60. Continue to fool the little fat man

"Ace, are you accompanying Dinah to a parent-child event today? You love her so much that you treat her like your own daughter," Alexia joked.

"If I can have such a beautiful daughter, and how beautiful my wife is, probably only a beautiful girl like you, senior sister, can neutralize my genes."

"Hey...you're joking again, but you do sound happy! You can take Dinah in first. Dinah can find the classroom. I have to pick up other students and will talk to you later."

"Okay, see you soon, senior sister."

"Goodbye, Teacher Aida..."

After Dinah finished speaking, she pulled Liu Mang towards the classroom.

Liu Mang had a strange feeling. It seemed that little Loli Dinah didn't like him talking too much to Alexia.

However, it is quite far from the school entrance to the classroom. Corrupt American imperialism, a primary school is so big.

Seeing many well-dressed parents, Liu Mang was glad that Dinah forced him to wear formal clothes and put on the thousands-dollar suit that Coach Kruger gave him during the draft. Otherwise, he would wear a T-shirt, cotton-padded jacket and jeans.

It's so embarrassing. Although this suit costing several thousand dollars is still very different from other clothes that parents can tell are customized at a glance, at least it's not too embarrassing.

When we arrived at the classroom, there were already many people inside. There were more than 20 students in Dinah's class, and including parents, there were already about 30 people.

As soon as I entered the classroom, a little fat man rushed over.

"Ace! You're finally here! Come and tell them, tell my dad that I didn't lie. You said I would be a superstar in the future!"

Liu Mang was startled. He looked at the little fat man grabbing his trouser leg. If the other person was not a child, he would really want to kick him away. The look in his expectant eyes was so gay!

Seeing that other students and parents in the classroom were looking towards him, Liu Mang looked at the little fat boy again, suddenly remembered what Dinah said, and started to smile evilly in his heart.

Liu Mang showed a confused expression: "This classmate, who are you?"

The little fat guy Devin Booker, who was originally looking forward to "proving himself", was dumbfounded.

"Ace! We met last week! Did you forget? You, you, you, you..." Devin Booker couldn't speak clearly.

"Haha, Devin, Ace is kidding you." A muscular man in his 30s came over and smiled.

It should be the little fat man's father, 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, you are

Devin’s father? I’m Dinah’s godfather, and I’m participating in a parent-child activity with her today.”

"Hello, my name is Melvin Booker, Devin's father. I just thought that Ace, you are only 19 years old, how could you have such a big daughter." The older Booker smiled.

"Melvin Booker, 30 years old, was undrafted in 1994. He had short-term contracts with the Rockets and Nuggets. He joined Serie A in 1996. He returned to the NBA in 2000 and got a short-term contract with the Heat. He is now a free agent."

The system suddenly appeared and introduced Liu Mang to the information about Devin Booker's father.

No wonder Devin Booker was so good later. It turned out that he had a father who was an NBA player and had good genes. Moreover, since his father was not a star, he was not as rich as Jordan. He would not be as good as Jordan's son.

Motivation for struggle.

This is probably the reason why it is difficult for the descendants of superstars to produce a star, but it is easier for the descendants of ordinary players to produce stars.

After learning the information about Devin Booker's father, Liu Mang looked like he suddenly understood: "Melvin Ou, I remembered that you played for the Heat last year, and I happened to see your game."

"What an honor. I'm not as good as you. I've been playing for so long, but I still don't have as many points as you did in a few games."

"Of course, I'm 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 definitely be better than you in the future, and he seems to be more confident than you." Liu Mang also knew that he had to 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 will definitely be more promising than me. Maybe you can still play against each other in the NBA, but I won't be able to. I will go back to Europe next month to find a job, and I may not have the chance to meet you.

It's a pity to face each other on the court." Melvin Booker laughed at himself.

"It's not bad to go to Europe, they give a lot of money..."

"That's right, you can go to Europe to hunt for gold when you get older. Except for the Yugoslav players, their standards are really average..."

After chatting for a while, they saw other parents coming. The two of them were about to return to their seats. It would be time for breakfast soon.

At this time, the little fat man pulled Liu Mang pitifully and asked: "Ace, you said that I will become a star in the future, right?"

"Yes, but you are too fat. You must not have been practicing shooting. If you keep shooting, you will become a superstar!" Liu Mang continued to lie.

"I know! I will keep shooting when I play basketball from now on!" The little fat man suddenly became happy, and after saying that, he went to show off to his classmates.

"Uncle, you are so bad, you lied to that damn fat man again." Little Lolita Dinah said.

"Maybe this little fat guy will really become a star in the future."

"Dina doesn't believe it..."



The parent-child activity is actually very simple. Eat breakfast together, but breakfast is a bit troublesome. The United States is also a Christian country, and you have to pray before breakfast. Liu Mang didn't pray, so he closed his eyes and listened to what others said, moving his mouth symbolically.

After breakfast, we spent the morning attending classes.

In American elementary schools, the things taught are really simple, that is, telling stories, teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and also handicraft classes.

During this period, Liu Mang discovered that many parents who looked like rich people were all assigned to discuss business matters together. Most of them were like this. It seemed that only he and Devin Booker's father Melvin Booker were together.

Grams did not gather in cliques.

Thinking about it, Liu Mang thought it was normal. The two of them were probably the poorest people in this classroom. The others were either rich or noble. They were definitely not as enthusiastic about these two little athletes as their children.

Compared to Liu Mang who signed autographs for several children, those parents were very cold.

But what can we do? Sports stars look great, but they are not superstars. In the eyes of many rich people, they are just physical workers with well-developed limbs and simple minds. They are young people and their cultural level is basically not high.

, many universities have not been completed.

Liu Mang guessed their mentality and was not angry. He was simply helpless. You can't control what others think, right?
