(Tim Brown, 洛杉磯時報)
Now the Lakers know why Kobe Bryant wouldn't stop hugging Karl Malone and
Derek Fisher after Game 5 Thursday.
If he had let go, he might have fallen down.
Ten minutes after he had clung to Malone on the court, screaming, "Yes! Yes!
Yesssss!" Bryant was hooked to an IV unit and was breathing into a paper bag.
He'd played 45 minutes Tuesday on about three hours' sleep, and played all
but 1 minute 7 seconds of Thursday night's 74-73 victory. And then, Bryant said
Friday, the long days, short nights and emotional turns nearly consumed him. He
also said he expected to be close to full strength by tonight's Game 6, though
coaches and teammates seemed more concerned.
Having sated himself with fluids and gotten some rest, Bryant watched film
Friday, a short day for the Lakers, who flew late Thursday night and early
Friday morning from San Antonio.
"Just tired, man," Bryant said. "Played a lot of minutes. But well worth it.
It's been a tiring week."
