Kobe Bryant on ending career overseas: 'I can see myself doing that'
http://tinyurl.com/o6xvvky
Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers gave Kobe Bryant a two-year contract
extension following his Achilles' tendon injury, people have wondered if the
2015-16 season will be Kobe Bryant's final campaign in the NBA.
Unfortunately, injuries have caused Kobe to limp toward his 20th season in
the NBA, after rupturing his Achilles near the end of season 17 for the
superstar. Since then, he's only played in 41 games total as the Lakers have
become one of the doormats of the NBA.
即使湖人队在老大阿基里斯腱受伤之后依然开出两年的延长合约，人们还是怀疑2015-16
球季会不会就是KOBE的最后一季了。不幸的是，这次的伤可能会让这位超级巨星只能在
伤病的情况下从20年的职业生涯中退休了。从阿基里斯腱伤势后，KOBE只出赛41场比赛，
湖人队也成为了垫底球队之一。
As Kobe enters his 20th season, he has a decision to make regarding whether
or not it will be his final season in the NBA. In a Q&A with Yahoo's Marc
Spears, we find out Kobe is still undecided on this being his last season. He
also reveals that even if it is his last season in the NBA, he may still
consider playing some professional ball in a place like Italy or China.
当KOBE要迈入第20个球季，他必须要决定是否这是他的最后一季。在访谈中，我们发现
KOBE到现在为止都还没下定决心是否要退休。他同时也亲自证实，就算他自NBA退休，也
不排除到海外譬如意大利或是中国继续打球的可能性。
Q: Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has hinted that next season can be
your last. Could it be?
记者：湖人总管Mitch Kupchak曾暗示下一季就是你的最后一季了，是真的吗？
Kobe: “We haven't set anything in stone and I've talked about it before. But
could this be the last [season]? Absolutely. It's tough to decide. It's
really tough to make those types of decisions. Players I have spoken to say,
‘Kobe you will know.'
老大：之前我说过，我们还没有定论，但这是“最后一季”吗？这种决定实在很困难，有
些球员跟我说：“Kobe你终将会知道如何决定的。”
“I'm making this very simple. Either I like playing the game and going
through this process or I don't. I try to strip it down to the simplest form.
Either I like playing some more or I don't. But I think that decision needs
to be made after the season. It's hard to make a decision like that before
the season.”
老大：我正在尽可能简单化，我喜欢打球所以继续打，就像我喜欢做什么我不喜欢做什么
一样。我想在这球季后我就会决定，在此之前要下决定还是太难。
Q: After growing up in Italy and spending time in China, could you see
yourself ending your career playing at either place?
记者：在意大利长大以及在中国待了段时间，你有可能在海外以上这两个地方结束你的球
员生涯吗？
Kobe: “I can see myself doing that. I can see myself doing a lot of stuff.
That's a whole other question. I will make some decisions when I decide to
hang it up.”
老大：我可以想像我在那样做，我能想像我做很多事。在我决定在我决定离开NBA后我会
再考虑这些。
Whether Kobe finishes after this season or goes for a 21st season, he'll
finish with one of the most impressive résumés in NBA history and go down
as one of the top players we've ever seen in this league.
无论在这季或是继续第21个球季，KOBE的经历都会是NBA历史上最惊奇的一页之一，也是历
史上最顶尖的球星之一。
