Chapter 114 [The first endorsement, the color of the Lakers! 】
It was just that interviewing Lakers' coaches and players at the press conference could no longer satisfy some reporters. It was always uninformed to conduct interviews around Guo Xu's ranking and height, and Guo Xu's answer was also boring.
The media needs bigger news tips. On the 20th, a reporter went to Michigan State University to interview Spartans coach Tom Izo, asking him to evaluate the four NBA players he led last season.
Izo Mark: "I have been following the NBA and the performance of the four of them. The current situation makes me incredible."
The reporter asked: "Who do you think has the best prospect?"
"Jason Richardson is the best, he has the strongest physical fitness, but he lacks game experience and is not ready to become a core, so I persuaded him to stay in the team for a year and wait for the draft next season, but he can't wait."
The reporter asked: "What's the second?"
"Martin Cliffs, he has always been the core of the Spartans, has good physical fitness and knows how to use his own advantages to drive the entire team's offense. Unexpectedly, after joining the Pistons, he played the least amount of time among the four."
The reporter asked: "Who are you the least optimistic about?"
"I used to be the least optimistic about Jason Guo. When he first entered college, he had a dull personality and average football skills, and only had outstanding shooting. Now he has become another person, and I still haven't figured out what's going on."
Izo cleverly avoided the topic of "the least optimistic about" and only said "before". In the past, everyone was not optimistic about Guo Xu. It was not surprising that he was one of them and would not offend others.
The reporter asked: "Jason has a high chance of being elected as the best rookie this season. What height do you predict he will reach in the future?"
Izo said: "I can't predict that he is a person I can't see through. He seems to be stronger after joining the Lakers. When he was in the Spartans, he was very physically ill, but now he can be selected into the top five goals by dunking."
After the news was released, it attracted a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Teammates from Mida's same period left a message on the Lakers' official website, all supporting Tom Izo's statement.
"Jason Guo got an elbow in the quarterfinals and fainted on the spot. Then he became very powerful. Not only did he improve his skills, but his physical fitness, his strength became stronger and his speed became faster. I definitely didn't have any exaggeration, he was like he had mutated."
"When I first arrived in Polis to prepare for the semi-finals, I beat him up in training, and he easily beat me the next day. I suspect he was caught by aliens that night and went to reform."
"I played with Jason Guo and Jason Richardson on April Fool's Day. Jason Guo's performance was too terrifying and unstoppable. At that time, I thought the NBA's star point guards were just like this, so I asked him for autographs. As expected, he was just as good as joining NBA."
This post was posted by Brad Stevens. He has already gone to Butler University to work as a basketball volunteer. He added Guo Xu's IQ online and chatted a few times occasionally. Guo Xu supported his dream and flattered him.
Guo Xu believes that this is a fate to meet the future "young coach" in Polis. His way of playing basketball imitates Isaiah Thomas of the future Celtics. Even if the other party is just a basketball volunteer, he will not underestimate it.
Stevens is not a reborn person. He lives in his friend's basement and lives a difficult life. Guo Xu's encouragement to him is a timely help. He regards Guo Xu as a good friend and idol.
On the 21st, Guo Xu was at home on holiday, and the Lakers would be under little pressure to play against the Timberwolves at home tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Hapi Watles asked Guo Xu to meet in a cafe not far from the apartment and officially signed his first advertising endorsement contract, signed a Chevrolet Camaro sports car for two years with a $4 million contract. 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 and is called "civilian sports cars". They are very cheap, allowing ordinary people to realize their dream of sports cars.
Two major civilian sports car brands came to visit after Guo Xu defeated the Jazz. They both believed that the explosion of last-place rookies were particularly suitable for being spokespersons and started price competition.
Hapi prefers to choose the Ford Mustang with a slightly lower price. It has a very popular "muscle car" in the United States, a symbol of pure manliness. Some young people actively go to restaurants to buy a Ford Mustang, which is only sold for tens of thousands of dollars in the United States.
As a result, Guo Xu got angry. "I, Jason, even if I starved to death, I would not drive the Ford Mustang if I jumped from here! Even if they offered a tens of millions of year-on-year endorsement fee, I wouldn't be able to say it's really good!"
What international jokes are you making? That's the car Vin Diesel drives in "Fast and Furious", with its own headlights!
Then, Guo Xu decided to choose the Chevrolet Camaro, which is also a model of American civilian sports cars. It is currently not as popular as Ford. He chose yellow in color, and there was a Megan Focus opposite. How could he not choose the "Hornet"?
Guo Xu has a bad memory. In fact, Dom's own cars in "Fast and Furious" are all Dodges. Dom drove a Chevrolet Camaro in episode 5 and 7...
Guo Xu signed his name on two contracts, and handed over the follow-up matters to Hapi, and drove on a yellow new car.
After driving a while, he saw two Camaros in red and black, and those in yellow were not. The movie "Transformers" will not be released until 2007, and now people will not regard this car as a "bumblebee".
Of course, Meghan, a poor student who has not finished school, could not go to the famous Los Angeles Academy of Performing Arts. He attended a performance class specially designed for young actors. It was not far from where he lived and was directly accessible by bus. One night in Los Angeles, it rained heavily one night. Meghan did not bring an umbrella, so Guo Xu drove to pick her up once, so he knew the place.
Guo Xu's first idea when he had a new car was to show off to Meghan and see how she would react.
He waited bored on the side of the road for more than half an hour. Life without a smartphone was really terrible.
Finally Megan got off get out of class. He stood by the car and waved at her, saying proudly: "How do you feel for my new car?"
Megan was slightly stunned, then looked at the "Hornet" with contempt and said, "Didn't you drive a Ford before? Why did you change the car? And it's still yellow. Oh my God, this color looks so beautiful, how good is black."
"..." Guo Xu was a little confused.
Shouldn't you be very surprised and get in the car with a smile on your face? Even if it's a used car, you should open the lid to see. What's the sarcastic tone like?
Megan covered her mouth with a gloating expression, and her eyes curled up: "Hoha, your taste is really bad. Have you ever asked Austin for his opinion when buying it? And Shackle, their cars are so beautiful. How can you drive this affect your image."
Guo Xu's temples leaped and said seriously: "I have a feeling that this car will bring me good luck, which is the color of the Lakers. Fifty years later, when you look back on the past, won't you regret not having the courage to get in this car back then?"
"This is your car, why do I regret it?" Megan was stunned, revealing his rabbit teeth, thinking about why this sounded a bit like confession? "What the hell are you doing? It didn't rain today, would you be so kind to pick me up home?"
"I suddenly wanted to eat Sichuan cuisine, so I came to find you." Guo Xu sneered.
Megan's face changed drastically, and she waved her hand and said, "No, didn't you say you didn't have to go?"
