Kobe Bryant said he doesn't think too much about the 2004 Finals loss to the Detroit Pistons anymore, not unless someone brings it up. He has let it go.
湖人队当家球星科比·布莱恩特近日表示，他现在已经很少再去想2004年总决赛负于活塞队的事情了，除非有人提起来。对于那场失利，科比已经释怀了。
But that series is now a topic of conversation, with Sunday marking his final game against the Pistons in Auburn Hills. On Saturday, Bryant, in his 20th season with the Lakers, reflected on that series with his usual bluntness.
然而随着湖人队明天将在奥本山挑战活塞，11年前的那轮总决赛再度成为了一个讨论的话题。科比，在他在湖人的第20个赛季，再一次回顾了那轮系列赛。

"They were a better team," Bryant said after practice here. "They executed extremely well. They pressured us, and we weren't ready to go deeper into our offense and into our automatics. The stuff that wins us championships is being able to go into our automatics. We just weren't prepared to do it. They kicked our ass."
“他们（2004年的活塞）是一支更好的球队。”科比训练后表示，“他们的战术执行得很好，他们对我们进行施压，而我们没有做好把进攻打得更细致以及打出配合的准备。我们之前夺得总冠军是因为能够打出配合。但是在那轮系列赛，我们没有准备好去那么做。他们狠狠地踢了我们的屁股。”
With Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and veteran stars Gary Payton and Karl Malone, the talent-heavy Lakers were heavy favorites, but the Pistons won the series, 4-1. Talent only goes so far, Bryant said.
那年的湖人拥有科比，奥尼尔，老而弥坚的球星加里·佩顿和卡尔·马龙。这支充满天赋的球队也是夺冠大热门，然而最终活塞队以4比1的比分赢下了系列赛。科比对此表示，天赋只能把他们带到这个程度了。
Winning a sixth championship to tie his idol, Michael Jordan, as well as possibly a seventh title to surpass Jordan, had long been a goal for Bryant. But Bryant said he's at peace with having five rings.
像他的偶像乔丹一样，赢下六个总冠军头衔，或者，甚至是拿下七个总冠军从而超越乔丹，是科比一直以来的目标。但是，科比表示，拥有5枚总冠军戒指，他已经可以平静地接受了。
"Listen, I worked as hard as I possibly could," Bryant said. "I did everything I could. I'm fine with that. When I started playing basketball, I knew I didn't want to have any regrets. I wanted to push as hard as I can, as much as I can. I've done that. So I'm completely fine with that."
“听着，我已经尽自己最大努力地训练和打球了。”他说道，“我做了自己所能做的一切。所以我能够接受。当我开始打篮球时，我知道我不想留下任何的遗憾。我希望尽最大可能地去激励自己。我已经做到了，所以我完全可以接受这个结果。”
