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. 小飞侠已经准备好要招供了，就在湖人为了扞卫他们的冠军而对抗波士顿之际， 他们的天才领导者亲口证实了其实他偷师了很多人的绝招。 "I seriously have stolen all my moves from the greatest players," he admitted. Kobe承认：「我的确是从伟大球员身上偷学到了很多东西」 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. 在欣赏Kobe的高光同时，你会从中发现一些名人堂成员的影子。 他过人切入及创造投篮空间的方式像Oscar Robertson、 充满爆发力的急停跳投有Jerry West的味道、 背框接球晃肩挑篮则是师自Hakeem Olajuwon。 Bryant incorporated the skills of these legends into his game by breaking down their finest moments on film. 老大就是这样，总是把别人的绝招转化为自己的技能(大空翼？)， 从而建立起自己的风格。 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，打篮球对於Kobe来说并不容易，因为他在10岁以前都是和家人一起生活在义大利， 当时那里的篮球环境很差。 那时Kobe的父亲曾打过8年NBA，Kobe的爷爷经常给他们邮寄 TNT的NBA节目录像带，正是因为有这些录像带，Kobe才会在幼年时期打下较坚实的篮球基 础。 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. 然而当时并没有任何人可以给Kobe学习，说起Kobe第一次接触NBA，那还是他老爹亲自为 他播放的一卷亚特兰大老鹰的比赛实况。 "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." 「我老爸当时告诉我，『看这个，看到这个人了吗？这会教给你如何使用自己的左手。』 Kobe说，“那个人就是John Battle，他是个左撇子，用左手运球，用左手上篮」 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. 当Kobe成为一名18岁的NBA新秀时，看比赛影像已经成为他日常生活中不可或缺的一环， 因为当时人们都认为，以他当时的瘦弱体格，根本无法击败任何人。 "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." 「我当时瘦得皮包骨，我清楚知道要想取得任何成绩，就得比我的对手做更多的努力。」 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曾经在一场与达拉斯小牛的季前赛前做了很多准备。 那场比赛他要和Jimmy Jackson 以及Jason Kidd对位。在比赛中，Jackson试图往右转身变向突破眼前的菜鸟，但Kobe很 乾净的断掉了他的球。 因为看过大量的比赛影像，Kobe已经对Jackson的动作了若指掌。 "It was only a preseason game, but I prepared for it like it was the state championship," he said. 「其实那只是一场季前赛，但是我完全是把他当做州冠军赛去准备的。」 Kobe回顾自己当时的心情说道。 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最近看了许多ESPN的影像，包括West，Robertson，Olajuwon，Elgin Baylor， Michael Jordan以及Magic Johnson等人，Kobe指出自己分别偷学了他们的哪些绝招。 Robertson, said Bryant, is "like looking at LeBron James years ago. Same build. Stronger than anybody else." 关於Oscar Robertson，Kobe的评价是：他就像是上古时期的LeBron James。 他们有一样的体型，都比其他球员强壮。” 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." 关於Robertson的技术，Kobe也进行了解剖：「他经常沉到底线，然後拉开空间单打。他 会做一个假动作然後突然急起跳投，防守球员通常都来不及反应，而他已经在空中出手了 。我一直以来都使用这一招。」 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." 当画面出现West的身影时，Kobe显得非常急切，毕竟West是湖人教父，他在Kobe身上投入 了太多心血。 对於West，Kobe也进行了讲解：「West的急停跳投非常厉害。Oscar能用他 的身体制造空间，而我更像Jerry，我们都没有杰出的身体条件，都是利用敏捷度找到投 篮的空间。」 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对West柔顺、突然的急停跳投十分感兴趣，他把West的动作单独剪辑下来，然後在球 场上反覆练习。 如果他的“山寨版”动作没有练习成功，那麽Kobe会回家继续观看视频 ，找出他们之间的细微差别，并努力将自己的动作变得更加完美。 Baylor's highlight reel prompted Bryant to coin the former Lakers great "the footwork king." 贝勒爷的高光也指点了Kobe去学习这位湖人有名的"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?" 「贝勒爷是J博士和Jordan之前就闻名的飞人。他能在空中做出那麽多有想像力的动作 。这真是太酷了。我想问问他是怎麽做到的？」 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. 後来Kobe发现，贝勒爷的秘密就在於他的独门步法。 很多得分手在攻击篮框之前都会有 一些脚步调整，但贝勒爷的步法和他们都不同，这就让防守者始终非常迷惑。 当然，贝 勒爷的下球第一步也非常有爆发力，他的身体素质也非常出色。 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，贝勒爷最喜欢用右脚当轴心脚，用左脚做假动作来欺骗对手：“对於一名右撇 子球员来说，这种步法非常别扭，但贝勒爷就做的浑然天成。 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还非常喜欢Magic Johnson，他一度醉心於魔术神鬼莫测的精妙传球，且还因此减少 了沉浸在学习飞人风格中的时间。 "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." 我当时不是Jordan的粉丝，”Kobe承认，“我并不是说不喜欢Jordan，我当时是魔术的粉 丝。後来我发现我不能长到6尺9寸，而只能长到6尺6寸。那时候我才开始寻找Jordan和我 之间的一些共同点。我想我向Jordan学习到如何在比我们更高大的球员面前投篮。” 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承认，他的进攻虽然比较像Jordan，但其中也夹杂了一些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." 「由於他的超凡身体素质、求胜决心，Michael的投篮完全是另一个层次的，他和其他人 是在不同水平线上的。」 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." 他总是能在事情发生之前出言提醒人们，”视频编辑师Patrick O'Keefe说，“他们就会 说『哦，你是怎麽知道的？』其实很简单，Kobe总是比别人做了更多的功课。” Kobe就是这样不断前进，去年9月，他又向"大梦"学习如何进行低位单打。 “在底线包夹 我，对於任何球队来说都不容易，”Kobe说，“因为我们低位能进攻的球员太多了。其实 我只是学习了老一辈球员的东西而已，现在没有任何步法是新的，没有什麽东西是前辈们 没做过的。” http://ppt.cc/ek03 -- 後面懒得翻就只翻个大概了，要补完的人接力吧 将别人的绝招转化为自己的技巧！ --
