Time always moves forward at a fixed pace.

But for the laid-back Bruce, it passed very quickly.

In a flash, it passed from May to June.

Although his agent, Bill Duffy, has complained about his recent 'idleness', Lee really knows... What this guy is really complaining about is: why did he reject the olive branch thrown by Nike, Adi and Reebok.

"If you were to work with these big sponsors, the basketball media wouldn't treat you as a joke like they do now. Naturally, the sponsor's PR department will take care of this, and even the basketball experts who focus their firepower on you will change their tune. ”

Bill Duffy always said something serious: "Son, this is a business alliance. You're playing with fire by doing so now. If you don't work with a brand, you'll quickly get killed by negative press, or... You can't even get on the news. When it comes to the NBA, those awards won't be your turn. ”

But Bruce is a man who is round on the outside and square on the inside, he has read the quotations of leaders since he was a child, and he knows that striking iron requires its own hardness.

Now, the positive energy covers me to fight, what are I afraid of?

Li Zhen thinks that sooner or later he will reach the top.

In that case, why come to a passive agreement with others so early?

So, he always said to Bill Duffy: "Don't worry, old brother, let the bullets fly a little longer." Looking at Dwyane now, don't you think he regretted signing a contract with Converse early in the first place? ”

As we all know, Converse can only be regarded as a younger brother in the field of basketball shoes today, and it is impossible for it to give the Flash such a good publicity resource. And, for brands, they're basically only responsible for the 'first-time' players, and even if you're a superstar, the treatment will be greatly reduced. That's why Kobe Bryant's sponsorship contract, signed shoe positioning is far inferior to LeBron James.

Now, Dwyane Wade is playing like a super-guard, taking out the veteran Detroit Pistons at a sharp pace in the Eastern Conference Finals, and after reaching the Finals, he played superbly to overturn the Dallas Mavericks with a definite momentum.

He became the fastest Platinum generation player to win the Finals MVP in 2003. Moreover, everyone thinks that his performance in the six games of the Finals even surpassed that of Michael Jordan that year. God operator Pat Riley was even more excited to crown him as the god of basketball who was 5 centimeters shorter.

As for his partner Shackle O'Neal, he is even more forcefully touted: The Flash has surpassed the Black Mamba, he is the strongest defender I have ever worked with.

Everyone knows who he is aiming for.

Interestingly, on the night of the Miami championship, Kobe Bryant called Li Zhen, and he stressed to Bruce: We must make a comeback next season.

He swore by it, but Li Zhen was confused: hasn't been drafted yet? Does this already treat me as one of its own?

And, haven't you watched the news? Now all the basketball media is making fun of my performance during the tryout, saying that I should go to Harvard to further my education and not run to the NBA to give me a head.

"Are you so sure that your personal brand can be a big success, and then you can successfully bind it to a certain big brand and make a lot of money?"

Bill Duffy was always worried about this: "It's not that your mother has built a good design team for you, and you can succeed with a foundry in China." Do you have a sales channel? Have you built a sufficient sales network? ”

"Oh! I told Ashley about it. She wants to work with me, she doesn't just want to co-sign with me. At the same time, her fashion brand has sales channels all over the United States. And, she said she could get my sneakers to show up at Walmart. ”

Bruce was always so confident.

Said Ashley.

Bill Duffy was even more annoyed.

The biggest news that Bruce made at the end of May was... He actually went to Los Angeles with Ashley to attend the summer new product launch in Los Angeles, and the two took the stage in the finale.

This makes the fashion and entertainment circles extremely boiling, because when Bruce combs his long hair, his angular face and black pupils give people a strong sense of Mr. Fashionista. Famous fashion magazines even did not hesitate to praise him with an entire report, and the fashion witch even praised him from the bottom of her heart: "He was born to be suitable for the runway." ”

At the same time, Ashley also announced: "The Olsen sisters' new album will be released nationwide on July 1 with Bruce Lee's debut album." All the lyrics and music are written by Bruce alone. ”

I have to admit that this is a beautiful advertisement.

The advertising effect is out of the circle.

The basketball world is under fire: What is this? I just got taught a lesson in Orlando, and I turned around to be a model and released an album, do you still want to play basketball?

"If I were Bruce Lee, I would be building muscle like crazy in the gym right now, instead of showing off his handsome face and bad mermaid line on the runway."

Reggie Miller's criticism is very sharp.

"I think this guy should have given up on the NBA, and I don't understand why David Stern put him on the Green House list for the draft. Is it because he can make girls who only look at their faces scream? Or is it because he is Chinese? However, the NBA is never about playing with faces. Moreover, there is only one Yao in China! ”

The remarks of the famous commentator Charles actually represent the voices of the vast majority of rookies who have not entered the green house: Why? This guy has now fallen to the second round, why should he still be in the green house? It's cheating, it's favoritism, it's compromising with business.

All of a sudden, the sour air was vigorous.

Even many rookies have declared in the media on the condition of anonymity: If he enters the NBA, I will definitely see him once and clean him up once.

In an instant, Bruce became the biggest public enemy and the biggest soft persimmon among the rookies of the class of 2006.

In this regard, Li Zhen is extremely calm. He is not afraid of confrontation now, he is not afraid of people coming to the door with malice, he is afraid that no one hates him.

These days, he has actually not been idle. After returning to Los Angeles from Orlando, he trained with Kwame Brown almost every day, and later... Nick Young also joined.

However, it is a pity...... Despite the active training every day, I sweat non-stop. But the talent has never been irrigated, and we need to redouble our efforts.

"Help me book my ticket. I will arrive in New York as soon as possible. Then, the interview with the Chinese TV station you mentioned will also be arranged. ”

Bruce confesses to Bill Duffy on the phone.

With the draft just around the corner, it's time to head to Madison Garden.

Although he is now burdened with the promise of three teams, he still does not have a bottom in his heart.

The whole world knows that the draft is full of accidents, and no one knows what will happen in the next second.

Especially this year, as a draft year, anything can happen.

"Hopefully there's a good outcome."

Bruce shook off his tailored suit, he was ready for a new journey.
