科比 把喬丹曾經教導我的告訴歐文

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant has been a mentor and friend to Boston Celtics All-Star guard Kyrie Irving throughout much of his NBA career, as Irving has consistently gone to Bryant for advice on various issues.

洛杉磯湖人隊的傳奇科比·布萊恩特在他NBA職業生涯的大部分時間裏都是凱爾特人隊全明星後衛凱里·歐文的良師益友，因爲歐文經常向科比請教各種問題。

Irving even FaceTimed Bryant from the locker room after the Cavaliers had defeated the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA title in 2016.

歐文甚至在2016年騎士打敗金州勇士奪得總冠軍之後在更衣室與科比視頻聯繫。

Thus, it's not so surprising that Bryant has some advice for Irving when it comes to his progression and continued development as a player.

因此，歐文在職業球員的進步和持續提升方面，得到來自科比的一些意見建議，就顯得不足爲奇了。

"The next move for (Kyrie) is figuring out how to get the most out of the pieces around him," Bryant said. "That's really hard. And understanding how do you find an emotional connection with each player, figure out what their fears are, and help turn those fears into strengths.

“歐文的下一步是要明白如何最大程度地發揮身邊隊友的作用”科比說，“這很難，要知道怎麼跟身邊的每一位隊友找到情感聯繫，弄明白他們在怕什麼以及把他們的恐懼轉化爲力量”。

And to do that you have to put time in. And I don't mean time in the gym. I mean time listening. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Talking to guys, listening to what they're saying."

“要做到這些的話需要投入時間，不是在訓練館的時間。我指的是傾聽以及一日三餐的時間，要在平時與隊友們交流，聽聽他們在說什麼”。

For Bryant, it took nearly a decade and a half into his Lakers career before he learned to maximize his connection with his teammates.

對科比來說，他花了將近十年半的時間在湖人學會了如何最大程度地與隊友們建立這種聯繫。

"(I learned) after we lost to the Celtics (in 2008). Because Michael (Jordan) told me the same thing. He said, 'Listen, you have all the individual tools. Now you have to figure out how to connect with each one of those guys and bring the best out of those guys. It's not about just passing them the ball and saying that's what makes guys better. That's not it.

“我是在2008年輸給凱爾特人之後才學會這些的。因爲喬丹告訴了我同樣的事情”。他說，“聽着，你擁有了所有的個人武器，現在你需要明白如何與隊友們建立聯繫以及讓他們發揮出最好的狀態。這不僅僅是給他們們傳球，或是直接告訴他們該怎麼做纔會讓他們變得更好，不是這樣的。”

You have to figure out how to touch the right buttons to make them want to be the best versions of themselves. How do you do that? And that was my challenge in '09 and 2010, I was able to figure it out. And that's what Kyrie has to figure out."

“你需要搞清楚如何觸碰那個正確的按鈕讓他們想成爲最好的自己。該怎麼做呢？那就是我在2009-2010賽季遇到的挑戰，我成功地找到了答案，這也正是凱里需要做到的”。

Irving has already had his fair share of success over the course of his NBA career, but it's no secret that he has had trouble connecting with his teammates at times.

歐文已經在他NBA職業生涯過程中學會了如何與隊友無私分享勝利的喜悅，但他時不時地在與隊友建立聯繫方面遇到困難，這也已經不是一個祕密了。

If he is able to apply Bryant's advice to his own approach he could take another step as both a player and a leader.

如果他能夠在成長道路上運用科比的建議，他將會在如何成爲一名更好的球員與領袖方面更上一個臺階。
