Legend of Tomorrow

The Suns' next game was on the road again. They defeated the Grizzlies by 6 points in overtime and won three consecutive games.

Stoudemire was unfortunately beaten by the Grizzlies' second-year player, Black Bear Zach Randolph. Stoudemire only had 14 points and 5 rebounds, and left the game with 6 fouls. Randolph scored 35 points. 12 rebounds and 2 assists.

When Randolph was in good form this year, he beat Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki. When he is not in good condition, he is like a defensive black hole, easily beaten by opponents, making the Grizzlies coaching staff love and hate him.

Although he is a bit fat, Randolph, who is 206cm tall and weighs 117kg, is very flexible and has delicate footwork. His speed in turning around from behind or facing the frame is excellent in the inside, which is very similar to O'Neal.

His offensive style is similar to Derrick Coleman when he first entered the league. He can break through with the ball and solve battles with layups and throws. He can also post up in the low post and turn around to shoot.

Stoudemire was about to go crazy being tortured by Fatty Lan. He obviously had the advantage in speed and jumping, but Fatty just turned and shot with him, and he just couldn't cover it. The fat man is even more annoying when facing the frame. He pulls farther to the outside. He takes the ball inside the three-point line and is three threats. When the opponent's defense is far away, he makes a pull-up jumper. He takes a step forward and breaks through with the ball.

Randolph's post-up in the low post is already considered a unique skill. He has strong upper body and a stable lower body. He can push hard with his back to reach a good position to catch the ball, turn around for a hook shot, or turn around for a step-back jump shot.

The Grizzlies, like the Suns, changed their coaches mid-season. Hubie Brown replaced Sidney Lowe. The Grizzlies immediately rose to prominence and their winning percentage increased significantly.

The team's main tactic is for others to pull apart, with Randolph playing in the low post, or both Randolph and Gasol pulling out to cover their teammates, creating space for the defender to break through, with Mike Miller, Mike Dunleavy, and Weis on the outside. Lee-Person caught the ball and made three shots.

The Grizzlies are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference and are expected to reach the playoffs. Randolph and Gasol formed the Memphis Twin Towers. Fatty Lan averaged 18 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.5%. Gasol also had 17.1 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 51%.

The Grizzlies' weakness is still the point guard. It's just that the general manager sent away Mike Bibby in exchange for Jason Williams, who shot only 38.5% from the field. His 12 points and 8 assists are pretty good. His organization has become more stable than when he was with the Kings, and he no longer pursues behind-the-back passes. However, on the defensive end, White Chocolate's performance is still very poor.

Guo Xu defeated Williams and scored 32 points and 15 assists, which was the key to the Suns' victory.

The next day, Guo Xu made headlines, not because of his outstanding performance in the competition, but because he received an official invitation to attend the 45th Grammy Awards to be held at Madison Square Garden in New York on February 23 this year. .

As the highest award in the music industry, the Grammy Awards represent the highest level of current pop music. Every year, they attract and invite entertainment stars from the United States and around the world to attend. Since there are so many young artists competing for this year's Grammy Awards, There are so many, so the winner of the grand prize is quite suspenseful.

People were surprised to find that Guo Xu might win the Grammy Award this year. There were no particularly good singles last year, and See You Again stood out.

With this single, Guo Xu won the American Teen Choice Award and the MTV Music Video Award last year. The MV shot by the Lakers' Big Three is very attractive. He has also received more than ten nominations for the MTV European Music Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Music Awards, etc. Although he did not win, he is still worthy of pride.

Guo Xu received two Grammy nominations, Best Single of the Year and Best New Artist of the Year. His main competitors are New York's new female singer Norah Jones and Canadian and French new female singer Avril Lavigne.

Guo Xu knew that he must be there to accompany the runners, and it was impossible for the judges to award the grand prize to a person like him who was playing tricks. And he knew that Norah Jones would sweep five awards and become a blockbuster. Her album E Away With Me has currently sold more than 15 million copies.

However, he decided to go to the Grammy Awards to join in the fun because he happened to be free at that time. During that time, the Suns were going on a road trip in the Eastern Conference. Their opponents were the Wizards, Celtics, and Knicks. On the day of the awards ceremony, he had a holiday and no game.

As early as before the start of the season, the league considered the possibility of Guo Xu participating in the Grammys and deliberately arranged this schedule. His song was a worldwide hit last summer, so it was a great publicity stunt.

The organizer called Guo Xu and expressed the hope that he could sing at the awards ceremony, submit to the program for selection in advance, and cover other people's classic songs.

Guo Xu definitely couldn't sing his own song. O'Neal's voice couldn't be used to sing live, and he had to struggle in the studio for a long time. The Grammys will not invite O'Neal and Kobe because this year the media exposed conflicts between the OK group, and the three of them getting together will not be as touching as when the Big Three disbanded.

Guo Xu asked: Can I find a partner to sing a duet? For example, Avril Lavigne.

You can contact her, if she says yes, of course.

Okay, I know.

Guo Xu immediately made a plan. After leaving Los Angeles, Megan Fox was away. He had a lot of free time and created a lot of songs at home. He also suggested that Robert Smith, the invisible rich man in Los Angeles, sign a group with accompaniment, including several The first modified song can be used directly. As long as Avril is willing to cooperate with him, the show will definitely pass.

Guo Xu immediately called his agent. Happy, please help me contact the female singer Avril Lavigne to discuss the Grammy collaborative performance. Just ask for an email address first. I will send an audio message to her.

No problem, I'll get back to you shortly.

Now Hapi supports whatever Guo Xu wants to do. He thinks he should do more things he likes in his spare time. It is only a matter of time before Guo Xu becomes a superstar. He is popular and has championships. What he lacks is personal honors. He only needs to lead the Suns to win a championship in the future.

Happy contacted the record company Avril was signed to and asked for her manager’s phone number and her email address. Guo Xu sent the previously recorded audio.

In the evening, after attending a business event, Avril returned to her New York apartment. She was exhausted physically and mentally, but she couldn't rest immediately. Her agent asked her to listen to the audio as soon as possible, and she reluctantly turned on the computer.

In addition to the audio, there is also a document written by Guo Xufa in the mailbox, introducing some of his ideas on how to sing a magically modified male song into a chorus.

Avril clicked on the audio and was surprised to find that the accompaniment used by Guo Xu in the cover was actually a cello, and it was two cellos fighting each other, combining classical, pop, and rock music.

Guo Xu's singing is just an imitation of the original song, which is not outstanding. Her chorus is different, and it will become a fight song between the two. As long as the organizers arrange it properly, they will definitely steal the show at the Grammy Awards and give a classic performance.

Avril listened to it three times, becoming more energetic as she listened, and then called her agent. Jieka, reply to Jason Guo, I promise to sing a duet with him.

Ah? You decided so quickly? Jessica was a little worried: Although he is very famous, he has to play in the NBA and I'm afraid he won't have time to rehearse. It's risky for you to sing a duet with him.

No, we have time to practice. Help me check his schedule. I want to take time to go to Phoenix to meet him.
