Chapter 252 [First, think about it]

After the championship parade, the three Lakers not only made the headlines of sports news together, but also made a lot of entertainment news, because the singles they released were too high, which moved countless fans.

Guo Xu, the songwriter and lead singer, has been in the limelight. No fans will say that he betrayed the Lakers for a high salary, even if he is a pseudo-fan who does not understand the NBA signing and renewal rules.

Everyone was shocked. How deep does Guo Xu have to love the Lakers when he could write such a soulful song? How painful will he know when he can't renew his contract?

Sometimes, people like a song not because it sounds so good, nor is it really moving, but because the story behind the song can resonate with people.

"see you again" soon began to be active in the streets and alleys of many countries. Fans had regrets, sadness, and wishes for Guo Xu's departure, but no one felt resentful.

Guo Xu felt at ease when he copied this song, and he was not afraid of the original ones jumping out to sue him. The two original singers are now just kids. Especially Charlie Puss, who has broken eyebrows, is only 12 years old now and is a primary school student.

With Guo Xu here, Paul Walker won't have any trouble. The two have known each other in Los Angeles for a long time, and they have become good friends because they talk about cars and occasionally have dinner together during holidays. Guo Xu has warned Paul many times before that he should develop good habits. He can watch racing, but he can do it. He should not run around normally.

The Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart is considered to be the most authoritative singles chart in the United States. The results of the rankings are determined by the sum of the sales of records in the United States and the number of singles played on the radio. Because the results of the songs are all chosen by music fans, being able to top the Billboard Singles Chart is an unforgettable honor for singers.

O'Neal's dream is just to enter the top 100. He is thankful for being on the list. After all, there are too many singers who publish albums every year, and the quality of the title song is guaranteed. It is difficult for amateur singers to compete with professional singers.

As a result, in the second week of the song written by Guo Xu, O'Neal followed suit and topped the Billboard charts.

O'Pang was so happy that he was crazy. He called Guo Xu in the middle of the night. He was even more excited than winning the NBA championship. He shouted at the phone: "We are the first on the Billboard! First!"

"Okay, we're the first, but you don't have to wake up all your neighbors so loudly, right?"

O'Neal said excitedly: "I live in a villa and can't make any noise outsiders. Brother, you are simply a genius among geniuses. Even if you don't play basketball and sing, you are still a big star. If the Lakers don't renew their contract, you will definitely regret it in the future."

Now Guo Xu can go out and brag about being the best singer in the sports circle, but what does this have to do with the Lakers not renewing his contract? The Lakers are not a music company!

Although Guo Xu was happy, he was not as shocked as O'Neal, because he knew how popular this song in his previous life was.

"see you again" once topped the music rankings in more than 20 countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Germany, etc. On the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart, the song won a total of 12 weeks of championships. In 2015, the song was nominated for the 58th Grammy Awards "Song of the Year", "Best Popular Cooperation" and "Best Film and Television Song" awards. On July 10, 2017, the song MV surpassed Psy's "Gangnam Style" with 2.894 billion views, becoming the most viewed video of Youtube.

So, this is just the beginning, and the more amazing ones are still there. Not too much surprise, Guo Xu will win some music awards for this next year, and at least he will be nominated.

The popularity of the song allowed Guo Xu to increase his popularity in an alternative way. Any team with salary space basically wants to dig him into the team. He is the largest fish in the free market in the summer of 2002.

Small city teams without star point guards all hope that Guo Xu can join. With his team, he will definitely make a profit and attract a large number of fans' attention.

Several strong teams who want to compete for the championship are also optimistic about Guo Xu and contacted his agent Hapi Watels. Because he not only has super high commercial value, but also has outstanding strength. His data is close to the "180 Club" for two consecutive seasons, he has won the three-point competition championship, and is one of the most accurate point guards to shoot. As long as he undertakes more offensive tasks and increases his shots, almost everyone believes that his data will improve, and even if it drops, it will drop its hit percentage.

On June 25, before the NBA draft began, Guo Xu received a call from Wang Zhizhi.

"Hi, Dazhi, good afternoon."

"Hello, Guo Xu, I have something to ask you." Wang Zhizhi took the initiative to call Guo Xu for the first time, and was a little shy.

"What's the matter? Just ask."

Wang Zhizhi talked about his current situation. Mavericks will not renew his contract with him. His agent Jeff Schwartz and Chinese personal assistant Chen Weiming all suggested that he play in the summer league, while the Chinese side hoped that he would return home to prepare for the Asian Games. In March, his former Chinese agent Xia Song had already advised him, but he is still stranded in the United States.

Schwartz is one of the top NBA agents at present. When he met Wang Zhizhi for the first time, he pointed out his two shortcomings - poor physical confrontation and insufficient strength. The only way to strengthen these two shortcomings is to practice hard in summer, not only to compete in the summer league, but also to hire a high salary to "get a small job".

"Do you think I should go back to China or stay to play in the summer league?" Wang Zhizhi, who was hesitant, wanted to hear the stars' opinions.

Guo Xu replied: "You must go back to China to play the Asian Games. It is best to contact the country now to show this and then go back. Note that I mean you must, otherwise you will be finished."

"Ah? Is it so serious?"

"Of course, those two Americans don't understand China's national conditions. Can they listen to their suggestions? I talked to Yao Ming about this last holiday. You can't bypass the Basketball Association, especially if you are still a soldier, can't you see the hidden dangers of doing this? Once the media reveals that you don't return to China, you may be fired from the national team. China will ban you and you will stay here as an American in the future?" Guo Xu told the result of his previous life directly.

"This..." Wang Zhizhi was even more worried.

He told his agent and assistant that if he stayed rashly in the United States for the summer league without approval, he might anger the Chinese Basketball Association and the Bayi Men's Basketball Team, but the two of them did not take this hidden danger at all. They gave him a lot of legal examples, which made him unaware of.

In fact, those two purely American people cannot understand how an athlete trained by the state and the military needs to give back to the collective.

Guo Xu continued: "Also, the level of the summer league is very low, too low, and it doesn't make sense for you to play. The managers of each team do not admit this. You hire a personal coach yourself to consume a lot of money. No matter how high the quality of the sparring training is, it is impossible to have the level of NBA players. If you go back and use Yao Ming and Bater as free sparring training now, isn't it better than this?"

"I suddenly felt like I was stupid after hearing what you said."

Guo Xu smiled and said, "You are quite stupid. Do you think your biggest advantage in NBA is your football skills? Your advantage is your Chinese player status. As long as Chinese fans support you and the media pays attention to you, you will have a high exposure and commercial value, and you will not have to worry about not having a ball to play. But if you have a falling out with China, it's that simple, go back quickly."
