The Stuyvesant double star is completely famous.
There is no shortage of stories in the basketball world, but such stories are still shocking.
At this time, the two young people on the court couldn't think of the whole of New York because they were all bombed.
If it weren't for the fact that the Internet is not yet developed, the Internet will definitely be detonated in an instant.
But even this can't stop enthusiastic fans from making their voices heard. In one of the few fan forums in the United States, the story of Stuyvesant High School was posted in its entirety, and Zuo Li's name was repeatedly mentioned.
"Two years ago, he came here with the title of the king of the streets of New York. Stuyvesant regarded him as a savior, but the outside world mocked him as an abandoned son of Oak Hill, and no one was optimistic about his development."
"Also, an Asian-yellow man, a poor boy from a slum welfare institution, why should he shine in the black-dominated basketball world?"
"But now, two seasons have passed, New York has been conquered, and so far, no team has been able to beat him on the court, a super streak across seasons, he has made history in New York high school basketball, he is The single-season scoring leader, rebounding leader, and block leader is the youngest five-star high school student, who is left standing, left and right, standing upright."
"His legend has just begun!"
This article was even quoted by many newspapers and magazines. Zuo Li's name once again resounded in New York. This time Zuo Li was wildly sought after, especially the famous Harlem of Zuo Li. Now he has become the light of Harlem. Even many people chose to wear his high school jersey, and the AND1 sneakers he passed on during the game were also highly sought after, which made Sethberg, who signed Zuo Li, laughed out loud.
Rich Paul also laughed out loud. After this game, three reliable companies approached him to discuss endorsements. Although each of them was only one to two years, with a small contract of 100,000 to 150,000, the accumulation of small contracts added up. Zuo Liguang's endorsement can also earn around 300,000 yuan a year.
And this time, he even attracted the attention of the United States, and countless scouts flocked to see if Zuo Li was really so amazing.
And Dayao, who was working hard in Houston, even heard the name. After reading Zuo Li's entire story, he silently made a phone call to China...
And this time, the sponsors of the New Jersey National High School Championship finally couldn't ignore the existence of Stuyvesant. Just one day after they won the championship, an invitation letter was sent. They will represent Stuyvesant and the other 15 strongest schools in the United States. Compete for high school rankings in the nation.
"This time, no one dares to ignore them again!" said the New York Sports Daily.
Not only that, but three days later, Stuyvesant once again received good news. Zuo Li was elected as Mr. Basketball from New York State. This is an award unique to the American High School League and is named after each state. For example, James also won the Mr. Basketball from Ohio State.
At the same time, Gadler High School Player of the Year and Nai-Smith High School Player of the Year were all given to Zuo Li.
This is an incredible achievement, because this is the first time that these two awards have been given to a player who is only a sophomore in high school At the same time, this achievement also catches up with James in high school, of course, a week later 'Today' The United States' announced the All-American first team lineup, Zuo Li regretted not being selected for the first team, and missed the opportunity to tie James.
This has made many people feel injustice for Zuo Li, and this performance will not be selected, what else do you think!
However, Zuo Li is only a sophomore in high school, so he still has a chance.
However, Zuo Li doesn't feel much about these awards. To be honest, not many people care about awards in high school. Although it was great to win it at the time, if you don't grow up in the future, it will become a black history.
Zuo Li is not afraid, but his goals are far more than these, so in the two weeks of being bombarded by awards, he has performed calmer than Curry.
On the contrary, the McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game extended an olive branch to Zuo Li, but Zuo Li is not too interested in this kind of competition. Although this is a good opportunity for high school students to become famous, Zuo Li has too many opportunities. AND1 Tournament They have invited Zuo Li many times, and now the influence of the AND1 Tour is much higher than that of the McDonald's High School All-Star.
However, Zuo Li was also not interested. After winning the championship, he still stayed at school, reviewing for the end of the exam preparation period. After the exam, the team was still training for the game in New Jersey at the end of July.
Stuyvesant attaches great importance to this game. Not only is the round-trip airfare all-inclusive, but he also provides bonuses, which made Curry happy for a while. He finally bought gifts for Ayesha by himself.
As for Zuo Li, after a few endorsements, his worth finally reached a million dollars. At this age, he is definitely a little rich. Now his admirers in the school are countless. He is still handsome, and he is still more successful than most adults at the age of 16. Is there any reason for this!
