Chapter 126 Where Is Tang Tian Going?
"Norris Cole, 1.88 meters point guard, from Cleveland State University." Stern announced the Heat's choice.
Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned.
In fact, the Heat made this deal, no matter which choice it is, he is unlikely to be happy.
It is not uncommon in the NBA Draft to promise to be drafted and not be selected, but how could the side that was released be happy.
Tang Tian is now waiting to see what happens with the 31st pick. If the Heat really don't use the 31st pick to select him, the rift between him and the Heat will be completely settled.
He has lived his whole life, and he looks down on many things, and he is not the kind of person who will take revenge, but he can't bear this kind of thing.
If the Heat really do that, don't blame him for being merciless in the future.
After the Heat, the remaining Spurs and Bulls have made choices.
The Spurs selected Corey Joseph with the 29th overall pick and the Bulls selected Jimmy Butler with the 30th overall pick.
When Butler came to the stage and passed by Tang Tian, he took the initiative to say a few words of encouragement to him.
The first round of the draft ended, and Tang Tian was unexpectedly defeated.
The four members of the commentary sighed. They watched the game between UConn and Duke, and they were very impressed with Tang Tian. They didn't expect that they didn't even make it to the first round.
While lamenting the unpredictability of the draft, they couldn't help complaining about the ability of Tang Tian's team.
Well, Tang Tian's team.
Fagan went out for nearly 20 minutes, and finally came back at this time.
"The Houston Rockets have made a draft commitment, and they will choose you with the 38th pick." Fagan came back to report good news.
Tang Tian frowned when he heard that, the Rockets were not within the scope of the plan.
"I haven't been in touch with the Heat for the time being." Fagen saw Tang Tian's expression change and said.
Fagan didn't explain anything to the Heat. It was obvious that he was a little angry when he was let go. Although his agent is not high in the league, he is a well-known agent anyway. This is the first time he has been fooled so thoroughly.
"Let's wait and see. I will follow up with the Heat to see what happened." Fagan continued.
Tang Tian nodded, this was the only way to do it at this time.
However, the conflict between him and the Heat is unavoidable. The Heat used the promise of his draft pick to give priority to Cole. This shows that the previous promises are farts!
Pat Riley is in charge of the Heat, and Tang Tian has blacklisted the "magic operator".
"Gentlemen and ladies, our draft continues. The No. 1 pick in the second round belongs to the San Antonio Spurs. They have two minutes to consider."
At this time, the second round of the draft had already begun, and it was not Stern who came out, but Stern's assistant Mark Tatum.
Tatum's forehead was shiny, and it looked refreshing.
But Tang Tian wasn't in the mood to watch these things at the moment. After Fagen told him about the possibility of going to the Rockets, he was thinking about how he could survive better in the Rockets.
The Rockets are now in turmoil, the legendary ninth place in the Western Conference.
Going to such a team is the most embarrassing, because rookies don't get many opportunities to develop in order to hit the playoffs; at the same time, their own strength is almost meaningless, and his 3D will not get too many opportunities.
But thinking that in the end, he can only take one step at a time. One advantage of the Rockets is that there are many domestic fans. He will find a few more endorsements at that time, which can change his growth path.
Tatum came out again two minutes later.
"The first overall pick in the second round of the NBA in 2011, the San Antonio Spurs chose...Tang Tian, a 2.01m small forward from the University of Connecticut."
As soon as he read out the result, the four commentators were stunned, Fei Gen was stunned, and Tang Tian was even more stunned.
Tang Tian even felt a jolt in his head like an exclamation mark.
This... what's the situation?
The Spurs picked him?
It was at this time that he discovered that the draft pick that originally belonged to the Timberwolves had become the Spurs.
This should be a deal.
"Your hat." At this moment, a staff member handed him the Spurs hat.
"Let's go up first." Fei Gen reminded, he was in a good mood at the moment, and although there was an accident, Tang Tian was finally selected in the 31st place.
Tang Tian got up, took the Spurs hat and put it on, adjusted his mood and walked towards the stage.
As he walked up, the Spurs fans at the scene let out a burst of excited cheers.
The Spurs are a traditional strong team in the league, and they also lack 3D players. For them, the selection of Tang Tian was a surprise for them by the management.
"Congratulations." Tatum greeted Tang Tian with a smile and shook hands.
Tatum is Asian, and Tang Tian is also very close to him at the moment.
Tang Tian also figured it out now, and shook hands with Tatum with a smile.
The Spurs, in fact, are no worse than the Heat.
I didn't consider the Spurs during the previous trial training, just because the Spurs didn't have a second-round pick.
And what makes the Spurs better than the Heat is that the strength of this team is not as strong as the Heat, and his addition is a helping hand rather than an icing on the cake.
Of course, the most important point is that the Spurs are also a championship team. Since the Heat have completely disregarded their previous promises and formed a relationship with him, then the Spurs are the most suitable team for him to play the Heat!
In his previous life, the Spurs didn't even make it to the Finals this season. If he could help the Spurs reach the Finals or even win the championship, then such an experience would be far more exciting than joining the Heat!
That being said, this is actually a good thing.
And judging from his previous life experience, Popovich is also more worthy of deep friendship than Pat Riley.
After shaking hands and turning around to take a group photo in front of the media, Tang Tian also lifted up his suit, revealing his red jacket inside.
There was a loud whistle and booing immediately.
Walker's move was enough to be coquettish before, and now Tang Tian is also here. Could this be the uniform of Concord University this year?
Walker had already rushed to the scene at this time, and when he saw Tang Tian's exposed red jacket, he bent over with a smile.
After taking a photo, Tang Tian walked down from the stage.
At this moment, Walker took the initiative to hug Tang Tian.
He was still chatting with the management of the Bobcats. He heard that Tang Tian lost the first round and found an opportunity to sneak out. He wanted to comfort Tang Tian, but the 31st pick is actually no worse than the last pick at the end of the first round. , His comforting words now directly turned into congratulations.
The two brothers embraced each other, which attracted a burst of pursuit from the media on the sidelines.
The two were also very relaxed. After looking at each other, they took off the outer suits, revealing the red jackets inside, and took a photo together in front of the media.
"Haha, I like them!" The place where they took a group photo was not far from the commentary booth, and Barkley couldn't help laughing and said after seeing it.
The flamboyant jackets of the two are destined to become a highlight of tonight's draft.
Thanks to Xingfeng Xiaoye for the reward.
By the way, it’s too much to say that I’m floating too much. Have you ever seen the floating ones last three times before they were put on the shelves, and did you add more updates?
