Kobe Bryant: Chris Paul Would Have Been Perfect Fit For Lakers



After the Los Angeles Lakers agreed to trade for Chris Paul in 2011, he and
Kobe Bryant had a phone call that lasted about 20-30 minutes.


回顧2011年當時湖人透過交易獲得 Chris Paul 短暫的瞬間，他跟 Kobe Bryant 通了大概
20-30分鐘的電話


"You know me. My dream isn't to win games," Bryant recalled to ESPN this week.
"It's like, 'How many of these titles are we going to win [together]?' Because
if we don't win, we're a failure."


當 Kobe 與ESPN訪談中回憶:「你也知道我這個人，我當時想的不只是贏球而已，比較像是
"我們到底會拿多少戒指啊?"的這種感覺，因為如果我們組隊都拿不到，那等於失敗。」


"It was crazy," Paul told ESPN this week. "It was exciting. We talked about
potentially being teammates and all that stuff like that. Then, in the blink of
an eye, gone."

Chris Paul:「真的很難想像，當時真的好興奮，我們談很多像是會同隊一起打球的隊友啊
之類的，但就這麼一眨眼，就沒了。」


The NBA vetoed the trade and Paul was ultimately traded to the Los Angeles
Clippers.


當時NBA官方直接否決了這次交易，而輾轉讓Chris Paul變成保羅船長，前往洛杉磯快艇隊


Bryant and Paul would have to share the ball in the Lakers' backcourt.


Bryant和Paul本來可以變成湖人後場搭擋。


"It worked for the Olympic team and stuff like that," Paul said. "I played in a
lot of All-Star Games with Kobe. I don't know how many, but I remember one of
them, we said, 'As long as we're both on the same team playing this game, we're
not going to lose,' just because we both know how competitive we are."





"When we played together in every All-Star Game, we never f---- around," Bryant
said. "It was like, 'Listen, the guys have their fun, but now let's do what we
do.' I knew how competitive he was, and I knew it would be a perfect fit. We
just kind of talked about what we're going to do, how we're going to scheme to
get things done. Unfortunately, it never happened."


Kobe:「當我們在明星賽一起打球的時候，我們他媽根本沒在玩，反而像是"聽好，讓他們
自high，但我們打我們該打的"，我也知道 Chris 有多硬，所以我覺得我們根本天造地設。
我們當時大概聊了一下我們會怎麼做，應該怎麼計畫把事情搞定，但最終，夢就醒了。」


The trade is one of the biggest what-ifs of NBA history.


這筆交易，最後成為NBA歷史上最令人扼腕的一次。


"Things would've been very, very, very different around here," Bryant said,
"with two of the most competitive people the league has ever seen."


Kobe:「這交易如果成了，兩個前無古人般強硬的隊友一起組隊，後面的發展就會非常、非
常、非常的不一樣了。」

心得:明星賽...真的是組隊相親場合嗎
