Kobe Day: Youngest Dunk Contest Champion in History
Kobe Day: 史上最年輕的灌籃大賽冠軍
Four years after he dunked a basketball for the very first time, an
18-year-old Kobe Bryant soared his way to a trophy at All-Star Weekend.
The rookie threw down two impressive dunks in the first round and added a
near-perfect slam in the championship portion, earning the 1997 Slam Dunk
Contest title in front of a sold-out Cleveland crowd.
1997年 也就是Kobe第一次成功灌籃後的4年
18歲的Kobe在全明星周翱翔後摘下了灌籃大賽金盃
這位菜鳥首輪完成兩次不錯的灌籃
並在決賽中完成了一個接近完美的灌籃
靠著這次灌籃 他在滿場的克里夫蘭觀眾面前獲得了灌籃王
Despite scoring a then-record 31 points in the Rookie Challenge earlier that
day, Bryant proved that he had plenty of energy left.
For his first dunk, he started from the 3-point line, took two large strides
and threw down a one-handed reverse slam.
儘管他在新秀挑戰賽拿下了31分 Kobe證明自己還有充沛的活力
第一冠他從三分線啟動 拿起球跨了兩步後完成了一次單手反扣

Needing 35 points to advance, the teenager found himself in a spot of trouble
after missing his second attempt.
He kept cool, starting in the corner and sprinting the baseline before
slamming a backwards jackknife to advance with a 37-point score.
接下來 他需要35分才能晉級
但這時他發現他遇到了點麻煩 他連續兩次嘗試都無法完成灌籃
這時他保持冷靜 從底角開始加速 在空中拉竿完成了反扣

The first round eliminated Ray Allen, Bob Sura and Darvin Ham, leaving only
Michael Finley and Chris Carr in the way.
Bryant went first in the championship and immediately brought the crowd to
its feet.
In an iconic moment for a future legend, he put the ball between his legs
mid-air and then rocked the rim one-handed.
The judges — Julius Erving, Walt Frazier, George Gervin, Bob Lanier and Lisa
Leslie — gave him a 49 out of 50, and Dr. J himself jumped out of his seat
when Bryant flew.
第一輪中淘汰了Ray Allen, Bob Sura 跟 Darvin Ham
此時Kobe將與Michael Finley and Chris Carr爭奪1997年灌籃王
Kobe在決賽中第一個上場 並馬上讓觀眾沸騰
完成了這個將來被重播無數次的灌籃
Kobe在空中將球穿越他的雙腿 並用單手完成了暴扣

裁判們 包括 Dr.J, Walt Frazier, George Gervin, Bob Lanier 與 Lisa Leslie
給出了49分的高分 Kobe起飛的同時 Dr.J甚至從他的座位上跳起來
The 18 year old flexed and swaggered his way off the court, knowing that his
score was near-unbeatable and that he was moments away from becoming the NBA’
s youngest dunk champion ever.
“I know I don’t have much,” he told reporters, “but I decided to flex
what I have.”
By the end of the night, he also had a Slam Dunk Contest trophy — the first
of many awards in a legendary career.
這位18歲的少年 輕鬆並驕傲的走回休息區
他知道這分數基本上無法超越 他即將成為最年輕的灌籃大賽冠軍得主
Kobe賽後告訴記者
"我知道我還有許多不足 但是我盡可能的給出我能給的最好表現"
當晚 他收下了灌籃大賽的獎杯 也是他在NBA獲得的第一座榮耀
接下來他將開啟他傳奇的籃球生涯
