Kobe Bryant: Remembering the final game of 'The Black Mamba'
(CNN)Gone but never forgotten. As tributes poured in remembering Kobe
Bryant's remarkable basketball career following his death in a helicopter
crash on Sunday in California, fans were left cherishing countless memories
as they mourned the NBA great's passing.
虽已逝 但将被永远铭记
在Kobe因直升机坠毁事故丧生后 各界对他伟大生涯的致敬不断
球迷们只能透过无数的珍贵回忆来哀悼巨星的殒落
Fans' final vision of Bryant in a purple and gold uniform four years ago was
like many before as the Los Angeles Lakers' legend scored a spectacular 60
points in his farewell NBA game.
四年前Kobe身穿紫金战袍留给球迷的最后画面 就如同过往一样令人印象深刻
这位湖人传奇在他的最后一战
用令人赞叹的表现拿下60分
Outside the arena before the game against the Utah Jazz on that day in April
13, 2016, fans had chanted, "Ko-be! Ko-be!"
One fan, who with his two buddies paid $4,200 for three $34 tickets, told CNN
they came from Oregon to watch the final game.
"He's the greatest of our generation," he said. "He's been a great
inspiration for all of us."
2016.4.13 湖人队爵士战前 球迷早已聚集在球馆外高喊Kobe的名字
其中一位来自Oregon的球迷跟CNN记者说
他跟两位同伴为了三个原价34镁的座位 一共花了4200镁 就是为了欣赏Kobe的最后一战
他说 他是我们这个世代最伟大的 他鼓舞了我们所有人
Bryant had announced that season would be his last in a poignant letter
written in the form of a poem on The Players' Tribune.
"This season is all I have left to give," he wrote in "Dear Basketball." "My
heart can take the pounding. My mind can handle the grind. But my body knows
it's time to say goodbye.
"And that's OK. I'm ready to let you go."
Kob曾e以一封用诗写作的感人信件 宣布2015-16将是他的最后一个球季
在这封名为Dear Basketball的信中 他说到:
这个球季是我所能给的最后1个球季
我的心脏撑得住重创 我的理智禁得起折磨 但我的身体知道 是该说再见的时候了
而我已准备好放手让你离开
If injuries had made too many of his final contests a struggle, Bryant
completed his glorious 20-year career with the style that made him a
five-time NBA champion.
He showed the tenacity, toughness and talent that made him one of the
all-time greats in basketball history.
尽管伤病让他的最后赛季充满折磨与挣扎
但身为史上最伟大的球员之一 Kobe以他的韧性 硬派作风及天赋
获得了五枚冠戒指 也让他的20年职业生涯完美落幕
And unlike many games in his farewell season, Bryant's heroics helped to
bring victory. Trailing the Utah Jazz for most of that night, it was Bryant
that sparked the Lakers in the fourth quarter, rallying them single-handedly
to a 101-96 win.
Then with 4.1 seconds remaining, Bryant left the game. He was swarmed on the
court afterward by former teammates and coaches.
对爵士的最后一战 在Kobe带领下 湖人紧咬著爵士不放
并在第四节以只手遮天的优异表现带领湖人拿下胜利
终场前4.1秒 Kobe在前队友及教练的簇拥下被换下场
"I can't believe how fast 20 years went by," Bryant told the Staples Center
crowd as he thanked the fans, his teammates and his family.
He recalled how it was his dream to play for the Lakers, his favorite team
growing up.
"You can't write something better than this," he said.
对满场球迷 队友及家人发表感言时 Kobe说:真的无法相信20年就这么过去了!
他提起了能为湖人打球并让球队成长是他以前梦寐以求的事 如今都成真了
人生再也没有比这更棒的事了
Bryant, who made 22 of 50 shots, laughed in his farewell speech because he'd
been told for two decades to pass the ball.
On the last night, he said, his teammates were telling him: "Don't pass it!"
Bryant, whom Magic Johnson referred to in a pregame ceremony as the greatest
Laker, finished his speech with "Mamba out"
