Kobe Bryant lauds Lakers' aggressive approach in free agency
Kobe對湖人的積極作為感到滿意
On Melo:"I just shared with him the experiences that I had playing here in
Los Angeles, how I feel like it could be very beneficial to him and his family
and his legacy going forward," Bryant said. "I mean, this is a legacy-defining
moment. This is the decision."
Kobe：我跟Melo分享了我在湖人打球的感覺，為什麼我覺得對他及他的家人還有他的歷史
定位是很有幫助的。現在就是決定自己歷史定位的時刻。
Bryant said he didn’t have any inside information on Anthony’s choice a few
hours after a New York Daily News report stated that the small forward would
re-sign with the Knicks on Thursday.
Kobe說他沒有任何Melo的內線消息。
“Everybody’s here to read tea leaves,” Bryant said. “I don’t really know
much to tell you. I don’t have any new information, information you guys
probably don’t know. You guys will probably know before I do.”
Kobe：大家都想要知道內線，但我真的沒有新消息了，大家應該都會比我先知道吧。
Bryant acknowledged he had “really clicked” with Anthony since they were
teammates at the 2008 Olympics and described Anthony as “very receptive” to
his pitch but scoffed at a report that they had played in a pickup game last
weekend at UCLA. Bryant said he was in Orange County at the time.
Kobe說他跟Melo在2008奧運相會時就一拍即合，而且Melo對他的招募非常有興趣。但Kobe
對於那篇他跟Melo一起在UCLA練球的報導感到非常可笑，因為他那時候在Orange County。
“It seems like if I want to get an accurate sports source now,” Bryant
quipped, “I have to go to TMZ.”
Kobe：看來如果我想要得到最正確的資訊我得去TMZ了。
Does Bryant have a Plan B if the Lakers’ top targets go elsewhere?
有Plan B嗎？
“We have several options,” he said. “Obviously, depending on the timing of
this process, it affects some of those. You have a plan that’s flexible, a
Plan A and a Plan B, but some of the Plan B is affected by the timing of Plan
A. … You wind up seeing these things happen where we’re kind of behind a
little bit, but it’s worth the wait.”
Kobe：我們有一些選擇，主要是看目前的計畫進行到哪一個階段。Plan B會被Plan A的
進度影響，但是值得等待的。
The Lakers are still without a coach, but Bryant gave Byron Scott a thumbs-up
for the job, calling his former teammate his “rookie mentor” who made
Bryant fetch donuts and run other errands as a young player.
湖人還沒有決定總教練，但Kobe對Scott非常滿意，他視Scott為新秀時期的導師，因為
Scott在Kobe的新秀年幫助了他很多。
“We’ve had a tremendously close relationship throughout the years,” Bryant
said. “So obviously I know him extremely well, he knows me extremely well
and I’ve always been a fan of his.”
Kobe：我們的關係非常好，所以我們兩個非常了解對方，我一直都是他的粉絲。
One issue Bryant apparently has put behind him is the injuries that have
limited him to six games over the last 15 months. He said he weighed 218
pounds, which is normal for late in a season when he had leaned down.
談到Kobe的健康狀況，Kobe說他現在體重是218 pounds，跟他膝蓋受傷時的體重差不多。
“Physically, I feel great,” Bryant said. “I mean, I don’t think about the
knee at all when I train. I don’t think about the Achilles’ at all when I
train. I feel sharp, crisp. Now it’s just time to add on from there.”
Kobe：我感覺我的身體非常好，我在訓練時完全沒有受到膝蓋及Achilles的影響，是時候
進一步訓練了。
