Evan Turner 谈起首次与 Kobe Bryant 对位前听到的恐怖故事。
“It’s kind of crazy because he’s the Black Mamba, so obviously you know
how talented he is. And you walk in, you hear horror stories before you
play him. So it’s a little different," Turner explained. "I had met him
before, so when I walked on the court he said, ‘Let’s go, young fella.’
And I’m like, 'Oh my God, this ain’t the year.' You know?"
“那有点疯狂，因为他是 Black Mamba。你当然知道他的天赋，你走进去，
在跟他交手之前，你会听到关于他的恐怖故事。”
“我以前见过他。所以当我在球场上碰到他时，他说：‘让我们开始吧，
年轻人。’”
"He was super nice to me," Turner said. "I had teammates that said,
‘When you go out there, don’t look at him in his eye. Don’t talk to him
or anything; it’s going to give him an edge.’ Like he’s some type of
pit bull or something. ... Then he came up to me and patted me on my back.
He was like, ‘How you doing? How’s your mom?’ I was like,
‘She’s all right.'"
“他对我超级好。”
“我的队友曾说：‘当你在场上时，不要看着他的眼睛。也不要和他说话。
那将会刺激他。’好像他是某种斗牛犬之类的。...然而他走过来拍拍我的后背，
我记得他说：‘你最近怎样？你的母亲还好吗？’我回答说：‘她很好。’”
最后 Kobe 在那场比赛得到33分。
