We were surprised that Kobe Bryant, one of (popular) NBA players passed away on January 26th, 2020. And the bad news made people (feel) sad and shocked.
Kobe was talented playing basketball at a very young age. So his father (send) him to the basketball club. He was interested in basketball and took it (serious). He entered the NBA from high school and spent twenty years with the Los Angeles Lakers. With his help, the LA Lakers won the first prize five times. Kobe was not only a (success) basketball player, but also was a writer. He often told stories to his daughters in his free time. That's he wrote a book about a basketball team.
He once said, "I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant." He saw Michael Jordan as his idol would like to play a game with Jordan. We all know that Kobe had two different jersey(球衣) numbers: 8 and 24. Do you know the meaning of the number 24? The meaning is — you want to achieve(实现) your dream, you need to work hard 24 hours a day.
Kobe Bryant is such great guy that all of us will remember him all the time.
