL SEASON? 什麼X! @#$%^&^%$#@! 他有哪季沒受傷過? Jackson's primary goal, apart from making the playoffs, is to conserve his team for the postseason. 除了確保能進季後賽之外，Jackson最重要的目標，就是讓他的球隊在季後賽保持健康。 Oops. 哎呀. Unfortunately for the Lakers, Jackson and the medical staff can advise but only Bryant decides when Kobe Bryant sits out. 不幸的是，Jackson跟湖人醫療團隊只能在Kobe休假的時候給他意見。 Jackson had the same problem with Michael Jordan as the Chicago Bulls won a record 72 games in 1995-96, came back the next season with Phil announcing they wouldn't go all-out like that again, and won 69. Jackson在1995-96賽季對Michael Jordan也有同樣的窘境，當年公牛贏了72常規賽的 NBA最佳的記錄，而1996-97賽季Phil說他們無法再重頭複製這個紀錄，那年贏了69場。 Jordan, who turned 34 in 1997, played all 164 games, rejecting invitation after invitation to sit out. Jordan1997年34歲，連續打了164場，拒絕所有叫他休息的請求。 Bryant, 31, played 82 games the last two seasons and had his heart set on doing it again when he suffered the avulsion fracture of the first finger of his shooting hand Dec. 11. 而Bryant31歲，連續兩個賽季打滿82場仍然橫了心要再打滿一年，即使在12月11號，投籃的右手食指撕裂性骨折。 With the Lakers 18-3, three games ahead of the West, Bryant could have sat out, or even opted for surgery that was projected to get him back by the All-Star break. 季初湖人18勝3負，穩坐西區冠軍，Bryant原本可以休息，甚至選擇球隊為他計畫好的手術，明星賽時就可以復原。 Instead, he kept playing and kept getting his finger whacked on forays to the hoop, averaging 8.3 free throws in March and 9 in April before the playoffs. 相反地，他持續的打球，持續的過度使用手指去侵略籃框，三月仍有平均8.3個罰球，四月有9個。 The injury that was supposed to heal in four to six weeks hasn't healed yet. 這個傷勢一般4到6個星期就可以復原，拖到現在還沒有好。 Of course, in the back of everyone's mind was the assumption they could rest at season's end. 當然，每個人的心裡都會假設他們可以在賽季結束之後休息。 At the end, however, with Andrew Bynum out, things unraveling and the Lakers trying to dial up their urgency, it fell to Bryant to play bad cop to Jackson's still-whimsical cop, or as Kobe put it "keep my foot on their throat." 然而最後Andrew Bynum帶傷無法上場，十萬火急的湖人只好讓Kobe當黑臉， Jackson當性情古怪的白臉，或是Kobe會把鞋印別人臉上。 Bryant averaged 40 minutes in February and 39 in March before a new problem, soreness in his right knee, forced him out April 8. Bryant二月仍有40分鐘的上場時間，三月39分鐘，在膝蓋新傷出現之後，他才不得不在4月8號休息。 He has looked like Kobe Bryant once since, in Game 2 of this series. 首輪的第二戰，Kobe一度回到昔日的身手。 He was fine in Game 3 until the fourth quarter when the 6-foot-9 Durant, who had never guarded him before, locked him down. 而第三戰表現良好，直到第四節6呎9的 Durant，突然上前防守把他鎖住。 No one that tall should be able to guard Bryant. When Kobe got over his surprise, he should have drawn Durant out -- "put him on an island," as players say -- and driven past him. 這種身高不應該守住KOBE。開心收下這份大禮之後，Kobe應該把Durant引誘出來 (就像球員常說的那樣: "讓他孤立無援")，然後輾過他。 Instead, when Bryant attacked off the dribble, he pulled up for jumpers and Durant caught up with him. 相反地，Bryant運完球，就拔起來瘋狂投籃，而Durant卻跟得上他。 One way or another, the Lakers aren't going far unless everything falls in line, tactically, medically and/or spiritually. 不管怎樣都會找到出路，湖人走不了多遠，除非所有事情，無論戰術上、健康上、還有精神上都到位，才能水到渠成。 (是怎樣才首輪而已就要這麼悲情? 比賽還沒完呢!走著瞧!) 完整原文:http://tinyurl.com/2dt6re5 (有誤譯還請指正) (一字一句翻，轉發節錄請告知!) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.85.220.160
