Kobe Bryant statue with Gianna to be unveiled on 8/2/24. But you will have to wait to see it
科比和吉安娜的雕像将于2024年8月
2日揭幕，但还得过一阵才能看到
The second of three statues honoring late Lakers great Kobe Bryant outside Crypto.com Arena will be unveiled Friday in a private ceremony, a person with knowledge of the event but not authorized to discuss it publicly has confirmed to The Times.
一位知情人士向《泰晤士报》证实，加密网竞技场外有三座雕像纪念已故湖人队球星科比·布莱恩特，其中第二座将于周五在私人仪式上揭幕。
The statue will pay tribute to Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, both of whom were among the nine people who died in a Jan. 26, 2020, helicopter crash in Calabasas.
这座雕像将向布莱恩特和他的女儿吉安娜致敬，2020年1月26日在卡拉巴萨斯直升机坠毁事件中共9人遇难，他们便在其中。
It is not known when the statue will be able to be viewed by the public.
公众何时能看到这座雕像还不得而知。
The date of the unveiling-8/2/24-is significant because it involves the No. 8 and No. 24 jersey numbers Bryant wore with the Lakers as well as the No. 2 jersey number Gianna wore as a player for Bryant’s Mamba Academy.
揭幕仪式的日期——2024年8月2日——意义重大，因为科比在湖人队时穿8号和24号球衣，吉安娜在科比的曼巴学院打球时穿2号球衣。
The first Bryant statue at Crypto.com Arena was unveiled on a similarly significant date in February (2/8/24). The 19-foot, 4,000-pound bronze memorial depicts Bryant in his No. 8 jersey. He is pointing toward the sky in a re-creation of an image from his 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors in 2006.
加密网竞技场的第一座布莱恩特雕像在2024年2月8日揭幕。这座19英尺高、4000磅（约5.79m,1.81t）重的青铜雕像便是身穿8号球衣的科比。他指着天空，重现了他在2006年对阵多伦多猛龙队时81分的表现。
“For the record,” his wife Vanessa Bryant said at the unveiling ceremony, “Kobe picked the pose you’re about to see, so if anyone has any issues with it, tough s—.”
“郑重声明，”他的妻子瓦妮莎·布莱恩特在揭幕仪式上说，“科比选择了你们即将要看到的姿势，所以如果有人对此有任何意见，请严肃对待。”
An inscription under the statue features the box score from that game. The statue initially included misspellings of two players’ names along with the word “decision.” Those typos have since been corrected.
雕像下方的碑文刻有该场比赛的比分。雕像上最初拼错了两名球员的名字和“decision”一词。后来，这些错字已被纠正。
The third planned statue, which will be unveiled at a later date, will show Bryant in his No. 24 jersey, which he wore in the final 10 years of his 20-year career with the Lakers.
第三座雕像将在之后揭幕，将展示科比穿着24号球衣，这是他在湖人队20年职业生涯的最后10年所穿的球衣。
