On the "Straight Game" podcast, Shaq reflected on what went wrong that season. "You know you have to be together to win a championship," he said. "That was the year. I'll let you figure out what that means. But that was the year when a lot of stuff was going on, and we weren't really together. So he [Kobe Bryant] did the right thing, when we lost, he said, 'Hey, we have to get rid of Shaq. Or I'm not coming back.' So they chose a younger guy, and then I was traded a couple of days later." While much has been said about that season, the inside details have always been murky. Years later, Phil Jackson wrote in his book "The Last Season" about Kobe's relentless desire to take over, often breaking away from the system to play hero-ball, which disrupted team chemistry. That dysfunction, more than anything, doomed the Lakers. 在《Straight Game》Podcast節目上，Shaq回顧了那一季出了什麼問題。 「你知道要贏得總冠軍大家必須團結一致，但那一年，我就讓你自己去理解這句話的意思 。那年發生了很多事情，我們其實並不團結所以當我們輸球後，他做了他認為正確的決定 ，他說：『嘿，我們必須把Shaq送走，不然我就不回來了。』所以他們選擇了一個更年輕 的傢伙，然後幾天後我就被交易了。」 雖然關於那個賽季的討論很多，但內部細節始終模糊不清。多年後Phil Jackson在他的書 《The Last Season》中寫道，Kobe不斷渴望接管球隊經常脫離體系去打英雄球，破壞了球 隊的化學反應，這種內部失衡勝過其他任何因素，最終註定了湖人的失敗。 "And if you look up at our relationship, it's the classic tale of The Godfather," he said. "You got the Godfather that came from Orlando, and he's the Godfather. But you have a young capo. And finally [shows gun signals with his hands]. He's Michael [Corleone], I'm the Godfather, 'cuz remember when I came to L.A., I was already established." "I was the biggest thing in the league. So he's there and he f—in' wants it. We win three, we do a lot of deals, and then finally I get assassinated. They thought I was dead, and I relocated to Miami, and then I got to get it back. It's business," he added. Kobe's obsession with stepping into Michael Jordan's shoes ultimately hurt the Lakers. Shaq, admittedly more laid-back at the time, was still dominant and productive. As long as he remained the number one option, he didn't see an issue. Blame can be placed on both sides, but many believe Bryant's determination to prove himself was the decisive factor. The bitter truth is that if the two superstars had found a way to coexist, the Lakers might have won several more championships together. 「如果你回顧我們的關係那就像《教父》中的經典故事，你有一個從奧蘭多來的教父，但 你也有個年輕的幹部，最後──（他用手比出開槍的手勢），他是Michael Corleone而我 是教父，別忘了當我來到洛杉磯時我就已經是個家喻戶曉的大人物了。」 「當時我是整個聯盟最具統治力的存在，他媽的他非常想要得到它。我們聯手拿了三個冠 軍完成無數輝煌成就，然後我就被暗殺了。他們以為我完了，但我搬到邁阿密然後我要重 新奪回一切，這就是生意。」 Kobe想要接班Michael Jordan的執念最終傷害了湖人，當時仍保持巔峰統治力的Shaq則態 度更為隨性，只要他仍是球隊的第一選擇便認為無需改變。 責任雙方都有但許多人認為Kobe渴望證明自己的決心才是關鍵性的因素，殘酷的事實是如 果這兩位超級巨星能找到共存之道，湖人或許能再贏下好幾座總冠軍。 來源:https://reurl.cc/kokjL3 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.116.209 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1756905944.A.A26.html
