Although I don't play basketball, Kobe's death still made me even more depressed. During this period, people were already panicking because of the new coronavirus, but the unexpected crash of basketball superstar Kobe Bryant made people feel even more depressed. This year’s Spring Festival may be the most unhappy one.

When I woke up this morning, I was shocked by the news about Kobe Bryant. I didn’t believe it at all when I saw the article about Kobe Bryant’s death that was pushed to me. Although I don't play basketball, I still know Kobe. My impression is that Kobe was in his prime, in good health, and had a happy family. I remember the last time I saw the shocking news about Kobe Bryant on the Internet was when he retired. How could he die?

After I clicked in, I realized that this news might be true, so I started looking for relevant reports. As a result, I found an overwhelming amount of messages commemorating Kobe on social media, Moments, Weibo, and headlines. Only then did I really believe that Kobe was really gone. Yesterday it was all about masks, pneumonia, Wuhan, come on, today it’s all about Kobe. This situation seems to be no joke.

As a person who does not play basketball, although I am not particularly sad, I feel very sorry. I feel really sorry for the basketball fans in my circle of friends. I know what this person's death means to them, and although I can't relate to it, I can basically understand it. I still remember those brothers who loved basketball in high school. We were unable to watch the live broadcast due to limited conditions at school, so they discussed the game data.

When your favorite team wins, you will be excited for a long time, but if you lose, you will be upset. The games involving Kobe should be what they pay the most attention to, and they are very excited after the game; they can discuss the total score, how many rebounds Kobe has, and how many goals he scored for a long time. Those young guys who were crazy about basketball at the time should be sad to hear this news. At this time when the whole country is going through a difficult time, the news about Kobe Bryant has added a haze to this year's Spring Festival. I hope that all this will pass when spring comes.
