"Tang Tian, can you accept our interview?" As soon as Tang Tian and Walker finished hugging, they heard a familiar voice.

turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping is a pioneer of Chinese basketball, because he always likes to talk about reasonableness when broadcasting commentary, and is nicknamed "Zhang Reasonable" by fans.

He basically has to come to the draft every year, and he has been there for more than 20 years, and aside from his ability to explain, this persistence is already very respectable.

"Yes." Tang Tian is not resistant to Zhang Weiping, and although he has crossed, he is still Chinese, and the country behind him and the fans of this country are his relatives.

"Great!" Zhang Weiping explained a lot, which is a bit similar to when he usually speaks and explains.

After saying hello to Walker, Tang Tian then went to the side with Zhang Weiping to be interviewed by CCTV media.

The Lotto Show has a special press conference, where the media are waiting to take turns interviewing them, but there is no such treatment outside of the Lotto Show.

"First of all, I have to congratulate you, you are the first Chinese to be selected after the United Arab Emirates, how do you feel now?" Zhang Weiping took the microphone and asked directly.

"I'm excited, I'm excited, and being an NBA player is every basketball player's dream." Tang Tian is very experienced in dealing with this kind of occasion.

"Yes, that's normal, in fact, before you entered the draft, there were already a lot of fans in our country who were paying attention to the NCAA, and the shot you beat Duke was the biggest version in the Herald, and there were millions of fans waiting in front of the TV in this draft." Zhang Weiping continued.

"Thank you very much, I want to say that you are my biggest motivation to play and my strongest backing." Tang Tian said to the camera lens, his words are from the bottom of his heart, whether it is in his past life or in this life, he knows that most domestic fans are very supportive of Chinese players competing in the NBA.

"We know you've been drafted by the Spurs, they're a team that plays very well, inside.out, and the sense of spacing on the court, did you ever think you'd be drafted by the Spurs? Or what it's like to know how it feels to go to the Spurs? Zhang Weiping continued to ask.

Zhang Weiping's question stopped Tang Tian a little, not whether it was good or not, but whether he wanted to tell the truth.

"Hmm...... To be honest, I didn't think I'd be drafted by the Spurs because I had only auditioned for the Heat before......"

"Did you think you were going to go to the Heat when you drafted you?" Zhang Weiping is experienced and has captured Tang Tian's words.

"Well, sort of." Tang Tian didn't affirm it, but he didn't deny it either.

Zhang Weiping smiled at this time, he had already guessed what was going on inside, Tang Tian refused the trials of other teams after trying out the Heat, this is mostly because the Heat gave the draft promise! Now that the Heat don't choose the Spurs, there will really be no shortage of news materials for the next year!

"I was surprised that they drafted me because I hadn't tried out with the Spurs before, but I think it's a good choice, like I said, they play with a lot of space and a team team, so I think it's a good fit for me and I'm sure I'll fit in quickly." Tang Tian finally chose to tell the truth.

"I'm sure it will be like that, good luck."

Zhang Weiping finally shook hands with Tang Tian, and this brief interview ended.

Tang Tian had just taken two steps when Thompson also came over.

Congratulations to him, of course, he will inevitably have to "snort" about his draft ranking higher than him.

It can be seen that after being abused by Tang Tian for two months, Thompson has a bit of a deep grudge!

"Klay, draft pick doesn't determine performance." Tang Tian reminded with a smile.

"No, I just talked to someone from Warriors management, and I'm going to win you." Thompson is confident.

"Then we'll see." Tang Tian replied with a smile.

The two men looked at each other, and then they both laughed.

A summer of training has led them to a great friendship, but because both are three-point shooters, that rivalry has always been there.

As soon as they were chatting, Fagan came over, he was holding a mobile phone in his hand, it was Popovich who called Tang Tian.

It's a notoriously common fact that Popovich likes to call rookies, and it's no surprise to get a call from him at this time.

"Don, in order to get you, I pulled out a million from Pete's guy." Popovich was old-fashioned as soon as he spoke, as old-fashioned as Cajon.

It is not enough to hear from his words that the Timberwolves' 31st pick was bought by the Spurs for 1 million, which does show that the Spurs still attach great importance to him.

(Note: The Spurs owner is Pete Holt.) ）

"It's not worth 1 million to sell me, old man." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Popovich was stunned, then laughed.

The scouting report said that Tang Tian's ball quotient is very high, he has just turned 19 years old, but he is extremely mature, and it seems that the team's scouting intelligence work this year is still very good.

The two of them chatted a few more words, but not like coaches and rookies, but more like two old friends.

"Come to the team early, I have a few bottles of red wine in the basement waiting for you to drink." Popovich finally spoke, he felt that Tang Tian had a good appetite and invited him to drink together.

"I will." Tang Tian replied with a smile.

The two men hung up the phone amid laughter.

Tang Tian returned the phone to Fei Gen, and his mood was much lighter.

"The situation on the Heat side, I basically know everything." Fagan said after taking his phone.

The draft meeting on the stage was still going on, and when Tang Tian heard what Fagan said, he directly pulled him to the corner to the side, and then motioned for him to continue.

"The decision was made in the draft hut, and it was Pat Riley who made the decision, and he asked LeBron before making the final decision."

After all, Fagan is a well-known agent, and his connections are still very wide, which he has already understood very thoroughly.

The draft hut is a separate office that each team has in the draft and, according to Fagan, is an impromptu decision made while the draft is in progress.

The draft is changing rapidly, and it seems that Riley should finally feel that the Heat still need to add a ball-handling point.

But how could James get involved?

"They were on the line with Sean Battier, so they eventually gave up on choosing you, and they asked LeBron for their opinion before making the final decision, and LeBron agreed with Riley's decision, believing that the team needed more experienced strikers to challenge for the title." Fagan knew that Tang Tian would be puzzled, and then explained in more detail.

Before the door to free agency opens on July 1, teams can't theoretically be associated with free agents, but the rules are dead, people are alive, and it's still easy to get on the line.

Judging from Fagan's description, the Heat should have chosen Battier, with Battier, plus the original Mike Miller and James Jones, they naturally didn't need to choose Tang Tian in the end.
