Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant scored his career in Minnesota with a total of over Michael Jordan and ranked third in the history of the city yesterday, December 16, Beijing time. After the game, he wrote about this historic moment at the player's forum. Here's what Bryant's diary says:
Zero. This is my score for the Future League of Sony Hills in Philadelphia after playing a whole summer, I was 12 years old. I didn't score, I didn't have a free throw, I didn't have an occasional layup, and I didn't even have a chance to score.
My father Joe Bryant and my uncle John Cox were all legendary players in the league. My father is a 6-foot 10-inch organization forward, my uncle is a height of 6 feet 4 inches of the guard.
I have shamed my family!
I thought maybe I should give up basketball and focus on football. My respect and appreciation for Michael Jordan was formed at this time. I knew he had been cut off by the basketball team at a tall time, and I knew he was aware of the experience of embarrassment and failure. But he turned that emotion into power and made himself stronger, and he didn't give up. So I decided to accept the challenge in the same way. I turned my failure experience into power and let the flames of competition in my body continue to burn. I became addicted to my family, and more importantly to myself, to prove that I could do it.
It becomes an obsession. I learned everything about the game, its history, players and basic skills. I am not just determined to never play a 0-point summer, but to try to apply the same frustration to my opponents as if they had unconsciously applied to me. My killer instinct for scoring was formed.
24 years later, I surpassed my muse.
What a great journey it is. Leaving this mark is a huge honor (in the History total score list). I've been aware of the curfew for old time. He'll let me go to my room and brush my teeth before I sleep. If I'm not acting like someone else put my toothpaste in the wrong place, it's not me; if I don't brush two times per tooth, brush my tongue three times, floss my teeth until my gums bleed, rinse my mouth with fever and even feel numb, it's not me.
I am no longer the child who recovered from the 0-point setback, and I am not going to commemorate the man who inspired me to challenge everything.
Thank you all for your love and support, thank you very much, even the evil side of my body has always refused to admit.
Full of love,
Mamba dispatched.
