Volume 1: The Road to the European Emperor Chapter 54: My Son Doncic
After seeing off a few scouts, Sun Hao took out his cell phone out of habit.
It was at this time that he touched the note and remembered that he still had a date with the Doncic couple.
He called and the phone was picked up quickly. It seemed that the person on the other end had been waiting for him.
He booked a cafe near his hotel, and when he arrived, the Doncic couple was already there.
As for Doncic, he was sucking milk there with big gulps.
The milk is in the bottle, what are you thinking about!
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. It's my treat."
Sun Hao sat down with an apologetic look on his face.
"Do you live around here?"
He then asked, before in France, Shasa said they were Yugoslav Serbs.
Belgrade is the current capital of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and will later be the capital of Serbia.
“No, we moved to Slovenia and Luka is Slovenian.”
Shasa's answer was beyond Sun Hao's expectations.
But this did remind him that Luka Doncic is indeed a Slovenian.
In the subsequent conversation, Sun Hao also learned more reasons.
Sports and politics are not linked, but the influence is actually huge.
Before Yugoslavia disintegrated, Slovenia and Serbia were all people of the same country.
But after the disintegration, in order to continue playing for the world powerhouse of the Yugoslav Federation, Shasa, who was born in Slovenia, chose to move to Belgrade and become a Yugoslav Federation Serb.
But now because of his age, there is no place for him in the national team.
His talent is not as good as Sabonis, Bodiroga and others, and he can only play in the national league.
So he chose to return to his hometown to play basketball, where he successfully became pregnant and gave birth to Doncic Jr.
The story is a bit tortuous, but after listening to it, Sun Hao felt even more fortunate that he lived in China, where politics was stable and people were well-off.
"There's something I want to ask your opinion on."
As they were chatting, Shasa's expression suddenly became serious.
Sun Hao looked at him curiously.
With this expression on his face, is there anything more serious than a child’s name?
"We want you to be Luca's godfather. What do you think?"
When Shasa said this, his wife beside him nodded.
godfather.
Many people are familiar with this term, but they don’t know much about it.
Most people may have the impression of it coming from the movie "The Godfather".
In the movies, Vito Don Corleone is the godfather of all gangsters.
There, godfather means boss.
But that is only one side of the meaning, and even with the advent of the era of peace and rule of law, it has become rare.
In reality, the Godfather uses another aspect more often.
The person who gives a Christian name to an infant or child at baptism and who undertakes to take charge of his or her religious education.
Both Catholicism and Christianity have similar practices to protect and supervise infants as they grow into human beings.
Or to make a more vivid analogy, the godfather is equivalent to the godfather in China.
This means he wants to be Doncic's father!
My son Doncic...
"I'm not religious."
Sun Hao doesn't mind being this person, but in Western countries, most of those who can become godfathers are prestigious believers in the church.
He is not, so he doesn't deserve it.
"You misunderstood. Not all godfathers have to be religious. That's the case in our country, right, Mirjam?"
Shasa turned to his wife and asked.
The wife hesitated and nodded.
"real?"
Sun Hao wasn't quite sure, after all, he wasn't religious.
"real."
Shasa gave a very affirmative answer.
"Well... okay."
Sun Hao always felt something was wrong.
But since Shasa said so, it can’t be false, right?
After all...recognizing a godfather is not a trivial matter.
"So do we still need to find a church or something?"
Sun Hao knew that this kind of thing was very formal in the West.
"No, this is not popular in our country. We keep everything simple. It's all fine as long as you are willing."
“…”
Sun Hao looked at Shasa suspiciously, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
How is this exactly the same as recognizing a godfather in China?
"If you have the chance in the future, you can guide Luca's training and treat him like your own child."
After hearing what Shasa said next, Sun Hao felt that he had really fallen into a trap.
Shasa, are you looking for a free trainer for Doncic?
But it’s not a loss.
There may be more than one person named Sasa Doncic in Slovenia, and there may be more than one person named Luka Doncic.
But if these two are father and son, then this little Doncic is the one Sun Hao knows.
Sun Hao is a time traveler, so he naturally knows what achievements Doncic will achieve in the future.
And with his guidance, the latter's achievements will only be greater.
Can my son Doncic beat LeBron?
My son Doncic, the best player in the league?
This sounds very comfortable.
Especially after he retired, watching his son... no, his godson punching and kicking Antetokounmpo in the league, killing everyone, that feeling was great.
After all, he doesn't have any children yet.
No, wake up! He doesn't even have a girlfriend!
Shasa didn't know what Sun Hao was thinking. He thought this matter made Sun Hao embarrassed, so he... pretended not to see it.
After seeing off Doncic and his wife, Sun Hao still felt a little dizzy.
To describe that feeling perfectly, I say: I’m so happy to be a father!
He returned to the hotel and was about to go back to rest for a while.
This night was a bit tiring as I had to play games, scout, and be a father.
"dad?"
However, as soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he looked up and saw his parents.
Two people were sitting on the sofa. Judging from their bored looks, they must have been waiting for a while.
The key point is, how did they get here? And directly to the hotel?
When they saw Sun Hao, his parents stood up and walked over.
Dad had a smile on his face, but Mom was complaining as she walked.
"I told you to go find him after the game, but you insisted on waiting at the hotel. Look, you only got to see your son now."
"Son, he must be busy tonight."
Dad was still smiling and just responded casually to Mom's complaints.
When Sun Hao heard this, he was deeply touched.
When I first came to Spain, there was a box of things given on the plane, and I knew I was busy making choices.
Father’s love is often silent, but it is very deep.
My mother's complaint only lasted for a moment. When she walked in front of Sun Hao, her eyes were already a little red.
I haven't seen you for a few years and I miss you so much.
Sun Hao smiled and started chatting with them.
Although he had no memory of this body before the time travel , he had communicated a lot with his parents in the past few years after the time travel.
They chatted as they walked to the hotel room.
From life in Spain to teammates in Real Madrid and some major events in the country, there are still many topics to talk about.
By the way, it also includes my previous experience of becoming a father.
"You, I'm just trying to get close to you, otherwise why didn't I approach you before?"
"If I really want to find someone, I can still contact them even if they are old classmates I have lost contact with for ten years. If I don't want to find them, I can forget about them the moment I turn around."
My mother quickly summarized Sun Hao’s experience, which was full of life philosophy.
"We got our grandson early."
My dad tried to join in the fun, but was immediately shut up by my mom's rolling her eyes.
Sun Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
My mother is really insightful, but it is also human nature for Shasa to do so.
After all, he won the Champions League MVP when he was less than 18 years old, so his future looks bright no matter how you look at it.
As they were talking, they had already entered the elevator.
"Son, do you have a girlfriend?"
After entering the elevator, my mother asked the same question as before.
"Of course he has. My son's charm is like mine."
Dad was in a good mood today and he even boasted about himself at the end.
However, his words immediately caused his mother to roll her eyes.
"It's different here than where we are. People become adults at 16."
Dad continued.
This sentence reminded my mother, and she looked at Sun Hao in confusion.
"No, nothing."
Sun Hao immediately shook his head, but a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
His parents' words reminded him of Joseline again.
It has been more than two years since Jocelyn left, and he has neither received an email from Jocelyn nor seen her in person.
It was like a living person appeared and then disappeared out of nowhere.
"Son, don't be discouraged. You are still young. You will definitely meet a perfect woman like your mother in the future, just like your father."
Although my dad brags a lot, he is still good at saying sweet words.
Sure enough, after she said this, my mother's face turned red unconsciously, and she reached out and gently pushed my father.
This dog food is spread...
Sun Hao scratched his head. He suddenly felt that it was not that Fernandez was good at picking up girls, but that he just couldn’t do it?
