Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu returned to his newly rented apartment and took a good nap, only to be woken up by a call from Happy Walters at noon.

Get up. Someone will bring you your computer and TV soon. I also ordered takeout of deep-dish pizza and salami for you.

Guo Xu has already become famous before he officially signed the contract. Happy wakes up laughing from his dreams at night. He works very hard, serving as both an agent and an assistant. He took care of all the shopping while Guo Xu only had to play and play ball.

Yesterday, a battery merchant contacted Hapi and wanted to find Guo Xu as a spokesperson. It was said that Guo Xu's strong physical strength can reflect the super battery life, which is nonsense. Happy pushed it without thinking, not because he didn't want Guo Xu to shoot a funny commercial, but because the money offered was too little. He firmly believes that Guo Xu's value will continue to increase after the start of the regular season. He should not be in a hurry to accept endorsements, but should take a long-term view.

Thank you, what about the contract?

The Lakers provided a 1+1 basic salary contract according to regulations. The first year is fully guaranteed, and the second year is a team option. A press conference will be held tomorrow night, and the players will show their new jerseys. Today we need to determine the back number. What number do you want to choose?

As long as the number has not been retired by a team and no player has chosen that number, players can choose according to their personal preference. For example, if the Lakers retire Chamberlain's No. 13, the team can no longer use this number.

Future players can also change their back numbers. According to regulations, they must apply to the league at least six months in advance. If someone fails to apply in advance in accordance with the regulations, whether it is the player or the team who changes the number, they will be punished by the league. When Jordan came back for the first time because he did not apply in advance, the Bulls were fined a total of $100,000 that season.

Guo Xu had already planned to choose the most representative number. I choose No. 58.

Why did you choose such an unpopular number? Maybe no one in the league has used No. 58. Some media said that you are like Iverson, why not choose No. 3? The Lakers have this number empty. Happy suggested.

58 is my overall pick in this year's draft, which is of commemorative significance. Choosing it can strengthen people's memory, let them remember that I am the last pick, and make it easier for me to compete for the best rookie. No one has used it better, I just need to play one In every game, with this number, he becomes the greatest player in NBA history. What Guo Xu wants is to become famous, so he can change his number when he leaves the Lakers in the future.

He won't use No. 58 forever. It would be unlucky to use this number if he leads the team.

What kind of logic is this? Forget it, whatever you want, I'll report it and hang up. Happy was easily persuaded, he found out Guo Xu's character, and the things he was sure of would not change. .

After everything was finalized and waiting for the announcement tomorrow, Guo Xu called home to report the good news and chatted for more than an hour.

The whole family is very happy. They have been paying attention to Guo Xu's news these days. The most excited thing is Grandpa Lak, who posted a bunch of Guo Xu's new posters in the restaurant, and everyone said that this is my grandson!

Guo Xu invited them to come to Los Angeles to play, but the four of them declined, saying they liked the environment in East Lansing, where the pace of life was slow and safe. They told Guo Xu to be careful when living in Los Angeles and try not to go out at night. Safety first.

One of the characteristics of Los Angeles is that the rich live in the suburbs, and the poor live in the city center. Except for the old city in the eyes of some white people, the streets are basically homeless and black, which is different from that in the east. Metropolises are completely different.

In fact, the law and order in Los Angeles is not bad. After all, the first official SWAT team in the United States was established in Los Angeles in the late 1960s. By 1975, there were about 500 SWAT teams, and today it has reached thousands. This group of counter-terrorists is armed to the teeth and has enough firepower to deal with biohazards and alien invasions.

Someone knocked on the door and Guo Xu only hung up the phone. When he opened the door, he saw a solemnly dressed and elegant woman in her thirties, with brown hair and blue eyes.

็ Hello Who are you?

I'm Darrence Fox, who lives across the street.

Nice to meet you. Darrens smiled.

Hi, Mrs. Fox, I'm Jason Guo. Guo Xu now firmly believes that there is a little beauty living across the street, and she must have inherited her mother's good genes. This one in front of him doesn't look like she has a 14-year-old daughter at all.

Wait... Darrence widened his eyes, covered his mouth with one hand, and said in disbelief, Are you the best rookie of the Lakers? I saw you on the news this morning.

Sure enough, I am already a star in Los Angeles, and the pretty girl opposite will definitely admire me.

Guo Xu's vanity was greatly satisfied, and his heart was filled with joy. His face was still calm and calm, and he said in a deep voice: Yes, I am the rookie of the Lakers.

I have to keep a low profile and not be arrogant. I just won the college MOP and the Long Beach Summer League MVP. Success? I've just hit the road!

It's great to be your neighbor. My daughter will be very happy to know. She and his father are Lakers fans. Darrens took out a pack of biscuits. This is a cookie made by my daughter. Please try it.

Thank you, it looks delicious at first glance. Guo Xu complimented.

The biscuits are all small animals, such as lions, tigers, elephants, etc. He also saw a Winnie the Pooh head.

He doesn't understand how it is made, but he believes that the person who can make this kind of biscuit must be as gentle as water, kind-hearted, filial and capable, well-educated, with both wisdom and beauty.

The small gift made Guo Xu feel very comfortable. As Austin said, it is important to have a good neighbor. After exchanging pleasantries, he asked about Darrens' daughter and wanted to meet this big girl.

She's not at home. She's been busy learning acting recently, and she's coming back at night. She's going to the Bahamas with Austin to make a movie next week. Darrens said that his daughter was very proud.

Guo Xu felt a little regretful, and smiled, Well, I heard Austin said that Holiday in the Sun is about to start filming. He also said that your daughter is very beautiful and will definitely become a big Hollywood star.

Darrence covered his mouth with a smile and said, How can she be so good? I am satisfied that she can become a TV star. This child is a bit confused, and often says and does wrong things. If I am not in Los Angeles in the future, I will still ask you and Austin to help take care of her more.

No problem, it's a piece of cake. Guo Xu is willing to meet people in the entertainment industry, which is one of the great pleasures of living in Los Angeles.

The two chatted a few more words and went back to their houses.

Darrens was very happy after receiving Guo Xu's guarantee. It was a complete surprise that his neighbor was an NBA star. There is no distinction between style and style. Guo Xu is more famous than Austin, a newcomer in the entertainment industry. As long as his daughter becomes friends with him, he can gain popularity and increase her exposure, which is of great help to her career.

If the two develop into lovers in the future, Darrens will be able to accept it. Guo Xu's information was disclosed by the media. He was born on November 24, 1981, and he was only 19 by the end of this year. The difference is less than five years. She was so pleased with Guo Xu, he was polite, young and promising, and his face looked very righteous at first glance.

As a experienced person, Darrens hopes that his daughter's circle of friends will be all elites. She once had a failed marriage. When she was young, she believed in the love of sentient beings, and married a poor Indian. She gave birth to two daughters, and the family lived in untold misery. After she remarried, she banned her two daughters from having any contact with the opposite sex, for fear that they would make the same mistake again.

Guo Xu belongs to the kind of elite she is optimistic about, and he has great potential!
