With the NCAA 2005-2006 season coming to a perfect end.

People's attention has also shifted from March Madness to the NBA Draft.

After the grand award ceremony, both Joakim Noah and Al Horford made it clear that they would not participate in this year's draft. They both hope to play for another year and win another championship for their alma mater.

Their senior Ronnie Brewer has officially announced his candidacy. This versatile forward and guard on both offense and defense in the NCAA can't wait to land in the NBA.

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

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

And this sentence quickly became the headlines of the basketball media the next day. Bruce Lee, the biggest dark horse in the NCAA, winner of the Final Four MVP, and known as the strongest commercial value, finally made a decision. He will bring his talents to the NBA.

.

The so-called "one stone stirs up a thousand waves" probably means... within an hour after he finished saying this.

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

The first person he saw was David Frank, who accompanied Michael Jordan to become the god of basketball. After Jordan retired, David Frank spent a period of bleak days. He has been looking for someone who can have unlimited business value and achievements on the court.

Players who are closer to and better than Michael Jordan.

"I see the shadow of Michael in you. You are the player who looks most like Michael I have ever seen. Moreover, I think that once your commercial value is discovered, it may even surpass LeBron James."

David Frank spent ten minutes building a blueprint for Bruce. Then he showed off his professional abilities and connections throughout the basketball circle.

"I am the person who can make you an NBA superstar quickly. Believe me, no one is better at fighting for the interests of players than me."

David Frank's words are very moving, and Michael Jordan has successful experience before him.

No one can doubt his ability.

However, Li Zhen still declined him in the end. Not because he was not good, but because the positive energy baby told him with weak bioelectricity: I don't like him.

God knows...what role David Frank played next to Michael Jordan back then. But since positive energy doesn't like it, then there must be something less positive happening.

Later, Li Zhen met with LeBron James’s agents, the Goodwin brothers.

The two brothers appeared in front of Bruce at the same time, showing their sincerity towards the strongest point guard in the NCAA.

However, during the communication process, Li Zhen could really feel that their resources were 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.

Therefore, Li Zhen rejected them without any hesitation.

Next is Bryant's agent Pelinka. From his conversation, it is not difficult to find that he is a very professional agent who is very good at extracting benefits for players. But... Li Zhen still did not immediately agree to cooperate with him.

.

Because his reputation is not that good. The fact that he and Boozer broke the unwritten rules and blatantly violated their promises still makes the entire league brood.

The last one is Bill Duffy. Bill Duffy was the first to publicly declare in the media that Bruce Lee is the most commercially valuable player in the NCAA. He is also Yao Huang's American agent. Moreover, unlike Pelinka,

, his reputation is very good. 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 error, but in the end he helped Carter reach an agreement with the Spurs.

After a $1 million signing, he paid $3 million out of his own pocket to Anthony Carter.

Therefore, Li Zhen chatted quite harmoniously with him.

But in the end, it got stuck in the commission link. Bill Duffy wanted to get an employment contract with a basic salary plus a share of the sponsorship contract, but Li Zhen obviously wanted to be paid something similar to an 'hourly wage'. This meant that Bill Duffy was giving him

When you work, you are billed by the hour.

The two sides reached a deadlock.

But neither of them lost interest in each other because of this, and each was waiting for the moment when the other would compromise.

After Li Zhen met with four top agents, he then met with Reebok's public relations manager in a narrow media room. This professional manager named Jesse Foster hoped to maintain close contact with Li Zhen, and he

Tell Li Zhen that Reebok is very happy to offer him a sponsorship contract.

This is just a tentative contact.

Therefore, Li Zhen did not communicate with him in depth. He only had a superficial understanding that Reebok was willing to sign him with a contract worth no more than 8 million US dollars.

For a fledgling college student, this is indeed an amazing wealth.

But Li Zhen didn't show any sign of salivating, which made Jesse Foster feel a little frustrated.

After spending a day in Indianapolis, Li Zhen returned to his home in New York with his parents and stayed for three days. Then he crossed the entire United States and returned to the West Coast.

As a top student, even if you declare your participation in the NBA draft, you still have to complete this year's academic assessment. This is the most basic respect for knowledge.

And...he has promised his parents that he must obtain a degree from Stanford within two years.

Having a diploma is always more of a guarantee.

After Bruce returned to campus, his life changed drastically. The success of March Madness and the media's pursuit made him a well-deserved school celebrity... and a celebrity who appeared in the classroom every day.

He was sniped by various girls almost every day, and there were even rumors that some girls formed a hunting team.

This made him miserable. He didn't enjoy the feeling of being sought after at all, and he didn't enjoy the feeling of being treated like a monk by those female classmates... This made him feel very insecure.

Therefore, I vigorously accelerated my study progress and finally completed all the credits for this semester within one week.

Then, he will head to Los Angeles.

He and Bill Duffy finally reached an agreement on salary. He will pay Bill Duffy a basic salary of US$180,000 per year. However, Bill Duffy's commission on any NBA contract with Li Zhen will not exceed 1%. In addition, Bill Duffy's commission on any NBA contract with Li Zhen will not exceed 1%.

, he will assist Li Zhen in handling commercial sponsorship in North America, but he will not enjoy exclusive rights. For any contract brokered and reached by him, he will receive a 6% commission. The contract period is two years, and after the expiration of two years

, Li Zhen has a non-renewal clause.

The method Li Zhen adopted was... to increase cash benefits, but lower the share ratio.
Chapter completed!
