The truth about Kobe Bryant in crunch time
By Henry Abbott/ESPN
关于Kobe在关键时刻的真相。
At the end of Game 2 of the 2009 Finals, the Magic knew who to
guard, and got the block.
在2009冠军赛第二场关键时刻，魔术知道要防守谁，也成功的盖了“他”火锅。
Ask pundits. Ask general managers. Ask players. Ask almost
anybody.
Who would like to have take the last shot with the game on the
line?
问任何与NBA有关的人，最后一击要给谁？
Kobe Bryant wins by a country mile. Every time. (In a general
manager poll this season, he earned 79% of the vote, his ninth
consecutive blowout.)
Kobe几乎每次都在类似投票中大幅度领先（本季对个球队经理的调查，
他以高达79%的比例连续九年获得压倒性胜利。）
There is not really any other serious candidate.
几乎没有人能在这项投票中望其项背。
Ask me, though, (as Ryen Russillo did last week and Mike Trudell
the other day) and I'll tell you I don't know who's the best, but
with all due respect to Bryant's amazing abilities scoring the
ball, there's zero chance he's the king of crunch time.
如果你要问我（或是之前有在注意关键时刻的专业球评），
那我会跟你说我不知道谁是最好的，我也非常尊敬Kobe惊人的得分能力，
但是他百分之百（几近0%）不会是关键时刻的王者。
The sin of predictability
观察一：可预测性
Bryant makes crunch time defense easy for opponents by shooting
just about every time he touches the ball (over a five-year
period, he mustered 56 clutch shots, to go with one assist).
Kobe的可预测性在于他几乎一碰到球就一定要射，
让关键时刻对手对他的防守相对简单许多。
（过去五年中关键时刻中他总共投了56球，只有一个助攻）
Fans of his raw machismo howl that such criticism misses the
point, but the point is that when Bryant gets the ball in crunch
time, it's a virtual certainty that he'll shoot it, and it's
better than two-to-one odds that he'll miss.
很多Kobe迷喜欢嚎叫说批评者搞不清楚状况。
但是重点是Kobe在关键时刻几乎肯定一拿到球他就一定要出手，
而且有远大于50%的机会他会投失。
In 1997, he famously airballed two shots that could have beat the
