K: Everything was done to try to learn how to become a better basketball player. Everything. Everything. And so when you have that point of view, then literally the world becomes your library to help you to become better at your craft. So, because you know what you want the world's giving you exactly the information 100 percent, because you know what you're looking for.

科比：我做的每一件事，目的都是让我成为一个更优秀的篮球运动员。每件事都如此。如果你是这样想的，那么，事实上，整个世界都会帮助你变得更优秀。所以，因为你知道你想要什么，这个世界就会给你所有相关信息，因为你知道自己的目标。

H: So many guys tell stories about your work ethic.

主持人：很多人在谈论你的职业精神。

K: Yeah.

科比：是的。

H: What was really your work ethic like, and for how long did you stay disciplined?

主持人：你的职业精神是什么样的，你能保持多长时间的自律?

K: Well, I mean I mean every day. I mean, since 20 years. It was an everyday process. And trying to figure out strengths and weaknesses. For example, jumping ability. Man, my vertical was a 40. It wasn't a 46 or 45. My hands are big, but they're not massive, right? So you got to figure out ways to strengthen them, so your hands are strong enough to be able to palm a ball and do the things that you need to do. Quickness. I was quick but not insanely quick. I was fast but not ridiculously fast right, right?

科比：我认为，每天我都能做到，已经坚持20年了。这是我每天的日常。我尝试找到自己的优缺点。比如，弹跳力。我的弹跳力只有40，不是46或者45。我的手掌挺大的，但是它们还不够大。所以我要想办法增强这些方面，这样我的手才能足够有力，才能抓住球，才能做其它我需要做的事情。速度方面，我的速度很快，但速度还不够惊人。我很敏捷，但是还不算极端敏捷。

So I had to rely on with skill a lot more. I had to rely on angles a lot more. I had to study the game a lot more. And but I enjoyed that though. So like from the time I was, I can't remember when I started watching the game, I studied the game and it just never changed. It's a good separation for me, you know, emotionally to be able to put myself in a place where at practice or when I'm training or during games, I switched my mind to something else. I switched my mode into something else, right?

所以，我更需要依赖技巧，依赖找准角度。我必须花更多精力去研究比赛。但是，其实我挺享受这个过程的。我已经不记得是从什么时候开始研究比赛的了，但这已经成为了习惯。这对于我来说也是一件好事，让我能够全身心投入在训练中和比赛中，同时也可以灵活地处理其他事，把自己调整到另一个状态。

For me, it's the equivalent of Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator picking up the dirt, smelling the dirt. It's go time, right? So that was my mental switch. I was like an actor getting ready for a film. You got to put yourself in that cage. When you're in that cage, you are that character. And then when you leave, there is something completely different. When I'm in that cage, bro, don't touch me. Don't talk to me. Leave me alone.

对于我来说，这就像古罗马战士马克西姆斯在战场上拾起一把尘土，仔细闻它，然后接下来马上就要开始行动了，对吧?这就是我在精神状态上的转换。我就像一个准备好拍电影的演员，我要让自己全身心置身于那个情景，在这时，我就是要扮演的角色本身。完工离开的时候，我的状态又和此前完全不同了。朋友，当我在那个情景中的时候，不要碰我，不要跟我讲话，让我自己一个人待着。

H: How did you get mentally and emotionally so strong where it doesn't bother you?

主持人：你如何做到意志如此坚强，到达了没有什么能够打扰你的地步?

K: Well, you know, it's you got to look at the reality of the situation. You know, like, for me it's not, you know, you kind of got to get over yourself. It's not about you, man. Like, okay, you feel embarrassed. You're not that important. Right? Get over yourself. Yeah. That's where you go. Get over yourself. Right? Like you're worried about how people may perceive you. And like you're walking around and it's embarrassing, because you shot five air balls. Get over yourself. Right?

科比：你懂的，道理就是，你要面对事实。你必须放下自我，这个世界不是绕着你转的。有时候你会感到尴尬，但是你并没有那么重要。不要把自己看的太重，这是你要走的第一步。不要把自己看得太重。你会担心人们可能对你有看法。一旦你你会觉走到哪里都很不自在，因为你投了五个空气球。但是，你还是不要太在乎自己。明白吗?

And then after that, it's okay. Well, why did those air balls happen? Got it. High school year before we play 35 games, max. Right? Week in between, spaced out. Plenty of time to rest. And the NBA is back to back to back to back to back to back to back. I didn't have the legs. So you look at the shot. Every shot was online. Every shot was online. But every shot was short. Right? I got to get stronger. I got to train differently. The way training program that I'm doing, I gotta tailor it for an 82-game season, so that when the playoffs come around, my legs are stronger and that ball gets there. So I look at it with rationale. Say, okay, well, the reason why I shot air balls because my legs aren't there. I know I'll make sure they'll be there. That was it.

你能做到这点，就可以了。为什么你投了空气球?明白了吧。在高中的时候，我们训练量最多也就是35场，隔周训练一次，有大把时间休息。但是，NBA比赛是紧锣密鼓地进行的。我的腿没有那么强大。你看看我投的这些球，每次投球都触线了，每次都如此。但是，每次投球都不够远，对吧?我必须变得更加强大，我要换种方式训练。我要改变现在的训练模式，这是为了适应有82场比赛的赛季，这样，当比赛开始的时候，我的腿才足够强壮，我才能精准投球。所以，我用理性的态度来看待这个情况，我投了那么多空气球，是因为我的腿还不够强壮。我知道，我要努力让它们变得足够强壮，这就是我要做的事情。

H: Done.

主持人：完美。

K: Done.

科比：完美。
