AS IT IS 2016-04-15 Trending Today: Kobe Bryant’s Final NBA Game 科比职业生涯最后一战

This is What’s Trending Today.

这里是《正在发生》节目。

The regular National Basketball Association1, or NBA, season ended on Wednesday night with two memorable2 games.

美国职业篮球联赛（NBA）常规赛季于周三晚间以两场值得纪念的比赛宣告结束。

In one, the Golden State Warriors3 from Oakland, California won their 73rd game of the season, setting4 an NBA record for wins in a season.

其中一场是来自加州奥克兰的金州勇士队在一个赛季中获胜73场，创下了NBA比赛中一赛季内获胜次数最多的纪录。

Also on Wednesday, Kobe Bryant played his final game for the Los Angeles Lakers. He scored 60 points and helped Los Angeles defeat the Utah Jazz.

同样在周三，科比·布莱恩特参加了他在洛杉矶湖人队的最后一场比赛。他一人独得60分，帮助洛杉矶湖人队战胜了犹他爵士队。

Bryant played 20 years for the Lakers. During that time, the team won five NBA championships.

布莱恩特已经为湖人队效力20年。在这段时间里，该队赢得了五次NBA总冠军。

Earlier this season, Bryant said this year would be his last. He finished his playing career with over 33,000 points. That makes him third on the all-time scoring list.

本赛季早些时候，布莱恩特曾说这将是他职业生涯的最后一年。整个职业生涯中他得了超过33000分。在得分榜上他排名第三位。

This season was a largely5 ceremonial one for Bryant as he said goodbye to NBA fans from coast to coast. Every game he played away from Los Angeles had a large crowd. Many people wanted to see him play one last time.

这个赛季是布莱恩特对全国各地NBA球迷道别的一场盛大仪式。他不在洛杉矶打的每一场比赛都有非常多的观众。很多人都想看他打最后一场比赛。

Wednesday night, he played his last Lakers’ game. A lot of famous players and people came to the Staples6 Center in Los Angeles to watch.

周三晚上，他打了在湖人队的最后一场比赛。很多著名运动员和明星都来到洛杉矶斯台普斯中心观赛。

Fans even signed a big goodbye message for him at the sports center.

球迷们甚至在体育场中心拉起了巨大的告别横幅。

But many people did not know what to expect in Bryant’s last game. In recent years, he missed a lot of games because of injuries.

但是很多人都不知道对布莱恩特的最后一场比赛应该有什么期待。近年来，他因为伤病错过了很多场比赛。

This season, the Lakers were not a good team. They only won 17 of 82 games. But Bryant saved a truly amazing performance for last. He scored 60 points, including the shot that gave his team the lead late in the game. Los Angeles defeated Utah, 101 to 96.

湖人队本赛季的表现并不好。82场比赛中他们只赢了17场。但是布莱恩特最后一场比赛的表现却精彩绝伦。他一个人得了60分，包括比赛最后让湖人队领先的几分。最终洛杉矶湖人队以101比96战胜了犹他爵士队。

After the game, Bryant said “I can’t believe this happened, this is crazy to me, What? There is no way I could possibly imagine this happening.”

赛后，布莱恩特说“我不相信这居然能发生，这简直太疯狂了！什么？我说什么也想不到这会发生啊。”

Lots of people watched the television broadcast of the game, making Bryant one of the top trending topics overnight7 on Twitter. But since the game was played in California, many people on the East Coast missed it and woke up to see the news on Thursday morning.

很多人通过电视转播观看了比赛，这让布莱恩特成为当晚推特上的热门话题。但因为比赛是在加州打的，很多东海岸的居民没有看比赛，周四一早才看到新闻。

Also Wednesday night, Steph Curry8 and the Golden State Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies9, 125-104.

周三晚上还有一场比赛，斯蒂芬·库里带领金州勇士队以125比104击败了孟菲斯灰熊队。

By doing so, Golden State set a record for wins in a season. They broke the record of 72 wins set by Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls10 20 years ago.

这次获胜使金州勇士队创下了赛季中获胜次数最多的纪录。他们打破了迈克尔·乔丹和芝加哥公牛队在20年前创下的纪录——单赛季中获胜72场。

Steph Curry scored 46 points in the game Wednesday night. He made 10 three-point shots to reach 402 for the season. In basketball, most shots are worth two points. But you get an extra point if you shoot it from 6.7 or more meters away from the basketball hoop11.

斯蒂芬·库里在周三晚上的比赛中得了46分。他投了10个三分球，这样本赛季的总得分就达到了402分。在篮球比赛中，大多数进球都记两分。但如果在篮筐以外6.7米或者更远的地方投进球，就可以得到三分。

Steve Kerr is the coach of the Warriors. He was a player on that Chicago Bulls team. “I’d never in a million years would have guessed that that record would ever be broken,” he said.

斯蒂夫·科尔是金州勇士队的教练。他之前效力于芝加哥公牛队。他说，“我再没想到这个纪录居然会被打破！”

The website 538.com says Curry is so good that he is leading a “revolution” in the NBA and changing some of the ideas about how the game is supposed to be played.

538.com网站说库里出色地领导了一场NBA“革命”，改变了一些“比赛应该怎么打”的观点。

But wait. If you liked Wednesday, the exciting night was just the beginning. There are more games coming soon. The NBA playoffs start Saturday. They continue until a team wins the championship sometime in June.

但是等等。如果你喜欢周三的比赛，那个激动人心的夜晚只是个开始。很快就会有更多的比赛。NBA季后赛本周六就要开始了。季后赛将会一直持续到某一支球队在六月份夺得总冠军。
