科比釋懷04年總決賽:平靜地接受生涯五冠這一結果

Kobe Bryant said he doesn't think too much about the 2004 Finals loss to the Detroit Pistons anymore, not unless someone brings it up. He has let it go.

湖人隊當家球星科比·布萊恩特近日表示，他現在已經很少再去想2004年總決賽負於活塞隊的事情了，除非有人提起來。對於那場失利，科比已經釋懷了。

But that series is now a topic of conversation, with Sunday marking his final game against the Pistons in Auburn Hills. On Saturday, Bryant, in his 20th season with the Lakers, reflected on that series with his usual bluntness.

然而隨着湖人隊明天將在奧本山挑戰活塞，11年前的那輪總決賽再度成爲了一個討論的話題。科比，在他在湖人的第20個賽季，再一次回顧了那輪系列賽。

"They were a better team," Bryant said after practice here. "They executed extremely well. They pressured us, and we weren't ready to go deeper into our offense and into our automatics. The stuff that wins us championships is being able to go into our automatics. We just weren't prepared to do it. They kicked our ass."

“他們（2004年的活塞）是一支更好的球隊。”科比訓練後表示，“他們的戰術執行得很好，他們對我們進行施壓，而我們沒有做好把進攻打得更細緻以及打出配合的準備。我們之前奪得總冠軍是因爲能夠打出配合。但是在那輪系列賽，我們沒有準備好去那麼做。他們狠狠地踢了我們的屁股。”

With Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and veteran stars Gary Payton and Karl Malone, the talent-heavy Lakers were heavy favorites, but the Pistons won the series, 4-1. Talent only goes so far, Bryant said.

那年的湖人擁有科比，奧尼爾，老而彌堅的球星加里·佩頓和卡爾·馬龍。這支充滿天賦的球隊也是奪冠大熱門，然而最終活塞隊以4比1的比分贏下了系列賽。科比對此表示，天賦只能把他們帶到這個程度了。

Winning a sixth championship to tie his idol, Michael Jordan, as well as possibly a seventh title to surpass Jordan, had long been a goal for Bryant. But Bryant said he's at peace with having five rings.

像他的偶像喬丹一樣，贏下六個總冠軍頭銜，或者，甚至是拿下七個總冠軍從而超越喬丹，是科比一直以來的目標。但是，科比表示，擁有5枚總冠軍戒指，他已經可以平靜地接受了。

"Listen, I worked as hard as I possibly could," Bryant said. "I did everything I could. I'm fine with that. When I started playing basketball, I knew I didn't want to have any regrets. I wanted to push as hard as I can, as much as I can. I've done that. So I'm completely fine with that."

“聽着，我已經儘自己最大努力地訓練和打球了。”他說道，“我做了自己所能做的一切。所以我能夠接受。當我開始打籃球時，我知道我不想留下任何的遺憾。我希望盡最大可能地去激勵自己。我已經做到了，所以我完全可以接受這個結果。”
