The road to a superstar
明星之路
Kobe Bryant was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The reason he has the name Kobe is unusual. His parents named him after a type of steak1 (kobe) seen on a restaurant menu before his birth. It seems that Kobe likes this name.
As a schoolboy, he learned the ABC2 of basketball in Italy. His father, Joe Bryant, was a former NBA forward. Kobe developed his basketball skills under the watchful eye of his father, helping his mission3 to become a professional basketball player. Kobe worked daily on his game, watching video4, playing in the playgrounds and listening to his father. Kobe made such rapid progress that when he was about 14 or 15 years old, he could finally beat his father one-to-one.
Kobe entered high school at Lower Marion in Philadelphia. He played on the school basketball team. His team went from worst to first, to a state championship during his four years at Lower Marion. He was named High School Player of the Year as a senior5 at Lower Marion.
It so happened that one of his schoolmates was Coach Luca's6 daughter. She casually7 mentioned to her dad that he ought to see Kobe play. And he did, and afterward Luca allowed Kobe to work out8 with the 76ers9. This was a great step forward toward his career as a professional10 basketball player.
He went on to finish his high school career as the all-time11 leading point scorer in Pennsylvania history with a total of 2,883 points. Kobe decided not to attend college and take his game straight to 'the league'12. The Charlotte Hornets13 drafted14 Bryant at number 13 during the 1996 draft15, but traded him to the Lakers on that same day.
Since his arrival in the NBA, Kobe has set about16 improving each year. Each season has been a learning and growth opportunity.
Despite his youth and lack of college experience, Kobe Bryant is one of the NBA's biggest talents17. At 19 years, 5 months, he became the youngest All-Star in history, replacing Magic Johnson18, who was 20 years, 5 months old when he played in the 1980 game. He was the only Laker to start all 50 games in 1998—99 and averaged19 19.9 ppg20, second on the team. He led the club in steals21 and was among the top three in rebounds22, assists23 and blocked shots24 as well. He helped the Los Angeles Lakers win the 2000 and 2001 NBA Championships25.
科比·布莱恩特出生在宾夕法尼亚州的费城。他的名字有特别的来由，原来他的父母在他出身之前看到一家餐馆的菜单上有一种叫做科比的牛排，于是就给他取名科比。科比似乎喜欢这个名字。
还是个小学生的时候，科比就在意大利学习打篮球的基本技能。他的父亲乔·布莱恩特曾在NBA打前锋。在父亲的关照下，科比练就了打篮球的技巧，这为他日后成为职业篮球球员打下了基础。他又是看录像、又是在操场上练习、又是向父亲请教，每天如此。科比进步很快，在他十四五岁的时候，他可以一对一地击败他的父亲了。
科比的高中是在费城的下麦里恩上的，他参加了校篮球队。在他上高中的4年当中，他的球队从倒数第一名上升到第一名，夺得了州冠军。高中四年级的时候，他还被评为该年度最佳高中球员。
碰巧他的一个同学是76人队教练卢卡的女儿，她无意中向父亲提出他应该去看看科比打球。卢卡真的去了，随后卢卡同意科比参加76人队的训练活动。这是科比向职业球员生涯迈出的重要的一步。
他以2883分的宾州有史以来最高得分的惊人纪录从高中毕业，科比决定不上大学，直接进入NBA联赛。在1996年的NBA选秀中，夏洛特黄蜂队以第13名的顺序选中了科比，就在同一天，夏洛特黄蜂队将他换给了洛杉矶湖人队。
进入NBA以后，科比的球技逐年见长。对他来说，每一赛季都是一个学习和成长的机会。
尽管年轻、又没有上过大学，但是科比·布莱恩特是NBA中最伟大的天才。19岁零5个月的时候，他取代魔术师约翰逊成为最年轻的全明星队成员，约翰逊1980年取得这一殊荣时是20岁零5个月。他是惟一的在1998—99赛季以首发阵容参加所有的50场比赛的湖人队队员，平均每场得19.9分，在队中排第二。他在俱乐部中，断球数第一，篮板球、助攻、盖帽也排在前三名。他帮助湖人队赢得了2000年和2001年NBA总决赛冠军。

Dear students :
Hello everyone !
Black Mamba is a deadly poisonous snakes have , why do I get this name? Because once I entered the stadium , I was deadly , like the black mamba same. So the next scene , I can joke , but once I entered the stadium , I'll be like a new person , like , engrossed on the pitch.
I am now 35 years old, went to be the second half of his career, like some of the injured are also commonplace. Once injured , you think the world stopped, regardless of knee injuries, shoulder injuries , and so on . I know a lot of people have ruined the whole career , and some people even depressed , can not even return to the stadium. When that moment happened, I would look at himself in the mirror , "said Bryant , what would you ? If you experience such pain you what will happen ? " You know, every time I see someone hurt, I saw a lot of people come back after the injury , I looked at himself in the mirror muttering , "is not it quit ? should not stop playing it?" I do not know yet whether the return game. I sit here and tell you now , I want a full recovery back on the court . But I can not promise , because a lot of the time I still have some doubts , but I think , this is to meet the challenges of significance .
To seize every opportunity to prove yourself to everyone , to prove that you can meet the challenge. To those who say you can never succeed , you will fail to prove , and this is my opinion. If someone says you are the injured , to slump , and for me, if someone suffered this injury might quit , but Kobe can not do this . Others say it under your die, I would say that you so that you may quit . So I have to prove it to them , especially to my fans who support me , love , I have to win their own , to win the pain , can return to the game . So as to allow those who doubt me rethink what is the impossible becomes possible. The importance of these scars is reflected in here , these scars are my shift reflects growing .
As a player, I was born with a passion to succeed , you want to win. But also the most important thing in life the hardest thing . As a player , you want to go to the stadium to meet the biggest challenge , I think the biggest challenge is to bring people into the team like a man as to constantly , constantly win, this is the biggest challenge the team of athletic competition , this is exactly my passion . For me personally, the most important thing is to continue to meet the challenge, and never afraid of challenges is extremely important.
But more important to maintain a constant curiosity of things , such as how to play better , how to improve the skills , how what is learned from others . In fact, I grew up to now has been looking for factors that inspire me from all aspects , not just from the body of Michael Jordan , Earvin Magic Johnson from the body, but also from Michael Jackson , Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, Bruce Lee's body, these who gave me great motivation, let me forward, so this is the spirit of the black mamba . Not that you have to constantly attack others , but to never stop you from moving forward . Life is a life-long learning , so it is extremely important to keep learning . You have to keep learning , study and study again , and talk to people , to understand , to learn, and not feel that you know everything . The only way you can become a better person , in order to further improve your skills . Finally, there will be a by-product , to become a champion , become better yourself. For me, this is the spirit of the black mamba , my source of spiritual lies. So if I am able to pass this spirit to all of you , whatever you want to do, to become a basketball player , a writer or a presenter, no matter what your dream is , you must adhere to the dream of success from the front people who learn from the experience and knowledge to the success of all walks of life , some of them have in common makes them stand out, be successful, this is what I want to convey to you today positive energy .
