The Suns' next game was on the road again, and they won by six points in overtime to win three in a row.

Stadameyer was unfortunately beaten by the Grizzlies' sophomore player, "Black Bear" Zach Randolph, Smalls only scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 fouls to leave the game, while Randolph cut 35 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.

When Randolph was in good form this year, he beat Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki. When he was not in good shape, he was like a defensive black hole, and he was casually blown up by opponents, which made the Grizzlies coaching staff love and hate.

Although he is a little fat, Randolph, who is 206cm tall and weighs 117 kg, is very flexible, delicate in footwork, and his speed in both the back and the frame is excellent in the inside, which is very similar to O'Neal.

His offensive style is similar to that of Derrick Coleman when he first entered the league, with the ability to break through with the ball and settle the battle with layups and throws, as well as play with his back in the low post and turn around to shoot.

Xiao Si was about to be tortured by the fat man Lan and went crazy, obviously he had the advantage of speed and bounce, but the fat man relied on him to turn around and shoot, he just couldn't cover it. The fat man is more annoying when he is facing the frame, he pulls it more outside, takes the ball in one step inside the three-point line and threatens it, and the opponent's defense is far away, he pulls out the jump shot, and he takes a step forward and he holds the ball to break through.

Randolph's low back is already a trick, his upper body is strong, the lower game is steady, the back can be pushed to a good position to catch the ball, turn and hook, or turn and retreat jump shots are all good tricks.

The Grizzlies, like the Suns, changed their head coach in the middle of the season, with Hubby Brown replacing Sidney Lowe, and the Grizzlies immediately rose to prominence with a significant increase in winning percentage.

The team's main tactic is for others to pull away, Randolph to single in the low post, or Randolph and Gasol to pull out to cover their teammates, creating space for defenders to break through, and Mike Miller, Mike Dunleavy and Wesley Persson on the perimeter receive the ball and shoot.

The Grizzlies are currently in ninth place in the West and are on track to make the playoffs. Randolph and Gasol make up the Memphis Twin Towers. Lan Fatzi averaged 18 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game while shooting 48.5% from the field, while Gasol also had 17.1 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists while shooting 51%.

The Grizzlies' weakness is still point guard, and the general manager is to blame for sending Mike Bibby away in exchange for Jason Williams, who shot only 38.5% from the field. His 12 points and 8 assists are good, and he has become more stable than he was with the Kings and will no longer pursue behind-the-back passes, but on the defensive end, "White Chocolate" is still terrible.

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

The next day, Guo Xu made headlines, not because of his excellent performance in the competition, but because he received an official invitation to participate in the 45th Grammy Awards 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 popular music at the moment, attracting and inviting entertainment stars from all over the United States and around the world to attend every year.

People were surprised to find that Guo Xu could win the Grammy Award this year, and there was no particularly good single last year, and "See You Again" was outstanding.

With this single, Guo Xu won the U.S. Teen Choice Award and the MTV Video Music Award last year, and the MV made by the Lakers Big Three is very attractive. He has also received more than 10 nominations for the MTV Europe Music Awards, the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Guo Xu received two Grammy nominations, Best Single of the Year and Best New Artist of the Year. His main competitors are New York newcomer Norah Jones and Canadian-French newcomer Avgne Lavigne.

Guo Xu knew that he must be going to accompany him, and it was impossible for the judges to award the award to him, a person who "played tickets". And he knew Norah Jones would sweep five awards, and her album "Ce Aay ith Me" has now sold more than 15 million copies.

However, he decided to go to the Grammys to join in the fun, because he was free at that time. During that time, the Suns were going to play a wave of road trips in the East, against the Wizards, Celtics, and Knicks, and he didn't play on the day of the awards ceremony.

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 global hit last summer, and it was a good publicity stunt.

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

Guo Xu definitely couldn't sing his own song, O'Neill's voice couldn't sing live, and he tossed in the studio for a long time. The Grammys will not invite O'Neal and Kobe, because this year's media exposed the conflict of the OK combination, and the three of them will not be as touching as when they get together again as when the "Big Three disbanded".

Guo Xu asked: "Can I find a partner to sing together?" For example, Avril. ”

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

"Okay, I got it."

Guo Xu immediately had a plan, after leaving Los Angeles, Megan Fox was not there, he had a lot of free time, made a lot of tunes at home, and suggested that Robert Smith, the invisible rich man in Los Angeles, sign an accompaniment group, in which several magic songs 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. "Harpy, you can help me contact the female singer Avril Lavigne to discuss the Grammy collaboration, just ask for an email address first, I will send her an audio."

"No problem, I'll get back to you in a moment."

Now Guo Xu wants to do whatever Harpy supports, and he feels that he should do more things he likes in his spare time. It is only a matter of time before Guo Xu steps into the ranks of superstars, he is popular, has a championship, and what he lacks is only personal honors, as long as he leads the Suns to win a championship in the future.

Harpy contacted the record company that Avril had signed for, asked for her agent's phone number and her email address, and Guo Xu sent the previously recorded audio.

In the evening, Avril returned to her New York apartment after attending a business event, physically and mentally exhausted, but she could not rest immediately, and the 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 sent by Guo Xu in the mailbox, introducing some of his ideas, how to sing a magic male song into a chorus.

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

Guo Xu's own singing is just imitating the original song, which is not brilliant, her chorus is different, and it will become a "fighting song" between the two. As long as the organizers arrange it properly, they will definitely make a big show at the Grammy Awards and present a classic performance.

Avril listened three times, and the more she listened, the more she refreshed, and then called the agent's number. "Jack Ka, reply to Jason Guo, I promise to sing with him."

"Huh? You decided so quickly? Jessica was a little worried: "Although he is very famous, if he wants to play in the NBA, I'm afraid there is no time to rehearse, and it is risky for you to sing with him." ”

"No, we have time to practice, help me see his schedule, and I want to find time to meet him in Phoenix."
