Looking at this text message, Li Lei couldn't help but think of an incident last season.

One morning, Wade was excited to come to the American Airlines Center.

Seeing Wade's excited appearance, Li Lei thought that he had knocked on the drug.

As a result, Wade showed off to Li Lei: "Kobe Bryant sent me a text message, and he asked me for advice on how to deal with the blocking." ”

How could Li Lei believe it, and directly beat Wade.

Until Wade took out his mobile phone and flipped out the text message, Li Lei coughed twice embarrassedly: "Ahem, you should have taken it out earlier." Otherwise, how would I know you didn't lie to me, hehehehehe! ”

Kobe Bryant actually asked Wade for advice.

In terms of breakthroughs, Kobe Bryant himself is very strong, especially Peter Pan during the No. 8 period.

However, the use of blocking and pick-and-roll breakthroughs is Wade's strong point.

In the entire league, Wade is also one of the best in dealing with blocking and pick-and-roll breakthroughs, and he is indeed better than Kobe.

What Li Lei didn't expect was that Kobe Bryant would ask Wade for advice.

At that time, Ko was in the middle of the day, second only to O'Neal and Duncan in the whole league, and there was no doubt that he was the top three in the league.

What about Wade?

A newcomer, in the Heat team, is still ranked behind O'Neal and Li Lei, and the team is only the third leader.

Kobe Bryant is a shameless question.

Sage Cloud: Don't be ashamed to ask!

But in fact, there are a few more people who can actually do it.

At least if it is replaced by Li Lei, it will be difficult to open this mouth.

Li Lei was thinking at that time: Kobe Bryant, what a strange person!

Later, Li Lei heard another story.

When Kobe Bryant first entered the league, he wanted to challenge Jordan with high spirits.

Before playing the Bulls for the first time, Bryant watched Jordan's footage countless times, mimicking his movements.

On that day, Bryant also bravely launched a duel against Jordan.

But what's even more interesting is that Bryant asked Jordan in the middle of the game: "Hey, Michael, how do you feel the position of the defender when you are playing with your back?" ”

One dares to ask, the other dares to teach.

Jordan: "Feel the defender's position with your legs!" ”

At that time, Li Lei still didn't feel much.

Until today, Kobe Bryant sent a text message to Li Lei, asking for advice on the technique of running without the ball, and Li Lei was moved.

As Li Lei himself knows, Kobe Bryant has asked others for advice four times.

Jordan, Olajuwon, Wade, Li Lei......

And among them, Wade and Li Lei are inferior to Kobe, which is shameless to ask.

Li Lei suddenly thought: Kobe Bryant may not like the media, maybe he has few friends, or maybe he has a lot of problems...... But when it comes to basketball, he's a pure and authentic basketball player.

For this alone, Kobe Bryant deserves Li Lei's respect.

Li Lei quickly replied with a text message.

"Kobe, I asked Mr. Tim Graffer in the offseason, and he used to coach you. If you're interested, come to Memphis. I teach you to run without the ball, you teach me to play with your back in the low post. ”

"Good!"

Bryant's reply was just one word.

Li Lei couldn't help but smile, this is really Kobe!

……

Later, Li Lei attended a press conference.

Naturally, he became the center of attention.

"Stone, how do you feel about being the NBA playoff top scorer right now?"

Li Lei: "I'm very happy! Great! Of course, it's also tiring! ”

"You scored 66 points today, does that have anything to do with Mikar?"

Li Lei: "No, I just want to win." ”

"Do you think you're ahead of Jordan now?"

Li Lei: "Of course...... No! ”

After that, Li Lei even received a call from NBA commissioner David Stern.

"Popovich said you wanted to disgust you in order to be the next Michael!"

"But I think that guy is on the right track, and you're the next Michael!"

Stern has a very high opinion of Li Lei.

What he does best is star-making.

And his biggest dream in life is to promote globalization in the NBA.

In Li Lei, Stern saw hope.

China is a bigger market than North America, and Li Lei is the best bridge to develop this market.

From this moment on, Stern has made up his mind to create the next basketball god?

In the early morning of the next day, Jordan and Li Lei sat in a luxury private bus.

Jordan's royal chef made a simple late-night snack for the two.

It is said to be simple, but it is a way of cooking.

The ingredients themselves are very high-end, and Li Lei has only heard of them, and they are probably about as expensive as gold.

NBA players often play late at night or early in the morning, hungry, and eating late-night snacks is a common occurrence.

Li Lei is also not polite, he doesn't eat for nothing, and he eats directly.

Jordan, on the other hand, is much more elegant, patiently using a knife and fork, tasting in small bites, and looking very delicate.

Wait until Li Lei swallows the dates and eats them all. Jordan ate a small piece, put down his knife and fork, and slowly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Li Lei knew that business was coming.

Jordan said, "At the beginning of the season, your first contract with Nike expired. I heard that your second contract has not been negotiated yet? ”

Li Lei nodded, this is not a secret.

In view of Li Lei's performance, Bill Duffy discussed with Li Lei, hoping that Nike could give him a sharing contract.

The so-called sharing contract means that for every pair of Li Lei's sneakers sold, Li Lei can get a certain percentage of dividends.

It's a contract that only the best players can get.

However, Nike is unwilling, they want to pay it all in one lump sum as before, and set how much endorsement fee each year.

As a result, the two sides had a disagreement, and the contract has not yet been negotiated.

Jordan said: "I know you want a share contract, but Nike won't give it. Then come to AJ, I'll give it to you! The percentage is negotiable, and I am willing to make concessions. ”

Jordan said this, looking sincere.

However, Li Lei was silent for a while and never spoke.

Jordan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I know what you mean." ”

"Actually, before I came today, I was very confident in recruiting you. But looking at your performance today, I already know that it's almost impossible. How can people like us be willing to be subordinate? Still, I wanted to give it a try. ”

Jordan's words were really sincere.

Li Lei could only shake his head: "Michael, I'm sorry." ”

Jordan waved his hand: "This is your right, you don't need to be sorry."

Isn't there an old saying in China: business is not benevolence and righteousness?

Maybe one day in the future, we will have the opportunity to cooperate. ”

The meeting between Jordan and Li Lei came and went quickly.

Afterwards, Li Lei called Bill Duffy.

"Bill, since Nike is not sincere, don't talk about it. Although the domestic sports brand is a little worse, it has much more sincerity than Nike. You negotiate as soon as possible, don't delay any longer, and try to settle this matter before next season. ”

Bill Duffy said yes.

Today, Li Lei is Bill's most important customer.
