Chapter 306 [Fat Potentials, Fighting Grammys]

The Suns played away again in the next game, and they won the Grizzlies with 6 points in overtime and achieved three consecutive victories.

Stadameier was unfortunately beaten by the Grizzlies' sophomore player, "Black Bears" Zach Randolph. Sir only scored 14 points and 5 rebounds, left the court with 6 fouls, and Randolph scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.

When Randolph was in good shape this year, he beat Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki. When he was in bad shape, he was like a defensive black hole and was beaten by his opponent, making the Grizzlies coaching staff love and hate.

Although he is a bit fat, Randolph, who is 206cm tall and weighs 117 kilograms, is very flexible and has delicate footwork skills. He is excellent in the inside line, which is very similar to O'Neal.

His offensive style is similar to Derek Coleman when he first entered the league. He can break through with the ball and use layups and throws to solve the battle. He can also play from a low post and turn around and shoot.

Xiao Si was almost tortured by Fatty Lan. He obviously had the advantage of speed and bounce, but he couldn't cover the fat man with one turn and shot. When he was in the frame, he hated him even more. He pulled the ball more heavily, and threatened with three steps inside the three-point line. The opponent's defense was far away from him and he pulled the jump shot. He took the ball and broke through with the ball.

Randolph's low post back is already a masterpiece. He has strong upper limbs and stable lower plates. He can push back and get to a good position to catch the ball, turn around and hook, or turn around and step back and take off and jump shots are all good things.

Like the Suns, the Grizzlies changed their coach in the season, Hubby Brown replaced Sidney Lovie, and the Grizzlies immediately rose and their winning rate increased significantly.

The team's main tactics are for others to pull away, Randolph plays alone in low posts, or Randolph and Gasol both pull out to cover their teammates, creating space for the defender to break through, and Mike Miller, Mike Dunleavy, and Vesri Person catch the ball and take action on the outside.

The Grizzlies are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference and are expected to make it to the playoffs. Randolph and Gasol form the Memphis Double Tower. Fat Ran averages 18 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.5%, and Gasol also has 17.1 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 51%.

The Grizzlies' weakness is still the point guard, only the general manager who sent Mike Beeby away and replaced Jason Williams with a shooting percentage of only 38.5%. His 12-point and 8 assists are not bad. His organization has become more stable when he was in the Kings and will no longer pursue the pass behind the back. However, on the defensive end, the "White Chocolate" performance is still very bad.

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

The next day, Guo Xu made headlines, not because he performed well in the competition, but because he received an official invitation to attend the 45th Grammy Awards held in Madison Square Garden, New York on February 23 this year.

As the highest award in the music industry, the Grammy Awards represent the highest level of pop music at present. They attract and invite stars from the United States and around the world to attend every year. Since there are many young artists competing for the major music awards of this year's Grammy, the ownership of the grand prize is quite suspense.

People were surprised to find that Guo Xu might have won the Grammy Award this year and did not have a particularly good single last year. "seeyouagain" seems outstanding.

With this single, Guo Xu won the American Youth Choice Award and the MTV Video Award last year. The MV shot by the Lakers Big Three is very attractive. He also won more than ten nominations in the MTV European Music Award, the National Music Award, the Billboard Music Award, the IHearttradio Music Award and other categories. Although he did not win the award, he is also worthy of pride.

Guo Xu won two Grammy nominations, the Best Single of the Year and the Best Newcomer of the Year. His main competitors are New York newcomer Nora Jones, and Canadian and French dual-national newcomer Avril Lavini.

Guo Xu knew that he must be going to accompany him, and the judges could not award the grand prize to him, the person who "played" the ballot. And he knew that Nora Jones would sweep five grand prizes and make a big splash. Her album "ceaayithme" has sold more than 15 million copies.

However, he decided to join in the Grammy Awards ceremony because he was free at that time. During that time, the Suns were going to play a road trip in the East, and their opponents were the Wizards, Celtics, and Knicks. He had no games on the holiday on the awards ceremony.

As early as before the season started, the league considered the possibility of Guo Xu participating in the Grammy and deliberately arranged this schedule. His songs became popular all over the world last summer, which is a good publicity stunt.

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

Guo Xu definitely can't sing his own song. O'Neal's voice cannot be sung live. He was struggling in the studio for a long time. The Grammy would not invite O'Neal and Kobe, because this year the media exposed the conflict between the OK group. The three of them would not be as touching as when the "Big Three Disbanded".

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

"You can contact her, of course if she agrees."

"Okay, I get it."

Guo Xu immediately made a plan. After leaving Los Angeles, Megan Fox was not there. He had a lot of free time and produced many songs at home. He also suggested that the invisible rich man Robert Smith of Los Angeles sign a combination of accompaniment, and several magical songs can be used directly. As long as Avril is willing to cooperate with him, the show will definitely be passed.

Guo Xu immediately called his agent. "Hapi, please help me contact the female singer Avril and discuss the Grammy cooperative performance. Just ask for an email address. I want to send her an audio."

"No problem, I'll reply to you later."

Now, Hapi expressed support for whatever Guo Xu wants to do. He felt that he should do more things he likes in his spare time. It was only a matter of time for Guo Xu to enter the ranks of superstars. He was popular and had a championship, but only his personal honor was lacking. As long as he led the Suns to a championship in the future, it would be enough.

Hapi contacted the record company signed by Avril and asked about the agent's phone number and her email address. Guo Xu sent the audio recorded before.

In the evening, Avril, who had participated in the business event, returned to her New York apartment, physically and mentally exhausted, but she could not rest immediately. 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 posted by Guo Xu in the email address, introducing some of his ideas on how to sing a magical male song into a chorus.

Avril clicked on the audio and was surprised to find that the accompaniment Guo Xu used when singing was a cello, and two cello fighting music, combining classical, popular and rock music.

Guo Xu sang only imitated the original songs and was not outstanding. The chorus was different, and it would become a "fighting song" between two people. As long as the organizer arranged it properly, they would definitely make a big splash at the Grammy Awards ceremony and contribute a classic performance.

Avril listened three times, and the more he listened, he became more and more energetic, and then called his agent. "Jackka, reply to Jason Guo, I promise to sing with him."

"Ah? You decided so quickly?" Jessica was a little worried: "Although he is very famous, he may not have time to rehearse if he wants to play NBA. It is risky for you to sing with him."

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