Chapter 125: The Heat's Choice

"yes, Don, Kenny, you reminded me that guy was said to have only been on tryouts with the Heat, and he was doing badly, and I don't know what he and his team were up to." Barkley opened his mouth to complain.

"Do you think the Nets will pick him? There is no better option for this order, and the Chinese market in New Jersey is not small. Brin took over.

"I think it's possible to spend a first-round pick on Don, who was very impressive in the NCAA, and even though he didn't handle the tryout, I think the risk was well worth it." Miller chimed in.

In fact, it is not only a few people in the commentary seat who are looking forward to it, because the draft scene is in New Jersey, and there are many Chinese fans who come, and they also hope that their home team can select Tang Tian.

After Yi Jianlian, it has been several years since Chinese landed on the NBA stage, not to mention that Yi Jianlian is now very unsatisfactory, and they urgently need a new spiritual sustenance.

As he spoke, Stern came out from behind the stage again.

"The 25th pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA, the New Jersey Nets selected ...... Marshon Brooks, 1.96m shooting guard, from Providence College. ”

Stern announced the Nets' selection, and there was a commotion at the scene.

What Brooks to choose! Choose Tang God!

Smith shook his head, he didn't open his mouth because of his identity, but if he remembered correctly, Tang Tian blew up Brooks every time in the NCAA.

The chat between the four commentators continued, because there wasn't much interesting stuff, and the focus of their discussion became predicting in what order Tang Tian would be chosen.

The 26th pick belonged to the Nuggets, who used that pick to select Jordan Hamilton.

"Man! Buddy! What is it? This time, Smith couldn't help but complain.

Although the Heat team released the news that Tang Tian's trial performance was not good, there was more than one person who tried out at the beginning, and Tang Tian's performance in the two trials was still spread through the mouths of other players who participated in the trial.

Hamilton was the player who was completely blown out by Tang Tian in the trial, and now that he has been selected, Tang Tian has not been selected.

Barkley laughed and patted Smith on the shoulder, signaling his old partner to calm down.

The voice of the commentary seat was not too loud at the scene, but Tang Tian could still listen to it because he was sitting close to the commentary seat.

He didn't expect a few commentators to discuss him and be so engaged.

It seems that Barkley and Smith expressed interest in him at the beginning, and it was quite strong.

However, contrary to the attitude of several commentators, he didn't want to be selected in this pick at all.

Now that there are only a few picks left in the first round, he doesn't want to suddenly kill him halfway and mess up his plans.

The 27th pick belongs to the Boston Celtics.

"I think Boston is likely to pick Don in that pick." Barkley suddenly spoke.

"No, Boston is short of inside right now, and they won't want Don." Smith shook his head.

"Have you forgotten Ray Allen?" Barkley said with a smile.

When he finished playing Duke, Ray Allen personally said that he wanted to help Tang Tian, and he deliberately left his contact information, and he and Smith were standing next to him at that time.

"Oh, I remember." Smith said with a pat on the head, reflexing.

The two men looked at each other and smiled, then looked at Stern, who had just walked out, and this time they should have guessed correctly.

"With the 27th pick in the first round in 2011, the Boston Celtics selected Jajuan Johnson, a 2.06-meter power forward from Purdue."

“Come.on!” When Stern announced the Celtics' selection, Smith and Barkley spoke in unison, and their exaggerated expressions already looked completely disturbed.

Now that there are only the last 3 picks left in the first round, Tang Tian may really fall out of the first round.

Stern walked out of the backstage for the 28th time.

Just then, Fagan's phone vibrated and he picked it up, and he followed Woj's Twitter to receive first-hand information about the transactions, which would come even faster than Stern had announced.

A look of astonishment flashed across his face when he saw the message, and it was clear that something had developed beyond his expectations.

"What's wrong?" Tang Tian turned his head and asked curiously.

Now everything is going according to plan, and when the first round of the draft is over, and when it comes to the second round, it will be his turn.

"A trade happened, and the Miami Heat have the No. 28 pick." Instead of holding an envelope with the result in his hand, Stern once again announced the deal.

"Okay, Riley really got a first-round pick!" Tang Tian looked back and sighed.

The Heat had one draft pick this year, and he thought Riley's previous promise to Kerr was just a blank check, but he didn't expect the real deal to come, which was to fulfill the previous two promises and draft him and Kerr at the same time.

Kerr reported his kindness during the trial, and he had a good impression of Tang Tian, and he also had a companion when he went to the Heat with him.

But in the next second, he was stunned.

Because on the scrolling screen flashing behind Stern, the chips given by the Heat trade are this year's No. 31 pick and a second-round pick!

The Heat's No. 31 pick has become the Timberwolves'!

"What happened?" Tang Tian reacted and turned his head to look at Fagan.

After giving the draft promise that day, it was Fagan who was in contact with the Heat in the future, but he didn't expect things to change in the end.

"I don't know the situation either, don't worry, I'll find out." Fagan's face was not good-looking, and apparently he didn't know what was going on.

Tang Tian nodded, although things were a little unexpected, now was not the time to complain.

He looked back at the stage at this point, and Stern had already walked out again.

"Well, let's see what choice the Heat make!" Smith looked at the stage at this point.

Tang Tian told the truth at this time that he didn't know what was going on, or that the Heat gave up their draft commitment to him, after all, the promise is only verbal and does not have any contractual effect; Or maybe Riley has the calculation of God and is ready to use the No. 28 lottery to choose him?

It's really possible, with Riley's door-picking personality, he won't spend the money he can save.

As for worrying that Tang Tian would lose his temper?

I'm sorry, you're just a rookie at the end of the first round, and you have to figure out how to deal with your temper or something.

"The 28th pick in the first round in 2011, the Miami Heat selected ......," Stern said, picking up the envelope containing the results of the Heat's draft.
