Kobe Bryant had always paid attention to film.
在意大利长大期间,他就经常观看比赛录像。
He watched it every so often growing up in Italy, where his father, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, played professionally and his only son learned tricks of the trade.
在意大利,他精彩观看比赛录像,当时,他的父亲乔-布莱恩特在意大利征战职业联赛,科比学到了不少伎俩。
He didn't truly embrace watching the film until Phil Jackson and Tex Winter came along during his fourth season with the Lakers.
在菲尔-杰克逊和泰克斯·温特于他在湖人的第四个赛季出现后,科比才开始真正地理解钻研录像的意义。
"I always had (that habit), so when Phil and (Lakers assistant coach) Tex came they helped me see the game in totality – the entire chess board," Bryant told USA TODAY Sports.
“我一直有观看比赛录像的习惯,所以当菲尔和泰克斯(湖人助教)到来后,他们帮助我以整体性思维去研究比赛——从整个大局出发,”科比说道,
"Growing up overseas, I was watching film at the smallest level, watching players, and watching their feet and watching the angles and trying to figure out like why this move works, why this move didn't work."
“我在海外长大,我之前只是在最初级的范围内观看比赛录像,观看球员,观看他们的脚步,观看他们的角度,努力弄清楚为什么这一动作有用,这样的一个动作就没有用。”
"I sat down with Tex and watched every game of our entire first season together, from the preseason all the way through the Finals (win over Indiana in six games)," Bryant said.
“我和泰克斯坐下来好好谈了谈,我们一起观看完了我们共事的第一个赛季的所有比赛,从季前赛一直到总决赛,”科比说道。
"And it was his mission to get me to see every little nuance and every little detail, and he watched the game at such a level that it was like he was picking up on things that were just incomprehensible, I think, for most players to even look at it."
“他的使命就是让我观察到每一个细小的细节和差别,他观看录像的水准非常之高,他讲到的很多要点,对大部分球员来讲都很难理解。”
Nineteen years later, Bryant has decided to share this skill with the basketball-loving world. And the show's format, as Bryant explained, will involve him taking viewers through the process of breaking down film and solving the playoff puzzle.
19年之后,科比决定将这门技术分享给整个篮球世界。如科比所言,这档节目的形式将会包括他带领观众分析比赛录像,解决一些季后赛的难题。
There are 15 episodes of hoops analysis scheduled, with Bryant credited as the writer, producer and host. The venture is a partnership between ESPN and Bryant's Granity Studios. Seven of those episodes are planned for the Finals.
这档节目预计有15集,科比将会担任编剧、制作人以及主持人,节目的合作双方为科比的Granity Studios以及ESPN,有7集节目是为了总决赛设定的。
"In the world of media today, with all this click-bait going on, and when people talk about basketball — the playoffs, in particular — they keep it on a very superficial level, right?" Bryant said.
“在当今的媒体时代,考虑到所有的标题党,当人们在讨论篮球时——尤其是季后赛——他们只在一个非常肤浅的水准讨论,对吗?”科比说道。
"This player's not passing the ball here. I think this team will win because they have more size, or I think this team will win because they're faster, or this team will win because they're better shooters.
“哦,这个球员怎么不传球,我认为这支球队会赢,因为他们更高大或者说我认为这支球队会赢,因为他们更快,或者说这支球队会赢,因为他们的射手更出色。
But nobody is looking at why things happen, right?
没人会去探究为何会发生这些事情,对吗?
And so, from that standpoint, I said, 'Ok, well how did I used to study film?' I used to break down film in a very, very specific way in order to win a game in the playoffs."
所以,从这一角度,我会说:‘好的,我过去是如何研究比赛录像的?'为了在季后赛中赢得一场比赛,我过去常常会以一种非常非常特殊的方式去研究录像。”科比说道。
"So I actually created a show that was just that. If I took on the personality of James Harden, of Steph Curry, DeMar DeRozan, whoever. If I was them and we just played Game 1, I go home and I watch Game 1, (so) what am I learning from that? What would I be studying for that to get ready for Game 2? That's what this show is."
“所以,我为此创作了一档节目。如果我成为詹姆斯-哈登,或是斯蒂芬-库里、德马尔-德罗赞或是任何人,如果我是他们,我们第一场季后赛打完了,我会回到家,观看第一场比赛的录像,我可以从中学到什么呢?为了准备好应战第二场比赛,我应该研究什么呢?这就是这档节目要讲述的东西。”科比说道。
Bryant's only regret about the show? That it wasn't around when he was a kid.
唯一让科比遗憾的是,在他还是小孩的时候,没有这样的节目
"If this show was around then, if Magic (Johnson) was doing a show like this or (Larry) Bird was doing a show like this, and I was digesting this content at 11, 12 years old?" he said.
“如果我小时候就有这档节目,如果魔术师(约翰逊)做一档这样的节目,如果拉里(伯德)做一档这样的节目,你想想,我在11岁、12岁的年纪就去消化这种级别的内容?
"I'm gaining this high level of information at that age, (so) what is my level of insight going to be at 25? Where am I going to take the game then? So, that's the hope."
我在那个年纪就会获取到高质量的信息,那么你想想,我到了25岁后对于比赛的理解该有多么深刻?我那时候的比赛水准会高到怎样的程度?所以,这就是我对这档节目寄予的希望。”科比说道。
