Chapter 359: WWE!
David Stern still did not give a clear answer to Sun Zhuo's proposals of whether he chose him, but he took the initiative to ask Sun Zhuo to help do one thing, that is, to let Sun Zhuo write songs.
Sun Zhuo previously collaborated with the Dark Fortress on a song "Remember The Name", which was officially used by the NBA as a promotional song for a period of time, and was also selected as the theme song of the NBA2K game, which also had a very good response in the pop music scene, and many young people liked it very much, and David Stern was the same.
David Stern laughed: "I like your previous song "Remember The Name", and the response is very good, I don't think your talent in music is much worse than basketball, and you are the most popular star in the NBA, if you can write another song like this, it must be a perfect thing." β
Sun Zhuo smiled: "Thank you for your recognition of my music, I just wanted to say that I also have some suggestions for the promotion of each season." In addition to having a slogan and theme song every season, players should also launch a slogan every year, such as 'Don't be afraid of me' and 'No invasion'. β
When he heard Sun Zhuo say that he had another suggestion, David Stern couldn't help but his eyelids jumped, but he quickly regained his smile: "'Don't be afraid of me'?" Does that mean that this player will step up and save the team? The theme you are talking about is between the players, and the other players have to cooperate in order for this theme to become popular. Let's not talk about that, do you have any thoughts on next season's theme song? David Stern asked.
Sun Zhuo nodded: "I've thought of the theme song and slogan." β
"Oh? What is the slogan? David Stern really didn't expect Sun Zhuo to prepare these in advance, he thought that Sun Zhuo would focus all his energy on the championship competition.
βhere Amazing Happensγβ Sun Zhuo said slowly.
"Oh my God." David Stern was shocked on the spot after hearing this, compared to the slightly perfunctory smirk and praise of Sun Zhuo before, David Stern at this moment seemed more real, it seems that he was really amazed by this slogan.
here Amazing Happens, the slogan can be said to be the most successful and classic sentence in the NBA, and there is nothing that can be compared.
"A very good word, can I listen to the song you wrote about it?" David Stern was eager to hear Sun Zhuo's music.
Sun Zhuo nodded: "Unlike "Remember The Name", I wrote a piano song, and RICH's family happens to have a piano, so I can play it to you live." β
"It couldn't be better." David Stern excitedly stretched out his hand to shake Sun Zhuo, and then hurriedly walked to the room to find Magic boss Richard, without waiting for the two to speak, they found that after such a while, there was another person in the room, this person Sun Zhuo also knew, it was Adam Xiaohua, who later took over as NBA president.
"Oh? Adam Shaw is also here? He should be David Stern's special assistant at this time, right? Sun Zhuo was very happy to see Adam Xiaohua, and the two NBA presidents got together.
"Oh, Adam Xiaohua, you're here too." David Stern said lightly to Adam Xiaohua, and Adam Xiaohua saw that the two of them had already immediately got up from the sofa.
Later, David Stern said to Richard, "I'm going to borrow your piano and listen to the theme song that Sun wrote for us next season in the NBA." β
"Oh? Is this true? Haha, come with me. After hearing this, Richard, as the owner of the Magic, his players wrote the league's theme song, and he also felt very proud.
Adam Xiaohua was also shocked.
Coming to the room where the piano was placed, Sun Zhuo sat down and first said: "The slogan for next season is here amazing happens, and this piano song is called "Everyday". β
The song "Everyday" played by Sun Zhuo is the same piano piece that was used as "here amazing happens" in his previous life, from Carly Comando.
After speaking, Sun Zhuo's fingers have touched the piano keys, and the basketball player's slender five fingers keep playing and switching on the black and white keys, the NBA is a passionate and passionate sport, and he is used to listening to those passionate songs, and suddenly heard a completely different pure piano music, and it is so sensational and even a little sad, these people behind Sun Zhuo have all froze, and everyone has entered their own world with the piano music......
"Congratulations, Richard, congratulations on winning the championship."
"Congratulations, Richard, it's been 17 years!"
"It's only been 17 years, haha, I already feel lucky enough."
For Magic boss Richard DeVos, time seems to be rapidly receding, and it has returned to the moment when Magic won the championship, and he took his wife and children to the stage to share the honor with his players, and the congratulations of his friends kept echoing in his ears.
"Look, Shaquille O'Neal has broken another rebound! Oh my God, this Magic No. 32 could literally destroy an entire stadium! No, it's the whole world! β
"Anfernee Hardaway is so gorgeous, this Magic No. 1 can actually score on the top of Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen in a row, and the Magic will not be too far away from the championship."
"Boss, they selected the NBA's 50 superstars, I was selected, and the award ceremony was ...... in Cleveland."
"Don't go, let them go on their own, you can recuperate in peace, Shaq."
ββ¦β¦β
Magic boss Richard DeVos has a dull gaze, for him, the world he lives in, time has been going back fast, from yesterday, and back to 1993, 1996, he remembered a lot of past things.
This is a magical piano piece that makes people instantly open up their memories, especially for people who have experienced a lot and are older, and like Richard, David Stern also remembers a lot of the past.
"I am announcing that starting today, I will immediately drop the investigation into Michael Jordan's gambling!"
"I've reached the pinnacle of basketball, and there's nothing that can stir my passion on this field anymore, and I'm announcing my retirement."
βHYοΌβ David Stern, whose hair was not as gray as it is today, was on a dozen floors in New York, looking out the window, his eyes blank, and the cover title of Sports Illustrated in his hand was written in this simple and huge word.
"Mr. President, have you heard about Kobe? I think he could be the next Michael Jordan! β
"Hey, hello, you're LeBron James? Can I wear this white suit of yours? β
ββ¦β¦β
David Stern is 64 years old, and he doesn't know how long he can stay in the position of NBA president, and such a straightforward piano music can move him even more.
After talking about the song, several people still felt unfinished.
David Stern patted Sun Zhuo's shoulder with his hand: "Thank you for writing such a beautiful and moving song, we have used this theme song and promotional slogan, and I will pay you accordingly." β
"Thank you, I made a few suggestions before that...... Sun Zhuo is very happy that David Stern can agree with him so much in terms of songs.
"We will definitely think about it seriously and discuss it in the meeting, thank you for what you have done for the Alliance. Plus, we've got to go. "David Stern and Adam Shaw are catching a plane.
Sun Zhuo and Richard went out to see each other off, watched the two leave in the car, and waved goodbye.
"Sun's talent is really enviable, not only is he so outstanding in basketball, but he can also write such moving piano music, but listen to him, he also has some suggestions? What is the suggestion? Shortly after getting into the car, Adam Shaw asked David Stern curiously.
Facing his subordinates, David Stern no longer had a smile on his face, his expression was very serious, maybe he was like this in private, Stern said coldly: "The finals are restructured, 232 is changed to 22111, and the award form must also be changed, he wants to hold a separate awards ceremony, just like the Grammys Oscars, the All-Stars also want to change, no longer set up east and west, a captain on each side, and players can be selected at will." β
"Oh. How could he have so many ideas? Very cool, Mr. President, when are you going to have a discussion meeting, I'll prepare it for you in advance. Adam Xiao Hua said, at this time, he has become more admiring Sun Zhuo, and he thinks these suggestions are very good.
However, David Stern said coldly: "No need. I'm not going to use his proposals. β
"Huh? Why? I think...... It's quite creative and can bring something new to the NBA. Adam Shaw also went from excitement to loss.
David Stern said: "He is too selfish to come up with these ideas, and they come up entirely out of his own interests. If like Sun's season, scoring champion, team, regular season MVP, championship, FMVP, and winning so many awards in one season, then he must have taken the stage to receive awards again and again, and everyone watched how he shined off the court, which is not fair to other players. The same is true of the proposal for an All-Star restructuring, why would he suggest that the captains of the East and West select their players? Because with his popularity, he will definitely be able to get the captain of the East, and when the time comes, all eyes will be on him again, and the fate of the starters in the West and East will all be in his hands, and he will appear to be a higher level than others. So, you see, I can't easily agree to these things in order to satisfy his vanity. β
"But the star effect is the key to promoting the NBA, Sun has become a higher star, and the promotion of the NBA is a good thing, just like the world worships Michael Jordan." Adam Shaw has a different view.
"Needless to say, I won't agree, you think it's good, when you sit in my position, you can change it yourself." David Stern closed his eyes and didn't want to talk anymore.
"Mr. President, I didn't ......" Adam Xiaohua's voice gradually weakened, and seeing that Stern didn't want to talk anymore, he had to shake his head and look out the window.
β¦β¦
Five days later, in the United States, Madison Square Garden, the NBA has ended, and today will be played here for the E game.
"Today's ring is a little different, it seems to be a little bigger, and why is there a basketball hoop in the ring?"
"Don't you know that Ron Artest is the protagonist today? He is an NBA player. β
"Then there's no need to compete in basketball on the E court, right? That floor isn't good for dribbling, haha. β
"Look, isn't that Eric Sun? The Chinese who just won the NBA championship, why did he come? β
Before the game, Sun Zhuo appeared in the audience, causing a commotion at the scene, Sun Zhuo can now be said to be a celebrity in the sports world, and he has just won the championship, and many people have taken the initiative to run to him, and even ask for autographs.
"Sun, did you come to see Ron Artest being beaten?"
"Sun, will you play with them?"
Sun Zhuo smiled: "I'm just passing by here, and I'll leave after a while." β
It didn't take long for E's president Vince McMahon to appear first with the microphone, and there was some applause at the scene, Vince McMahon paused for a while, and said in the ring: "I heard that the NBA is hot again, and the ratings of the Finals that just ended are very good, oh, let me see who that person is in the audience, isn't that the Magic forward who just won the championship?" β
The audience turned their attention to Sun Zhuo, and the scene was especially looking forward to Sun Zhuo being able to play on stage, and Vince McMahon also opened his mouth to invite: "Sun, do you want to play on stage for a while?" You see, there is your favorite basket in the ring, and today's game of E is about basketball scoring, and E and the NBA are combined, do you want to see it? β
"Is this a special mid-year show today?" Many viewers were surprised, but the reaction was also good, and everyone wanted to see Sun Zhuo on stage.
But Sun Zhuo shook his head and didn't make any movements, looking like a person who came over to watch the fun.
Today's protagonists are E player John Cena and NBA player Ron Artest.
John Cena was already standing in the ring, and Artest had just appeared, holding a microphone in his hand, and began to spit trash talk at Senna from a distance, still in German, everyone like Sun Zhuo, they couldn't understand German, they didn't know what Artest said, but they all knew that it was not a good thing.
John Cena, who was on the field, also looked confused, and then replied in English: "Listen, the audience here won't be impressed with you because of what language you speak, the audience hates you because you're a bastard, you speak German, then I speak German too!" (X%&^**!) Even if you want the Chinese version, I can tell you about it! I bite the bird's egg, I'm the crown roll, I'm the music player! β
βyeahοΌβ The cheers were completely ignited.
A young man next to Sun Zhuo asked Sun Zhuo: "Man, you are Chinese, what do you mean by those words that John just said?" β
"This ......" Sun Zhuo was also a little incomprehensible, "is his strong meaning." β
Soon, after Senna said "kick his ass", Senna and Artest faced each other in the ring.
The two stood in the ring at the same time, and the Artest of about 198CM was still taller than John Cena, who was 185CM, because today's game was not just an E-form game, but also basketball, Artest condescendingly mocked John Cena on the court: "Even if I don't guard against you, can you jump up and touch the basket?" β
However, in the first round, John Cena defended Artest, directly punched Artest to the ground, and then picked up the basketball and ran over like a football player to jump and dunk, the basket was obviously shorter than the official basket, and the floor was elastic, Senna dunked domineeringly, like an NBA dunk master.
The scene followed the carnival.
John Cena picked up the microphone and said to Artest, who still had a painful look on his face when he fell to the ground: "Don't say it's you, even if it's the strongest person in the NBA, I can beat him 100:0 with me!" β
