The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

After a detailed conversation, the light in Rich Paul's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the way he looked at Zuo Li was also different.

"This doesn't look like a 15-year-old young man." Thinking about his 15-year-old, Rich Paul suddenly felt that Zuo Li was a monster, but at the same time, his heart became more determined.

Following Zuo Li may be the best chance in his life to change his life!

"Understood." After explaining, Zuo Li said.

"Understood, then I'll leave first. I will finish the negotiation with CAA in these two days!" Rich Paul nodded heavily, picked up his briefcase and walked out. He doesn't want to waste a minute now , He wanted to rush back to Los Angeles overnight to finalize the contract with Zuo Li, and by the way, finish the things Zuo Li told him.

Zuo Li also returned to the orphanage and began to enjoy the Christmas vacation. He was not worried about Rich Paul's side, and he had no doubts about the employment. Zuo Li believed that Rich Paul, who would shine in future generations, would always have his own skills.

Sure enough, on the last day of the Christmas holiday, Rich Paul returned to New York with CAA's agency contract.

"5 years, 20% commission, CAA is responsible for all other external affairs, including media promotion, which is at the level of a first-class rookie, this commission, sorry, this is the best result I can negotiate." Rich Paul said.

"It doesn't matter, this result is good enough. You did a good job. Our contract can also be signed. You can take 6% of it. Everything else remains the same." Zuo Li read the contract and signed his name.

"Don't worry my boss, I will not let you down." Although only a few days later, Rich Paul's mental outlook is completely different, and his growth in these days is even more than that of the previous 20 years.

People like Zuo Li are generally at least 7 years old, and some even reach 10 years. For example, Lao Zhan, who became famous in the same year, still signed for 7 years. After all, the resources of CAA are incomparable, and of course there will be conditions. .

The first thing Zuo Li asked him to do was to help himself talk about 5 years. Rich Paul did it, although it was in exchange for a 10% higher commission than others. Maybe there is a reason why CAA itself is not optimistic about him. In short, Zuo Li was very satisfied with the result.

So Zuo Li also reciprocated, and directly gave Rich Paul a 6% commission. In this era when brokers usually take 2%-4%, this contract is definitely the only one in the industry, and only Zuo Li dared to give it like this. .

But Zuo Li always believes that all this is worthwhile. If you want the horse to run, you must eat first. In order for Rich Paul to use all his abilities, this little money is worth it. He believes that Rich Paul will give He brings the greater good.

One day later, people who just finished the Christmas holiday saw the news that Zuo Li joined CAA on the news.

People are not surprised by this. Zuo Li is a super rookie in New York. He is also well-known on the streets. He also performed well in the high school league, which is very in line with CAA's consistent signing criteria. It is often divided up by major brokerage companies, and it is too normal for Zuo Li to sign a contract now.

On the contrary, the Curry brothers enviously pestered Zuo Li to treat them to dinner after seeing it. Although the two of them received a lot of attention, a brokerage agency at the level of CAA would not extend an olive branch to them.

Even the agent who signed Zuo Li was not well-known, and the name Rich Paul appeared in the public eye for the first time, and the information released by CAA showed that this was a rookie who had just been an agent for a year.

Regarding this situation, the outside world is more controversial than Zuo Li's signing itself. People who like Zuo Li feel uncomfortable. They feel that CAA's use of such a newcomer to bring Zuo Li is to underestimate Zuo Li. After all, Wade and others were all Leon back then. Rose, the big-name agent, brought it directly.

And Zuo Hei said one after another, that's right, he still wants to compare with James, this kind of rookie agent is the best match for him, what more bicycle is needed.

It's just that in a corner that the outside world can't see, Leon Rose called James in Cleveland at Christmas: "Man, the guy you recommended to me gave me a big surprise."

James, who was informed of the specific situation, was also very surprised. Rich Paul was recommended to Leon Rose on a whim. Qi Paul offended Leon Rose, so James apologized and said: "I will not associate with that guy, I hope it will not affect our future cooperation."

"Of course, I hope we can have deeper cooperation in the future." Leon Rose is very satisfied with James' attitude. He doesn't care about Rich Paul leaving. He can bring a threat to himself, what he cares about is James, as long as he can poach James, then he has the opportunity to become the biggest agent in the NBA.

At that time, Zuo Li and Rich Paul will all be scumbags.

So the matter ended like this. For the current Rich Paul and Zuo Li, they are not even interested in revenge, not to mention that CAA has given Rich Paul the qualification to lead people alone, so they are still colleagues in name, which is naturally not good. There is a conflict on the surface.

And Zuo Li doesn't care much, as long as you are strong enough, no one can ignore your influence. No one can understand this better than Zuo Li, a person who traveled through later generations, so what Zuo Li has to do is Keep improving yourself.

After Christmas, Stuyvesant played again. In the first game after signing with CAA, Zuo Li also showed his full state. Facing the visiting Horace Mann School, Zuo Li fired with full firepower and scored 30 points in less than half. A double-double of 10 rebounds, and even more desperate, 7 offensive rebounds directly blew the confidence of the opposing insider.

Zuo Li scored a super double-double of 50 points and 20 rebounds in the whole game. This is also the first game Zuo Li scored 50+ and also scored 20 rebounds. He is also the single-game scoring leader in high school in New York for ten years. In the divided high school league, Zuo Li is simply a bug.

After the game, Zuo Li felt that the opposite coach's resentful eyes made him feel that he was too ruthless, but there was no way around it. Zuo Li needed such a game to justify himself.

Five days later, Stuyvesant once again defeated Dalton High School. Zuo Li contributed 5 points, 28 rebounds and 16 blocks. He scored the second triple-double of his career and the first double-double in blocking.

In this game, the defender on the opposite side was obviously dissatisfied, carrying the explosive package and killing them inside, while Zuo Li ruled all kinds of dissatisfaction.

79-65, Stuyvesant continued his unbeaten record.

With Zuo Li scoring 50+20 and triple-doubles back to back, Rich Paul brought good news to Zuo Li, and Zuo Li finally received his first endorsement.
