Last year, I knew that this ESPN documentary would be broadcast in 2020, probably because of the epidemic, it was earlier, with two episodes a week. I held back the rhythm of two episodes a week, and when they were all out, I downloaded the highest-definition version and planned to watch it all at once. I downloaded it from the external hard drive hanging at home. The anxiety, the feeling of opening the software every hour to check the download progress, was like a primary school student waiting for tomorrow's spring outing. When the download was completed, it was sad to find that the current version is too high-definition, 2160P, and the frame will be stuck when playing, but after all, I can't hold it back. In a few days, I finished watching 1-2 episodes a day.
There are thousands of words in my heart, reminding me of a lot of things in the past, thinking of the past.
1. Memories
In my impression, my earliest memory of Jordan was probably in elementary school, fourth or fifth grade, when the Bulls won their second three-peat. I must have known and known earlier, but I can clearly remember the earliest scene now, when I finished making up a class at the math teacher's house on the weekend, ran home, and watched the third and fourth quarters of the Bulls live broadcast.
2. Hypocrisy
Come to think of it, I've watched the Bulls' games, probably no more than 30 games. Regarding Jordan's memory, more of it is through sports weekly newspapers, second-hand biographies, picture albums and the like in junior high school. When I was in junior high school, I used to call myself the most loyal fan of Jordan in my class, but now that I think about it, it is also very hypocritical. I remember that one time I forgot who I played in the playoffs in 1997 or 1998. I was bragging with Zhang Yang, who was at the same table at the time. The Bulls were really bad. The situation was very bad. Zhang Yang replied, now Not good, 3:1 lead. I flattered right away. Zhang Yang has a lot of information about football and basketball. At that time, I didn't even know the rules of the playoffs. I just liked it hypocritically.
3. Jersey
One summer vacation in junior high school, my parents and I came to Hangzhou to play. Looking back now, it was probably in the Hangzhou Gymnasium, or somewhere on Moganshan Road, in a roadside shop, in a small shop full of jerseys, and bought a set The Bulls' jersey is a red away jersey made of chemical fiber. By the way, except for the red stripes and the Bulls' team logo, which are printed realistically, the other fakes are a mess, but I still remember wearing it on my body, cool. Bingbing feeling, remember those summers wearing this jersey. Later, in a shopping mall in Ningbo, I bought a certain white baseball cap, but I definitely couldn't buy the Bulls, so I bought a Charlotte Hornets by a ghost. Of course, it must be a fake. Then in a miraculous time, more than 20 years later, Jordan acquired the Charlotte Hornets and became the owner of the team.
4. Sneakers
In a 96/97/98 years when wearing Li Ning would feel extremely expensive, wearing Jordan shoes is probably the person standing at the top of the campus pyramid. In our middle school, the road from the cafeteria to the teaching building, just a short turn is a basketball court. Every week, the best players in the school are playing games. At that time, the ball played well, and basically he was the most super star in the school. At that time, Chen Dong, who was two years older than me, was the captain of the basketball team. He was less than 170 years old. He was a point guard and could grab the basket. What impressed me the most was that he was wearing a pair of aj12 black and white sneakers, shuffling his feet, as if he never cared. The sole is worn out. The other is a senior who has never known his name. He is very handsome and tall. He wears a pair of aj13 pandas. Unfortunately, his feet may be a little lame, probably from a car accident or something. There is also a senior who could not play when he entered school, but he played very well when he graduated. He always wears a pair of aj11 black and white. Over the past 20 years, Jordan shoes seem to have not increased in price, they are all like one thousand two three. At that time, wearing Jordan shoes and playing on the cement floor was a shocking thing. So much so that I had an ideal. If I can succeed in the future, the standard is that I can play without fear of money in Jordan shoes. Later, I gradually bought aj12 and aj13, but I was still reluctant to wear them to play ball.
5. The Eternal Moment
If the final freeze of life can be condensed into a few moments, I think the greatest moment I have experienced in my life is that I experienced Jordan's last shot in real time. When the school bell rang that morning, all the boys in the school ran to the cafeteria. I ran to the TV in the cafeteria on the second floor and squeezed into a place where I could see the picture clearly. The sixth game between the Bulls and the Utah Jazz in the 1998 season was at the end. In the fourth quarter, the score was tight. When Stockton was still Hornacek's lead, the audience was silent, except for a brave buddy applauding, presumably a Jazz fan, who ushered in fierce ridicule. Then the thing is known to the world, Jordan made the last two goals, including the greatest The Last Shot. I can't forget the spectacle of the roof being lifted.
6. What is the meaning
In the bedroom of my hometown before we moved, there was a circle of posters on the wall, mostly movie posters. I only remember two of them. One is a promotional photo of Wang Zhizhi wearing the No. 16 jersey of the Mavericks. After that, I watched some of Jordan's games with the Wizards, some of Wang Zhizhi's games, some of Yao Ming's games, and some of Kobe's games. Watching these people's games is probably more than watching Jordan, but only Jordan is what I always want in my heart. And what does Jordan mean to me? Focus? effort? talent? Achievement? Or is it widely circulated that I can lose, but I have to work hard? I think the above all have some influencing factors, but I can't express exactly what they mean to me. I thought about it, probably Jordan's life has such a charm that fascinates me the most, that is, the eternal uncertainty, you never know what he will do next, how he will do it, and it will never stop unexpectedly. I think this is the most interesting aspect of life.
7. End
Okay, on Sunday, put on my aj13 and get off the court and shoot a few hoops.
