Growing pains
During his first season with the Lakers, he mostly came off the bench behind guards Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel. Bryant played limited minutes initially but this changed as the season continued. He earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan-favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest. In Bryant's second season (1997-98), he received more playing time and began showing more of his abilities as a talented young guard. He was the runner-up for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award, and through fan voting, he also became the youngest NBA All-Star starter.

1,"What I'm doing right now, I'm chasing perfection." "我现在所做的一切,都是为了追求更加完美." 2,"Love me or hate me, it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I'm loved, for the exact same reasons." 爱我或者恨我,两者必有其一.一直都这样.有人恨我的比赛,我的狂妄自大;恨我的后仰 投篮,我对胜利的渴望;恨我是一名老将,恨我获得过总冠军.恨吧,用你的全部心思 去恨吧.然而也有很多人深爱着我,理由却和恨我的人一样. 3,"I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot." "为了取得比赛的胜利,要我做什么都可以,不管是坐在板凳席上给队友递毛巾,递水,还 是上场执行致胜一投." 4,"As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don't know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be." "我不知道需要多长时间才能取得辉煌,我只是想尽我所能去成为最出色的篮球运动员." 6, "I'm playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition - that's what I've always wanted." "我正在跟伟大的球员进行对抗,跟世界上最好的球员进行对抗.这种对抗是我一直都渴望 着的."
