"It's tough, but as the leader of this ballclub, you've got to be able to come out and play through that, set the tone early," Bryant said. "It's just a challenge. Another challenge. You do whatever it is you have to do to get yourself ready to play." Byrant說: "這並不簡單, 可是當你是球隊的領袖時, 你必須要能出來帶領而且撐過去, 及早把氣勢打出來." "這只是一個挑戰, 另一個挑戰. 你要做任何你需要做的事去讓你準備好去比賽"
"It's just Kobe-ish," said trainer Gary Vitti, in his 24th season with the Lakers. "We couldn't get him out of bed [earlier] to get the fluids into him that we wanted to. He roughed it."
Then Vitti tapped his temple.
"He's got it here," Vitti said. "It's all mental. Always has been."
當了Lakers24年防護/訓練員的Gary Vitti說: "這就像Kobe. 我們早上沒辦法把他弄起床來幫他打點滴."
然後Vitti敲敲他的腦袋, "在他這裡, 一切都是意志力. 一直都是"

看昨天那場球有看到當年Jordon發高燒還得39分帶領Bulls贏季後賽那場的感覺. 當然比賽重要性完全不一樣, 對手強度也不一樣. 共同的是這兩個人的對比賽, 對球隊, 對籃球的執著.
打不動真籃球就只好玩Fantasy了
