"What's your expression?" Kobe asked Li Hao in the locker room.
"Nothing." Li Hao shook his head.
"It's not because of yesterday's report, right?" Li Hao didn't say, but Kobe had already guessed it.
"Lee, you have to remember, in this league, don't believe those people's lies, let alone care what they say," Kobe said with a serious face.
"Really?" Li Hao didn't believe what Kobe said, because Li Hao knew that Kobe had done it against them.
"What do you mean by that expression?" Seeing Li Hao's suspicious expression, Kobe suddenly felt a little confused on his face.
"I don't mean anything else, I just think you are different from before," Li Hao said.
"Of course, I have matured and am not the stupid young man I once was." Kobe nodded and said.
"I'm very happy that you can mature," Li Hao said, patting Kobe on the shoulder.
After saying that, Li Hao was ready to leave. Since Kobe didn't care, what else did he have to care about.
"Hmm~~~ No, what do you mean you're happy that I'm mature? Also, what was I like before?" However, Kobe reacted before he took two steps.
"No, you heard it wrong," Li Hao immediately denied.
"Do you think I'm deaf?" Kobe looked at Li Hao with an expression that looked like he was a fool.
"Maybe it's because I'm hearing hallucinations because I'm older." Li Hao had no intention of stopping.
"Are you old? Didn't you tell me about the man's thirty-one flowers?" The two left the locker room noisily.
Watching the two people leave, other people in the locker room showed a complicated expression.

"Li, Nike and Adidas are the most powerful, and they currently offer the most generous offers." There is no doubt that among the sports brands in the world, Nike and Adidas do have rich heritage, and their experience in sneakers is not comparable to other brands. .
"I will not sign a contract with them," Li Hao said.
"Can you tell me the reason?" Although Holtz respects Li Hao's opinion, judging from the current situation, Nike and Adidas are the best choices.
"I don't think they can agree to my request." Of course, Li Hao couldn't talk about what happened in the future now, but Li Hao had already thought of the excuse.
"What are the requirements?" Holtz was really curious. With his performance in the previous games, Li Hao has become the target of all sneaker manufacturers, and he still has to win.
"I want to set up a special company to operate my sneakers. Like AJ" Li Hao said his ambition.
"This~~~~" Holtz didn't know what to say at this moment, because Li Hao's ambition was too great. Looking at the entire NBA, only one person has done it, and that is the god of basketball, Michael Jordan.
Is LeBron James popular enough? Kobe was still the number one player in the league before, but none of them received such treatment.
If you want to be like Michael Jordan, you need not only skills and popularity, but also the right time, place and people. When Nike signed Jordan, it was still a small broken factory. It is no exaggeration to say that Nike is the biggest contributor to Jordan today. This forced Nike to set up a subsidiary for AJ.
What now? Nike is already one of the biggest sports brands in the world, and even this one could be removed.
"Lee, do you know what you are talking about?" After a long time, Holtz calmed down slightly.
"I know, that's why I rejected Nike and Adidas because it was impossible for them to offer such conditions," Li Hao said.
"But other sneaker manufacturers may not offer such conditions," Holtz said.
"So don't worry, let's wait for now. If there is no need for us to think about anything else," Li Hao reassured.
"I really don't know what to say." Holtz still thought Li Hao's idea was too crazy.
You know, Nike has already offered Li Hao a five-year contract worth US$3,500, and Adidas is even higher. With the retirement of the older generation, Adidas is even more declining in basketball. Currently, only Rose can support the scene. Although Lillard was signed again this year, and it was a contract worth over 100 million, but Lillard has only played for 2 years.
An eight-year, $60 million contract is definitely not comparable to Lillard, but Lillard played for two seasons and was selected to the All-Star last year.
This is also the most lucrative contract in China at present. It is estimated that it cannot be much higher no matter how high it is. The Chinese market is indeed very attractive, but Asians have too many uncertainties and too few targets to refer to.
From Holtz's perspective, this is already a huge sum of money. As long as Li Hao signs a contract with any company, he will get a huge commission.
"Although I have no plans to sign a contract with them at the moment, you should not reject them directly," Li Hao said.
"Don't worry, you don't need to be reminded about this. Although I am a new agent, I am very familiar with the agent's routines." Holtz rolled his eyes at Li Hao.
"Hahaha, by the way, how many players have you signed now?" As far as Li Hao knows, Holtz has been keeping an eye on the NCAA, and the new NCAA season has already begun.
Not to mention, although it was only a few months from college to the draft, Li Hao felt that a long time had passed. By the way, although Li Hao was no longer playing for the Bruins, he did not drop out of school.
You won't be able to play in the NCAA after participating in the draft, but that doesn't mean you can drop out of school directly. As long as you want to, you can study in that school. How you choose depends on your own wishes.
Although most players will choose to drop out of school, there are many who continue to go to school. Take Curry, for example, he went to college for more than ten years and did not graduate until 2022.
"It's that easy, but I'm interested in several college players, and I'm currently in contact with them. I hope they can choose me when they participate in the selection." Holtz is still unable to compete with well-known agents and large brokerage companies.
"Don't worry, if they are so blind, I will help you teach them a lesson when they enter the NBA," Li Hao said with a smile.
"Haha, okay." After the meal, the two parted ways. Holtz still had a lot of things to deal with. Not to mention going to college to look for things, Li Hao alone had a lot of things that she needed to follow up on.
The reason why he came to see Li Hao today was because the sneaker contract was getting bigger and bigger, and Holtz needed to discuss it with Li Hao in person.

"Li, do you want to wear AJ?" Li Hao, who was separated from Holtz, was about to call O'Mei when Jordan suddenly called.
"I don't want to" Although Mr. Qiao has the fruit of face, no matter how great the face is, Li Hao cannot give it to him this time. Of course, Li Hao did not say this directly.
"Michael, I can't answer this. I need to carefully discuss it with my team before making a decision." This is the usual answer.
"Okay." After a moment of silence, Jordan's voice came again.
"By the way, if I didn't choose AJ in the end, would you be angry?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not, I am Michael Jordan with a heart broader than the ocean." This answer is shameless, but very Jordan.
