introduction
On April 14, 2016, in an ordinary office building in Beijing, a young man nestled in an office chair, staring at a basketball game on a computer screen, but his mind was full of thoughts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Yuanfei, who will turn 30 in a few weeks, is the manager of a medium-sized company. He has been watching the NBA (National Professional Basketball League) for almost 20 years since elementary school, from a casual spectator to a veteran football fan, to a basketball expert who loves to talk about it online. He spends almost all of his spare time watching the NBA and studying basketball. At this time, his expression was rich, sometimes excited, sometimes lamenting.
Streaming live on the screen is a regular regular season game between the Lakers and the Jazz, and although it is the final game of the regular season, it is no longer relevant to the playoff pattern (note: the top eight teams in the East and West of the NBA league regular season will enter the playoff elimination stage), and since the eighth place in the West Rockets just defeated the Kings, the ninth place Jazz in the West has been eliminated regardless of whether they win or lose. Their opponents, the Lakers, were even worse, and the traditional giants were destined to end a humiliating season with the worst record in team history. It doesn't matter if this game is won or lost, the point is that this is the Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Bryant's last fight of his career.
Wang Yuanfei opened the text live broadcast interface of another game, and the defending champion Warriors had a huge lead over the Grizzlies by 22 points in the fourth quarter. "I'm not looking." He muttered a deftful switch back to the Lakers' game, another wave of sadness.
"It's been praised and praised, and the black is even more black." Yuanfei muttered to himself, "It's finally time to say goodbye, Volute (Kobe Bryant's nickname)." ”
Kobe Bryant is arguably the last bastion of the league's old-school guards, and modern basketball increasingly values the superstar's off-ball ability and reduces the superstar's ball-carrying consumption. Durant, Curry and other top-notch off-ball and ball-based superstars have slowly replaced old-school superstars. The aging Kobe Bryant also recognized this, and this season he averaged a career-high 8.8 three-pointers per game (much higher than his career average of 4.0 shots per game), but the shooting percentage was only a sad 27% (the data is based on the creation date of the entire season).
"The basketball era of individual heroism is over." Yuan Fei sighed: "Shouldn't I also watch less penalty balls and find a girlfriend to get married and have a baby?" The years are urging people to grow old, and I am thirty in the blink of an eye. Thirty and ......"
The game entered the final three and a half minutes, and the Lakers were still 10 points behind 94-84, and it looked like the defeat was a foregone conclusion. And Kobe Bryant hit consecutive shots, plus 2 free throws, narrowing the gap to 4 points!
The old Kobe Bryant seems to be rejuvenated at this moment, and he is about to lead the Lakers to create a miracle again. Yuanfei's eyes widened, but a colic suddenly interrupted his thoughts! He had never imagined that his chest would be so torn and tight. "I ...... I don't have a history of heart disease, what's going on......"
Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot, 96:95, and the Lakers were only one point behind! Yuan Fei slipped from his seat and fell to the ground, his left hand clutching his chest, his eyes full of unwillingness.
With only 32 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant took advantage of his teammates' cover, broke into the three-point line, and threw a beautiful arc, 96:97 The Lakers overtook the game, and the fans were boiling. But Wang Yuanfei had lost consciousness and couldn't see the scene at this moment.
Bryant scored two more points on a free throw, followed by an assist for two more points from his teammate. 96-101, the Lakers sealed the win. With just four seconds left in the game, Bryant was substituted and he enjoyed the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans. The Lakers ended a nightmare season with a magical comeback. Bryant scored an astonishing 60 points in the whole game! It was a successful end to his career.
At this time, Wang Yuanfei's heart also stopped beating.
