I woke up early the next morning and set off for Hollywood, the city of cinema in California, and I was a little excited 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 of Kobe's father Joe, the BMW M5 that had been driven for many years, but it still looked quite well maintained.

This sedan from the 80s has a unique logo of which era, and the interior decoration makes me feel quite special, and the strong sense of age is indeed easy to sigh.

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

I didn't drive fast, but the main purpose of this trip was to relax my body and nerves, to adjust myself from the previous high-intensity training and competitions, and to prepare for the bigger challenges in the future.

For this reason, I tried not to think about basketball, and kept thinking about the memories of Hollywood in the 90s, of course, in fact, I had almost no memories of this part in my previous life, when I was just a child who had just been born, and I found that the movie that left the deepest impression on Kobe Bryant in his memory was the "Star Wars" trilogy.

Well, to be honest, I actually liked the "Star Wars" series in my previous life, but the first trilogy of "Star Wars" is too old after all, and the first part was filmed in the late seventies.

"Star Wars" is a space opera, perhaps Kobe's love for it is more based on the spiritual level, and the rendering of individual heroism in American culture may also be one of the factors in the formation of Kobe's character.

As for the concept of personal heroism, I think that people sometimes misunderstand it, but considering that people with different personalities and different life experiences do have different opinions, but it may just be a personal style, or a personal character.

It's like many people say that Kobe's personality is more lonely and paranoid, and it's okay to say this from a secular point of view, but from another point of view, this special character is the intrinsic important factor in Kobe's achievement, and in fact, most of the geniuses in this world have more or less conflicted parts with the world's vision, but isn't this one of the reasons why they are different from ordinary people?

When I was completely relaxed, I felt that time passed very fast, and the first destination of my trip was the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but in this era, there was no mobile phone navigation or GPS global positioning system, I could only rely on the paper map to locate, and after some small detours, I finally arrived at the destination smoothly.

I parked in a parking space on the side of the road, and the moment I stepped out of the car, I was struck by the joyful atmosphere in front of me, and many young people dressed themselves up so that I felt like I was entering an open-air masquerade ball.

Behold, there was a huge airship flying over the white clouds, and under it there were small balloons, both of which were printed with huge movie posters.

As soon as I saw Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck walking by, and then Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, I quickened my pace a little to find more classic Hollywood characters in my memory.

Popeye, Dalmatian, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, I found a lot of classic characters from Disney cartoons.

Wow! That's not Michael. Are the monsters in "Space Jam" in which Jordan participated?

If you look closely, a guy wearing a Jordan mask is performing a dunk show with a few guys dressed as monsters, and I can't move when I see something related to basketball, and I was going to stop thinking about basketball today, but as long as I see basketball, I will instinctively be attracted to it.

A trampoline was placed at one end of the field, and the basket had been specially treated, with a layer of elastic covering added to it to protect the dunk personnel, while the basket on the other side maintained its original appearance, and Mike and the monsters were raging wildly on the ordinary basket.

I have to say, when those guys in thick monster costumes make all kinds of dunk moves, even I can't help but exclaim, wow!

At this time, the surrounding onlookers let out one shout after another, as if they were welcoming some particularly powerful performance.

I saw the guy wearing Jordan's mask walking to the middle of the court, grabbing the basketball with one hand and waving it constantly, driving the surrounding audience to let out a certain rhythmic cheer.

Why does this scene feel so familiar to me?

I saw that the guy started to dribble and start to accelerate, and the crowd around me, including me, seemed to stop breathing at this moment.

The guy stepped on a step inside the free-throw line, and then he literally took off like Michael, leaving a lightning bolt in the air and slamming the ball into the basket.

The crowd around me immediately boiled again, and I got closer and found that the free throw line on this court was a little shorter than the NBA free throw line, but this guy's posture in the air and the feeling of dunking were really good, and it was at this time that I had the idea of going to the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest next year.

I laughed, smiling like an eighteen-year-old child, completely immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the crowd around me, to be honest, I saw that they had been dunking for a long time, and it seemed that my hands were a little itchy, why don't I go over and dunk two to try?

I was still a little entangled in my heart, and that's when the guy with Michael's mask actually walked up to me.

"Hey, the big guy should be able to play basketball based on your size, do you want to participate in a live interactive challenge?"

"What challenge?"

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

"You can choose to compete with one of us for a dunk or a one-on-one bullfight, and you have three chances to win any of our games to get a Michael. Jordan's autographed jersey at the '93 Finals! Well, this reward is good enough! ”

"Wow! It does feel much more attractive than the blonde babes in Los Angeles! ”

I jokingly continued:

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

"Are you so confident? So, if you win one of us, you'll get a Michael. Jordan's autographed gifts, these things are quite precious, if you have the strength, you can take them. ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

In the end, I chose to go head-to-head with this guy called Mike's mask, and even though I haven't had a chance to play one-on-one with the real Jordan yet, I'll just take this guy as him first, and then try it out with my real strength.

"You serve first, two-point is counted as 1 point, three-pointer is counted as two points, the person who scores 21 points first wins, if the score comes to 20-21, then you need to be two points ahead to win, do you understand the rules?"

I nodded, and after receiving the ball, I began to look closely at the guy in front of me, thinking about why he found me at a glance, but then I threw these thoughts out of the clouds, and when the ball was in my hands, all my attention would involuntarily focus on one point.

It was still a simple cross-step, and when I thought I could get past him as easily as I did my opponents on the streets, his lightning-fast left hand cut the ball off at once, and I couldn't see him under his mask when I looked back, but I was pretty sure he was laughing.

I'll admit that I was a little bit underweight, and he didn't attack immediately after the break, and it seemed like he was watching the details of my defence, and it seemed that the opponent was a very experienced character, so it got interesting.

He's faster than I thought he would, especially since the constant change of pace and tempo was quite uncomfortable for the defender, and the basketball was like sticking to his hands, no matter how difficult the dribble this guy was, every time I thought he was going to make a mistake, it turned out to be overthinking.

Is this guy trying to play with me? As I was about to explode with his dribble, the crowd erupted in cheers, apparently to the Mike-masked guy in front of me.

Do you think you're really Jordan with a mask?

I can't help but be angry from my chest, it's time to perform the real technique!
