科比親筆 鋼鐵之心(節選自曼巴精神)

Over the course of 20 seasons, I suffered my fair share of serious injuries. The first thing I always thought about in those situations was, What do i need to do to get back to 100 percent? That was my mindset. I never let fear or doubt seep into my psyche. I never whined and I never complained. I mean, for what?

在20年職業生涯裏，我先後多次遭受重傷。受傷之後，我想到的第一件事從來都是：“我該怎麼做，才能回到百分之百的水平？”這就是我的心態，從不讓任何恐懼或懷疑侵入我的心靈，既不牢騷滿腹，也不怨天尤人。我是說，何必呢？

On the fractures, small breaks, and sprains asked myself a different question: "Will it get worse if I play through it?" If it was going to be painful but not get worse, I'd deal with it 100 percent of the time. That was the only thought process for me.

對於那些骨折、挫傷和扭傷，我會問自己一個不同的問題：“如果我帶傷作戰，情況會更糟嗎？”如果情況不會變得更糟，只不過是繼續疼痛，我每一次都會繼續比賽。那是我唯一的思維模式。

I fought through some injuries-ankles, back, knees,shoulders-that limited me in certain ways. In those instances, I'd spend time during shoot around and early in the game testing out what I could and couldn't do on the court.

有一些部位的傷病讓我在某些方面受到限制，比如腳踝、背部、膝蓋、肩膀。這種情況下，我會在訓練中和比賽開始的那段時間花些時間，測試自己在場上什麼能做，什麼不能。

Once I established my limitations, I'd adjust my game plan accordingly. Occasions like that are reminders why you need to have a well-rounded game, why you need to be able to do everything with both hands, off of either foot, whether you're 30 feet from the basket or in the post.

只要我確定自己的侷限是什麼，就會對比賽計劃做出相應調整。類似這樣的情況會提醒你，爲什麼你需要身手全面、左右手全能、兩隻腳都能作爲中樞腳，不管你是在30英尺（約9．14米）外，還是在禁區之內。

When I was hurt, I was less athletic. It limited some of my burst and explosion. But that's all it did. I was still me,still Kobe.

受傷自然會削弱運動能力，限制一部分爆發力，但僅此而已。我依然是我，依然是科比。
