ESPN球评 Stephen Smith说:“KOBE应该现在立刻退休”

Things aren’t looking great for Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. The
team sits in last place in the Western Conference at 2-12 and Bryant is
averaging only 15.2 points per game while shooting 31.1 percent from the
field.
最近湖人和Kobe看起来实在不太妙,湖人战绩2胜12负牌名西区倒数龙头,而Kobe平均每
场15.2分、出手命中率只有31.1%。
According to ESPN, Bryant tied his worst career shooting performance in which
he attempted at least five shots in Tuesday night’s 111-77 loss to the
undefeated Golden State Warriors. But the team’s problems go far deeper than
his shooting, Bryant said.
根据ESPN报导,尽管以生涯最糟的出手表现并以大比分输给了金州勇士的比赛之后,Kobe
认为比起他的出手,球队有更深层的问题。Kobe表示:
“I’m not really worried about it, honestly,” he said. “My shooting will
be better. I could’ve scored 80 tonight. It wouldn’t have made a damn
difference. We just have bigger problems. I could be out there averaging 35
points a game. We’d be what, 3-11? We’ve got to figure out how to play
systematically in a position that’s going to keep us in ballgames.”
“老实说我并不担心我的出手,我的出手一定会越来越好。我也可以得个80分但这根本没
有差别阿!我们有更大的问题!我也能一场得个35分但依然是3胜11负,我们必须在各个
位置上都更有系统地执行然后让我们持续保有竞争力。”
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith says it has gotten so bad that Bryant should just
retire. Right now. As in, during the season.
ESPN球评Stephen Smith则认为,情况已经很糟了,Kobe真的应该在球季中退休,
现在!立刻!
“Even the great Kobe Bryant can’t be great at age 37 with all of these
obstacles joined, colluding with one another to bring him down,” Smith said.
“It is a damn shame that Kobe has to go out this way. But it is over. There
is nothing he can do, especially in the Western Conference. His skills have
diminished.”
“就算是伟大的Kobe也没有办法在37岁的年龄去克服这些一起要把他拉下来的障碍,对于
Kobe必须以这样的状态下离开篮坛真的很遗憾,但一切都结束了,没有任何事他可以再去
做的了,他的才能已经消失。”
Smith continued: “I believe that it is over. I believe Kobe Bryant should
retire. …I don’t think he should wait. I doubt he’ll do it, but I think
Kobe should retire right now.
“我认为一切都结束了,他应该退休,不应该再等待,我不知道他会不会这样做但我希望
他现在就退休。”
Yeah, that’s probably not going to happen, even if Bryant is playing in his
20th season in the league. This is the guy who once scored 81 points in a
game, and whose competitiveness is legendary, even by NBA standards.
不过,尽管这是Kobe的第20个球季,这些都应该不太会发生。
他曾经单场81分、他是传奇中的传奇。
But Smith isn’t the only one asking Bryant to call it quits. Complex’s Russ
Bengtson wrote an open letter last Friday begging Bryant to retire.
Smith不是唯一一个叫他退休的人,评论家Russ Bengtson上周五曾写了一封公开信求他
退休。
“I think your career is over. I don’t mean at the end of the season, I mean
right now,” Bengtson wrote. “Honestly, the best thing you could do — for
your body, for your mind, for your family—is just to pack up that Staples
Center locker, take the helicopter back to the coast, and start enjoying life
as a former NBA player. It’s just not worth it anymore.”
“你的职业生涯已经结束了,我不是指这季结束后、而是现在!。老实说,对你的身体、
你的心理、你的家庭来说,现在你能做到最好的事就是立刻当上直升机离开球场回到岸边
的家尽情享受你的退休生活。现在这一切不再有价值了。”
Bryant has not said when he is officially retiring, but earlier this summer,
Lakers part-owner and executive vice president of basketball operations Jim
Buss told the Los Angeles Times that the team expects this season to be Bryant
’s last of his career.
Kobe尚未明确表示退休时程,但夏季初湖人高层Buss已经向媒体Los Angeles Times表示
希望今年就是kobe的最后一季。
“We’re going to approach it like it is, but that doesn’t mean it is,”
Buss said of Bryant. “I’m not going to sit there and say, ‘This is it,
Kobe, you’re done,’ because it’s not my decision, it’s his decision.”
“我们朝这方面靠近,但还没有确定就是这样了。我总不能对Kobe说"Kobe你已经完成了,
就这样囉!" 因为这不会是我的决定,是他的决定。”
And hey, Kobe, listen it’s not your fault. Smith added in his rant that he
doesn’t blame Bryant for his downfall, but “Father Time” and the Lakers
franchise.
不过Espn球评Smith表示“嘿Kobe,这不是你的错”,他并没有责怪他的殒落,一且只是岁
月和选择罢了。
“They neglected Kobe Bryant, left him to hang out and dry,” Smith said of
the Lakers. “And they have precipitated, expedited the process of Kobe’s
demise because of what they have surrounded him with and what they have
failed to surround him with. It is a tragedy what they have done to him. But
it is what it is. And because of it, we can’t deny that he looks how he
looks.”
另一方面,Smith提到湖人,“湖人忽略Kobe的问题,任由他悬在那里继续干涸、加速他的
终结,就只因为那些从他身上得到和没有从他身上得到的那些,湖人这样对他真是悲剧。
然而事情就是这样,尽管如此,我们依然不能否认他现在就是我们看到的这样。”
心得:没有运动员能永远强悍阿,选择急流勇退或是坚持下去都是个大难题。
