Majuk didn't show up, and Tetum just made an announcement and went backstage.

At this time, there were not many people at the draft meeting.

Tang Tian was about to get up and go to Walker when his phone rang.

It was Majuk who sent a message saying that he was going to invite him to dinner.

This guy also understands Entu.

"With the 30th pick in the second round of the NBA in 2011, the Sacramento Kings selected Isaiah Thomas, a 1.75-meter point guard from the University of Washington." Tetum announced the final pick in this year's draft.

Thomas Jr. was at the scene, he looked a little angry, and his expression was not very good when he shook hands with Tetum on stage, and it could be seen that he was also the one who was holding back his strength to prove himself.

"Thank you to all the fans who were there and followed this draft, and this is the end of the 2011 NBA Draft."

When Tetum announced the end, there were not many people left at the scene, and Tang Tian also got up and left the arena.

The 2011 draft ended, and the players who played against Tang Tian were Irving the champion, Monroe was the top pick, Derrick Williams was the No. 4 pick, Klay Thompson was the 11th pick, Leonard was the 15th pick, Marshon Brooks was the 25th pick, and Jimmy Butler was the 30th pick, almost all of them were first-round picks.

This also shows that Tang Tian's defensive gold content in the NCAA is high enough to support his foothold in the NBA.

After the draft, ESPN commented on the draft results, with the Cavaliers and Spurs being the only two teams to receive an S+ rating.

Spurs: Maybe a lot of people don't know Kawhi Leonard yet, but he's the best rookie on defense this year, and although his shooting ability is terrible, if he can practice it, he'll be another terrifying superstar, Tang Tian, yes, they only used the 31st pick to select Tang Tian, the player who has beaten North Carolina and Duke in consecutive tournaments in the past, a top 3-and-D big heart player.

The draft is over, the rookies are eager to try out the upcoming Summer League, and the teams are eager for the free agency market that will open soon.

But the constant news of the shutdown has made them inevitably worry in anticipation.

Many people have never experienced the shutdown, after all, it was more than ten years ago, but those who have experienced the shutdown, whether it is labor or management, will not want it to become a reality, after all, it is a very big loss for both parties.

Fast forward to July 1, exactly a week after the end of the NBA draft, the league announced that the NBA officially entered a shutdown because labor and management could not agree on issues such as the "hard wage cap" system and "benefit distribution".

During the shutdown, NBA players will not receive their salaries, NBA teams will not be able to negotiate with players, sign and trade players, players will not be able to use the team's training facilities for any reason, and teams will not be able to hold any summer camps, exhibitions, team meetings, and coach gatherings.

In addition, NBA team websites can no longer use the image of the player, and the player cannot be used as a representative of publicity.

The shutdown finally came.

Labor and management will continue to negotiate a new agreement, but no one knows exactly when the shutdown will end.

However, because they had been mentally prepared before, Tang Tian and Walker didn't react so much.

The shutdown can't sign a rookie contract, and they're starting to get into a new round of training.

Procopio had planned to go to the Mavericks to work, but now he can't go, and he will find time to come to their side when he is idle.

It's mid-July.

Under Cecilia's strict requirements, Tang Tian's weight loss plan has also begun to bear fruit, and in a month, it has dropped from the original 100kg to 96.5kg, and the body has not had any negative effects.

Tang Tian could feel that his movement speed had increased slightly compared to before.

At this pace, he should be able to complete weight loss by August, and then start the next step of his muscle-building plan.

At the end of the day's training, Tang Tian received a call from the professor inviting him to participate in the commercial street ball game.

This is something that Tang Tian promised the professor at the beginning, and it is also very convenient for others to be in New York, so he has no reason to refuse.

He greeted Walker and Thompson and said he was going to play a street ball game, but what he didn't expect was that the two of them wanted to go along.

This is hard work, and the three brothers must be inseparable.

I greeted the professor, and the professor agreed.

There's no reason for him to disagree, Walker and Thompson are both lottery shows this year!

They went to Queens to meet with the professor and signed a business contract by the way.

The return of the game is actually average, only about 10,000 US dollars, and less than 6,000 after deducting taxes.

The money was not much, but what the professor said later made them, especially Tang Tian, excited.

"LeBron will also be in this competition."

James!

James would never have been able to play this kind of amateur game on the street in normal times, but this year was the exception, when the NBA shutdown deprived the big stars of their training grounds, and they needed games to stay fit.

It was Riley's decision for the Heat to release him in the draft, but James also played a part in that.

This is really, it's not that enemies don't get together!

The venue of this street ball game was in Rock Park, and the scene was already crowded with colorful flags.

Unlike in the winter, when bird poop is everywhere, Rock Park is a real basketball mecca in the summer, not to mention knowing that James will be here today, and the streetball players and fans will be coming with their heads out.

Professor Tang Tianhe arrived at the court first, plus Walker and Thompson, as well as a few street players, and they had a team of people on their side.

About ten minutes after they arrived, the crowd erupted in cheers and whistles, and on the other side of the court, James came in from the court, followed by Norris Kerr and James Jones in addition to his bodyguards.

This is the end of bringing his old friends and younger brother to the street court.

"LeBron! LeBron! ”

Fans chanted in unison about James' fame, who was quite popular as the second man in the league.

The players on both sides of the court greeted each other one after another, and the professor and James were laughing and chatting, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.

Tang Tian greeted Cole at this time, and the two tried out together, although they failed to become teammates in the end, they were half friends.

After the pleasantries, the starting five on either side stayed on the pitch, and the others temporarily retreated to the sidelines.

Their jerseys are black and white, Tang Tian is the white team on their side, five people, the outside is the professor and Walker, the front line is Thompson and Tang Tian, and the center tank.

On the black team's side, Kerr and James Jones on the outside, Foster and James on the front, and Buffalo at center.

Both sides are a mix of professional players and street players.
