Volume 1: The Road to the European Emperor Chapter 71: Farewell
Sun Hao dreamed sweetly and slept sweetly.
But the next day, he was awakened by knocking on the door again.
This time he shouted directly.
"it's me!"
However, a familiar voice came from outside the door, and his anger disappeared immediately.
Fernandez is at it again.
Sun Hao threw off the quilt and got up from the bed, then ran to open the door with a smile.
"Any new tapes?"
He is now thinking about the video recordings of the remaining games of the Western Conference Finals.
If not...the finals is fine too.
The door opened and Fernandez was holding a videotape in his hand.
"Mr. Sabonis has returned to his country, and I asked him for the video of Game 7."
After Fernandez said this, Sun Hao wanted to kiss him on the face.
What good brothers!
Taking out the coffee and melon seeds, the two of them started looking at them again.
As soon as the recording started, Sun Hao and Fernandez were drawn in.
Just as Sun Hao had found out before, the Lakers were leading 3-1, but were caught up to 3-3 and their morale was completely gone.
You can feel it from the expressions on the players' faces and the emotions of the fans at the scene.
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers played in a confusing manner, frequently missing shots from the outside and making constant mistakes.
Moreover, at this point in the series, the Trail Blazers have also learned how to defend O'Neal. Sabonis goes around the front and double-teams him from both sides at any time.
The Lakers' outside shooting was inaccurate and they were unable to create space, so they were completely on the defensive.
Seven minutes into the first quarter, the score was 19 to 9!
The Trail Blazers took a double-digit lead in the first quarter!
It was a very representative scene. O'Neal received the ball and was unable to move freely in the crowded interior, so he was intercepted by Pippen. Rasheed Wallace followed up with a fast break and dunked the ball with one hand. After the dunk, he beat his chest and roared at the audience. The Staples Center was silent.
Without a shooter who could make shots and unable to create space in the paint, the Lakers became increasingly weaker.
At this time, Sun Hao really wanted to rush to the Lakers players and shout: You really need me!
After three quarters, the Lakers were trailing by a full 15 points.
This is a game that is almost impossible to reverse.
But historical results tell them that the Lakers won this game.
Generally speaking, a game where the outcome is known seems less appealing.
This is similar to how most people prefer to watch live broadcasts rather than recorded videos.
But this game was just the opposite. Because they knew the result, the two players were looking forward to the last quarter.
Soon, they knew the man who made the difference in the game.
Not O'Neal, but Kobe!
In this quarter, O'Neal was still lost in the defense, but Kobe yelled, threw away the hammer in his hand, and put on his purple cloak.
Peter Pan appears at the Staples Center.
Fast break after stealing the ball, three-point shot from the outside, mid-range shot, and a mid-range turnaround and fade away!
Kobe proved with facts that it’s not that he is iron, but because he was in Portland before and now he is in Los Angeles, he has revealed his cards!
In this quarter, he scored 15 points and led the team to a single-quarter score of 31 to 13!
And at the last moment, he broke into the inside and passed the ball back to O'Neal during the double-team.
O'Neal killed the game with a slam dunk.
89 to 84!
The Lakers completed a 15-point reversal and won the seventh game!
After watching the game, Sun Hao and Fernandez were both extremely excited.
"I finally understand why you want to go to the NBA. I want to go too."
After watching the game, Fernandez expressed such emotion.
NBA is really something to look forward to!
"Then you have to work hard. I'll be waiting for you in the NBA."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
Fernandez nodded, but at this moment, his expression suddenly became a little conflicted.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Hao looked at him puzzledly.
"I may not be able to accompany you to the draft, because Mr. Sabonis said he wants to coach me in training, you know..."
"What a good thing! What are you thinking about! Go, go quickly!"
Sun Hao thought it was something else. Sabonis was willing to teach Fernandez, and it was the latter's honor.
As for his draft pick, it doesn’t really matter whether he’s on the field or not.
"I will work hard to make it to the NBA."
Fernandez nodded and said with a firm look.
"Of course."
Sun Hao said this and stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, bumping it with Fernandez.
This was another promise he made.
But he was 100% sure that he would fulfill this promise.
Before leaving, Sun Hao went to say goodbye to his teammates, and also invited Prigioni and Gabayosa to his home for another meal.
This is what they owe because Beckham snubbed them last time.
In order to make the two of them remember it deeply, he specially cooked spicy dishes this time.
Hot and sour shredded potatoes, spicy chicken, tiger skin green peppers, and spicy perfume fish.
Among them, Sun Hao had never tried the spicy fragrant fish before, so he searched online and made it according to the instructions.
The two of them were in tears while eating. This experience was truly unforgettable. They might still have pain in their anus when they go back.
After eating, Sun Hao said goodbye to them and went to the airport.
The flight was still more than an hour away, and he was sitting in the waiting hall playing Snake out of boredom.
As he was playing, suddenly two tall figures appeared in front of him.
When he looked up, he saw two figures, one tall and one fat .
Fat Monk and Thin Monk...
Oh no, it's Gasol Jr. and Gasol Jr.
Sun Hao was very surprised to see the two of them.
Because he didn't tell them that he was leaving Spain.
"My brother has some friendship with Coach Lazo, who used to coach the Barcelona youth team."
Gasol said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gasol kicked him in the calf.
"Ah, no, I asked. I have a good relationship with that guy, Prigioni and Gabayosa."
Gasol was forced to change his words.
Sun Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing. These two brothers looked really funny when they were together.
When Sun Hao smiled, Gasol turned around and rolled his eyes at Gasol Jr.
Gasol looked aggrieved, this was clearly the fact.
His brother is so hypocritical!
"Are you sure you want to run?"
After sitting down, Gasol asked.
Sun Hao nodded. He had already decided on this and would not consider withdrawing from the election.
"Mark, go get some food."
Gasol suddenly turned around and said.
Gasol was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong. When he was sure it was true, he jumped up excitedly and disappeared at the speed of wind.
What a flexible little fat boy.
“I should go next year too.”
After Gasol Jr. left, Gasol Sr. finally spoke.
He probably had something to say that he didn't want his brother to hear.
"Don't you still have a contract?"
Sun Hao knew that according to history, Gasol would run for the draft next year, but he didn’t know the reason.
Gasol will only be 20 years old next year, which is very early in Europe.
You should know that the Turkoglu that Sun Hao met before all ran for election at the age of 21.
"I will talk to management, and if we can't come to an agreement, I will have to pay out of my own pocket."
Gasol seems to have been planning for a long time.
"Are you in such a hurry to find me in the NBA?"
Sun Hao wanted to tease Gasol.
Gasol was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"It's because of my brother."
After laughing, he went on to explain the reason.
Sun Hao looked at Gasol in confusion.
"He's too lazy here. He needs a new environment. Otherwise, if he continues like this, his career path will end before it even begins."
Gasol looked helpless when he said this.
"You're going to take Mark with you to America?"
Sun Hao was a little surprised. Was he really going to tie his brother to himself?
"Yes, no matter where I go next year, he will follow me. When our parents are not around, he will have no choice but to listen to me."
Gasol said this with a firm attitude.
Sun Hao had a complicated expression.
Gasol really dotes on his younger brother !
It's a pity for Gasol Jr. He went to buy food happily just now, but he didn't know how miserable his future would be.
Just as I was thinking about it, Gasol Jr. came back with a lot of hot dogs and hamburgers in his hands.
I guess if you throw him in a secret room and give him enough food, he can stay there for a year.
From this perspective, Gasol did nothing wrong.
Time passed quickly during the chat. Sun Hao's plane was about to arrive, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Our agreement has not ended yet. Wait for me in the NBA. I will come for revenge."
Before leaving, Gasol spoke.
Sun Hao nodded.
But he knew in his heart that if Gasol was selected by the Grizzlies next year as in the past, he would continue to be beaten by him.
Eat, sleep and beat your sister-in-law?
Sounds good too.
Gasol reached out and bumped fists with Sun Hao, then left.
"Don't listen to my brother. You can beat him up in the NBA anyway."
Gasol Jr. walked slower, came over and whispered to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
These two brothers are really unique.
"mark!"
Feeling that his younger brother was not keeping up, Gasol turned around and shouted.
Gasol Jr. stopped smiling, turned around and followed.
After walking a few steps, he turned back and mouthed what he had just said to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao smiled as he watched the two people disappear into the terminal hall. He calmed himself down, put on his bag, and entered the boarding gate.
Waiting for the plane to roar into takeoff from Madrid Barajas Airport.
Looking at Madrid getting smaller outside the window, Sun Hao felt filled with emotion.
In the blink of an eye, he has lived in this city for three years.
This place can be regarded as his second hometown after traveling through time.
Fernandez, Prigioni, Gabayosa, Gasol brothers, Ginobili, Raul, Beckham...
A lot of people here have already contacted him.
Although leaving now does not mean that they will never see each other again in the future, his trip to Europe will come to an end for the time being.
He finally withdrew his gaze from the window, took out the thermos cup of wolfberry tea, and then opened the Lakers' triangle tactics manual that had been printed long ago.
Next, it’s time for him to knock on the door of the NBA!
