The celebration on the scene came to a temporary end, and Sun Hao stopped when he saw that his teammates had stopped chasing him.
It was at this moment that he saw Gasol walk over and pull Navarro up.
Navarro lay in Gasol's arms, and Gasol reached out and patted his back.
At this time, Lazo also walked to Sun Hao, and after attracting his attention, he reached out and gave him a big hug.
He had been told before that Sun Hao was going to run for the NBA, which meant that he only had this support for two years.
Although it is a bit regrettable, Sun Hao helped Real Madrid complete the Grand Slam this year, which is more important than anything else.
Sun Hao also hugged Lazo with gratitude.
Although Lazo's coaching ability is not as good as Yannakis, Blatt and others, being good at discovering players' abilities is also an ability.
In other words, Lasso was his mentor and teacher in Europe.
"Coach, I want to invite you to the draft."
Sun Hao extended an invitation to Lazo.
Although it is still unknown what order he will be selected or whether he will be selected at all, Sun Hao's words are a kind of gratitude and confidence.
"Yes, I will definitely go."
Lasso was happy, even excited.
The NBA draft is one of the most important moments in a player's career. Sun Hao invited him, which is the greatest respect.
Having coached Sun Hao, he knows Sun Hao's potential.
Perhaps in the future, when Sun Hao becomes famous, the photo of him and Sun Hao at the draft will become the highlight moment of his life.
The two teams then began their final handshake, and the players were called together.
Sun Hao shook hands with the Barcelona players one after another.
When it was Gasol's turn, Gasol didn't rush to shake his hand, but looked at him directly and asked a question.
"What did your opening gesture mean?"
Sun Hao was a little slow to react when asked, and only remembered it after Gasol made the OK gesture.
"Our agreement. I thought you told me this with your eyes."
Sun Hao replied.
Gasol was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
He didn't expect Sun Hao meant that.
With this smile, the iceberg between the two seemed to melt instantly.
They were originally book friends who had a good chat.
Now that the game is over, all the grudges on the field are no longer important.
“Will you go to the NBA?”
There is no wall that is impenetrable. So many NBA scouts looked for Sun Hao, and Sun Hao even participated in the joint tryout.
Even if Gasol didn't know all of this, he must have heard some rumors.
"And you?"
Sun Hao did not answer directly, but asked Gasol in return.
He knew that Gasol had only run for the draft in 2001, but it was unknown whether his involvement now would trigger a butterfly effect.
Although from the perspective of being defeated by him, Gasol will most likely play for another year.
"I will continue to fight."
Gasol's answer was the same as Sun Hao expected.
"I will go."
Sun Hao didn't hide anything from Gasol.
"I guessed it. You are already the king of Europe."
Gasol said with a wry smile.
He and Sun Hao finally fulfilled their agreement, but he was the loser.
Now that Sun Hao has gone to the NBA, he has no chance of winning it back.
"Paul, every encounter is a reunion after a long separation."
Sun Hao said with a smile, he had more or less guessed what Gasol was thinking.
But Gasol will go to the NBA sooner or later, and they will definitely meet again.
"This is a very philosophical statement, just like what Zhou Shuren said."
Gasol also replied with a smile.
The iceberg melted, and the two people seemed to have returned to the time when they first met three years ago and started talking about literature.
After talking with Sun Hao, Gasol went back to the locker room with his teammates.
When he left, he was still comforting Navarro, and he seemed very understanding.
Sun Hao was watching when suddenly a chubby figure came into his sight.
Gasol Jr.!
This guy is elusive.
“You are really amazing!”
Gasol couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Your brother lost, so why don't you comfort him?"
Sun Hao retracted his gaze and couldn't help but ask when he saw Gasol's expression.
"He doesn't need my comfort. He is better at comforting others. Paul has a heart as hard as rock."
Sun Hao was stunned when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that Gasol was quite pitiful.
In order to help his younger brother grow up, he pretends to be strict even though he has a gentle personality. Maybe he plays tough on the court just to show his younger brother.
As a result, he became a heartless person in his brother's eyes.
He didn't say anything else about you going to comfort your brother.
No matter what the process was like, the final result in history was that Gasol Jr. became a big white bear, played tough, played center for a while and won a championship.
Gasol's hard work finally paid off.
"You are really amazing. When are you going to go to the NBA?"
What Sun Hao didn't expect was that his younger brother asked the same question as his older brother.
Sun Hao looked at Gasol Jr. Why are these two brothers so concerned about whether he will go to the NBA?
"I will go."
Sun Hao gave the same answer in the end.
"I knew it! You're already the king of Europe, you should go to NBA !"
They are indeed brothers, and their reactions are similar.
It's just that Gasol Jr. looks more excited.
“Am I the king of Europe?”
Sun Hao asked back.
When Pau Gasol said this, he didn't have time to think about it. Now Pau Gasol said it again. He was asking Pau Gasol as well as himself.
"You are not someone who is not you. You are 18 years old. You are the Champions League champion, the Champions League MVP, the La Liga champion, and the MVP is likely to be yours."
It turns out that Gasol Jr. has always been brought up by his brother. Although he has not played professionally, he knows a lot about these things.
Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the choice given by the system.
[European Jordan]: He continued to play in the European league and played even better. He won the MVP of the Champions League regular season and semi-finals, the MVP of the La Liga regular season and semi-finals, and became the most impressive man in Europe and a true European emperor.
All he lacks to accomplish this mission is actually the regular season MVP.
The "King of Europe" badge is designed to enhance influence and voice among European players.
But on the other hand, without this badge, does he have no influence or voice among European players given his current performance?
Really not.
Historically, Doncic was only one year older than him when he went to the NBA, but he was very respected by European players.
In competitive sports, influence and voice are earned through one’s own efforts.
He has already fought back now.
He doesn't really need this badge.
Thinking of this, Sun Hao suddenly felt a little happy.
I originally chose [Little Emperor], and I feel a little disappointed that I can’t get the “King of Europe” badge.
But now it seems that he has taken them all?
"Mark, what are you doing here? Your brother is looking for you."
Just then, a Barcelona player came over and called out to Gasol Jr.
When Gasol heard the voice, his smiling face turned into a bitter one, and he walked away with his head lowered and his head pulled together, like a captured prisoner.
However, halfway through the walk, he secretly turned around to look at Sun Hao and smiled at him.
My brother is really funny.
Sun Hao also responded with a smile.
Now that we have won the La Liga championship and become the king of Europe, the first step has been successful.
Next, he will work hard to complete the final tryout and start his journey to become the Little Emperor!
After a while, an award ceremony was held on site, and the MVP award was also presented.
Sun Hao had 22 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the semifinals and 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in the finals.
After two games, he averaged 19.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game, and was elected MVP of the La Liga semi-finals.
When Sun Hao lifted the MVP trophy, the Real Madrid fans who stayed at the scene were already in an uproar.
As the double MVP of the Champions League and La Liga, Sun Hao’s title of European Emperor has been confirmed.
And looking back at history, there have been many European emperors, but none as young as Sun Hao.
An 18-year-old double MVP!
In the eyes of European fans, he is a genius that only appears once in decades!
Moreover, after playing for the past two years, Sun Hao's playing style has also been recognized by European fans.
Apart from anything else, the popularity is absolutely amazing.
After the award ceremony, Sun Hao celebrated with his teammates and met a few new scouts outside the locker room.
Heat, Bulls, Clippers.
These teams have one thing in common: they all had high draft picks in this year's draft, including the second round.
Take the Bulls as an example. They have the 3rd, 4th and 5th picks in the second round this year.
Although an invitation to a tryout does not mean that he will definitely be selected, this sign already shows one thing: Sun Hao's draft stock is improving.
The achievements he made were unprecedented, and even though he was a European guard, NBA scouts paid more attention to him than anyone else.
This makes Sun Hao full of confidence for the upcoming draft.
After returning to the apartment and lying on the bed, Sun Hao tossed and turned, suffering from insomnia.
Because the draft is very close, he has to return to China tomorrow, stay for a while and then go to the United States immediately.
Before that, he had to think about where he really wanted to go.
The decision on the draft lies in the hands of NBA teams, but that doesn't mean he can't have a favorite team.
This even relates to his next tryout arrangements.
Because time is tight, the more he likes the team, the earlier he has to arrange it, otherwise he will not be able to catch up and miss it.
The Lakers will definitely be his first target for a tryout.
The draft promise Burtka gave was his bottom line.
If the opponent is an old fox like Riley, the draft promises may not be reliable, but Burtka is different. He is a godfather-level figure and is more likely to do what he says.
And there's nothing wrong with playing next to the OK combination.
At this time, the Lakers' starting point guard was Ron Harper, Phil Jackson's former teammate on the Bulls.
It is said that Robert Horry is the best at winning championships, and this guy is no less inferior. He has 5 championship rings, all of which were won by following the Zen Master. He is comparable to a royal guard.
Harper was trained to be the core of the team in his early years, but after being injured, he had to transform into a role player, a pure defensive point guard.
In history, this guy announced his retirement in 2001.
In other words, if he goes to the Lakers, Sun Hao will have a chance to compete for the starting lineup after one year.
This is a huge opportunity for him.
In the long run, he can also learn from McGrady.
After the rookie period, when your skills are honed, you can just pack up and leave.
Besides the Lakers, the Mavericks are his second favorite team.
The reason is simple: Dirk Nowitzki.
During the previous joint tryout, Sun Hao experienced what it was like to play with Turkoglu.
Turkoglu is happy;
In terms of strength, Nowitzki is a super enhanced version of Turkoglu, and the happiness will be super doubled.
Moreover, Nowitzki in history had a very good personality, and we all played in Europe.
It couldn't be a more perfect combination.
And the Mavericks' second pick in the second round is also very high.
Although he didn't get a draft commitment, it would be a good result if he could go to Dallas.
The Bulls were his third target.
Chicago is a big city with a large Chinese population, so playing basketball there will greatly increase his popularity.
Of course, what is more important than this is opportunity.
Putting aside the fact that the Bulls have so many draft picks this year, Chicago has been a complete ruin since Jordan retired and Pippen left.
The former royal city has become a ruin and only a new king can rebuild it.
There is no place more suitable for the little emperor to ascend the throne.
His playing style is also the core playing style. The more opportunities he has, the faster the system badges will upgrade.
Becoming the new Chicago totem after Jordan, the picture is beautiful just to think about.
The Jazz are his fourth target.
Although the Jazz did not come to Europe to offer him a tryout opportunity, it does not mean that the Jazz has no chance with him.
Not all teams have European scouts.
The best fit between him and the Jazz is naturally the pick-and-roll.
His three pick-and-roll badges are already at the silver level. If he goes to the Jazz, his proficiency will definitely increase.
And Jerry Sloan is not Larry Brown. He likes to coach players with high basketball IQ.
Of course, the most important point is the same as before, Stockton is about to retire.
If history continues, the Jazz will experience a brief period of underestimation, and then welcome the fat boy Deron Williams who "eats, sleeps and plays 58."
But if he goes, history will naturally be rewritten because of him.
The little emperor of Utah beat Houston, isn’t it great?
