小编导读：北京时间4月14日，湖人在主场101-96战胜爵士。这是科比的生涯告别之战。这一天已经被命名为“曼巴日”，洛杉矶的地铁站也改名为“科比战”。

　　81分。37岁。20赛季。5个总冠军。一生湖人……

　　#ThankYouKobe#

　　我们再回顾一下科比宣布退役的视频，以及那首感动万千的《Dear Basketball》

　　加嫂加索尔写给科比的这封告别信，让多少球迷都泪目了……让我们来读一读这篇千字长文，感受一下好基友的依依不舍之情。

　　注：为啥是加嫂?1，英文发音的谐音“噶扫”2，解说曾说他与科比有着夫妻般的默契。

　　My first day with the Lakers, I met the team at The Ritz in Washington, D.C., and at 1:30 in the morning there was a knock on my door. I found out later that Kobe doesn’t sleep much. I sat on the bed, I think, and he sat on the table next to the TV. He welcomed me to the team, and then he told me it was “go” time. It was winning time. He felt I could take him to the top again, and he wanted to make sure I knew that. “This is our chance,” he said. It was powerful and meaningful. We were a perfect fit. A lot of the triangle offense is based on reads and working off one another and understanding each other. I understood the game. I was meticulous about it. I think he appreciated that. I think he saw it as refreshing. Our relationship clicked from the beginning. We both knew we needed each other to succeed.

　　我加入湖人队的第一天，我是在华盛顿与球队会合，那是凌晨1点半，结果有人敲我的房门。我后来发现科比的睡眠时间并不多。我当时坐在床上，他坐在电视机旁的桌子上。他欢迎我加入球队，然后他告诉我是时候加油了。那是赢球时间。他感觉我可以带他重返巅峰，而且他希望确保我知道这点。“这是我们的机会。”他当时说道。这是非常有力量和有意义的话。 我们是一对完美的组合。 三角进攻里面的许多东西都是建立在阅读、互相配合和互相理解。我理解比赛，我非常严谨，我认为他欣赏我这点。我认为他看到了焕然一新的面貌。我们的关系从一开始就很融洽。我们都知道我们需要对方来取得成功。

　　There are so many games in the NBA, it’s easy to start going through the motions. He kept everybody on edge. In practice he challenged people. He talked trash to people. It wasn’t for everybody. Some players can’t deal with that, but I didn’t mind. It was his way of motivating you and pushing you to give more. It’s easy to get comfortable. He made sure nobody was comfortable. After we lost Game 6 to the Celtics in the 2008 Finals, we didn’t talk about it much. That was a time to digest what had happened, why we fell short and let that fire start burning in our bodies and our stomachs. We went into the next season with a different attitude—a stronger, more aggressive, more determined approach. I think that’s why we won the next two titles.

　　NBA的比赛很多，所以很容易会出现松懈。但是他让每个人都保持警醒。训练中，他会挑战别人。他会向别人喷垃圾话。这并不适用于所有人。有些球员无法应付，但是我不介意。这是他激励你的方式，并迫使你付出更多。让每个人感到舒服很容易，但是他确保没有人感到安逸。 当我们输掉2008年与凯尔特人的总决赛第6场之后，我们并没有谈论它很多。那是一个消化这个结果的时候，我们为什么输球，并让那股火焰在我们的体内燃烧。进入下赛季的时候，我们的态度变得不同——更加强大、更有侵略性以及更有决心。我认为这是我们随后完成两连冠的原因。
