The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

"Boss! You are indeed here!"

On the way back to the arena, Zuo Li met the cat and mouse duo who were walking here. The two were obviously in a state of excitement, and when they met Zuo Li, they hugged without saying a word.

"Boss, that's amazing! I'm short-sighted, I'm so stupid, I even suspected that the boss couldn't lift it, but I didn't expect that you are now the new streetball king! The pride of Harlem!" Jerry said excitedly.

Zuo Li: "???"

Good guy!

You still think so! ?

If I knew that you thought I couldn't lift it, I would have hammered you to death, but think about it or forget it, at least he is also his first fan.

An elbow blocked Jerry's next nonsense.

"How do you know I'm here?" Zuo Li asked.

"Tom said, he said you might come back to the old stadium to see."

Zuo Li turned his head to look at Tom, and Tom smiled embarrassedly: "Boss is a man of affection."

He patted Tom on the shoulder and said nothing.

"Let's go, boss. The coaches are still waiting. By the way, there is also the boss of AND1. He said he won't leave today until he sees you."

When the three of them returned to the arena, most of the original fans had dispersed, and the rest of them were happily talking about the game with the people around them. Just like before, it won’t be long before this game will be played in the streetball circle. Everyone knows that Zuo Li will be even more famous than he is now.

But for these, Zuo Li doesn't care, the reputation in the streetball circle is enough now, he has fulfilled his promise, so he will not play streetball in a short time, but to concentrate on training and strengthen his own strength.

Although long-term streetball training can also improve one's strength, it is not conducive to adapting to regular games in the future. Just look at Alstom. The strength on the street court is not directly proportional to the performance on the field. A person who can control the wind and rain on the court may not necessarily be able to mix well in the NBA, and vice versa.

But now, the most important thing is of course the signing with AND1. He thought that after this competition, the signing should go smoothly. As long as AND1 is not stupid, they will not let this opportunity to sign him go.

Sure enough, when seeing Zuo Li again, AND1 boss Sethberg personally went out to discuss the contract with Zuo Li.

"Zuo Li, congratulations, your strength is worthy of all this. We all agreed to your previous invitation, and I am willing to increase the contract to 15 a year, and I will give you a signature sneaker. What do you think? How about it," Seisberg said.

"Then I went to high school to go pro and didn't play streetball very much..."

"Of course there is no problem. You are very young now, but when you need to constantly hone yourself and learn knowledge, redundant games will only affect your future development. I can make decisions about these. You can go to high school with peace of mind. Here, high school leagues are also very important. You are welcome, and we can even contact you with good schools, so you can play in the NCAA in the future." Sethberg was so sincere that the people around him looked stupid.

"Well, I don't need high school first. I agree to sign the contract, but we need time to discuss the details of the contract." Zuo Li nodded, and Sethberg's attitude was a bit beyond his expectation. He thought it would take some time Tongue, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Oh, by the way, I want to introduce my brother to you." Zuo Li pulled Jerry and Tom who were full of envy: "These two guys have been training with me for the past few years, and their level is passable. They are also well-known in Harlem, you see, if possible, can you sign them too."

"Boss!" Jerry was shocked, and Tom was the same, but at the same time he was a little moved. It is true that he can think of them at this time.

"Well, if the strength really meets our requirements, we are naturally willing to absorb them. AND1 welcomes streetball players from all walks of life to join." Sethberg obviously has never heard the names of Jerry and Tom, but since Zuo Li recommended Yes, then he is still willing to give it a chance. After all, it still needs to be investigated. If it is possible, then join a newcomer with good strength. If not, then there is nothing to lose.

"Of course, strength comes first, but I believe he will not let us down, will he, Jerry, Tom."

"Yes! I will do my best!" The cat and mouse duo nodded heavily, and they vowed that they would never embarrass Zuo Li and the orphanage.

"OK, then we'll see you tomorrow!" After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zuo Li shook hands with Sethberg. Although the contract had not been formally signed, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time.

Neither Zuo Li nor Sethberg expected that this simple handshake would become the beginning of a legend.

Farewell to Sethberg, and agreed on the signing time tomorrow. By the way, let the cat and mouse duo strengthen their training recently, come to the streets of Harlem to play jungle, and try to sign AND1. After all, they are different from Zuo Li. Their age has already missed the date of departure The best time for a career, being able to mix in the streetball circle is the best choice, which will also allow them to really get rid of poverty and get out of the slums of Harlem.

After getting the guarantee from the two, Zuo Li was about to go back to the orphanage to rest, and he went to find Mr. Derek by the way. He was underage. According to the law here, he had to go with him for the contract.

But when Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, just as the three of them were about to leave, Hibbert, Derek, and the man in the suit just now chased them from the entrance of the arena.

"Huh~! Zuo Li, where did you go, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Hibbert trotted over and was out of breath, with his big belly trembling, very Q-bomb.

"I just finished talking about the contract with the people from AND1. Where are you sitting? I didn't see you and thought you had already left. By the way, Mr. Derek, let's go back and talk about the contract." Zuo Li quickly helped Hold Hibbert to prevent him from kneeling directly.

"We waited for you in the arena for a long time, but we didn't expect you to run away. Fortunately, I have sharp eyes, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Hibbert managed to catch his breath: "Derek, tell me."

"Leave the contract to me. I have studied as a lawyer before, and I won't let you suffer. But now, let's talk about business. Let's go to the coffee shop over there, Tom Jerry, you go back first, We'll be there soon," said Mr Derek.

"Oh, okay." Zuo Li rubbed his head, so mysterious, he had to go to the coffee shop.

However, Zuo Li didn't object, and the four of them came to the coffee shop, and Hibbert didn't wait for the coffee to be served, so he went straight to the topic.

"Zuo Li, you beat Alstom today, and you have almost no opponents on the streets of New York. What is your plan for the future? Do you still want to go to high school, or continue to play streetball?"

"Um, of course I'm in high school, and my goal is to pursue a career path. We've said it many times." Zuo Li looked puzzled.

"Okay! Then have you thought about which high school you want to go to!"

"Well... my grades are not bad, but I guess it's the high school in Harlem." It's not that Zuo Li didn't want to go to a good high school, but it's also difficult in the United States, because the United States has 12 years of compulsory education, so high school is also difficult. It’s not that you can go wherever you want. Grades, money, and geographical location are all indispensable, unless you are really powerful, then it’s another story.

"Go to his high school in Harlem, there is no future there, I will recommend a high school to you today, that is..."

"Stuyvesant High School!"
