Chapter 122: Draft Promises
After Honeycutter, Hamilton, Mark and Kerr took turns on the court, and they were all easily eliminated by Wade without any suspense.
Mark's little steel cannon couldn't hit Wade at all, and Cole's best speed was more like slow motion in front of Wade.
Tang Tian was the last to appear.
"Come on." Wade's face was a little excited when he saw Tang Tian, and he could see that he was coming for Tang Tian.
Tang Tian nodded, took the ball from the staff, and saw that Wade was about to come up to him, so he passed the ball directly to him.
Wade was stunned for a moment with the ball.
"Tee." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
One-on-one heads-up, in fact, there are many details in it, such as the one in front of you, whether the opponent serves or not.
This detail may seem insignificant, but it is very important to Tang Tian, a person who can only shoot three points.
Wade nodded, shook his hand and handed the ball to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian received the ball and made a quick three-point shot directly.
After Prokopio's guidance, Tang Tian had already adjusted his three-point shooting habits, and after receiving the ball, he didn't put it down to his crotch, but directly on his chest, and shot quickly by pushing the ball.
Wade flew over, but still didn't cover the ball and was thrown by Tang Tian.
"Huh!"
Tang Tian rushed to shoot three points into the net.
There was a shouting from the sidelines, and Cole and the others were a little excited.
Although the five people are in a competitive relationship, they are actually a small team to challenge Wade in turn, and they are also excited when Tang Tian scores a goal.
"You're smart." Wade couldn't help but praise.
"Good luck." Tang Tian replied with a smile.
In fact, this ball was really a bit of luck just now, he was rushing to shoot, and he was not sure that he would have scored, and if Wade had known his careful thinking in advance, if he had been faster, he would definitely have been able to cover him.
The second ball, with the experience of the previous ball, Wade directly didn't give Tang Tian a chance to shoot, and in the case of close-fitting, Tang Tian's reluctant shot was not covered, but he directly threw a three-no-stick.
This is Wade's one-on-one defensive ability, and the strength of the league's second-quarter guard is still very strong.
The two offensive balls ended, the two switched positions, and Wade attacked Tang Tian with the ball.
Wade holds the ball and chooses the same style of play as before, straight and hard.
Tang Tian's prediction was very good, and the two had several physical confrontations, but Wade did not have a good chance to make a move.
Wade dribbled the ball back to the three-point line, his face full of smiles.
Tang Tian's physical confrontation ability was much better than he imagined.
James was also on the sidelines at this time.
Wade regrouped, he stepped in front of Tang Tian, and then a trademark European step layup.
Tang Tian had already predicted, stepped back to grab Wade's second kick, and then reached out to interfere.
Wade didn't expect Tang Tian to grab it so accurately, and the lever shot after jumping was disturbed, and the shot actually slipped out of the basket!
After reading it, James had a look of surprise on his face, and smiled and chatted with Riley and Spoelstra on the side.
Wade was defended and the smile on his face was a little bit lowered, and it seemed that he was a little serious.
In the second ball, Wade directly chose to change direction and accelerate the breakthrough.
The strongest part of Wade's breakthrough is his speed, which is also the origin of his nickname "The Flash".
With this change of direction, Tang Tian only felt a gust of wind flashing by his side, and he judged it, but his body couldn't keep up with that speed at all.
Wade passed Tang Tian and rushed into the inner line to directly split the buckle with one hand.
"Oooh!"
Cole let out an exclamation, the speed was terrifying.
Tang Tian also shook his head helplessly, it seemed that if he wanted to prevent Wade, he had to wait until he lost weight.
After Wade dunked, he smiled and turned around and patted Tang Tian's buttocks, and then walked back to Riley and them.
The heads-up of the five people was all over, Tang Tian scored a goal and defended Wade, and the performance can be said to be quite eye-catching.
After reading it, Fagan on the side finally knew why Tang Tian dared to say that he only tried out the Heat, this is because he has absolute confidence in his own strength, and he does have absolute strength.
The discussion quickly came to a conclusion, and Spoelstra left Tang Tian and Cole behind, and then let the other three go first.
"We're going to try to trade for a first-round pick and pick you out." Spoelstra said to Cole.
Kerr nodded, the Heat made a draft commitment to him.
When Cole and his agent were gone, Spoelstra called Tang Tian and Fagan over.
Riley followed at this point.
"I heard Dan say you want to be drafted in the second round?" Riley looked directly at Tang Tian and said.
Tang Tian nodded.
"Don wants to sign a guaranteed contract with the team for one to two years." Fagan was also more direct.
This kind of thing can be said later when the contract is negotiated, but since Tang Tian only chooses to try out the Heat, it is actually almost the same to say it sooner or later.
Riley glanced at Tang Tian in surprise, obviously he rarely encountered such a rookie.
Neither Spoelstra nor Riley spoke again, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Riley pulled Spoelstra aside to exchange a few words, and also called Wade and James over.
After waiting for a while, Riley came back, looked at Tang Tian with a smile and said, "We will select you with the 31st pick." ”
Riley's opening is a serious draft promise, which is more formal than Cole's before.
After all, the Heat have a No. 31 pick this year, and although they told Kerr earlier that they would work hard to trade for a first-round pick to select him, there are still great variables, but the No. 31 pick to select Tang Tian is a sure thing.
Wade smiled at this time and gave Tang Tian a thumbs up, obviously in this decision, he should have said something for Tang Tian.
After giving a thumbs up, he and James went back to training on their own.
"However, in order not for you to be chosen by others before, we need to create a fake news in the back." Riley's eyes lit up at this time, and he was beginning to show his ability to be a god operator.
Fake news?
Tang Tian and Fagan both looked at him suspiciously.
"We're going to put out the news that you're not doing well in this tryout, focusing on your dribbling, passing flaws, and putting your draft market down right now, so we can make sure we can draft you with the 31st pick." Riley continued.
This trick is actually more common in the draft, this is what the Spurs and Leonard did at the beginning, Leonard's draft market was in the top ten, but this operation directly allowed the Spurs to draft him away with the 15th pick.
Tang Tian nodded, Riley personally made a draft promise, with his current draft market at the end of the first round, in order to ensure that in case, it would be no problem to operate like this.
