距離科比退役還有十多個(gè)小時(shí),還有最后一場比賽。我算不上真正熱愛籃球的球迷,但我喜歡籃球這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng),我喜歡看著籃球沿著拋物線的軌跡刷筐而進(jìn)的時(shí)刻。
對(duì)于科比,我沒有用太多的青春去追。雖然,他真的名副其實(shí)地陪伴了所有90后的青春(從1996年開始進(jìn)入NBA,到2016年,整整20年),我也不是湖人的球迷。只是在這樣一個(gè)被全世界聚焦的告別時(shí)刻到來的時(shí)候,我想寫一點(diǎn)文字,畢竟等這一天過去,我也沒有第二個(gè)青春去追了。時(shí)光的腳步是留不住的,但是一定可以用某種特別的方式記住它。
閃耀著光芒的星星很多,通常,我們抬頭最先看到的還是最亮的那一顆??票取げ既R恩特,就像是這個(gè)時(shí)代籃球王國里的那顆耀眼的星星,用20年的時(shí)間去做好一件事,讓更多的人知道有一個(gè)名叫科比·布萊恩特的家伙籃球打得相當(dāng)相當(dāng)?shù)貌诲e(cuò)。
科比,Kobe Bryant,身高6英尺6英寸,出生于1978年8月23日。20年的籃球生涯,拿下了5次總冠軍、2次得分王、4次全明星MVP、1次常規(guī)賽MVP、2次總決賽MVP、18次NBA全明星、11次最佳陣容一陣、9次最佳防守陣容、單場81分……太多太多的榮譽(yù)和光環(huán)縈繞著他。
20年的籃球生涯讓他從當(dāng)初一個(gè)青澀的高中生變成了現(xiàn)在的小飛俠、黑曼巴、打鐵王、得分王、一個(gè)真真正正出色的籃球巨星。
只是,英雄終將退出戰(zhàn)場,即便精神和意志猶在。2016年4月14日星期四,對(duì)于科比本人,對(duì)于所有喜歡科比的人來說,注定是不平凡的一天。
講不出再見,是因?yàn)槲覀兿M@段青春依然能夠激情燃燒下去,然后彼此陪伴;
講不出再見,是因?yàn)榭票冉o予了太多太多驚喜和感動(dòng),我們還想繼續(xù)擁有下去;
講不出再見,是因?yàn)檎娴牟幌胝f再見。
千言萬語,只有匯成千千萬萬的祝福。
記住科比在宣布退役時(shí)寫下的文字
Dear Basketball,
From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:
I fell in love with you.
A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.
As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.
And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.
I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.
You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.
And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
Love you always,
Kobe
前方依舊有路,明天過后,洛杉磯凌晨四點(diǎn)的太陽會(huì)照常升起。
道一聲珍重,各自安好,用心守護(hù)好這段美好的青春記憶。
今夜,我在北京,祝??票取?/b>
