Dear KOBE

毛鸿欣 王美娜

From the first time

Holding the ball， sitting in front of the TV

To keep an eye on the Chinese giant in the NBA

While eyes fell deeply into your gallant figure

I knew one thing was real：

I fell in love with you.

So deeply the love is！

Love your fade-away shot

Love your fancy footwork

Love your back down technique in the low post

Love your 81 points game

Love your 60 points retirement game

Love your game-winning shots

From your basketball skills and thought

To your spirit and soul

As an adolescent

I deeply love you

You made a 12-year-old child understand

Basketball is a talented and finally hardworking sport

The same goes for life

Your strong and unyielding will

Continually burning passion for dreams

Urge you to keep striving from injury

Loneliness， submission， hatred

As many people love you as many people hate you

And hate that youre loved， for the exact same reason

You presented miracle and impossibility over and over again when facing doubt

Change away from home again and again

The Most Valuable Player-MVP、MVP、MVP、MVP...

Cheers and admirations rang through every stadium

People felt your conception of the life in exclamation—

Stress、pressure、challenge， are your catalysts for success

What youre doing right now- youre chasing perfection

You defined the Mamba Mentality with a noble and beautiful soul

Shaped a good role model

Accompanying me through the most colorful youth

Inspiring me to overcome every setback with courage and tenacity

Infecting me to work hard and strive towards a beautiful dream

Ill always be that boy

Wearing No. 24 jersey

Imagining your fade-away posture

Shooting game-winning shots

Love you always
