Chapter 60 60. Continue to fool the fat man
"Ace, did you accompany Dinah to a parent-child event today? You love her so much, you treat her like your own daughter." Alexia joked.
"If I can have such a beautiful daughter, how beautiful my wife is, probably only a beautiful girl like you can neutralize my genes."
"Hey... You're joking again, but I'm really happy to hear it! You can take Dinah in first, Dinah can find the classroom, and I have to pick up other students, and I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, see you later, senior."
"Goodbye, Teacher Aida..."
After Dinah finished speaking, she dragged Liu Mang to the classroom.
Liu Mang felt very strange, it seemed that little Lolita Dinah didn't like talking too much with Alexia.
However, it is quite a distance from the gate of this school to the classrooms. The corrupt American emperor is as big as an elementary school.
Seeing a lot of well-dressed parents, Liu Mang was very glad that Dinah forced him to wear formal clothes. He changed into the suit worth thousands of dollars that Coach Kruger gave him during the draft, otherwise he would wear a T-shirt, cotton jacket and jeans It's too embarrassing, although there is still a big gap between this suit of thousands of dollars and those other parents who know it is custom-made clothes at a glance, but at least there is no such thing as too embarrassing.
When we arrived at the classroom, there were already many people in it. There were more than 20 students in Dinah's class, including the parents, there were already about 30 people.
As soon as he entered the classroom, a little fat man rushed over.
"Ace! You are finally here! You come and tell them, tell my dad, I am not lying, you said I will be a superstar in the future!"
Liu Mang was taken aback. He looked at the little fat man who was grabbing his trouser leg. If the other party was not a child, he really wanted to kick him away. The expectant look in his eyes was full of affection!
Seeing other students and parents in the classroom looking at him, Liu Mang looked at the little fat man again, and suddenly remembered what Dinah said, and started to smile badly.
Liu Mang showed a blank expression: "This classmate, who are you?"
The little fat German Booker, who was expecting to "prove himself", was dumbfounded.
"Ace! We met last week! You forgot? You you you you..." Devin Booker couldn't speak clearly.
"Haha, Devon, Ace is joking with you." A muscular man in his thirties came over and smiled.
It should be the father of the little fat man, because this uncle looks so much like Devin Booker, just like the little fat man more than ten years later, Liu Mang put away his joking expression and said: "Hello, are you Is Devon's father? I'm Dinah's Godfather, and I will participate in parent-child activities with her today."
"Hello, my name is Melvin Booker, Devin's father. I just think of Ace, you are only 19 years old, how could you have such an old daughter." Booker, who is one size older, laughed.
"Melvin Booker, 30 years old, undrafted in 1994, got a short contract with the Rockets and Nuggets, joined the Serie A in 1996, returned to the NBA in 2000 and got a short contract with the Heat, and is now a free agent."
The system popped up suddenly, and introduced the information of Devin Booker's father to Liu Mang.
No wonder later Devin Booker was so powerful. It turned out that he had a father who was an NBA player. He had good genes, and because his father was not a star, he was not as rich as Jordan. He would not be like Jordan’s son. motivation to struggle.
This is probably the reason why it is difficult for the offspring of superstars to get a star, but the reason why it is easier for the offspring of ordinary players to get a star.
Knowing the information of Devin Booker's father, Liu Mang made a look of sudden realization: "Melvin? Oh, I remembered, you played for the Heat last year, and I just saw your game."
"It's a great honor. I'm not as good as you. I've played for so long, and I don't have as many points as you in a few games."
"Of course, I was the best rookie."
"Haha, you are different from other Chinese people, you are not humble at all." Melvin Booker was not angry and laughed.
"I think your son will be better than you in the future, and he looks more confident than you." Liu Mang also knew that he should be more direct when talking to these black people, otherwise others will think that you look down on them.
"Of course, my son will definitely enter the NBA in the future, and he must be more promising than me. At that time, you may still be able to play against each other in the NBA. I will not be able to. I will return to Europe next month to find a job. I may not have the opportunity to meet you. It's a pity to match up on the court." Melvin Booker laughed at himself.
"It's not bad to go to Europe, they give you a lot of money..."
"That's right, you can go to Europe to seek gold when you get older, except for Yugoslav players whose standards are really average..."
After chatting for a while, seeing other parents coming, the two of them were about to return to their seats, and they should have breakfast soon.
At this time, the little fat man pulled Liu Mang pitifully and asked, "Ace, you said that I would become a football star in the future, right?"
"Yes, but you are too fat. You must not practice shooting all the time. If you keep shooting, you will become a superstar!" Liu Mang continued to fool.
"I got it! From now on, I'll keep shooting basketball!" The little fat man was immediately amused, and went to show off to his classmates after speaking.
"Uncle, you are so bad, you lied to that fat man again." Dinah Xiaoluoli said.
"Maybe this little fat man will really become a star in the future."
"Dinah doesn't believe it..."
...
Parent-child activities are actually very simple. Eat breakfast together. Breakfast is a bit troublesome. The United States is also a big Christian country. You have to pray before breakfast. Liu Mang has never prayed, so he just closes his eyes and listens to other people, and moves his mouth symbolically.
After breakfast, the morning is to accompany the lectures.
The things taught in elementary schools in the United States are really simple, that is, storytelling, teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and manual lessons.
During this period, Liu Mang found that many parents who looked like local rich men were assigned to discuss business matters together. Most of them were like this. It seems that only he and Devin Booker's father, Melvin Booker Gram did not form a clique.
Thinking about it, Liu Mang also thought it was normal. The two of them were probably the poorest in this classroom, and the others were either rich or expensive. They were definitely not as enthusiastic about these two young athletes as their children.
Compared to Liu Mang who signed autographs for several children, those parents are very cold.
But what can I do? A sports star looks great, but he has not reached the level of a superstar. In the eyes of many rich people, he is just a physical worker with strong limbs and a simple mind. He eats young food and has a low level of education. , Many universities have not finished.
Liu Mang didn't get angry when he guessed their state of mind, it was purely helpless, you can't control what others think, right?
