NBA》大家都看好湖人過關 灰狼Edwards：「我愛這種場面」
洛杉磯湖人隊和明尼蘇達灰狼隊即將在NBA 2025季後賽首輪正面對決，絕大部分外媒專家和網路輿論都看好湖人能過關，對此，灰狼隊球星愛德華茲(Anthony Edwards)似乎一點都不在意。 愛德華茲說道：「我很喜歡，這很屌。我很愛大家都想要湖人獲勝，本該就是如此，他們都不想灰狼贏，我知道了。」 Anthony Edwards on if he likes the national media picking the Lakers to winYea(smiling) I just love it, it's dope. I love the fact that everybody wants the lakers to win. That's how it's supposed to be, they don't want the Timberwolves to win. I get it' — Andrew Dukowitz (@adukeMN) April 16, 2025 灰狼隊去年殺進分區決賽，不過休季期間交易掉核心人物陶恩斯(Karl-Anthony Towns)，讓他們在今年例行賽有點步履蹣跚，最終僅名列第6種子。年僅23歲的愛德華茲，則是在今年賽季迎來外線火力的爆發，例行賽投進聯盟最多的三分球，平均外線命中率也來到個人生涯新高的3成95，他的火力發揮狀況無疑是灰狼季後賽的一大指標。 湖人隊在交易大限前驚喜獲得唐契奇(Luka Doncic)，即便他們還在不斷磨合階段，同時擁有唐契奇和詹姆士(LeBron James)這兩大核心下，讓湖人隊的爭冠呼聲迅速看漲，而灰狼隊去年在分區決賽就是敗給唐契奇領軍的達拉斯獨行俠隊。 這個系列賽剛好也是美國隊去年奧運金牌陣容的老少對決，對於即將和詹姆士同場競技，愛德華茲也表達高度期盼，他說道：「和詹姆士對決充滿很多意義，他很可能是籃球史上最偉大的球員，想要在季後賽淘汰他肯定是非常困難的，但這過程絕對會很有趣。」 根據相關外電消息指出，湖人隊近期在備戰首輪時確實將愛德華茲視為頭號封阻對象，在模擬訓練中，陸續讓體型相近的米爾頓(Shake Milton)和布朗尼(Bronny James)扮演愛德華茲的角色，希望能藉此找到致勝契機。 The Lakers used Bronny James and Shake Milton as Anthony Edwards for their scout team at practice today 👀(via @jovanbuha) — Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) April 16, 2025

Vanessa Bryant announces Kobe and Gianna mural book right before 5-year anniversary of helicopter crash
When New York street artist Andaluz finished his Costa Mesa mural honoring Kobe Bryant, his daughter, Gianna, and seven others who lost their lives in a Jan. 26, 2020, helicopter crash, he dedicated it to a state that was still mourning the loss of one of its icons. 'I truly hope this piece brings some comfort to all of those that were affected by this tragedy,' Andaluz wrote in an Instagram post Feb. 24, 2020, upon finishing the project, adding 'This one is for you Cali. From New York with love.' Five years later, Andaluz's loving depiction of Kobe and Gigi in that mural is going worldwide. That portrait of a stoic Bryant with his daughter resting her head on top of his is being used as the cover art for the upcoming book 'Mamba & Mambacita Forever.' The book — written by Bryant's wife and Gianna's mother Vanessa Bryant and photographed by longtime Bryant and NBA photographer Andrew Bernstein — will feature images and stories of more than 100 murals around the globe honoring the beloved father and daughter. 'Wow my mural made the cover of the Kobe & Gigi mural book Vanessa Bryant is putting out,' Andaluz wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, the same day Vanessa made the book's announcement and four days before the five-year anniversary of the crash in Calabasas. 'I'm truly appreciative to the Bryant family, @kobemural , @lakers organization and all of my supporters. Truly blessed. Praise God because he is the hearer of prayers.' The book is slated to be released Aug. 19, days before what would have been Bryant's 47th birthday (Aug. 23) and what has become known as Mamba Day (Aug. 24 because of Bryant's two jersey numbers 8 and 24). It will be published by MCD Books, which also published Bryant's 'The Mamba Mentality: How I Play' in 2018. ''Mamba & Mambacita Forever' ensures that the murals of Kobe and Gianna Bryant will live on even after the most monumental murals themselves have all crumbled,' the publisher wrote Wednesday on Instagram.
