Chapter 114 [The first endorsement, the color of the Lakers!] 】
Just interviewing Lakers' coaches and players at a press conference has been too satisfying for some reporters. There is nothing new in always conducting interviews around Guo Xu's rank and height, and Guo Xu's answer is also very boring.
The media needs a bigger news break, and on the 20th, a reporter went to Michigan State University and interviewed Tom Izo, the coach of the Spartans, and asked him to evaluate the four NBA players he brought last season.
Izzo logo: "I've been following the NBA and watching the performance of all four of them, and the current situation strikes me incredible. ”
The reporter asked: "Who do you think has the best prospects?" ”
"Jason Richardson is the best, he's the most physical, but he lacks game experience and isn't ready to be a core, so I persuaded him to stay at the core for a year and wait until next season to play in the draft, but he can't wait."
The reporter asked: "And next?" ”
"Martin Cliffs, he's always been the core of the Spartans, he's also very physical, and he knows how to use his strengths to lead the whole team to attack, but I didn't expect him to play the least time of the four after joining the Pistons."
The reporter asked: "Who are you most optimistic about?" ”
"The one I didn't like the most was Jason Guo, when he first entered college, he had a dull personality and average ball skills, and he was only outstanding in shooting. Now he's a completely different person, and I still don't understand what that is. ”
Izzo cleverly avoided the topic of "least optimistic" and only said "before". In the past, everyone was not optimistic about Guo Xu, and it is not surprising that he is one of them, and he must not offend anyone.
The reporter asked: "Jason has a good chance of being selected as the Rookie of the Year this season, what heights do you predict he will reach in the future?" ”
"I can't predict that he's a guy I can't see through, he seems to be stronger when he joined the Lakers, he was very poor in physical fitness when he was in the Spartans, and now he's a top five with a dunk," Izzo said. ”
After the news was released, it attracted a lot of discussion among fans on the Internet.
Michigan's teammates at the same time left messages on the Lakers' official website, all of them supporting Tom Izzo's statement.
"Jason Guo was elbowed in the quarterfinals and fainted on the spot, and then he became very powerful, not only his skills, but also his physical fitness, his strength became greater, and his speed became faster. I'm absolutely not exaggerating, he's like he's mutated. ”
"When I first arrived in Polis to prepare for the Final Four, I single-handedly beat him in training, and the next day he easily beat me, and I suspect that he was captured by aliens that night to reform."
"On April Fool's Day I played with Jason Kwok and Jason Richardson on the street court, and Jason Kwok's performance was horrible and unstoppable. At that time, I thought that the NBA's star point guards were just like that, and I asked him for an autograph, and sure enough, he joined the NBA just as well. ”
This post was sent by Brad Stevens, who has already gone to Butler University to volunteer in basketball, adding Guo Xu's ICQ on the Internet, and occasionally chatting a few words, Guo Xu supports his dream and flatters him.
Being able to meet the future "young marshal" in Polis, Guo Xu believes that this is a kind of fate. He plays in a way that mimics Isaiah Thomas of the future Celtics, even if the opponent is just a basketball volunteer, he doesn't take it lightly.
Stevens is not a reborn, he lives in a friend's basement and lives a poor life, Guo Xu's encouragement to him is a charcoal in the snow, he regards Guo Xu as a good friend and idol.
On the 21st, Guo Xu was at home on vacation, and tomorrow the Lakers will play the Timberwolves at home, and there is not much pressure.
In the afternoon, Harpy Waters asked Guo Xu to meet at a café not far from his apartment, and officially signed his first advertising endorsement contract, a two-year $4 million contract with a Chevrolet Camaro sports car, and the company also gave him a fourth-generation new car.
In the eyes of most people, supercars such as Lamborghini and Ferrari are out of reach, but there is a kind of sports car that is very close to people, known as "civilian sports cars", they are very cheap, so that ordinary people can realize their sports car dreams.
The two major civilian sports car brands came to the door after Guo Xu killed the Jazz, and they both thought that the last rookie who broke out was particularly suitable to be the spokesperson, and launched a price competition.
Harpy prefers to choose the Ford Mustang with a slightly lower price, and it has a very popular "muscle car" in the United States, which is a symbol of pure masters. Some young people actively go to restaurants to work just to buy a Ford Mustang, which sells for only tens of thousands of dollars in the United States.
As a result, Guo Xu went crazy directly. "My Jason Guo is starving to death, dying outside, jumping from here, and I won't drive a Ford Mustang! Even if they offer an endorsement fee of 10 million a year, I can't say that it is really fragrant! ”
What international jokes? That's the car Vin Diesel in "Fast and Furious", with its own headlights!
Then, Guo Xu made a decision and chose the Chevrolet Camaro, which is also a model of an American-style civilian sports car, which is currently not as popular as Ford. He chose yellow in color, and there lived a Megan Fox across the street, so how could he not choose "Bumblebee"?
Guo Xu's memory is not very good, in fact, Dom's own car in "Fast and Furious" is Dodge, and in episodes 5 and 7, Dom drove a Chevrolet Camaro......
Guo Xu signed his name on the two contracts, and the follow-up matters were handed over to Harpy, and he drove around in a yellow new car.
After driving for a while, he saw two red and black Camaros of the same model, and none of the yellow ones. The Transformers movie wasn't released until 2007, and now people don't think of the car as a "bumblebee."
Megan, a scumbag who didn't finish middle school, of course, can't go to the famous Los Angeles Academy of Performing Arts, which is an acting class for young actors, not far from where she lives, and the bus goes directly. It rained heavily one night in Los Angeles last month, and Megan didn't bring an umbrella, so Guo Xu drove to pick her up once, so he knew the place.
Guo Xu's first thought when he had a new car was to show it to Megan, to see how she would react.
He waited boredly on the side of the road for more than half an hour, and the days without a smartphone were really scary.
Finally Meghan got out of class, he stood on the side of the car and waved at her, and said proudly: "My new car, how do you feel?" ”
Megan was slightly stunned, then looked at the "Bumblebee" with disdain and said, "Didn't you drive a Ford before?" Why did you change cars? And it's yellow, oh my God, this color looks so good, how good is black. ”
"......" Guo Xu was a little confused.
Shouldn't you be very pleasantly surprised and get on the bus with a smile on your face? Even if it's a second-hand car, you should open the lid to see it, what kind of mocking tone is it?
Megan covered her mouth with a gloating expression, and her eyes were crooked with a smile: "Roar, your taste is really bad, didn't you ask Austin's opinion when you bought it?" And Shakel, their cars are so beautiful, how much does it affect your image when you drive this. ”
Guo Xu's temples jumped, and he said seriously: "I have a hunch that this car will bring me good luck, this is the color of the Lakers." Fifty years later, when you look back, won't you regret that you didn't have the guts to get into this car? ”
"It's your car, why should I regret it?" Megan was stunned, baring her rabbit teeth, wondering how this sound a bit like a confession? "What the hell are you doing here? It's not raining today, and you're so kind to take me home? ”
"I suddenly wanted to eat Sichuan food, that's why I came to you." Guo Xu sneered.
Meghan's face changed greatly, and she waved her hand and said, "Don't, didn't you say you don't have to go?" ”
"I am willing to lose the bet, I said that it is a postponement, how great Sichuan cuisine is, if you don't go, I promise...... You'll regret it! ”
