With the ncaa 2005-2006 season draws a perfect stop.

People's attention also shifted from the crazy March to the NBA draft.

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

Their senior, Ronnie Brewer, officially announced his candidacy. The omnipotent forward-back swingman at both ends of the ncaa can't wait to land on the NBA.

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

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

And this sentence quickly became the headlines of the basketball media the next day. Bruce Lee, the biggest dark horse of ncaa, the winner of the mop of the quarter-finals and the most commercially valuable, finally made a decision. He will bring his talent to nba .

The so-called one-stone arousal of a thousand waves probably means ... within an hour after he said this sentence.

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

The first thing he saw was David Frank who accompanied Michael Jordan to become the **** of basketball. After David Frank retired from Jordan, he had a gloomy day. He was always looking for a player who could approach Michael Jordan infinitely and exceed Michael Jordan in terms of commercial value and course achievements.

"I saw Michael's shadow on you. You are the most Michael-like player I have ever seen. And, I think that once your commercial value is tapped, it may even surpass LeBron James."

David Frank spent ten minutes building a blueprint for Bruce. Then he showed his professional ability and connections with the entire basketball circle.

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

David Frank's words are very touching, and Michael Jordan's successful experience is ahead.

It makes people unable to doubt his ability.

However, Li Zhen rejected him in the end. Not because he was bad, but because the positive energy baby used a weak bioelectricity to tell him: I don't like him.

God knows ... what role David Frank played next to Michael Jordan. But since positive energy does not like it, there must be something less positive.

Later, 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 strongest point guard.

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

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 talk, it is not difficult to find that he is a very professional agent, and he is very good at grabbing benefits for players. But ... Li Zhen still did not immediately agree to cooperate with him.

Because his criticism is not so good. The fact that he and Boozer broke the unspoken rules and blatantly violated the commitment has so far made the entire league cherish.

The last one is Bill Duffy. Bill Duffy is the first player to publicly declare Bruce Lee as the most commercially valuable player in ncaa. He is also Yao Mei's US agent. Moreover, unlike Pelinka, his criticism is very good. He even did something that impressed the players. He once caused Anthony Carter to give up the last year ’s 4 million contract because of an operational error, but eventually he helped Carter and the Spurs reach a $ 1 million contract , And paid $ 3 million to Anthony Carter out of pocket.

Therefore, Li Zhen chatted with him quite harmoniously.

But in the end it was stuck in the commission link. Bill Duffy hopes to get a base salary plus an employment contract divided into sponsorship contracts, but Li Zhen obviously wants to pay something like ‘hourly salary’. It means that Bill Duffy billed on time when he worked for him.

As a result, the two sides have reached a deadlock.

But neither of them lost interest in the other, and each was waiting for the other to compromise.

After meeting with four top brokers, Li Zhen. He also met with Reebok ’s public relations manager in a narrow media room. The professional manager named Jesse Foster hoped to maintain close contact with Li Zhen, and he told Li Zhen that Reebok was very happy to open him Sponsorship contract.

This is just a tentative contact.

Therefore, Li Zhen did not communicate in depth with him. It's just superficially understood that Reebok is willing to provide contracts with a total amount of less than 8 million US dollars to sign himself.

For the fledgling college students, this is indeed an amazing asset.

But Li Zhen didn't show any salivation at all, which made Jesse Foster somewhat frustrated.

After ... Indianapolis stayed for a day, Li Zhen and his parents returned to their home in New York, where they stayed for three days. Back across the United States and back to the West Coast.

As a school bully, even announced to participate in the NBA draft. It is also necessary to complete this year's academic assessment, which is the minimum respect for knowledge.

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

There is always a guarantee for a diploma.

After Bruce returned to campus, his life changed dramatically. The success of Crazy March and the popularity of the media have made him a well-deserved school celebrity ... and a celebrity who appears in the classroom every day.

He was snipered by various girls almost every day, and even some girls came out to form a hunting team.

This made him miserable. He didn't enjoy the feeling of being sought after at all, and he even didn't enjoy the feeling of being treated by those female classmates as Tang Sengrou ... This made him very insecure.

So, vigorously speed up the study progress, and finally complete all the credits of this semester in one week.

Then he will travel to Los Angeles.

He and Bill Duffy finally reached a consensus on salary. He will pay Bill Duffy a base salary of $ 180,000 a year, but Bill Duffy ’s draw on any of Li Zhen ’s nba contracts does not exceed 1%. In addition, he will assist Li Zhen with commercial sponsorship in North America, but he does not enjoy exclusive rights. He will get a 6% commission for any contract that he leads and concludes. The contract period is two years. After two years, Li Zhen has a non-renewal clause.

Li Zhen's approach is to ... increase cash treatment, but lower the share ratio.

He is very confident in himself.
