剛剛 Gordon Hayward 也回憶了這場比賽

It has also come to my attention that there is a story going
around tonight about an intentional lane violation that I
took to ensure Kobe would get his 60th point in his final
game and many are applauding me for the gesture. The fact
of the matter is that is not true.
那些說我故意違例,讓 Kobe 有機會靠罰球拿60分的故事都是假新聞。
That was a night that I will truly never forget as I can
remember almost every moment of it and my goal that night
was to compete as hard as I possibly could against Kobe
because that is what he was all about and I wanted to
give him my very best.
我永遠忘不了那晚所有 play,Kobe 總是很認真的面對每場比賽。
那場我也拿出最認真的態度面對他。
He got 60 on me and I didn't give him anything free all
night. What happened on the free throw line was not intentional.
Kobe would have lost respect for me if I gave him something
free. That’s what made him so very special!
最後還是讓他在沒放水時拿了60分。
要是我真的故意犯規的話,Kobe 從此一定不會尊重我。
我想這就是他如此特別的原因。
