Kobe：never say goodbye

By Jerry Chen

出手50次，耗盡了最后一絲力氣，轟下60分——在經(jīng)歷了漫長的20個賽季之后，2016年4月14日，“黑曼巴”打出了屬于自己的史詩絕戰(zhàn)。賽后，“黑曼巴”發(fā)表了告別感言。這一告別宣告了20年的落幕，讓人恍如隔世。

Man!Guys,you know,I can't believe how fast 20 years went by.This is crazy.This is absolutely crazy.And to be standing here at center court with you guys,my teammates behind me and appreciating all this,the journey that we've been on—we've been through our ups and been through our downs,and I think the most important part is that we all stayed together throughout.

You know,I grew up a die-hard.I mean a die-hard Laker fan.Die-hard.I mean,I knew everything about every player that's ever played here.So to be drafted and then traded to this organization and to spend 20 years here,I mean,you can't write something better than this.

I'm more proud not about the championships,but about the down years.Because we didn't run.We didn't run.We played through all that stuff.We got our championships,and we did it the right way.All I can do here is just thank you guys.Thank you guys for all the years of support.Thank you guys for all the motivation.Thank you for all the inspiration.

You know what's funny.The thing that had me cracking up all night long is that the fact that I go through 20 years of everybody screaming to pass the ball and on the last night.They're like“Don't pass it”.This has been absolutely beautiful,you guys.I can't believe it's come to an end.You guys will always be in my heart，and I sincerely,sincerely appreciate it.No words can describe how I feel about you guys.Thank you,thank you from the bottom of my heart.I love you guys.I love you guys.

To my family—my wife Vanessa,my daughters Natalia and Gianna—thank you guys for all your sacrifices.For all the hours I spent in the gym working and training.And Vanessa,you holding down the family the way that you have,I can't,there's no way that I can thank you enough.So,from the bottom of my heart,thank you.

What can I say?Mamba out.

伙計們，我很難相信這20年這么快就過去了。這很瘋狂，絕對地瘋狂。和你們一起站在中心球場，我的隊友們在我身后，欣賞這一切，我們的旅程，我們一直在經(jīng)歷起起伏伏，我認(rèn)為最重要的是，我們都待在一起。

我是個死忠粉，我指的是湖人隊的死忠粉，死忠。我的意思是，我知道所有的球員都在這里打球。因此，要選秀，然后交易到這個聯(lián)盟，并花了20年在這里，我的意思是，你很難詮釋出比這更好的東西。

比起冠軍，我更為那些艱難的歲月而感到驕傲.因為我們沒有逃跑。我們沒有逃跑.我們經(jīng)歷了所有的東西。我們得到了冠軍，我們做了正確的方式。我所能做的只是感謝你們。感謝所有的支持你的人。謝謝你們所給的動力，謝謝你們給予的激勵。

你們知道什么是有趣的事。讓我整夜崩潰的事實就是我經(jīng)歷了20年以及昨夜。其間，每個人都在尖叫著要我傳球。他們像是在說，“別傳了”。很難相信這是結(jié)束。你們將永遠(yuǎn)在我心中，我真誠，真誠地感謝它。沒有一句話可以形容我對你的感覺。謝謝你們，從心底里謝謝你們。我愛你們。我愛你們。

我的家人，我的妻子瓦妮莎，我的女兒娜塔莉和吉安娜，謝謝你們所有的犧牲。我花了所有的時間在健身房工作和訓(xùn)練，而瓦妮莎，你以你的方式照顧著家人，我不能（照顧家里），除了感謝你沒有別的方式（表達(dá)）了。所以，從我的心底，謝謝你。

我還能說什么呢？曼巴走了。
