[外絮] Kobe Bryant: Imitating greatness
Kobe Bryant: Imitating greatness
By Jackie MacMullan
ESPN.com
PHOENIX -- Kobe Bryant is ready to come clean. As the Los Angeles Lakers
prepared to defend their NBA championship against the Boston Celtics, their
gifted leader confessed he has plagiarized almost everything in his patented
basketball portfolio.
小飛俠已經準備好要招供了，就在湖人為了捍衛他們的冠軍而對抗波士頓之際，
他們的天才領導者親口證實了其實他偷師了很多人的絕招。
"I seriously have stolen all my moves from the greatest players," he
admitted.
Kobe承認：「我的確是從偉大球員身上偷學到了很多東西」
Watch a highlight reel of Kobe and you will witness Hall of Fame hints of
influence sprinkled throughout: the way he freezes defenders and creates
space in the mold of Oscar Robertson, or the explosive pull-up jumper he
copied from Jerry West, or the post-up shake-and-go he took from Hakeem
Olajuwon.
在欣賞Kobe的高光同時，你會從中發現一些名人堂成員的影子。
他過人切入及創造投籃空間的方式像Oscar Robertson、
充滿爆發力的急停跳投有Jerry West的味道、
背框接球晃肩挑籃則是師自Hakeem Olajuwon。
Bryant incorporated the skills of these legends into his game by breaking
down their finest moments on film.
老大就是這樣，總是把別人的絕招轉化為自己的技能(大空翼？)，
從而建立起自己的風格。
It's an obsession that began when Kobe was 10 years old and living with his
family in Italy, where his father, Joe "Jelly Bean" Bryant, played pro
basketball after an eight-year NBA career. Kobe's grandfather routinely sent
over tapes of NBA broadcasts, which had just begun airing on TNT, and the
young boy devoured them.
最初，打籃球對於Kobe來說並不容易，因為他在10歲以前都是和家人一起生活在義大利，
當時那裡的籃球環境很差。 那時Kobe的父親曾打過8年NBA，Kobe的爺爺經常給他們郵寄
TNT的NBA節目錄像帶，正是因為有這些錄像帶，Kobe才會在幼年時期打下較堅實的籃球基
礎。
Yet it wasn't just the Hall of Famers who Kobe emulated. One of the first
films his father broke down for his son was an Atlanta Hawks game.
然而當時並沒有任何人可以給Kobe學習，說起Kobe第一次接觸NBA，那還是他老爹親自為
他播放的一捲亞特蘭大老鷹的比賽實況。
"My father told me, 'Watch this. See this guy? This is how you can make use
of your left hand,' " Kobe said. "It was John Battle, dribbling left and
laying it in."
「我老爸當時告訴我，『看這個，看到這個人了嗎？這會教給你如何使用自己的左手。』
Kobe說，“那個人就是John Battle，他是個左撇子，用左手運球，用左手上籃」
By the time Bryant was an 18-year-old NBA rookie, game film had become a
significant part of his routine, in part because he recognized he would not
overpower anyone with his slender frame.
當Kobe成為一名18歲的NBA新秀時，看比賽影像已經成為他日常生活中不可或缺的一環，
因為當時人們都認為，以他當時的瘦弱體格，根本無法擊敗任何人。
"I was a scrawny kid," he said. "I knew for me to get any type of edge
whatsoever I had to be more prepared than the person I was matching up
against."
「我當時瘦得皮包骨，我清楚知道要想取得任何成績，就得比我的對手做更多的努力。」
He spent hours preparing for an exhibition game against Dallas in Boise,
Idaho, by poring over film of Jimmy Jackson and Jason Kidd. The first time
Jackson spun to his right with a crossover to blow past the rookie, Kobe
picked him clean. He already knew exactly what Jackson planned to do.
Kobe曾經在一場與達拉斯小牛的季前賽前做了很多準備。 那場比賽他要和Jimmy Jackson
以及Jason Kidd對位。在比賽中，Jackson試圖往右轉身變向突破眼前的菜鳥，但Kobe很
乾淨的斷掉了他的球。 因為看過大量的比賽影像，Kobe已經對Jackson的動作瞭若指掌。
"It was only a preseason game, but I prepared for it like it was the state
championship," he said.
「其實那只是一場季前賽，但是我完全是把他當做州冠軍賽去準備的。」
Kobe回顧自己當時的心情說道。
Bryant sat down recently with ESPN to break down film of West, Robertson,
Olajuwon, Elgin Baylor, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, and revealed which
part of their games he pilfered.
Kobe最近看了許多ESPN的影像，包括West，Robertson，Olajuwon，Elgin Baylor，
Michael Jordan以及Magic Johnson等人，Kobe指出自己分別偷學了他們的哪些絕招。
Robertson, said Bryant, is "like looking at LeBron James years ago. Same
build. Stronger than anybody else."
關於Oscar Robertson，Kobe的評價是：他就像是上古時期的LeBron James。
他們有一樣的體型，都比其他球員強壯。”
As images of Oscar flickered on the screen, Bryant offered his own
play-by-play: "He's coming down, isolating, now it's a glitch and a pump
fake. Freeze the defender then raise up and shoot it anyway. I use that all
the time."
關於Robertson的技術，Kobe也進行了解剖：「他經常沉到底線，然後拉開空間單打。他
會做一個假動作然後突然急起跳投，防守球員通常都來不及反應，而他已經在空中出手了
。我一直以來都使用這一招。」
When footage of Jerry West appeared on the screen, Kobe leaned forward
eagerly. His former Lakers mentor spent many hours discussing angles,
footwork and positioning with Bryant.
"His pull-up jump shot was vicious," Kobe said. "Oscar used his body, but
Jerry is kind of like me -- he doesn't have that big old booty. He's got to
use his quickness to get his shot off."
當畫面出現West的身影時，Kobe顯得非常急切，畢竟West是湖人教父，他在Kobe身上投入
了太多心血。 對於West，Kobe也進行了講解：「West的急停跳投非常厲害。Oscar能用他
的身體製造空間，而我更像Jerry，我們都沒有傑出的身體條件，都是利用敏捷度找到投
籃的空間。」
Bryant fell in love with West's smooth and sudden release. As a child, he
studied the cuts West used to get open, then went out in the playground and
tested them out. If his offerings got thrown back in his face, he'd play the
tape again and try to discern which nuance he hadn't perfected.
Kobe對West柔順、突然的急停跳投十分感興趣，他把West的動作單獨剪輯下來，然後在球
場上反覆練習。 如果他的“山寨版”動作沒有練習成功，那麼Kobe會回家繼續觀看視頻
，找出他們之間的細微差別，並努力將自己的動作變得更加完美。
Baylor's highlight reel prompted Bryant to coin the former Lakers great "the
footwork king."
貝勒爺的高光也指點了Kobe去學習這位湖人有名的"步法之王"。
"He was Dr. J and Michael Jordan before Dr. J and Michael Jordan," Kobe said.
"He could get to the basket and do all these incredible things in the air,
but I wanted to know, how did he get to the basket? It's cool to be able to
do all those fancy things, but how did he get here?"
「貝勒爺是J博士和Jordan之前就聞名的飛人。他能在空中做出那麼多有想像力的動作
。這真是太酷了。我想問問他是怎麼做到的？」
The answer, young Kobe discovered, lay in Baylor's unorthodox footwork. While
most scorers like to establish a rhythm in the way they attack the basket,
Elgin was adept at mixing up his fakes, thereby keeping the defender
guessing. His explosive first step, as well as his superior strength, made
that possible.
後來Kobe發現，貝勒爺的秘密就在於他的獨門步法。 很多得分手在攻擊籃框之前都會有
一些腳步調整，但貝勒爺的步法和他們都不同，這就讓防守者始終非常迷惑。 當然，貝
勒爺的下球第一步也非常有爆發力，他的身體素質也非常出色。
Kobe pointed out images of Baylor pivoting on his right foot and using his
left foot to fake out the defense.
"It's an uncomfortable move for right-handed players, but he looked
absolutely natural doing it," he said.
Kobe指出，貝勒爺最喜歡用右腳當軸心腳，用左腳做假動作來欺騙對手：“對於一名右撇
子球員來說，這種步法非常彆扭，但貝勒爺就做的渾然天成。
Bryant became enchanted with Magic's court vision, his ability to anticipate,
and his uncanny knack for delivering the ball precisely where it benefited
his teammates most. His allegiance to Magic prevented him from immersing
himself in the lore of Michael Jordan.
Kobe還非常喜歡Magic Johnson，他一度醉心於魔術神鬼莫測的精妙傳球，且還因此減少
了沉浸在學習飛人風格中的時間。
"I wasn't a fan, actually," Kobe admitted. "Not that I didn't like Jordan. I
was just a big Magic fan so it was a territorial thing, but when I realized I
wasn't going to be 6-foot-9 like my dad and I was pretty much stuck at this
height [6-foot-6], I started seeing similarities between Jordan and me in
terms of physique and things like that.
"I figured I could learn from him how he got his shot off against bigger
players."
我當時不是Jordan的粉絲，”Kobe承認，“我並不是說不喜歡Jordan，我當時是魔術的粉
絲。後來我發現我不能長到6尺9寸，而只能長到6尺6寸。那時候我才開始尋找Jordan和我
之間的一些共同點。我想我向Jordan學習到如何在比我們更高大的球員面前投籃。”
As he charted Jordan's signature offensive assaults, Bryant recognized His
Airness had also appropriated West's and Robertson's moves -- with one major
difference.
Kobe承認，他的進攻雖然比較像Jordan，但其中也夾雜了一些West、Robertson的技巧。
"Michael took it to a whole other level with his athletic ability,
determination and fundamentals," Kobe said. "At the end of the day, that's
what separated him from everyone else."
「由於他的超凡身體素質、求勝決心，Michael的投籃完全是另一個層次的，他和其他人
是在不同水平線上的。」
As the odometer on Bryant's body keeps advancing, he recognizes the need to
be more effective below the rim. In September 2009, he spent an afternoon
with Olajuwon breaking down post moves. He learned it was the subtle shift to
either side of the block, or the sudden upfake, that made the Dream so
effective. Bryant has incorporated some of Olajuwon's sequences on the block
and enjoyed tremendous success with them.
"It's very tough for teams to double me from [the post] because of the amount
of talent we have," he said. "If I'm sitting on the perimeter guys can trap
and zone up, but if I catch it down on the block, with the fakes I have and
the ability I have to shoot, I'm going to give you fits."
Bryant's belief in film study has extended beyond his own locker. After he
views halftime clips prepared for him by the Lakers' video staff, he
occasionally waves coach Phil Jackson over to discuss a rotation he's
identified. He often corrals teammates, fires up the laptop, and shows them
precisely how they can carve out easier shots for themselves.
"He mentions stuff to them before it happens," said video coordinator Patrick
O'Keefe. "They say, 'How did you know that?' It's because he's studied it.
He's better-prepared than anyone."
“
In the late stages of Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against
Phoenix, Bryant sealed in the post, caught Phoenix napping with a head fake,
and nailed a turnaround jumper that was positively Dream-like. The experts
lauded the move as yet another weapon Bryant created for his arsenal.
Yet Kobe knows he stole it from Hakeem.
"There isn't a move that's a new move," he said. "There's nothing that hasn't
been done before."
他總是能在事情發生之前出言提醒人們，”視頻編輯師Patrick O'Keefe說，“他們就會
說『哦，你是怎麼知道的？』其實很簡單，Kobe總是比別人做了更多的功課。”
Kobe就是這樣不斷前進，去年9月，他又向"大夢"學習如何進行低位單打。 “在底線包夾
我，對於任何球隊來說都不容易，”Kobe說，“因為我們低位能進攻的球員太多了。其實
我只是學習了老一輩球員的東西而已，現在沒有任何步法是新的，沒有什麼東西是前輩們
沒做過的。”
