With the NCAA2005-2006 season coming to a perfect end.

The focus has also shifted from March Madness to the NBA Draft.

After the big awards ceremony, both Joakim Noah and Al Horford made it clear that they would not be participating in this year's draft, and that they both wanted to play another year and win another championship for their alma mater.

Their senior, Ronnie Brewer, officially announced his candidacy, and the swingman who can do everything on both ends of the NCAA offensive and defensive ends can't wait to land in the NBA.

When the reporter threw this question to Bruce Lee, who stole the biggest prize tonight, Li Zhen finally gave a positive response: "Yes, next, I will bring my talent to the NBA." ”

Li Zhen didn't know why he was using this sentence: he almost blurted it out.

And this sentence quickly made headlines in the basketball press the next day, and Bruce Lee, the biggest dark horse in the NCAA, the MOP winner of the Final Four, and known as the most commercially valuable, finally made a decision that he would bring his talent to the NBA.

The meaning of the so-called one stone stirring up a thousand waves is probably ... Within an hour of him saying this.

He met four of the NBA's most prestigious top agents.

The first thing he saw was David Frank, who accompanied Michael Jordan to become the god of basketball. David Frank has had a bleak time since Jordan retired, and he has been looking for a player who can come close to and surpass Michael Jordan in terms of commercial value and on-court achievement.

"I see Michael's shadow in you. You're the most Michael-like player I've ever met. Moreover, I think that once the commercial value of you is tapped, it is even possible to surpass LeBron James. ”

David Frank spent ten minutes building a blueprint for Bruce. Then he showed his professional ability, with contacts all over the basketball circle.

"I'm the one who can make you an NBA superstar fast. Believe me, no one is better at fighting for the good of the players than me. ”

David Frank's words are very moving, and there is Michael Jordan in front of him.

It makes it impossible to doubt his abilities.

However, in the end, Li Zhen politely rejected him. Not because he's bad, but because the positive energy baby tells him with a weak bioelectricity: I don't like him.

God knows... What role did David Frank play next to Michael Jordan back then. But since positive energy doesn't like it, then there must be something that is not so positive happening.

Subsequently, Li Zhen met with LeBron James's agent, the Goodwin brothers.

The two brothers appeared in front of Bruce at the same time, showing their sincerity to the NCAA's best point guard.

However, in the course of communication. Li Zhen can really feel that their resources are still leaning towards LeBron James.

It sounds like they just want to use Li Zhen's skin color to better open up the Asian market for James.

So, Li Zhen rejected them without any hesitation.

Then there is Bryant's agent, Pelinka, who is a very professional agent and very good at making profits for the players. But... Li Zhen still did not immediately agree to cooperate with him.

Because his reputation is not so good. He and Boozer broke the unspoken rules and blatantly violated their promises, which still haunts the entire league.

The last was Bill Duffy, who was the first to publicly declare Bruce Lee in the media as the most commercially valuable player in the NCAA. At the same time, he is also Yao Shu's American agent. And, unlike Pelinka, he has a very good reputation. He even did something that moved the players very much, he once caused Anthony Carter to give up the last year of his 4 million contract due to an operational mistake, but in the end he paid Anthony Carter $3 million out of his own pocket after helping Carter reach a $1 million contract with the Spurs.

Therefore, Li Zhen chatted with him quite harmoniously.

But in the end, it got stuck in the commission link. Bill Duffy wants an employment contract with a base salary plus a share of the sponsorship contract, but Lee clearly prefers to be paid something akin to an 'hourly wage'. It means that when Bill Duffy gives him a job, he bills by the hour.

As a result, the two sides are at an impasse.

But neither of them has lost interest in the other because of this, and both are waiting for the moment of compromise with the other.

Li Zhen after meeting with four top agents. He also met with Reebok's public relations manager in a cramped media room, and the professional manager, Jesse Foster, wanted to keep in close contact with Mr. Li, who told him that Reebok was more than happy to offer him a sponsorship contract.

It was just a tentative encounter.

Therefore, Li Zhen did not have in-depth communication with him. It is only a superficial understanding that Reebok is willing to provide a contract with a total of no more than $8 million to sign itself.

This is indeed an amazing asset for a fledgling college student.

But Li Zhen didn't show any salivation, which made Jesse Foster a little frustrated.

At... After a day in Indianapolis, Li returned home with his parents to New York for three days. and across the whole of America back to the West Coast.

As a top student, even if he announced his participation in the NBA draft. It is also necessary to complete this year's academic assessment, which is the minimum respect for knowledge.

And... He had promised his parents that he would receive a Stanford degree within two years.

Having a diploma is always an extra guarantee.

And when Bruce returned to school, his life changed dramatically. The success of March Madness and the popularity of the media have made him a well-deserved school celebrity...... And it's also a celebrity who appears in the classroom every day.

He was sniped by various girls almost every day, and it was even rumored that some girls formed a hunting team.

It made him miserable. He didn't enjoy this feeling of being sought after at all, and he didn't enjoy the feeling of being treated as Tang monk meat by those female classmates... It made him feel very insecure.

So, I vigorously accelerated my study progress, and finally completed all the credits of this semester within a week.

He will then travel to Los Angeles.

He and Bill Duffy finally agreed on a salary. He will pay Bill Duffy a base salary of $180,000 a year, but Bill Duffy will take no more than one percent of any of Lee's NBA contracts. In addition, he will assist Li Zhen in handling commercial sponsorship in North America, but he will not have exclusive rights. He will receive a 6% commission on any contract that he brokers and concludes. The contract is for two years, and after the expiration of two years, Li Zhen has a non-renewal clause.

The way Li Zhen took was... Cash benefits are increased, but the share ratio is reduced.

He is very confident in himself.
