"A trade happened, and the 24th pick in the first round belonged to the Golden State Warriors, who had five minutes to think about it."

The atmosphere in the Thunder draft cabin has become a little weird.

Tang Tian raised his head and glanced at the few people present.

This kind of card is cut off in order, how can it make people suspicious.

Jones is his old subordinate, and there will definitely be no problem, and the rest will be Bernard and Joseph.

The two men also looked surprised.

Tang Tian temporarily withdrew his gaze, it may be just a coincidence, and the Warriors estimate that they just have other targets.

Five minutes later, Stern walked out of the back of the stage again.

"The Golden State Warriors selected Draymond Green, a 2.01-meter power forward from Michigan State University."

When the Warriors announced their draft results, the atmosphere inside the Thunder's entire cabin was even more eerie.

This is clearly cut off, and there is a high probability that someone within the Thunder team has leaked secrets.

Tang Tian didn't say anything more, this kind of thing definitely can't be seen now, but in the future, he still has to find a way to arrange various positions with people he trusts.

"Go with Plan B, pick Middleton." Tang Tian continued.

Middleton shouldn't need that pick, but there's no time for them to negotiate with other teams.

Joseph nodded, then wrote Middleton's name and put it in the envelope.

After a while, the staff came in and knocked on the door, and Joseph gave the envelope out.

"Case, grab a second-round trade." Tang Tian skipped the first round and urged Jones.

The first round was taken out for discussion, and the second round was not said, so there should be no more hacking.

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the hut.

"With the 25th pick in the first round, the Thunder selected Chris Middleton, a 2.01-meter small forward from Texas A&M University."

Thunder fans cheered.

Like Durant, he is thin, his arms are outstanding, and he is just as good at scoring, and the Thunder are clearly looking for a substitute for Durant!

While it may seem like Middleton doesn't deserve the pick, the fact that the team has finally started looking for a bench for Durant sends a positive signal.

Middleton came to the scene, he looked very excited, and he jumped to the end of the first round when the previous draft predictions were interrupted in the second round, which was a simple surprise.

Looking at Middleton's figure rushing towards the stage, Tang Tian felt that this order was actually not so bad.

Middleton's words, after all, are strong, and they are a good addition to a team like the Thunder that reached the Finals last season.

It's a mistake.

Middleton and Stern walked off the stage after taking a photo, happy like a big child.

When he saw Tang Tian standing not far away, he was even more excited and trotted over.

"Coach!"

Very active.,It can be seen that his personality is a more cheerful kind.。

The Thunder's core personalities are a bit weird, and this kind of cheerful player should be compared to them.

"Chris, welcome to the Thunder." Tang Tian smiled and stretched out his hand to Middleton.

Middleton was a little flattered, and after shaking hands, he said a little incoherently: "Coach, I didn't expect to be drafted here, I didn't expect to play on your team, it's really...... I would say it's really fantastic! ”

"Come on, kid, the Thunder need you."

After a few more small talks, he was dragged by Middleton to greet his mother, who had come with him.

By the time he returned to the draft hut, the second round of the draft had begun.

The second-round trade also went relatively smoothly, and the Thunder quickly traded the No. 57 pick and some cash from the Knicks for the No. 48 pick.

Immediately following that pick, Adam Shaw announced the Thunder's selection.

"In the 2012 NBA draft, the 48th overall pick in the second round, the Thunder selected Kyle O'Quinquin, a 2.08-meter power forward from Norfolk State University."

O'Quinn didn't come to the scene, and Tang Tian didn't go down.

The two picks, selected Middleton and O'Quinn, are no small additions for the Thunder.

But the Thunder's draft isn't over yet.

Tang Tian asked Bernard and Joseph to go back to the hotel first, and he took Jones and Anna out of the draft hut.

"Case, now you go and contact a player named PJ Tucker, who just came back from the German league and wants to sign him before the Suns."

After coming out, Tang Tian whispered to Jones.

Jones nodded, then turned around and went about it.

Green was cut off, and he also knew that someone on the team had leaked secrets, so he didn't delay at this time.

After Jones left, Tang Tian took Anna and walked down with him, and went down to the audience to sit.

Anna didn't speak, she was clean and neat, and she never spoke much, Tang Tian still liked people with such a personality as assistants.

But I don't know if it's because of Hathaway who was wearing an office uniform before, Tang Tian was embarrassed to see her more at this time.

The draft continued, Xiao Hua on the stage went in and out, although after reading out the team's selection, the players did not necessarily come to the scene, but he still kept smiling, and it seemed that he had quickly adapted to the job.

In two years, he will be able to start playing his debut.

Tang Tian looked at it for a while, and then looked at the person sitting in the front row.

With a small head and a mustache and a goatee, it looks a bit Japanese at first glance.

But this is an authentic American, from North Carolina, USA, and graduated from a very interesting school, called Old Dominion University, a college that is basically not well-known in the basketball world, but the aerospace engineering major there is not bad.

Before Xiao Hua came out of the stage this time, the young man's eyes burst out with a trace of anticipation.

But each time, Xiao Hua didn't pronounce his name.

Again and again, his sense of anticipation slowly disappeared.

"The 60th overall pick in the second round, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Robert Thackeray, the 2.13-meter center is from Canada, and the 2012 NBA draft is over, thank you all for participating."

When the Lakers made their last choice, the young man was still looking at the stage in a daze.

At this time, the staff had already begun to withdraw, and the rookies who came to the scene but failed to be selected like him also began to leave the field one after another.

It was also in this wave of people that Tang Tian saw a somewhat familiar figure.

After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this was not the later "imitation emperor" Brandon Armstrong.

He didn't look much different from other undrafted picks at this time, and his expression was frustrated.

Tang Tian didn't go up to say hello, but walked straight towards his goal.

Anna got up and followed.
