https://reurl.cc/K6KW7q
Bryant joined ESPN’s TV crew from the US Open on Thursday night to talk about
tennis, which he began playing after retiring from the NBA. He is putting out
a tennis book through his production company called “Legacy and the Queen”t
hat he was promoting.
During his appearance, Bryant was asked by John McEnroe what he thinks of anal
ytics.
Kobe今天去现场观看美网，也上ESPN和John McEnroe接受采访，被问到了对于数据分析的
想法。
“I hate it,” Kobe said. “It’s ridiculous. What numbers don’t tell you is
they don’t tell you the emotion. I don’t like analytics.
Kobe：我讨厌数据分析。这很荒谬，数字无法告诉你的是，它们无法告诉你球员的情绪。
我从来都不喜欢数据分析。
“You see the numbers, but the numbers don’t tell you how or why they are the
way they are. You have to be able to feel that, to sense that. Tendencies.”
你可以看到数字，但是数字并不会告诉你它们是如何呈现出来的，或者呈现出来的原因。
你必须去感受它们。那叫趋势。
Bryant then gave an example to illustrate his point. He said a stat could tell
you that a player goes to his left 60 percent of the time, but the stat won’
t tell you the player isn’t really comfortable going to his left and would pr
efer to go to his right. He says that’s the sort of thing you find out by sco
uting and watching video.
Kobe举了一个例子来说明他的观点，他说譬如有一项数据可以告诉你一名球员他有60%的
时间会往左侧移动，但数据不会告诉你该球员在左侧的位置其实不是很舒服且他更喜欢往
右侧移动。他说这类东西是要通过侦察和看影片来找到的。
