Kobe Bryant Declines Tom Thibodeau's Offer to Play in 2016 Olympics
Kobe Bryant拒绝Tom Thibodeau的邀请，不参加2016奥运。
Injuries and Father Time(注一) are finally catching up to Kobe Bryant, but
that hasn't stopped Team USA assistant and Chicago Bulls head coach Tom
Thibodeau from trying to recruit the Black Mamba for the 2016 Olympic Games.
Kobe Bryant面临伤病和岁月的摧残。但美国队助理教练也是芝加哥公牛队总教练Tom
Thibodeau还是希望黑曼巴可以参加2016的奥运球赛。
Lakers Nation's Serena Winters relayed Thibs' aim via Twitter:
湖人记者在推特上发文：
Tom Thibodeau在赛前记者会表示他想要说服Kobe加入2016的美国队。
Apparently, Kobe (who will turn 38 in August of 2016) has no interest in the
idea:
Kobe本人(将在2016八月变成38岁)并没有这个想法：
Kobe拒绝Tom Thibodeau邀请他加入2016奥运。
Given his age, the rejection shouldn't be too surprising. But fans fond of
Kobe and the nostalgia that will undoubtedly surround him at that point
in his career may be disappointed.
从他的年纪看来，这次的拒绝并不会让人太惊讶。但Kobe的球迷和一些怀旧的人可能会有
些失望。
Bryant earned two gold medals with Team USA for his work during the 2008 and
2012 Olympic Games, averaging 15 points in the former and 12.1 in the latter.
He also served as a leader on and off the court for both squads.
Kobe和美国队在2008和2012时拿到两面金牌。2008平均15分，2012平均12.1分。他更是场
上和场下的领导人。
Thibodeau may not have been looking for that kind of production from Kobe in
2016, but rather the experience and leadership that he would bring.
Thibodeau也许不期待如果Kobe在2016出赛还会有以往的表现，但他期待Kobe能带领球队
和传授经验。
Another interesting angle of Bryant in the 2016 Olympics would be the
potential of a last hurrah for the Black Mamba. The two-year extension
Kobe recently signed will end after the 2015-16 season. Earning a gold medal
that summer would be a fitting way for him to close out his illustrious
career.
从另一个有趣的角度来看，Kobe如果在2016参加奥运，那可能会是黑曼巴生涯最后的喝采。
Kobe最近才签了一只两年延长合约，将会在2015-16赛季结束。若在2016夏天拿下金牌，
将为他辉煌的生涯做完美的结尾。
Kobe himself seems uninterested in any of that, however:
但是Kobe似乎完全没有兴趣:
Kobe说他会观赛并且看Paul Gosal拿下另一个银牌。
注一： Father Time 岁月、时间老人(拟人化)
心得: 老大好酸XDDD
