When he joined the Lakers, his dream team, in 1996,

He had been picked for the pro leagues straight from his suburban high school

and had lived as a boy in Italy, two things that made him odd.
而且他小时候在意大利生活过，这两件事让他与众不同。

But he came in burning with self-belief. No babying for him; he was hard, focused, a lone artist, and much of that stayed.
但科比进入NBA的时候充满了自信。他已然成熟；他是一个努力、专注、孤独的艺术家，而这一点在他身上得到了延续。

He called himself the Black Mamba later, an assassinsnake, ruthless in the strike.

Unjust foul calls and lost play-off games—especially the finals against the Detroit Pistons
不公正的判罚和输掉的季后赛-特别是总决赛对底特律活塞

and the Boston Celtics—threw him into misery and vows of revenge.

On the court, lithe and nimble, he wanted every game for himself.
在球场上，科比动作轻盈敏捷，想把每一场比赛都据为己有。

Team-mates thought him selfish, not passing enough and shooting far too much,
队友们认为他自私，传球不够，投篮太多，

missing more shots in his career than anyone in NBA history.
在整个职业生涯中，他投丢的球比NBA历史上任何人都要多。

He hit back at that, since at least he stayed with one team and didn't go off somewhere else;
科比对此进行了回击，因为至少他留在了一支球队，没有离开其他球队;

he wanted the glory of winning the play-offs for the purple-and-golds, not just himself.
他想为紫金军团赢得季后赛的荣誉，而不仅仅是为他自己。

Yet he so loved the ball that it just seemed drawn towards his hands.
但他太喜欢球了，以至于球似乎都跑到了他的手中。

And he went on shooting, and shooting, not least because he sometimes saved a game with a fabulous floater in the final seconds.
他不停地投篮，不停地投篮，不仅是因为他有时会在比赛的最后几秒用一个漂亮的飘移投篮挽救比赛。

Besides, airballs too could look and feel good, good from trajectory to follow-through, on-line, on target.
此外，空气球也可以看起来和感觉良好，良好的轨迹，持续的投篮动作，球没有偏离篮筐。

Some people thought Mozart had too many notes.

As in most love affairs, he had competition.
和大多数恋爱一样，他也有竞争对手。

One was Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of the era,

他是山顶上的佛，赢得了六次总冠军，

whom he once asked for advice while he was guarding him.
科比曾经在防守他的时候向他寻求建议。
