Basketball's most talented forward 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. When they met Zuo Li, they hugged him without saying a word.

"Boss, that's amazing! I'm short-sighted. I'm too stupid. I even doubted that Boss couldn't lift. I didn't expect that you are now the new street ball king! The pride of Harlem!" Jerry said excitedly.

Zuo Li: "???"

Good guy!

Have you ever thought about that!?

If I knew you thought I couldn't lift it, I would have to hammer you to death, but after thinking about it, I let it go, at least he is his first fan.

An elbow blocked Jerry's next nonsense.

"How did you know I was here?" Zuo Li asked.

"Tom said it. He said you might come back to the previous stadium to have a look."

Zuo Li turned to look at Tom, who smiled sheepishly: "The boss is a very affectionate person."

He patted Tom on the shoulder and said nothing.

"Come on, boss, the coach and the others are still waiting. By the way, there is also and1's boss. He said he won't leave until he sees you today."

The three of them returned to the arena. Most of the original fans had dispersed. The rest were all excited and chatting with the people around them about the game just now. Just like before, it won't take long for this game to be popular in the streetball circle.

As everyone knows, Zuo Li will become even more famous than he is now.

But Zuo Li doesn't care about these. His reputation in the streetball circle is enough now. He has fulfilled his promise, so he will not play streetball in a short time. Instead, he will concentrate on training and strengthening his strength.

strength.

Although long-term street ball training can improve one's strength, it is not conducive to adapting to regular competitions in the future. Just look at Alston and you will know that your strength on the street court is not directly proportional to your performance on the competition field.

Those who are the most powerful players on the court may not necessarily do well in the NBA, and vice versa.

Now, of course, the most important thing is the signing issue with and1. He thought that through this game, the signing should go smoothly. As long as and1 is not stupid, he will not let go of this opportunity to sign him.

Sure enough, when he met Zuo Li again, and1 boss Seisberg personally came to discuss the contract with Zuo Li.

"Zuo Li, congratulations, your strength is worthy of all this. We all agree with your previous invitation, and I am willing to increase the contract to 150,000 a year, and will give you a signature sneaker. What do you think?

How about that?" Seisberg said.

"Then I went to high school and played professionally and didn't play much streetball..."

"Of course there is no problem. You are very young now. You just need to continue to hone yourself and learn knowledge. Extra games will only affect your future development. I can make the decision. You can go to high school with peace of mind. Here, the high school league is also very important.

If you are popular, we can even help you contact good schools, and you can apply for the NCAA in the future." Seisberg was so sincere that the people around him were dumbfounded.

"Well, high school is no longer necessary. I agree to sign the contract, but we need time to discuss the details of the contract." Zuo Li nodded. Saisberg's attitude was a bit beyond his expectation. He thought it would cost more.

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Oh, by the way, I want to introduce my brothers to you," Zuo Li pulled Jerry and Tom, who were looking envious, "These two guys have been training with me in the past few years, and their level is pretty good.

They are also well-known in Harlem. You see, if possible, you can sign them as well."

"Boss!" Jerry looked shocked, and Tom was the same, and at the same time a little touched. It is truly sincere to think of them at this time.

"Well, if the strength really meets our requirements, we are naturally willing to recruit them. and1 welcomes streetball players from all walks of life to join." Saisberg obviously has never heard of Jerry and Tom's names, but since it was Zuo Li who recommended them,

Yes, then he is still willing to give it a chance. After all, it still needs to be investigated. If it is possible, then add a new person with good strength. If not, then nothing will be lost.

"Of course, strength comes first, but I believe he won't let us down, right, Jerry, Tom."

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

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!" After receiving a satisfactory reply, Zuo Li shook hands with Saisberg. Although the contract was not officially signed, everyone knew that it was just a matter of time.

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

Bid farewell to Seth Berger and agreed on a signing date tomorrow. By the way, the cat and mouse duo have recently strengthened their training and come to the streets of Harlem to play jungle in an effort to sign and1. After all, they are different from Zuo Li. They have missed the opportunity to leave due to their age.

The best time for their career is to be able to play in the street ball circle, which can also allow them to truly escape poverty and get out of the slums of Harlem.

After getting the guarantees from the two of them, Zuo Li was ready to go back to the orphanage to rest. He also looked for Mr. Derek. He was not yet an adult. According to the law here, he had to go with him to get the contract.

However, when Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, just as the three of them were about to leave, Hibbert, Derek and the man in suits 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 breathless. His big belly was trembling, and he was very sexy.

"I just finished talking about the contract with the people from and1. Wherever you are sitting, I didn't see you. I thought you had left. By the way, Mr. Derek, let's go back and talk about the contract." Zuo Li quickly helped him.

Stop Hibbert to prevent him from kneeling directly.

"We were waiting 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 and said, "Derek, tell me."

"Leave the contract to me. I 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 and Jerry, you go back first.

We'll be there shortly," Mr. Derek said.

"Oh, okay." Zuo Li touched his head. Is it so mysterious? He still has to go to the coffee shop.

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

"Zuo Li, you defeated Alston today. There are almost no opponents for you on the streets of New York. What are your future plans? Do you still want to go to high school or continue playing street ball?"

"Well, of course I'm in high school. Taking a career path is my goal. Haven't we said this many times?" Zuo Li looked puzzled.

"Okay! Have you ever thought about which high school you want to go to?"

"Well... although my grades are pretty good, I guess it's just our high school in Harlem." It's not like Zuo Li didn't think about going to a good high school, but it's equally difficult in the United States, because the United States has 12 years of compulsory education, so high school is also

You don't just go wherever you want, grades, money, and geographical location are all indispensable. Unless you are really powerful, then that's another story.

"Fuck the high school in Harlem, there is no future there. I will recommend a high school to you today, and that is..."

"Stuyvesant High School!"
