60图致敬科比退役1周年：NBA精彩依旧我们却想你了

Day breaks in Downtown Los Angeles with the Lakers’ home arena getting wrapped for a special evening. Images celebrating Kobe Bryant’s historic run in the City of Angels will adorn every wall and window of the STAPLES Center.

对于洛杉矶来说，这是不平常的一天。

这天一大早，天使之城的斯台普斯中心球馆就焕然一新，每一面墙和每一扇窗户都被科比的巨幅海报所占据。在海报上，只有一句话——“谢谢你”。

Los Angeles Metro gets in on the celebration by renaming the Pico stop on the Blue Line to “Kobe Station” for the day.

洛杉矶的地铁站用自己的方式感谢科比，那就是在科比退役的这一天把球馆附近的Pico车站临时更名为“科比站”。

Signing walls have been placed all around L.A. Live and STAPLES Center, allowing fans to leave personal messages to #24.

在斯台普斯中心球馆的周围，工作人员摆满了签名墙，成百上千的球迷挤在签名墙前，为湖人的24号留下祝福。

Inside the building, the spotlights around the championship banners and retired jerseys that normally display Lakers logos have been flipped to 24s.

在湖人的那些冠军旗帜和退役球衣边，聚光灯化成了科比的24号。

More than three hours before tip-off and the crowd has filled Star Plaza, L.A. Live and Chick Hearn Court.

比赛开始前的3小时，球场外的直播广场就已经被球迷围得水泄不通了。

Larger than life.

到处是科比的“影子”。球迷说，看科比打球和生命一样重要。

The Mamba makes the walk from the loading dock to the locker room for the last time.

科比最后一次从停车场走向更衣室。这一次，他没有一脸严肃，而是面带笑容。

The media horde drops out as Kobe finds a respite from the cameras. Walking down the hallway where the Lakers’ retired-jersey players are honored with photos, there’s just enough room to add one more.

在经过球队办公室的时候，科比终于甩掉了记者和他们的长枪短炮。
科比经过的这条走廊两边墙上都挂满了名宿们的照片。当然，还有足够的位置再多挂一张他的。

After slipping into his game shorts and shooting shirt, Bryant heads into the lounge to check in and share a laugh with the man who was his teammate his rookie season and his coach in his 20th, Byron Scott.

换好了训练服，科比偷偷溜进了球队的休息室，和主教练拜伦·斯科特开起了玩笑。
在科比新秀赛季的时候，斯科特还是他的队友。

In an adjoining room, sideline reporter Mike Trudell interviews Kobe for the TWC SportsNet pregame show. “It’s a chance for me to say thank you to (the fans). I don’t look at it the other way around. It’s a chance for me to say thank you to them, because they really pushed me. I watched this city grow up. They’ve seen me grow up.”

科比进入了隔壁房间，接受湖人队场边记者Mike Trudell的赛前采访。
“这是一个我感谢球迷的机会，正是因为球迷的鼓励，才促使我不断进步。我见证了这座城市的成长，而球迷也见证了我的成长。”

After delivering the pregame huddle speech and telling his teammates to, “play your heart out, that’s how I want it,” Bryant crosses the threshold to meet cheers from the 18,997 fans.

在接受完采访后，科比告诉他的年轻队友们：“用心去打球，这就是我想要的比赛。”说完，科比跑向球场，投入现场18997名球迷的欢呼声中。

系上签名球鞋的鞋带，穿上签名球袜，科比将代表自己儿时就梦想加入的球队最后一次出战，他的袖子上绣满了他为这支球队取得的荣誉。

湖人队传奇主持人Lawrence Tanter的声音在球场响起，“请最后一次欢呼，接下来出场的是湖人队24号，198公分，来自劳尔梅里恩高中的5届总冠军球员——科比·布莱恩特。”

Dusk settles over STAPLES Center, creating a serene scene outside, while inside everyone remains on their feet, applauding the man of the hour.

斯台普斯中心球馆外，汽车飞驰，卷起尘埃，街道略显安静。在球场内，每一个人都兴奋地站着，为科比不停地鼓掌和尖叫。

After missing his first five shots, Kobe settles in, showing that classic shooting form and dropping the 16-footer to give the Lakers an 8-7 lead after seven minutes.

在开场投失了五个球后，科比进入状态。在完成一记急停跳投后，他帮助湖人将比分改写为8比7。

Julius Randle is every fan after the fadeaway deuce from the corner swishes through to give Bryant his eight and ninth points of the game. He’d quickly follow with a triple from 24 feet out to blow the top off the place for the first of many times.

科比又完成了一记标志性的后仰跳投，得到了自己的第9分，然后他迅速在三分线外又投中了高难度三分。
现场沸腾了，替补席上的湖人球员也抑制不住兴奋之情。

Attacking from the baseline like so many times before.

最后一场比赛，科比还是可以像曾经那样在底线完成犀利突破。

The one and only #24.

在球迷眼中，他就是篮球历史上唯一的24号

第三节，科比继续着自己火热的手感，内突外投得到了37分。

The Mamba stays in the game to start the fourth after pouring in 37 points through three quarters. The first make in the final stanza of his basketball life comes from 26 feet out when Marcelo Huertas leaves it for a wide-open Kobe on the trail.

第四节开场，科比继续留在球场上，并且一开场就在对手面前完成了一记大号三分。
这是他的最后一节，他已经准备好用尽全力为球迷奉献一切。

爵士队的主教练昆因·施耐德希望通过暂停打乱科比的节奏，但是重新回到球场后，科比得到了自己在当晚的第43分。

He’s got it workin’.

科比的努力得到了回报。

Someday soon, the jersey with the 24 on the back will hang as high above the STAPLES Center floor near the 24s that are projected on the wall.

迟早有一天，科比的24号球衣也会悬挂在斯台普斯中心球馆的上空。

Soaring by the 8.

场边新换的8号地板，衬托着最后一夜依然努力的科比。

Pulling up from 20 feet out for the 13,733rd career bucket. The final field goal of his career proves to be the final go-ahead shot as well for the man who relished crunch time as much as anyone.

最后时刻，科比在三分线附近投进了自己职业生涯的第13733个进球。这是他职业生涯的最后一个运动战投篮，却是帮助湖人反超比分的关键一球。

58 points draw applause from his daughters, who have been sitting courtside imploring Dad to keep racking up the points, which results in a classic Mamba face from the man himself. After the game he would remark that he was happy that the kids were able to see him perform, “like I used to.”

得到58分后，科比的女儿情不自禁地为父亲鼓掌加油，这也使得科比再一次露出了他经典的“曼巴表情”。
在比赛结束后，科比很庆幸自己的孩子在场边看着他，“这就像曾经一样令人怀念。”

科比最后一次以球员的身份接受全场球迷的欢呼。

Blow it up, Gianna.

科比和女儿完成特别的庆祝动作。

“What can I say? Mamba out.”

赛后，科比再次向球迷致意：“我还能说什么？黑曼巴要离开了。”

While it was a mic-drop finish like none we’ve ever seen, the man respects the hollowed ground too much to actually follow through on the act, instead delicately placing the microphone on the Lakers logo.

在说完最后一句话后，科比将麦克风放在地上，向湖人队最后致谢。

The confetti cannons blast yellow flakes throughout STAPLES.

球场的礼炮炸响，整个球场都布满了紫金色纸片。

Ooooooooooweee what a night.

能以这样的分数完成告别战，科比也忍不住扮起了鬼脸。

Let it flow.

科比举起酒瓶，让香槟肆意在身上流淌。

You’ve earned it.

队友们开心地喊着：“这是你应得的。”

A night — and career — for the ages.

庆祝过后，科比安静地坐着，让时间流逝。

“Now it’s on you to carry this forward.”

即使要离开这里，科比还是不忘叮嘱他的后辈：“以后，湖人就要靠你们不断向前了。”

Definitely a keeper.

在告别战的数据表上签字，这将是科比最重要的纪念品之一。

His final words to the media: “Seriously, thank you. I’ve liked most of you guys over my career; hated some of you guys for my career. But then actually come to appreciate everything you guys do. Truly, truly, thank you so much for all of these years. Lotta things you guys have written have inspired me, pushed me, have made me the player I am today.”

科比最后一次参加赛后发布会。
他说：“真的，谢谢你们。在我的职业生涯里，我喜爱你们大部分人，但是也讨厌其中一小部分人。但最后，我还是感谢你们所做的一切。你们写的很多东西激励着我，迫使我不断进步，让我成为今天的科比。”
