The Trojans played for three days away. After playing against the Arizona Wildcats, the whole team got into the car and rushed back to the hotel.

Li Zhe leaned back in his seat, holding his cell phone while browsing news, and chatting with Breer and Natasha.

The two women were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and they had already begun to discuss how to respond to media interviews, because although dating two girlfriends at the same time did not violate the law, it could not be considered a positive deed. The two were worried about attracting Li Zhe.

There is no way, and the fans can't ignore two consecutive messages, let alone the two have a close relationship with him.

Just when Li Zhe wanted to persuade the two of them not to worry too much, Hackett came to him with an excited look on his face.

"Jamie, is the TMZ revelation true?"

Li Zhe thought for a moment after hearing this, "You talk about Nike's signing?"

Hackett's fingers were napping head coach Tim, "Tell us, we know you're operating in advance."

Hearing the word "we", Li Zhe subconsciously turned his head and saw Marcus and others staring at him.

"You are really gossiping." Li Zhe shook his head slightly. "Actually, I don't know. I haven't contacted my assistant for several days."

"You have to gossip." Hackett took out his phone and opened the calculator. "The 80 million US dollars in five years is really exaggerated. Durant, the second-tier player two years ago, only 60 million US dollars in seven years, and James only 90 million US dollars in seven years."

Marcus also came over, "If Nike offered this price, converting inflation, it would almost reach Jordan's 2.5 million US dollars in five years in 1984. At that time, the league's number one player, Jabbar, had an annual salary of only $100,000."

Dwight snapped his fingers, "This shows that Nike values ​​your future potential very much, because no matter how the media praises it, it is not as illustrative as a contract, and Nike has never missed it."

With his teammates so enthusiastic, Li Zhe glanced at Pell, who was listening to music without a trace, and said with a smile: "If you really sign such a big contract, I will give each of you a sports car, and you can choose between 200,000 yuan."

Hackett's eyes glowed, "Are you serious?"

Li Zhe nodded, "Of course, I have received so much praise and attention, and you have also made contributions to you, because if you complained about me so many times before, it would be difficult for me to get so many amazing data."

Hackett raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, "Then you are so good, I will support you more in the future."

Marcus and Dwight beat their chests, "So I."

…

Back at the hotel, Li Zhe took a shower, thought for a while and called Bill Duffy.

$80 million, even if he pays half of the tax deduction, it is a huge sum of money, and he is also very moved.

I thought that Bill said that after the news appeared, he had already asked Nike for inquiries with his connections, but there was no news. Either TMZ made up or Nike was just trying to test it out.

There are two possibilities, Bill prefers the latter, because TMZ does nothing and can easily cause fans to be disgusted, but Nike makes it difficult to try to disrupt the plans and deployments of potential competitors such as Adidas.

Li Zhe thought about it briefly and agreed with it.

The reason is very simple. On the extreme assumption, if Adidas thinks the price is too high and withdraws from competition, Nike can completely win it at a low price. If Adidas pays a higher amount, Nike can also make adjustments first.

There is no conclusion yet, and it is unnecessary for him to care too much, but just after he hung up the phone, the ringtone of his cell phone rang again.

He thought Bill had something to say, but the result was that the Times staff wanted to determine the interview time.

Because he politely declined too many media before, he wanted to keep being fair and shirk, but the other party's first invitation was after defeating Stanford University. Now he continues invitation and announces it in advance, which is full of sincerity.

In addition, Time magazine, as one of the three major American magazines, has a long history and has always been a figure in reporting major events. It has a high authority and great influence. Listing on the cover will help expand his personal image, so he agreed.

After communicating the interview plan well, both parties will set the specific interview time.

…

At 6 pm on the 15th, Li Zhe finished his training and met with the Times reporter in the hotel restaurant.

The other party focused on three aspects of questions, namely his growth history, fame history and future plans.

The first two aspects are fixed content, and the Q&A went very smoothly.

When talking about future plans, the reporter first asked Li Zhe who he wanted to play the ball the most.

There is no need to hide this or tell lies. He revealed that it is the Lakers, Clippers and Warriors.

The reason is that I like big cities and warm places, and the other is that my two girlfriends don’t need to stay away from their hometown.

The reporter then asked him about his ultimate goal after entering the NBA. He believed that the first priority was to prove that the Chinese could also serve as the starting guard and would definitely help the team achieve good results.

Finally, the reporter asked him if he was interested in obtaining a green card or becoming a US citizen. Li Zhe hesitated for a while and asked why he asked this question, because this question was not in the interview plan that he communicated before.

The reporter explained that his girlfriend and main career are in the United States, and judging from his growth history, he has no close relatives in China. This is an option without any losses and a huge increase in returns, and many international students do this.

Li Zhe said that this kind of thing is a personal choice, and there is no right or wrong, just asking for a clear conscience, but he has no intention because he has received too much help during his growth and will not forget where he comes from.

After talking about this topic, the interview officially ended.

After dinner, Li Zhe returned to his room, and logged into Twitter and found that Times had released some of the interview content.

Fans have had a lot of discussions about the news that he wants to go to the Lakers, Warriors and Clippers.

Although many views differ greatly, one thing is very unified, that is, everyone thinks he should go to the Warriors.

First, the Lakers ranked first in the league in the regular season, and definitely won’t get a high pick. Second, the Clippers’ management is too bad, and the boss is a lunatic again, so it will be impossible to get a good result if you go.

…

In the early morning of the 16th, Li Zhe fell asleep and logged into the Baijiangxing system again.

The login prompt shows that his personal attributes total evaluation has been increased to 63.

In addition, Louis Williams and TJ Ford cards have been destroyed.

Considering that he was about to fight Harden, he continued to allocate two free attributes to power.

Luvika has three special skills. The high-difficulty shooting master needs to purchase 2,000 rewrite points, and needs to hit 5 three-pointers in a game in a row; the foul master also needs to 2,000 rewrite points, and needs to achieve 8 points in 0 shots within three minutes of the opening game of the same game. It is simple to unlock the task of Qi Furen, and you only need to publicly date two girlfriends and maintain a good relationship for a year, but you need to spend 5,000 rewrite points to purchase.

After thinking about it, Li Zhe decided to retain the high-difficulty shooting master, wait for the task to be completed and purchase.

After all, you can learn to commit fouls. Two girlfriends maintain a good relationship at the same time. He believes that it can be done with his charm.

TJ? Ford card two special skills. The Bounce Superman requires 10,000 rewrite value, and the number of dunks in a season ranks first in the league, including at least 10 dunks in a single person; the King of Speed ​​requires 10,000 rewrite value, and the unlocking condition is that the average running speed in a single season ranks first in the league, and the running distance must be above the average value of all players.

Thinking about it, Li Zhe decided to keep the Bounce Superman, wait for the task to be completed and purchase.

After finishing the two cards, he continued to check the rewrite value, which was only 150 points.

The system explained that the original 50 points left, defeating UCLA and the University of Arizona scored 80 points and 20 points respectively. The USC record has far surpassed the original history and affected the Pacific League rankings. The 600 rewrite value points were given in the early stage, and the subsequent change of the single game result had little impact. The next time the statistical time node is after the end of the regular season.
