Legend of Tomorrow

After the championship parade, the Big Three of the Lakers not only made sports news headlines together, but also made a lot of entertainment news because the singles they released were of such high quality that they moved countless fans.

Guo Xu, the songwriter and lead singer, stole the show. No fans will say that he betrayed the Lakers for a high salary, even fake fans who don't understand NBA signing and contract renewal rules.

Everyone was shocked to be able to write such a soulful song. How deep is Guo Xu's affection for the Lakers? How painful would it be for him to know he couldn't renew his contract?

Sometimes, people like a song not because it sounds good, nor the lyrics that are truly moving, but because the story behind the song resonates with people.

SeeYou Again soon began to be active in the streets of many countries. Fans expressed regret, sadness, and blessings for Guo Xu's departure, but no one felt resentful.

Guo Xu felt at ease when copying this song, and he was not afraid of the original one coming out to sue him. The two original singers are just brats now. Especially Charlie Puth, who has a broken eyebrow, is only 12 years old and a primary school student.

With Guo Xu here, nothing will happen to Paul Walker. The two have known each other for a long time in Los Angeles. They have become good friends because they talked about cars, and they occasionally have dinner together during holidays. Guo Xu has warned Paul many times before that he must develop good habits. It is okay to watch drag racing or act in drag racing, but he should not do it himself.

The Billboard Hot 100 is considered the most authoritative singles chart in the United States. Chart rankings are determined by the sum of record sales in the United States and the number of times a single is played on the radio. Because the song's performance comes from the fans' choices, being able to top the Billboard singles chart is a great honor for the singer.

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

As a result, in the second week after the song written by Guo Xu was released, O'Neal topped the list of the Billboard.

Aopang was so happy that he almost went crazy. He called Guo Xu in the middle of the night. He was more excited than winning the NBA championship. He shouted into the phone: We are No. 1 on the bulletin board! No. 1!

Okay, we're first, but you don't have to be so loud to wake up the neighbors, right?

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

Now Guo Xu can go out and brag that he is 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'Neill because he knew how popular this song was in his previous life.

SeeYouAgain once topped the music charts in more than 20 countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and Germany. The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for a total of twelve weeks. In 2015, the song was nominated for Song of the Year, Best Pop Collaboration and Best Song for Film and Television at the 58th Grammy Awards. On July 10, 2017, the song MV surpassed Psy's Gangnam Style with 2.894 billion views and became the most viewed video on YouTube.

So, this is just the beginning, and more exciting things are yet to come. Not too surprising, Guo Xu will win some music awards next year for this, or at least be nominated.

The popularity of the song allowed Guo Xu to increase his popularity in an alternative way. All teams with salary space basically wanted to recruit him. He was the biggest fish in the free market in the summer of 2002.

Teams in small cities without star point guards hope that Guo Xu can join. With him, the team will definitely be profitable and attract a large number of fans.

Several strong teams that want to compete for the championship are also optimistic about Guo Xu and have contacted his agent Happy Waters. Because he not only has super high commercial value, but also has outstanding strength. His statistics are close to the 180 Club for two consecutive seasons, he has won the three-point contest, and is one of the most accurate shooting point guards. As long as he takes on more offensive tasks and takes more shots, almost everyone believes that his data will improve, and even if it declines, his shooting percentage will also decline.

On June 25, before the start of the NBA draft, 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, a little shy.

What's the matter? Just ask.

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

Schwartz is currently one of the top agents in the NBA. When he first met with Wang Zhizhi, he pointed out his two shortcomings: poor physical confrontation and lack of strength. The only way to strengthen these two shortcomings is to practice hard in the summer, not only to compete in the summer league, but also to hire a high-paying personal coach to start a small business.

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

Guo Xu replied: You must return to your country to play in the Asian Games. It is best to make this known to your country now and then go back. Note, I said you must, otherwise you will be finished.

Huh? Is it that serious?

Of course, those two Americans don't understand China's national conditions. Can you listen to their suggestions? I talked about this with Yao Ming when I was in China during the holiday last year. It is impossible for you to bypass the Basketball Association, especially since you are still a soldier. Don't you see the hidden dangers of doing this? Once the media exposes that you don't return to China, you may be expelled from the national team. If China bans you again, will you stay here and be an American? Guo Xu said in his previous life The results came out directly.

This... Wang Zhizhi became even more worried.

He expressed to his agent and assistant that if he rashly stayed in the United States to participate in the summer league without approval, he might anger the Chinese Basketball Association and the Bayi Men's Basketball Team, but the two people did not take this hidden danger to heart. I gave him a lot of legal examples, but he didn't know how serious they were.

In fact, those two people with purely American ideas simply could not understand how an athlete trained by the country and the military needs to give back to the collective.

Guo Xu continued: Also, the level of the summer league is very low. It is too low. There is no point in playing. The managers of each team do not admit this. It is very expensive for you to hire a personal coach yourself. No matter how high the quality of the sparring partners is, it will not be possible. With the level of NBA players, wouldn't it be better if you go back and use Yao Ming and Battle as free sparring partners?

Hearing what you said, I suddenly felt stupid.

Guo Xu smiled and said: You are quite stupid. Do you think your biggest advantage in the NBA is your skills? Your advantage is that you are a Chinese player. As long as Chinese fans support you and the media pays attention to you, you will have a high rate of exposure. and commercial value, don’t worry about having no ball to play with. But if you fall out with China, it’s over. It’s that simple, go back quickly.”

Thank you, I've thought about it.
