Kobe Bryant, basketball player, was killed in a helicopter crash on January 26th, aged 41
篮球运动员科比·布莱恩特于一月26日在一起直升机事故中逝世，享年41岁。

It began with the orange ball, the smell of it, the feel of the pebbled leather grains and the perfect grooves under his hands;
故事开始于这个橙色的球，它的气味，粗糙的皮革纹理和他手上完美的纹路；

and its bounce, and the way it sounded different on concrete or polished hardwood.
还有它的弹跳，以及它弹在混凝土或抛光硬木上产生的不同声音。

Then came the net, the shot slithering right through it with that triumphant springing whoosh, while he howled with joy.
然后还有篮网，篮球滑过了网，发出了胜利的、跳跃的、嗖的一声，科比则高兴得号啕大叫。

Then every movement of the game, the strategies, the dodging and feints, the squeal of sneakers on the court.
然后是比赛中的每一个动作，战术，躲闪和佯攻，球场上运动鞋的尖叫声。

Whatever had thrilled him as a child (watching his father, also a pro player, on tv,
在科比还是孩子时，任何让他兴奋的事情(看他的父亲，也是职业球员，在电视上，

wearing his own little 76ers outfit, running and jumping along with him) still thrilled him when in 2016 he retired from the game.
穿着自己的小小的76人队的队服，和他一起跑，一起跳），在2016年退役时同样使他兴奋。

"Dear Basketball", he wrote, From the moment I started rolling my Dad's tube socks
“亲爱的篮球”，他写道，从我开始把我爸的筒袜卷成球状，

"My all" meant training obsessively, like a maniac. He would go to the gym and shoot for hours, all day, all night.
“我的一切”指的是像疯子一样痴迷地训练。他会去体育馆打几个小时，整天整夜。

Hundreds of times, not just taking shots, but making them, running steps and patterns, practising shots off the rebound.
成百上千次，不仅仅是投篮，还有投篮，跑动的步伐和模式，在篮下练习投篮。

He would ponder what would make his game unstoppable and then work backwards from there,
他会思考什么会让他的比赛变得不可阻挡，然后从那里开始倒放，
