Zhang Hao was woken up early in the morning.
In a dazed state, Zhang Hao heard someone calling him "father".
He thought he was dreaming, but after gradually waking up, he found that he was not dreaming. He opened his eyes and saw a little white boy... no, it was a very white black curly-haired little boy who was pushing him, and seemed to be shouting "Dad" as he pushed.
Zhang Hao's brain suddenly froze. He traveled through time again? Did he still have no memory of the past this time?
At this time, Zhang Hao saw his hands. They were not black...
Looking around again, it was the living room of his apartment. He was lying on the sofa, and the one calling "Dad" was little Curry, whom he had just met yesterday.
This made Zhang Hao even more confused...
"What the hell? Didn't old Curry score so much in the preseason and lose to me once? How come his son has become my son? Do people have so much fun these days? He gave his son away just because he lost a game... Wait!
What was it called? Godfather?
Godfather? "
I woke up and found myself to be my godfather! What happened?
"Wait, it seems like after the game last night, this kid's father came to find me and took me out to drink secretly. It seems like he got drunk..."
Zhang Hao gradually began to recall what happened after last night's game.
He played well last night and the team easily won its first preseason win with a score of 117-96.
Although it was just a preseason game, the local media was happy and the domestic media was even happier. After the game, he was surrounded by a bunch of reporters for interviews like a big star, making his teammates and even opponents envious.
The "punch-in" task was completed successfully. His 31 points were far higher than Dell Curry's 18 points. Although he had many advantages such as asymmetric conditions, asymmetric ideas of the two teams' players... but it was done.
He is a high school rookie, and with such performance, what else is there to complain about?
Dell Curry was surprised by his mid-range shooting ability and wanted to make friends with him. Once this idea came up, it was magnified infinitely.
How mature should a 31-year-old man be?
In fact, even if a man is old, he will still be immature. Maturity may be innate, such as a future No. 23 player who is unwilling to reveal the height of his hairline.
How to make good friends?
Of course, men are the easiest to get to know at the drinking table.
Do it when you think of it!
Then, Zhang Hao was taken by Dell Curry to a family restaurant for a drink. The restaurant was opened by one of Dell Curry's early teammates. He never got an NBA contract after playing for one and a half seasons, and finally came to Rutherford and opened a family restaurant.
Zhang Hao originally thought that he was just going to have a midnight snack, but he didn't expect that they would be drinking. However, he couldn't refuse the invitation. It was not easy to have the opportunity to drink secretly. He was only 18 years old, and he couldn't buy any alcohol even if he wanted to drink secretly at home, so he didn't refuse.
Then I got drunk.
He no longer remembers what happened after getting drunk, but he remembers that he and Dell Curry became close friends after three rounds of drinks. He remembers one scene.
He and Dell Curry stood on the roof of the two-story family restaurant, one holding one of Curry's legs. He remembered Dell Curry yelling at Curry, "Hurry up and call me godfather. From today on, Axel is my brother, and your godfather. Hurry up and call me godfather, otherwise I will not have you as my son!"
Zhang Hao said, "No, no, no, how can you do this? Stephen and I are not much different in age..." but he was shaking Curry's calf with his hand.
Little Curry was so scared that he started to cry. He just said "NO". His father wanted to "kill his own son for the sake of justice" because he didn't listen to his father.
Finally, Curry succumbed to the tyranny of Zhang Hao and Dell Curry, and shouted "Ga De Fa" with infinite shame...
The last memory fragment stopped at Dell Curry asking him to get closer to Curry Jr., asking his former teammate to drive him home and asking Curry Jr. to take care of him...
Thinking about how he lost control after drinking last night, Zhang Hao felt so ashamed! He really wanted to find a hole in the ground... hide there and laugh like a pig!
The future best three-point shooter in history! A two-time MVP superstar! He is almost ruined by his father Zhang Hao and Dell Curry!
Will it leave a childhood shadow on Curry Jr.?
Zhang Hao thought that this was impossible... This kid is really strong! He is a real elementary school student who can train 4 days a week!
Definitely not!
Zhang Hao truly felt the power of "learning mode" this time. The effect of "deep sleep" is indeed a powerful tool for recovering mental consumption. He drank too much last night. Although his body is still tired after playing a formal game and having a hangover, his head doesn't hurt and he is in great spirits. He only felt a little uncomfortable when he was woken up , but after waking up for a while, he felt full of energy.
Another thing is that entering a "deep sleep" state is also very beneficial to the body's recovery, which is really a good thing.
Just when Zhang Hao came back to his senses, he heard little Curry's voice again, this time with a crying voice: "Godfather, will you send me back to my dad?"
Little Curry is really scared! He is only a 7-year-old child, and he was given away by his own father!
Originally, he really didn't want to call Zhang Hao "godfather". He was even reluctant to call him uncle yesterday. But now he had no choice. He felt that if he didn't call him in a nicer way, he might not be able to go home.
"Okay, okay, Stephen, just call me Aix," Zhang Hao didn't tease Curry and continued, "Wait for me to take a shower, take you to have breakfast and send you to the hotel. Your dad should still be sleeping, don't worry."
Zhang Hao felt very happy with the "godfather" call, but it was enough to make a fuss for a while. How could he keep taking advantage of others? A 7-year-old boy also has dignity, okay... After another 20 years, when Zhang Hao retires and successfully becomes an NBA head coach, he will go to find Curry, who has MVP potential, and use his "godfather" status to ask Curry to help him become the head coach...
Isn’t it beautiful?
He can't give up this identity. It's not like he insisted on getting this identity. It's his biological father who insisted on him having this identity. He has no choice!
Little Curry had no idea of ​​Zhang Hao's thoughts. After hearing this, he thought for three seconds and then a light bulb came on. He said, "Mom said that Dad is very proud and will do what he says. When my dad is here, I will call you Godfather. When he is not here, I will call you Brother Aix, okay?"
The little boy is really smart!
Of course Zhang Hao would not refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
After taking a shower, Zhang Hao took little Curry to have breakfast, which made his body hurt.
This 7-year-old kid eats more than an adult!
"I should have known I wouldn't have brought the future three-point king to such an expensive restaurant..."
Although he was complaining in his heart, after breakfast, Zhang Hao asked Curry to pick out some food for his father and pack it up to take to the hotel.
Zhang Hao didn't ask where Dell Curry's hotel was, and there was no need to ask. There was only one hotel in Rutherford Town, and the rest were B&Bs. One B&B obviously couldn't accommodate the entire team. There were 20 regular players and players under training camp contracts, in addition to coaches and staff. Generally, visiting teams that came to play here stayed in that hotel. Jersey City was too far away, and it was inconvenient to train at the Continental Airlines Arena.
The distance was not far, just a 10-minute walk. Zhang Hao did not take a taxi as it was not convenient to take a taxi here. He just walked there with Curry, as Curry was very strong anyway.
After the commotion yesterday, Curry Jr. treated Zhang Hao as his own. He chatted with Zhang Hao as they walked, and it was mainly Curry Jr. who asked questions.
This time, Curry asked about the game: "Axel, you were so good last night, your shooting was so accurate, other people's mid-range shots were not as good as yours, can you teach me?"
"If you have time in the summer, you can, but I think you are more suitable for three-point shooting. Look, your dad is so good at three-point shooting."
"I will learn three-point shooting from my dad, and I also want to learn mid-range shooting from you. I will learn all your best techniques, and then become better than you!"
Looking at Curry's confident look, Zhang Hao thought about it...it's not impossible, no, it's very likely!
Thinking about the future, Zhang Hao felt that his coaching career might really depend on this little boy.
encourage!
Must be encouraged!
Zhang Hao said: "It's possible that you might become the greatest shooter in basketball history."
When little Curry heard what Zhang Hao said, he was so happy that he jumped up and down as he walked.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at a five-story business hotel that claimed to be a quasi-four-star hotel.
Zhang Hao has learned about this place. If there is one thing that makes this hotel different from other business hotels, it is the price. The five-star hotels in Jersey City, which is more than an hour's drive away, are not as expensive as this hotel.
When they got here, little Curry found the way and took Zhang Hao to a room on the second floor. Little Curry took a room card, opened the door and entered. There was a smell of alcohol inside.
Apparently, after Dell Curry's friend sent Zhang Hao home and then to the hotel last night, he also started drinking, because when Zhang Hao walked into the room, he saw the owner of the family restaurant lying on the floor. The owner had not drunk alcohol when he was in the restaurant before.
Little Curry skillfully went to the bathroom to get two hot towels, poured water, helped Dell Curry wipe his face, and then woke Dell Curry up...that was such a skill.
Zhang Hao still remembers that Dell Curry complained last night that his wife asked their son to watch him after he got drunk. Now it seems that without little Curry, Dell Curry would have to suffer alone when he got drunk...
"Wait, if the future three-point king is not here, can't old Curry bring the girl from the nightclub back to the hotel? Maybe she will be taken care of better..."
Zhang Hao went to the hotel to ask for a sobering medicine, and Curry said gratefully: "Thank you, Godfather."
Dell Curry had woken up. Zhang Hao noticed that when little Curry called him "Godfather", the corners of Dell Curry's mouth twitched, but he did not stop.
That means admitting it!
Zhang Hao said he liked this face-saving character.
After Dell Curry washed his face and woke up, Curry Jr. said, "Dad, this is the breakfast that the godfather brought. It's delicious. I chose it. It's all your favorite."
“…”
Dell Curry felt very upset when he was called godfather one after another. Wasn't he going to refuse?
My own son actually became the godson of an 18-year-old kid! My own son suddenly had a father!
And this skin color looks...
His biological father is black , his godfather is yellow, but his son looks so white!
If Curry shaved his head and shaved off his black curly hair, and the three of them were walking on the street and chatting, the scene would be so weird.
But now that things have come to this, what else can Dell Curry do?
Words spoken cannot be taken back, and he remembered that he took the initiative to propose it after he got drunk. Although he could not remember the specific process, he remembered that the other party seemed to have refused, and he didn't know how he agreed in the end.
"If I drink again I...I...I will never bring another son with me!"
Although the relationship at the drinking table was not strong, Zhang Hao and Dell Curry became close after getting drunk.
Putting aside the slightly awkward situation regarding Curry Jr., the two had a pretty good relationship, and after chatting for a while, Zhang Hao left, leaving Dell Curry, whose son now had a new father, to calm down.
Moreover, the Hornets were about to leave at noon, and Zhang Hao would go to Charlotte with the team tomorrow. They would play against the Hornets again the day after tomorrow. They had an appointment to have dinner at Curry's house tomorrow night, so they sent Zhang Hao away.
Exhausted!
