After chatting for a while in Sun Hao's room and checking into the hotel, his parents reminded him not to forget his birthday the next day, and then left him alone to go shopping and enjoy their own private time.
I confirmed through eye contact that it was a biological child.
However, as soon as his parents left, Sun Hao had some free time and he started to think of Fernandez.
I don’t know where this little brother of mine has gone.
When he picked up the phone, he found that there were several missed calls from him.
He had muted his phone while chatting with his parents, so when he called him, he found that the guy had gone to the Church of St. Sava.
This guy is thinking about having a romantic encounter again!
Ever since he was set up by a honey trap in Italy, Sun Hao has given up on having romantic encounters because they can go wrong too easily.
He even felt that he was lucky last time. If something indescribable had really happened in the hotel, he would have found himself infected with the "Italian disease" when he came back.
That would be a real surprise.
When Fernandez heard Sun Hao calling him, he immediately took a taxi over.
Although he may still fail in his romantic encounters as usual...
While waiting for Fernandez to come, Sun Hao had already gone to the supermarket downstairs to buy some wine.
When Fernandez arrived, the two of them started drinking right away.
Although they had proven last time in Italy that they couldn't drink much, they still had to drink this wine.
As the Champions League MVP, Sun Hao will most likely choose to go to the NBA later, and this may be his only chance.
Besides, there were only two of them in the hotel, so there was no need to worry about anything happening.
But they really couldn't drink much and were half drunk in a short while.
"Jocelyn, has she been here?"
His parents’ words reminded Sun Hao of Josephine. When he got drunk, the scene flashed back to him and he couldn’t help but ask.
"I have no idea."
"Raul joined a new team last year, and most of my teammates also left. Some went to higher-level leagues earlier than me, and some chose other paths."
Fernandez shook his head and then looked at Sun Hao.
"You haven't given up yet?"
Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, didn't answer, just smiled.
He still thinks about what Lal Tiji told him and what his parents said today.
He found that he did not let it go in the end, but just chose to put it aside.
Maybe this is first love!
Or maybe, compared to whether they could rekindle their past relationship, what he actually wanted to know more was why.
Why did Joseline leave him her email address but never reply to any of his emails?
Why didn't Joseline try to find him after two years of no contact?
Human curiosity is always the strongest.
"I have a feeling you'll meet again."
Fernandez's love expert attributes are back.
Sun Hao put away his smile and looked at him in confusion.
"Jocelyn is American, right?"
Fernandez then asked.
Sun Hao nodded.
He had not been in contact with Josephine for a long time, but because their relationship developed quickly, he still knew some of Josephine's situation.
Her mother is Danish and her father is Jewish-American, living in Los Angeles.
"Your progress is amazing. I think you can participate in the NBA draft this year."
Fernandez went on to say that he was the person who witnessed Sun Hao complete the triple jump and also witnessed Sun Hao complete a series of achievements.
In other words, he is the one who truly knows how great Sun Hao's potential is.
This sentence immediately reminded Sun Hao.
There is a high probability that he will go to play in the NBA. The NBA is in the United States.
If fate allows, they will meet again.
Even after Fernandez said this, he was eager to play in the United States.
…
State Sports Administration.
Li Yuanwei was holding a newspaper, deep in thought.
This is a freshly published sports weekly, and the person who wrote this report is still Su Qun.
The headline of the news is just as eye-catching as last time.
"When did CBA become the NBA?"
An MVP of the highest level European competition, a man who defeated the current European emperor Bodiroga, a groundbreaking Asian guard, but he was unable to play in the CBA.
When did CBA become the NBA, with such high requirements for guards?
Or is it simply because he is not tall enough?
After reading the first few sentences of this article, Li Yuanwei felt that this man named Su Qun was a talented person.
It hits the soul directly.
The last time he watched "Europe's Strongest 175", it made him reflect.
This time, Sun Hao's performance was explosive and he has become the MVP of the Champions League.
Even if he wants to be an ostrich, others are definitely not blind.
He put the newspaper down and picked up the phone.
…
When he woke up the next day, Sun Hao found himself sitting on the toilet. His waist was sore, his throat was sore, and his butt was a little sore...
It looks like he sat on the toilet all night last night.
He stood up with the help of the wall, patted his still dizzy head, and washed his face with cold water.
It is said that drinking is a gradual process, and you drink more each time.
But as far as he is concerned, it seems that he will never have any chance to drink alcohol in this life.
He came out of the bathroom and saw Fernandez still sleeping next to the trash can, and couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, the cell phone rang.
Sun Hao staggered over and found that it was Yi Jianlian calling.
Although the two people are thousands of miles apart, they still have a way to contact each other.
Sun Hao won the MVP of the Champions League semi-finals, and Yi Jianlian must have called to congratulate him.
It's just that because of the distance of thousands of miles, it takes time for the message to be transmitted.
The two chatted about this happy thing and talked about Yi Jianlian's recent situation.
Yi Jianlian has been selected for the national youth team and will represent the country in next year's U15 Men's Basketball World Championship.
"Wait, U15?"
Knowing that Yi Jianlian is developing very well in China, Sun Hao is happy for him, but what the hell is U15?
Yi Jianlian is 16 years old now.
"Yes, the coach asked me to change my age to one year younger. That's how it's done here. It will allow me to achieve better results and prepare for joining the first team in the future."
Yi Jianlian didn't think there was anything wrong.
Sun Hao suddenly remembered something in his mind: changing his age.
Just like the one-size-fits-all approach based on height mentioned above, this is a bad problem in domestic basketball in this era.
In order to achieve good results, the older children changed their ages to compete with the younger children. However, when the other children grew up, they could no longer beat them.
Another disadvantage of doing this is that many players are at their peak and are about to be used, but they retire within two years.
In his previous life, these things were gradually corrected only after Yao Ming became the chairman of the Basketball Association.
"Alian, have you ever thought about coming to Europe to play basketball?"
Sun Hao has no ability to change the current situation, but he can try to change Yi Jianlian.
"I... haven't thought about it yet."
Sun Hao asked so suddenly that Yi Jianlian was unable to react.
"But Brother Hao, if you let me go, I can ask my parents."
Yi Jianlian really regards Sun Hao as his elder brother.
"Sure, don't be too anxious. If they disagree, you can try to talk it over slowly."
Sun Hao was still dizzy at the moment and only put forward a hypothesis.
Yi Jianlian has not yet officially entered the system, so it is possible to let him jump out of the domestic circle. As for whether to come to Europe to play like him, or go to the United States to play in advance, these are all things that can be considered.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Hao walked to the window and opened it.
A gust of wind blew in and I sobered up immediately.
He turned around to make a cup of coffee, and just as he was about to drink it, his cell phone rang again.
I picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and it was an international long-distance call from within China.
There was also a missed call, probably because he was talking to Yi Jianlian and the line was busy.
An unfamiliar number called him twice in a row, and he hesitated before picking up the phone.
"Xiao Sun, I'm Li Yuanwei, do you remember me?"
As soon as the phone was picked up, a polite voice came from the other end.
Li Yuanwei, of course Sun Hao remembers him.
Five years ago, it was he and Yang Wei who lost the opportunity to play in the C BA with Yi Jianlian.
"Is there a problem?"
Sun Hao's tone was very calm, so calm that it contained no emotion at all, even indifference.
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a hearty laugh.
"I have to apologize. I misjudged you five years ago. You can indeed play professionally."
Li Yuanwei’s next words stunned Sun Hao for a moment.
He didn't expect that Li Yuanwei would admit that he had slapped himself in the face!
"And your story made me reflect on our selection system. I think the one-size-fits-all approach based on height is not a good thing. Although I don't have the power to change this now, I will try."
What Li Yuanwei said next was something Sun Hao was totally surprised about.
Li Yuanwei, extraordinary!
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely feel resentful after being slapped in the face, and then he would intensify his efforts to suppress him.
Just like what he knew about Ma Jian, I know you can do it, but I won’t even give you a chance.
But Li Yuanwei not only apologized, but also reflected...
Sun Hao was a little confused.
He came to Europe to play basketball and was determined to enter the NBA in the next draft, telling Li Yuanwei and Yang Wei in a compelling voice.
He can play professionally!
But now, before the five-year agreement was up, he had already done it ahead of time.
Should he say now, I feel so lonely?
"What do you want from me?"
The same words, but Sun Hao's tone was different from before.
Li Yuanwei over there also heard it.
"I want you to return to the CBA to play. I can help you contact the team. If you still want to go to Hongyuan, I can guarantee it now."
Return to CBA? Return to Guangdong Hongyuan?
That means Sun Hao can play with Yi Jianlian immediately and fulfill the original agreement to play with Yi Jianlian.
He can wear his No. 6 jersey again and play on the court with Yi Jianlian who wears No. 9 jersey.
only……
Water flows to low places, and people go to high places.
The overall level of CBA is definitely not as good as that of Europe. It is okay as a starting point for a career, but not as a transit point.
"I'll think about it and contact you when I have made a decision after the season."
However, Sun Hao did not refuse immediately.
On the one hand, it was because of what Li Yuanwei had said before.
On the other hand, and more importantly, the five-year contract is over, and he should plan his future career well.
