Reborn My Name Is Kobe

I got up early the next day and prepared to leave for Hollywood, the movie city also located in California. I was a little excited thinking that I would soon be able to experience the Hollywood Walk of Fame in person.

At this time, Kobe Bryant had not yet purchased his own car, so I could only borrow the car owned by Kobe's father, Joe, which was a BMW M5 that had been driven for many years, but it still seemed to be well maintained.

This car that was manufactured in the 1980s has the unique logo of the era it belongs to. The decoration inside the car makes me feel quite special. The strong sense of the era is indeed easy to make people sigh.

I have to say that the road transportation in the United States is indeed quite developed. California, located in the western United States, is actually quite large. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland and other places are under its jurisdiction. The world-famous Hollywood

and Silicon Valley are also located there.

I don’t drive very fast, and the main purpose of this trip is to relax my body and nerves, to allow myself to adjust from the previous high-intensity training and competition, and to prepare for facing even greater challenges in the future.

For this reason, I tried my best not to think about basketball, and kept thinking about the memories of Hollywood in the United States in the 1990s. Of course, in fact, I had very few memories of this period in my previous life. At that time, I was just

As a child who was just born, I discovered that the movie that left the deepest impression on Kobe in his memory was actually the "Star Wars" trilogy.

Well, to be honest, I actually liked the "Star Wars" series in my previous life. However, the first trilogy of "Star Wars" is too old after all. The first part was filmed in the late 1970s. After all, the 20th century

Looking back at the past with the eyes of the eleventh generation, we will indeed feel that everything seems a bit backward.

"Star Wars" is a space opera. Perhaps Kobe's love for it is more based on the spiritual level. The exaggeration of personal heroism in American culture may also be one of the factors that formed Kobe's character.

Regarding the concept of personal heroism, I think the world sometimes has some misunderstandings about it. However, considering that people with different personalities and different life experiences do have different views, but this may just be a personal style, or maybe it is just a personal style.

A personal character.

Just like many people say that Kobe's character is relatively lonely and paranoid. From a secular perspective, it is okay to say so, but from another perspective, this special character is an important intrinsic factor in Kobe's achievement, and in fact

Most of the geniuses in this world have parts that are more or less in conflict with worldly vision, but isn't this one of the reasons that distinguish them from ordinary people?

When I relax completely, I feel that time flies very fast. My first destination on this trip is the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but in this era there is no such thing as mobile phone navigation or GPS global positioning system.

I could only rely on paper maps to locate my location. After some minor detours, I finally reached my destination smoothly.

I parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road. The moment I stepped out of the car, I was immediately struck by the joyful atmosphere in front of me.

Infected, many young people dressed themselves up carefully, which gave me the feeling of entering an open-air masquerade party.

Look, there is a huge airship flying over the white clouds in the sky, and there are some small hot air balloons below it. Huge movie posters are printed on the airship and hot air balloons.

I just saw Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck walking by, and in the blink of an eye I saw Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs again. I accelerated my pace a little, wanting to find more classic Hollywood characters in my memory.

Popeye, Dalmatians, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, I discovered many classic characters from Disney cartoons.

Wow! Aren’t those the monsters from “Space Jam” starring Michael Jordan?

Taking a closer look, a guy wearing a Jordan mask was performing a dunk show with several guys dressed as monsters. As soon as I saw something related to basketball, I couldn't move. I originally planned not to think about it today.

Everything about basketball, but as soon as the eyes see basketball, they will be attracted by it instinctively.

A trampoline was placed at one end of the field, and the basket was specially treated. A layer of elastic covering was added to it to protect the dunker, while the basket on the other side maintained its original shape.

It seems that at this time, Mike and the monsters are wreaking havoc crazily on the ordinary basket.

What I have to say is that when those guys in thick monster costumes performed various dunking moves, even I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!"

At this time, the people watching around started shouting one after another, as if they were waiting for some particularly powerful performance.

I saw the guy wearing a Jordan mask walking to the middle of the court, grabbing the basketball with one hand and waving it constantly, causing the surrounding audience to cheer with a certain rhythm.

Why does this scene feel so familiar to me?

I saw the guy start dribbling and speeding up. The crowd around me, including me, seemed to stop breathing at this moment.

The guy's foot stepped one step away from the free throw line, and then he really jumped into the air like Michael, leaving a lightning-like figure in the air and slamming the ball into the basket.

The crowd around me immediately became excited again. I got closer and found that the free throw line on this court was shorter than the NBA free throw line. However, this guy's posture in the air and dunk just now were indeed quite good.

It was at this time that I came up with the idea of ​​participating in next year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

I smiled, like an eighteen-year-old child, completely immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the people around me. To be honest, after watching them dunk for a long time, my hands seemed a little itchy, so I might as well go over and dunk two.

Try it?

When I was still a little confused deep in my heart, the guy wearing the Michael mask actually walked up to me.

"Hey, big man, judging from your size, you should be able to play basketball, right?

, do you want to participate in a live interactive challenge?"

"What challenge?"

I looked at him a little confused, with the corners of my mouth still slightly raised, showing a green smile.

"You can choose to compete with one of us for dunking or one-on-one bullfighting. You have three challenge opportunities. As long as you can win any of our games, you can get an autograph written by Michael Jordan in the 1993 Finals.

Signed jersey! How about it, this reward is enough!"

"Wow! I do feel much more attractive than the hot blonde girl in Los Angeles!"

I joked and continued:

"Well, what if I can win a lot of games against you?"

"Are you so confident? Let's do this. If you win a game against us, we will give you a gift signed by Michael Jordan. These things are quite precious. If you have the strength, come and get them."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

I finally chose to go one-on-one with this guy with the Mike mask. Even though I haven’t had a chance to go one-on-one with the real Jordan yet, I’ll just treat this guy as him first, and then show my real Jordan.

Let’s give it a try.

"You serve first. Two-pointers count as one point, three-pointers count as two points. The first person to score 21 points wins. If the score reaches 20 to 21, then you need to lead by two points to win. Do you understand the rules?

?”

I nodded, and after catching the ball, I began to carefully observe the guy in front of me. I was thinking about why he found me at a glance, but then I threw these thoughts away. When the ball was in my hands, everything

The attention will be involuntarily focused on one point.

It was still a simple cross step. Just when I thought I could get past him as easily as I could get past those street opponents, my left hand was as quick as lightning and cut the ball off. I turned around.

I couldn't see what he looked like under the mask, but I was pretty sure he was smiling.

I admit that I underestimated the opponent a little, but he did not attack immediately after stealing the ball. He seemed to be observing the details of my defense. It seemed that the opponent was a powerful character with considerable experience, so things became complicated.

It's getting interesting.

His speed is faster than I expected, especially the constant changes in speed and rhythm that make defenders very uncomfortable, and the basketball seems to be stuck in his hands, no matter how difficult the dribbling this guy makes

Every time I thought he would make a mistake, it turned out that I was overthinking it.

Is this guy deliberately playing tricks on me? When I was about to be overwhelmed by his dribbling, the audience around me burst into cheers. It was obvious that the object of these cheers was the man wearing a Mike in front of me.

Mask guy.

Do you think you are really Jordan when you wear a mask?

The anger couldn't help but be ignited in my chest. It was time to show off my real skills!
