Chapter 70 - 【Number, neighbor】
Guo Xu went back to the newly rented apartment and slept beautifully. After noon, he was awakened by Hapi Waters’ phone.
“Getting up, someone will send you a computer and TV for a while, and I will also call you a deep-dish pizza and an Italian sausage.”
Guo Xu has become famous before he officially signed the contract. Happi will wake up laughing at night and work very hard, working as both an agent and an assistant. He has taken care of the outsourcing, and Guo Xu just plays and plays.
Yesterday, a battery merchant contacted Hapy and wanted to find Guo Xu as a spokesperson, saying that Guo Xu’s physical strength can reflect the super battery life, which is nonsense. Hapy pushed without thinking, not because he did not want Guo Xu to make funny advertisements, but because the other party gave too little money. He firmly believes that Guo Xu’s value will continue to increase after the start of the regular season.
“Thank you, what happened to the contract?”
“The Lakers provided a 1 + 1 base salary contract, full coverage for the first year, and a second-year team option. The press conference will be held tomorrow night. The players will show their new jerseys. To determine the back number today, what number do you want to choose? “
As long as the number has not been retired by the team and no player has selected the number, players can choose according to their personal preferences. For example, the Lakers retired Chamberlain’s No. 13, the team can no longer appear 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 does not apply in advance in accordance with the regulations, either the player who changes the number or the team will be punished by the league. Jordan returned for the first time because he didn’t apply in advance, and the Bulls were fined $ 100,000 that season.
Guo Xu had a plan early to choose the most representative number. “I choose number 58.”
“Why choose such an unpopular number? Maybe no one in the league has ever used No. 58. Some media say you are like Iverson, why not choose No. 3? The Lakers have this number empty.” Hapi suggested.
“58 is my overall pick of this year’s draft, it has a commemorative meaning. It can strengthen people’s memory, let them remember that I am the last place, so that I can compete for the best rookie. No one has used better, I just need to play one Game, this number is the greatest player in NBA history. “What Guo Xu wants is a famous gimmick, he can change the number when he leaves the Lakers in the future.
He will not use the number 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 will report it up and hang up.” Hapi was easily persuaded, he figured out Guo Xu’s character, and the things he knew would not change. .
Everything is settled, and when it is announced tomorrow, Guo Xu calls home to report good news and chats for more than an hour.
The whole family is very happy. They have been following Guo Xu ’s news these days. The most exciting thing is to announce Lake. They posted a bunch of new posters of Guo Xu in the hotel. When they saw everyone, they said it was my grandson!
Guo Xu invited them to come to Los Angeles to play, but all four refused, saying that they liked the environment of East Lansing, and the life rhythm was slow and safe. They told Guo Xu to be careful in life in Los Angeles, try not to go out at night, safety first.
A major feature of Los Angeles is that the rich live in the suburbs, and the poor live in the city center. After dark, except for the “old city” in the eyes of some white people, the streets are basically homeless and black. This is the same as the east. The metropolis is very 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 built in Los Angeles in the late 1960s. By 1975, there were about 500 SWAT troops, and today it has reached thousands. This group of counter-terrorists armed their teeth with enough firepower to cope with biohazard and alien invasion.
Someone came knocking on the door Guo Xucai hung up the phone, and opened the door to see a woman with a dignified dress and elegant manners. She looked in her thirties and had brown hair.
“็ Hello Who are you?”
“I am Darren Fox, who lives across the road, so nice to meet you.” Darren smiled.
“Hello, Mrs. Fox, this is Jason Guo.” Guo Xu now firmly believes that there is a little beauty across from her. She must have inherited her mother’s good genes. This one does not look like a 14-year-old daughter.
“Wait …” Darren’s eyes widened, covering his mouth with one hand, and he couldn’t believe it: “Are you the Lakers’ best rookie? I saw you on the news this morning.”
Sure enough, I am already a star in Los Angeles, and the little **** the opposite side will adore me.
Guo Xu’s vanity was greatly satisfied, and he was happy in his heart. The face was still light and calm, and he said: “Yes, I am the rookie of the Lakers.”
I want to be low-key and can’t be proud, only to take the college MOP and Long Beach Summer League MVP, success? I just started on the road!
“It’s great to be a neighbor with you. My daughter will be very happy to know that she and his dad are fans of the Lakers.” Darrens took out a bag of cookies. “This is a cookie made by my daughter. Please try it.”
“Thank you, it’s delicious at a glance.” Guo Xu complimented.
Cookies are all images of small animals, such as lions, tigers, elephants, etc. He also saw a picture of Winnie the Pooh.
He can’t understand how this is done, but he believes that people who can make such cookies must have a gentle personality like water, a good heart, good filial piety, a good education, and wisdom and beauty.
A small gift made Guo Xu feel very comfortable. As Austin said, having a good neighbor is very important. With a few words of greeting, he asked Darrens’ daughter and wanted to see this big loli.
“She is not at home, UU reading www.uukanshu.com recently busy studying acting, only to come back in the evening, she will go to the Bahamas with Austin next week to make a movie.” Darrens was very proud to mention her daughter.
Guo Xu was a little sorry and smiled: “Well, I heard Austin said that” Holiday in the Sun “is about to start shooting. He also said that your daughter is very beautiful and will definitely become a Hollywood star.”
Darren covered his mouth and smiled: “How can she be so good, she can be a TV star I am satisfied. This child is a bit confused, often say the wrong things, do wrong things, if I am not in Los Angeles in the future, please you Help Austin take care of her more. “
“No problem, a trifle.” Guo Xu is willing to meet people in the entertainment industry, which is a great pleasure in life in Los Angeles.
Talked a few words back to the house.
Darrens was very happy after receiving Guo Xu ’s assurance, and it was totally a surprise that the neighbor was an NBA star. The style is not separated. Guo Xu is more famous than Austin, a newcomer in the entertainment industry. As long as her daughter becomes a friend with him, she can rub the heat and increase the exposure rate.
If the two later develop into lovers Darrens can accept. Guo Xu ’s information was made public by the media. He was born on November 24, 1981, and was only 19 by the end of this year. The difference is less than five years old. She thought Guo Xushi was too pleasing, polite, young and promising, and that face was just at first glance.
Darrens, as a “coming person”, hopes that her daughter’s circle of friends will be elites. She once had a failed marriage. When she was young, she believed that the love of drinking water and drinking was married to an Indian poor and gave birth to two daughters. The family had a hard time. After remarrying, she banned her two daughters and barely allowed them to come into contact with the opposite sex.
Guo Xu belongs to the elite she likes, and the potential is too great!
