Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"I know, I know you are a good person." The tall girl raised her head and blinked at Zuo Li and said.

Zuo Li shrugged, wondering why he was suddenly dealt the good guy card. However, Zuo Li didn't care. A good guy card was just a good guy card. Instead, he asked for the 'trophy' in Tom's hand.

"It's not easy to get to Fifth Avenue from here. We will send you to the edge of Harlem. Then there are buses, subway stations, and you can also take taxis. Oh, by the way, here are your wallets and mobile phones. Just now Tom

Found it on those bastards."

"Okay, I can call my family and ask them to pick us up. My companion is not in a good condition." The girl took the phone and wallet. It could be seen that she had regained her composure.

"That's the best." Zuo Li nodded and gave her a high look. As a rich girl who grew up in a honey jar, it's quite good to be able to calm down so quickly when things happen.

The phone call was quickly finished, and all that was left was to cross a few streets. Zuo Li also relaxed and continued to think about the next thing in his mind.

But obviously, Zuo Li couldn't calm down. Although the girl next to him was short, she took two steps and raised her head to take a look. She looked like he was hesitant to speak, which made Zuo Li very uncomfortable.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Zuo Li was really afraid that she would suffocate him to death.

"Here, what's your name?"

"Left to the left, standing to the left, standing to the left." Zuo Li's last words were spoken in Chinese.

"Asian?"

"Chinese." Although even Mr. Derek doesn't know where he is from, since Zuo Li is here, it can only be Chinese. Even if the King of Heaven is here, he must be Chinese.

"Zuo...li, I remember it!" The little girl said it in a serious manner, and read it sentence by sentence in standard American Chinese.

Zuo Li scratched his head, why does this thing remember my name? You can't think that we can meet again in the future. We are not the same people. Do you still want to take revenge? No, repay me. You really don't need it. I just passed by and saved someone.

, I really have no idea of ​​becoming a superhero.

"What do you do? Have you ever learned Kung Fu? I just felt like I was watching a movie."

Good guy, there are so many problems.

"Well, not every Chinese has learned Kung Fu. I just happen to know a little bit. Moreover, I am a street ball player and can't make movies." Zuo Li felt that he needed to educate these people who think of Kung Fu when mentioning Chinese.

I have done some simple science popularization, but think about my performance just now...

Well, the misunderstanding must be bigger.

"Street ball, is it true?! Then have you heard of Rucker Park? I just want to come and see it. Have you ever played there?"

Unexpectedly, talking about basketball actually made the girl excited. Looking at Zuo Li's expression, she was even more surprised.

Zuo Li had a headache. Is there a hundred thousand reasons?

But after hearing this topic, Tom and Jerry, who were bored behind the scenes, no longer felt sleepy.

"Rucker Park, then you must have heard the name 'king'. This is the man in front of you. He is the latest king of Rucker Park!"

"How can you miss this guy when watching street ball? He is super strong. Although he is still very young, it won't be long before his name will be resounding throughout the United States!"

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!" Zuo Li hurriedly stopped the two people's unwarranted flattery. Although it was the truth, keeping a low profile was king: "Don't listen to their nonsense, I'm just a newcomer who debuted for two days."

"Well, here we are, that's your aunt's car."

As soon as Zuo Li finished speaking, they arrived at their destination. A luxury Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle was parked on the side of the road, which seemed a bit out of place with the shabby Harlem area.

"Oh..." The girl was a little disappointed when she was interrupted halfway through the story, but it was obvious that Zuo Li had no intention of continuing, and people had already gotten out of the Mercedes-Benz, so she had to leave.

"Let's go, guys, go back to evening training." Zuo Li stopped early and watched the two of them walking forward, then he walked back with Tom and Jerry arm in arm.

Looking at Zuo Li's back, the girl suddenly felt sad. Maybe she would never see this parting again in this life, so she ran two steps quickly and shouted to Zuo Li's back: "Zuo Li, my name is Elizabeth Orr."

Sen, remember my name!"

Zuo Li didn't look back, calmly waving his hand in farewell.

"What did she say her name was? What's Bai? Forget it, it's not important. Let's go. It's been too long. Mr. Derek should be anxious."

Zuo Li continued to move forward. This incident was just a small episode for him now. Who could have imagined the future...

…

Three days later, Zuo Li continued to show off his prowess in Rucker Park. There was an endless stream of people challenging Zuo Li in the past three days, but Zuo Li still maintained a complete victory, rarely allowing his opponents to score, and his crushing attitude also made him 'king'.

's reputation is getting louder and louder.

Just this afternoon, and1's agent finally appeared in Rucker Park as Zuo Li expected.

"Hello, I am Ford, and I would like to extend a formal invitation to you on behalf of and1." No small talk, standard American style.

After saying that, he handed over the contract. Zuo Li didn't waste any time, opened it, scanned it, and said to himself: "It's just as I expected."

In the contract, the main condition is that Zuo Li signs a 10-year contract, with a bonus of US$30,000 per year for the first five years, plus an increase of 20% per year for the next five years. The bonus is also plus a separate bonus. Zuo Li will be provided with 5 pairs of the latest shoes every quarter.

Style and1 sneakers and multiple sets of training clothes.

At first glance, in 2003, before inflation, it was already very difficult for a 14-year-old to sign a contract worth RMB 30,000 per year without bonuses. This was much better than many unknown street ball players.

However, this is far from Zuo Li's idea.

"Sorry, this doesn't meet my psychological expectations, so let's forget it." Zuo Li handed the contract back.

"Well, think about this, we are the most experienced, and the conditions can be negotiated." Ford said, in the past, if you didn't sign, you would be defeated, but Zuo Li defeated Tai Lung, and he had also observed Zuo Li in the past two days.

He has great potential, so naturally he won’t give up so easily.

Sure enough, Zuo Li took the bait, smiled slightly, and took advantage of the situation to state his conditions.

"I won't sign for such a long time. It's only 5 years at most. It's 120,000 US dollars per year, plus bonuses. There's an unlimited supply of sneakers and jerseys. Moreover, I won't join your tour easily because I don't want to play streetball."

It was for a promise that I would go to high school immediately and pursue a career path."

"Um, I have to go back and ask about this." Ford wiped his sweat. Obviously, he was also frightened by Zuo Li's conditions. This was completely different from what he thought when he came here. Moreover, there was really too much money. In this situation,

In this era, US$120,000 is already the annual income of an average middle-class person.

Ford left, and he needed to report Zuo Li's conditions.

Looking at Ford's back, Zuo Li smiled: "Everything is under control."
