Kobe Bryant: Remembering the final game of 'The Black Mamba'
(CNN)Gone but never forgotten. As tributes poured in remembering Kobe
Bryant's remarkable basketball career following his death in a helicopter
crash on Sunday in California, fans were left cherishing countless memories
as they mourned the NBA great's passing.
雖已逝 但將被永遠銘記
在Kobe因直升機墜毀事故喪生後 各界對他偉大生涯的致敬不斷
球迷們只能透過無數的珍貴回憶來哀悼巨星的殞落
Fans' final vision of Bryant in a purple and gold uniform four years ago was
like many before as the Los Angeles Lakers' legend scored a spectacular 60
points in his farewell NBA game.
四年前Kobe身穿紫金戰袍留給球迷的最後畫面 就如同過往一樣令人印象深刻
這位湖人傳奇在他的最後一戰
用令人讚嘆的表現拿下60分
Outside the arena before the game against the Utah Jazz on that day in April
13, 2016, fans had chanted, "Ko-be! Ko-be!"
One fan, who with his two buddies paid $4,200 for three $34 tickets, told CNN
they came from Oregon to watch the final game.
"He's the greatest of our generation," he said. "He's been a great
inspiration for all of us."
2016.4.13 湖人隊爵士戰前 球迷早已聚集在球館外高喊Kobe的名字
其中一位來自Oregon的球迷跟CNN記者說
他跟兩位同伴為了三個原價34鎂的座位 一共花了4200鎂 就是為了欣賞Kobe的最後一戰
他說 他是我們這個世代最偉大的 他鼓舞了我們所有人
Bryant had announced that season would be his last in a poignant letter
written in the form of a poem on The Players' Tribune.
"This season is all I have left to give," he wrote in "Dear Basketball." "My
heart can take the pounding. My mind can handle the grind. But my body knows
it's time to say goodbye.
"And that's OK. I'm ready to let you go."
Kob曾e以一封用詩寫作的感人信件 宣布2015-16將是他的最後一個球季
在這封名為Dear Basketball的信中 他說到:
這個球季是我所能給的最後1個球季
我的心臟撐得住重創 我的理智禁得起折磨 但我的身體知道 是該說再見的時候了
而我已準備好放手讓你離開
If injuries had made too many of his final contests a struggle, Bryant
completed his glorious 20-year career with the style that made him a
five-time NBA champion.
He showed the tenacity, toughness and talent that made him one of the
all-time greats in basketball history.
儘管傷病讓他的最後賽季充滿折磨與掙扎
但身為史上最偉大的球員之一 Kobe以他的韌性 硬派作風及天賦
獲得了五枚冠戒指 也讓他的20年職業生涯完美落幕
And unlike many games in his farewell season, Bryant's heroics helped to
bring victory. Trailing the Utah Jazz for most of that night, it was Bryant
that sparked the Lakers in the fourth quarter, rallying them single-handedly
to a 101-96 win.
Then with 4.1 seconds remaining, Bryant left the game. He was swarmed on the
court afterward by former teammates and coaches.
對爵士的最後一戰 在Kobe帶領下 湖人緊咬著爵士不放
並在第四節以隻手遮天的優異表現帶領湖人拿下勝利
終場前4.1秒 Kobe在前隊友及教練的簇擁下被換下場
"I can't believe how fast 20 years went by," Bryant told the Staples Center
crowd as he thanked the fans, his teammates and his family.
He recalled how it was his dream to play for the Lakers, his favorite team
growing up.
"You can't write something better than this," he said.
對滿場球迷 隊友及家人發表感言時 Kobe說:真的無法相信20年就這麼過去了!
他提起了能為湖人打球並讓球隊成長是他以前夢寐以求的事 如今都成真了
人生再也沒有比這更棒的事了
Bryant, who made 22 of 50 shots, laughed in his farewell speech because he'd
been told for two decades to pass the ball.
On the last night, he said, his teammates were telling him: "Don't pass it!"
Bryant, whom Magic Johnson referred to in a pregame ceremony as the greatest
Laker, finished his speech with "Mamba out"
