2004年6月16日,随着一声哨响,一切都结束了。总冠军奖杯就在他们的眼前,那样的真切,就像两年前一样那么唾手可得,但是这次它并不属于他们。马龙第三次在场地上看着自己的对手捧杯,而科比则在自己职业生涯里第一次体会到了最后时刻功亏一篑的痛苦。但和去年不同,这一次,洛杉矶没有眼泪,队员们都只是默默地走回休息室,没有留下任何的豪言壮语,似乎这样的失利对于每个人都是一种解脱。 June 16, 2004, with a whistle, everything is over. The championship trophy is right in front of them, that kind of real, just as easy as two years ago, but this time it does not belong to them. Malone looked at his opponent for the third time holding a trophy on the court, and Kobe Bryant, for the first time in his career, experienced the last minute painful loss. But unlike last year, Los Angeles this time there is no tears, the team members just walked silently back to the room, without leaving any rhetoric, it seems that such a defeat for everyone is a relief.
