When Li Zhe saw the caller ID, he wanted to laugh a little.

The last time the two talked was half a month ago. There was a dispute over the endorsement commission. Although the cooperation relationship was not terminated, it was indeed a bit embarrassing, resulting in no exchanges again, which was a bit of a cold war.

Now Bill calls over and has a new idea.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhe answered the phone.

"Jamie, I just finished watching your game against Boston College, it was extremely exciting..." Bill's tone was a little excited.

"If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush, someone is waiting for me." Li Zhe went straight to the point.

"I'm recently negotiating cooperation with sneaker brands such as Reebok and Under Armour. You are in a good state now and can increase the number of singles with the ball. It's best to get a data such as a triple-double. In this way, I can help you get the endorsement better. At the same time, you can also reach a higher ranking. You don't need to worry about causing trouble. I'll say hello to Tim. What do you think?"

"So what's the price?" Li Zhe knew that Bill would not show his affection for nothing.

"I want 10% of the endorsement share, I can help you get a multi-year contract..."

"Thank you for your hard work, but I prefer the three brands of sneakers, Nike, Adidas, and AJ. At most, add a Peak. The 5% agreement between us will not change. As for whether to increase the number of singles, I will make a decision depending on the situation. Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand, but Nike Adidas AJ doesn't seem to look down on you..."

"I will definitely let them fall in love with you. Okay, my teammates urge me to see you, goodbye."

Li Zhe hung up the phone, stepped out of the locker room, and was about to go to the parking lot, but assistant coach Philip called him.

It turned out that at the post-match press conference, many reporters said they wanted to interview him, so Tim had to call him over.

It has been a while since he attended the press conference, Li Zhe thought for a while and nodded and went there.

The two soon arrived at the press conference, including big media such as EPSN and CBS, as well as small media such as Westwood Radio, etc. There were about twenty media outlets of all sizes. When the photographer saw him appear, he greeted him with various lenses.

Following Tim's gesture, he sat next to DeRozan, his butt just turned to the bench, and a reporter was already rushing to ask questions.

"Jamie, does it mean that you have returned from the king tonight?"

Li Zhe quickly waved his hand, "The name of King belongs to LeBron James, I dare not be a good person, it's just a normal performance. The main reason is that my teammates performed well and created a lot of room for me to take action."

Everyone at the scene smiled knowingly and asked the reporter: "Then did your performance in a sluggish some time ago because of your poor performance, so you didn't get a lot of room for action?"

Li Zhe was stunned when he heard this. This reporter likes to make trouble too much. He actually took it seriously with a polite sentence!

"I do have double-teams because of their low shooting percentage, but they also sincerely congratulated me when I performed well, and had no complaints when I was sluggish. We are a team and we achieve each other."

After Li Zhe finished speaking, DeRozan reached out to high fives.

Tim also stretched his frown and smiled, "I'm very happy to hear what you said."

The implication is that it would be great if you don’t care about what happened before.

The reporter asked again: "Next, there will be a game between Michigan State University and Robert Morris University on this stadium. Which team do you hope will win?"

Li Zhe did not think, "Of course it's Morris University, I don't want to play games with the Spartans."

"Is it because they are too strong?" the reporter asked.

Li Zhe shook his head, "I'm worried that a player named Drummond Green in their team has too many small moves."

The reporter at the scene smiled again when he heard this, and accused the opponent of the players before the game. Good news!

Seeing that something was wrong, Tim quickly grabbed the microphone to explain.

About ten minutes later, the press conference ended and the Trojans took a car back to the hotel.

The drive was relatively close. When we arrived at the hotel, the pre-match ceremony between the Spartans and the Morris University Colonists had just begun, and the scene was almost full of Spartan fans.

Li Zhe called the hotel to send pizza, hamburgers and other food to the conference room, and called on the whole team to watch the game together, analyzing potential opponents in the second round in advance, hoping that they could know themselves and their enemies, and all the teammates agreed happily

In the first five minutes, both teams actually scored only 3 points, and the game entered the advertising pause time.

Hackett shook his head and complained: "The Spartans are the number one in the BIG  TEN league, with a record of 15 wins and 3 losses like us. Why did they play like this with Morris University and perform abnormally?"

Marcus picked up a piece of pizza, "The two teams have a high defense intensity, with many muscle collisions and sudden double-teams. There were 8 fouls in 5 minutes, so the shooting percentage was relatively low."

Dwight took a sip with the water cup, "Then we have to be prepared to fight head-on."

All teammates expressed their opinions, but Li Zhe was not in a hurry to speak.

He was carefully checking the Spartans' data on the computer and found that he averaged 71.9 points, 398.9 rebounds, 15.9 assists, and 36.3% three-point shooting percentage. All of these four data are a little higher than the Trojans, while other data, such as steals and blocks, are not behind. The key is that Green is just a substitute, and there are even more powerful players who serve as starting power forwards.

These data clearly show the coaching style of Spartans head coach Tom Zoe: emphasizing defense and rebounding, and the rumors that he asked players to train with helmets to grab rebounds should be true.

From the two statistics of uniform shooting and three-point shooting percentage, it is also obvious that Tom Zoe hopes that the team will transfer the ball quickly and use the center with shooting ability to support it at high positions to create more open scoring opportunities.

This offensive method is very similar to the Warriors in the future. Perhaps this is why Green can rise under Cole.

"Jamie, what do you think?" DeRozan asked suddenly.

Li Zhe put down his mouse and raised his head, and smiled at everyone, "The opponent is very strong. If Hackett can play, we can easily win by unlimited defense switching..."

"Oh..." Everyone sighed but then realized that he was not saying he wanted to lose.

"Then how can we win hard?" Hackett asked hurriedly.

"On the offensive end, I and Demar took turns holding the ball. With the help of misaligned singles to the Spartans center or power forward, others are ready to catch and shoot three-pointers or dunk; on the defensive end, they can put their center or power forwards on the outside to shoot moderately..."

Before he finished speaking, head coach Tim's voice suddenly rang, "Well said, our coaching staff thinks so too!"

The players turned their heads in the voice and saw the entire coaching staff standing at the door of the conference room.

Tim walked to Li Zhe with a smile, blinked deliberately, and patted him on the shoulder, "The result of our discussion should also increase your number of singles with the ball, and the Spartans can't defend you."

Li Zhe didn't agree, but Tim was like a rented boss in a video hall he often went to when he was in junior high school. He only said one VCD to stimulate each time, and the boss immediately showed a 'I understand' look.
