Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

and1's agent came with a confident face and left with a cold sweat on his face. He held Zuo Li's signing conditions in his hand and felt like a hot potato.

Ford felt that Zuo Li was really crazy. A guy who had never played a few games and was an Asian dared to offer such conditions and was not ready to play street ball. Do you understand the value of Harlem?

, you think you are one of those great gods who have been famous for a long time, you think you are someone like Alston who can enter the NBA from the street, and you still have to go to high school. Is it necessary for you to go to high school in Harlem?

If it had been anyone else, he would have forgotten about Zuo Li a long time ago. Who dares to ask for such conditions, thinking that and1 is just a free earner!

But this matter was personally supervised by their boss, so he decided to go through the motions and report Zuo Li's conditions so that their boss could see for himself how much this Asian boy couldn't recognize him!

"Hey, hey, don't think that you are invincible just because you were lucky enough to win against Tai Lung. Boy, you are still very young." Ford stopped lingering and drove directly to the headquarters. He couldn't stand it for a moment anymore. He wanted his boss to do it now.

You know this kid’s wolfish ambition!

As for Rucker Park, it wasn't until the sound of the Ford car starting that the two Tom and Jerry brothers closed their open mouths. Just now when Zuo Li and Ford were negotiating terms, they were in shock, especially when Zuo Li

When the immediate offer was $120,000 a year, Jerry almost swallowed the basketball in his hand.

"Boss, you are awesome. I can't even imagine such conditions." Jerry walked up and gave Zuo Li a thumbs up.

What is the concept of $120,000? In 2003, the per capita disposable income in the United States was $28,805, and the per capita income was $35,000. As the largest city in the world and the economic center of the United States, New York’s per capita income is naturally higher.

Yes, but not too high. The per capita income is about US$40,000.

But these numbers have nothing to do with Harlem, oh, they do. As the biggest drag, Harlem has single-handedly brought down the per capita income of New York as a whole, and it has always made New York feel more grounded.

The existence of Qi.

Although Jerry didn't know these figures, he was well aware of the current situation in Harlem, so let alone $120,000 a year, Jerry felt that he had worked hard to death, and he would laugh if he could get $50,000 a year.

Already.

This is the current situation of street ball players. Ordinary street ball players will get the contract that Ford showed Zuo Li before, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars a year. Although it is far from rich, at least it can

Let these guys from the streets get out of poverty, plus they can get a lot of bonuses from playing on the tour for a year. From this point of view, and1 is quite conscientious.

This is also the biggest reason why streetball players from all over the world have signed with and1. Ideals are only secondary, and living a better life is the most important.

Of course, this is also the biggest reason why Zuo Li will not stay in the streetball world. Whether it is influence or salary conditions, streetball cannot be compared with the NBA. It is not on the same level at all.

"But boss, if you really want to sign, isn't this condition... a bit exaggerated?" Although Tom was also shocked, he still retained a trace of reason. Although he thought it was cool that Zuo Li could meet such conditions, this thing

Is it really possible? If and1 doesn't sign, it will be a disaster.

"Don't worry, if this wave succeeds, we can go out together." Zuo Li patted Tom on the shoulder.

Tom's worries are normal. After all, in their opinion, the price is really high. But Zuo Li is different. He has experienced the era of big bang in later generations, and these hundreds of thousands per year are almost like free.

Moreover, even now, the contracts of And1's first-level signed stars are much larger than this. Not to mention the stars in the NBA, but in the streetball world, the signing bonuses of Tyrone and others are generally in the

250,000 or even higher, Zuoli’s price is already very conscientious.

As for whether and1 will give up signing the contract, Zuo Li is not worried. His strength is a guarantee of confidence. Moreover, if he is the boss of and1, an Asian who has never seen in the streetball world will have the opportunity to open up the Asian market.

A man who has defeated many street ball players in a row, and even defeated the former Harlem overlord, is worth taking a risk.

Of course, the process will not be so easy, and they are naturally not willing to do something like giving away money for free, so the safest way is to find another street ball duel with Zuo Li.

Putting aside Marbury and superstars like Garnett, just look at the streetball world. As New York's second man, Tyrone has failed, so the choice... is self-evident!

At this time, Ford, who was furious, had already driven back to the and1 headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, he madly complained about Zuo Li to his boss, saying that Zuo Li was an arrogant man who couldn't see himself clearly.

"Boss, listen to me, this guy is crazy, absolutely crazy. He actually wants us to give him 120,000 a year, and he even talks about going to high school and not playing street ball but playing NBA, omg! He thinks he is

Is it James? This little emperor is countless times stronger than his 'king'!"

"My advice is to ignore him and let him eat his shit!"

"Oh? He really said that. Show me his request." The boss of and1 who was responsible for signing the contract was Seisberg, who also asked Ford to sign the contract. Originally, he just thought that there was a new person who could be added to New York.

Team, then the tour can use the "first Asian in streetball" as a gimmick to gain some attention. But when Ford said this, Seisberg became interested.

Picking up the piece of paper with Zuo Li's request written on it, Saisberg only read it once and saw that it was full of two big words: Ambition!

This coincides with the original intention of and1’s founding.

It is obvious that Zuo Li is a person who is not satisfied with the status quo, and his goal is obviously not just street ball.

"Interesting." Seisberg ignored the furious Ford and instead began to think about the pros and cons of signing Zuoli.

Two minutes later, he picked up the phone and called another agent: "What is Alstom doing recently? Is his schedule tight?"

Obviously, Zuo Li guessed Seisberg's idea correctly. Since Zuo Li was ambitious, he also felt that this 14-year-old guy had potential, but he was unwilling to pay such a high price. The best way was to do another one.

A duel.

This is a conspiracy. If Zuo Li gets cold feet or loses, it will allow them to see Zuo Li's true strength. If he wins, then this condition is not unacceptable.

And the only candidate is the former streetball king, Rafe Alston!

"It doesn't matter. They have already determined that they will miss the playoffs. The Raptors are looking for trades and we are looking for the next home. What's wrong?"

Now the NBA has entered the final sprint stage, and the 2002-2003 season is about to enter the playoffs, but this has nothing to do with Alston. Although he has performed well this season, the Raptors have only won 19 wins so far.

A purely experienced player, Alston is still very idle as a substitute. The only problem is that his home court is in distant Canada.

But that's not a problem, because a week later, the Raptors will travel to New York for their final game of the season.

There is no doubt that a big event in the streetball world is coming!
