Dwyane Wade admits that no one other than him would remember this moment, but
he’ll never forget it.
With the Heat visiting the Lakers tonight for the final time in Kobe Bryant’
s career, Wade shared his all-time favorite memory of playing against him:
“One that always comes to mind was my first time playing the Lakers. I told
Kobe this story for the first time at All-Star Weekend. It was just so not a
meaningful moment in basketball history at all.
Wade 分享一件除了他,没人记得的往事,那是关于他第一次作客湖人主场时,
他第一次防守Kobe。
他说:“我永远记得第一次对上湖人,明星赛时我跟 Kobe 提了这件事,不过
那对篮球史来说一点意义也没有。”
“We was getting our butts kicked by the Lakers that year when they had (Gary
Payton) and Karl Malone and Shaq and Kobe. It was the second half, late in
the game — and I had two fouls early so I didn’t play much — and then I
got an opportunity for my first time guarding Kobe one-on-one in transition
and I was so nervous.
“But I ripped him. For me, that was it. That was the Holy Grail. I ripped
him and I went down and scored or whatever. Inside, I felt so good. It didn't
mean nothing to him. They were up 30 or 40. But to me, it meant the world.”
“当时 F4 阵容的湖人把我们痛扁。下半场,背着两次犯规的我并没有上场太久,
后来我得到跟 Kobe 一对一的机会,我超紧张的。”
“不过我守住他了(虎扑译:盖 Kobe 火锅),对我来说,那是一个荣耀的成就。
我守下他,接着我得分还是怎样,我超爽的,对他来说,这没什么了不起,
他们当时领先 30 还是 40 分,可是这点燃了我的小宇宙。”
