To be honest, I am not your pure fan. I have known you since Yao Ming and the Rockets.
Even you are not the gimmick in that game, the man who was drowned after the Yao Shark showdown.
Since when did I start to remember your name firmly? I know that day very well, November 17, 2002. In the absence of Sharks, you became the protagonist, scoring 46 points.
, made me understand for the first time, wow~ It turns out that the game can be played like this, it turns out that someone has higher scores than Francis and Mobley combined~ Later, I asked my cousin and found out that this No. 8 is called Kobe Bryant~ and McGrady and Carter.
And called the successor of Air Jordan~
I hate you~I really hate you~
Because you are a nightmare for Rockets fans~
You can always score those incredible goals~ You can always turn the tide at critical moments~ That's why I hate you~
Kobe Bryant, you always amaze me, don't you?
I thought you would perish if you left the shark, but you didn't.
I thought you would never win a championship with your team, but you didn't.
Just today, when I thought you could get 30+ at most, you got 60+ directly.
I didn't watch the first half of your episode because I was at work at the time and was thinking about how to get a raise or promotion. But when I saw the overwhelming promotion on the website, I couldn't help but secretly click on my phone. At that time, I hit the right spot.
During the break, I was playing some of your documentary videos. I don’t know which moment or scene, but you suddenly made me cry. I made an action that I never thought about. I left the company and went to be quiet.
Look at your second half~ Believe me, except for a serious illness, I have absolutely no record of being absent from work or leaving early~ But today, I did it~ I can’t really tell the reason~ but I just did it~
I don’t know if I will regret it tomorrow~ But at this moment, I just want to enjoy your last performance~
Strangely enough, the surrounding cafes were so crowded today that I couldn't even use the wifi.
This is the first time that I used a 4G data network to watch a basketball game. I don’t know if it’s worth it, but at this moment, I just want to do it~
I sat on a small porcelain table in a corner, holding my mobile phone, and began to quietly enjoy your curtain call performance.
By the end of the third quarter, your score had increased to 37, but this performance still left me "indifferent", because it seemed that at that moment, I felt that you were the same person you were ten years ago. This level is nothing.
Right?
In the fourth quarter, when you made a quasi-winner that reversed the score, I shouted loudly and desperately~ It felt like I was back in middle school, no need to think about work, no need to think about salary, no need to think about
In life, you just need to enjoy the basketball game wholeheartedly~ After I finished shouting, it attracted the attention of many people, but coincidentally, someone made the point. He must be watching Kobe's last game~ He
The explanation made everyone around him suddenly show a look of understanding~
In the end, you left the game with a score of 60 points. Everything started with a free throw, and then finally a free throw ~ 20 years of reincarnation, you completed your basketball mission ~
But I noticed a detail. You could have held the ball for two more free throws in the end, but you chose to pass the ball~
Does this count as a goodbye kiss to the super scorer, Black Mamba, and Peter Pan?
From 8 to 24, you have finished your basketball life, and we have also finished our school days.
I sat on the porcelain table for a long time, not knowing what to say or what to think. From a biological age point of view, we are still young people, but from a passionate youth point of view, we no longer have the energy and time.
Never again inject so much emotion and energy into a "stranger"~
From Yao Ming to Tracy McGrady to Kobe Bryant, all the NBA stars I loved and hated have all left the game. At this second, I felt like there was no more throbbing in my heart~
I know, this is my throbbing for youth~
Thank you Kobe, thank you Bryant, thank you Black Mamba, thank you Peter Pan, thank you No. 8, thank you No. 24~
Thank you for accompanying us through the years~
Thank you for accompanying us through a period of youth~
Seriously, thank you, Kobe Bryant, the man known as the Black Mamba at Staples Center.
