Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 5 2007 NBA Draft
Soon, the time came to June 6, and the draft was held as scheduled in the Madison Square Garden Theater.

"Taylor, why are you here at the talent show? Aren't you preparing for a concert?" Li Tian didn't know until he came to New York, and Taylor also came to New York.

"I'm ready, and I'm here to support you when I have time." Taylor said happily.

"Taylor, let me introduce you. This is Yao Ming, and this is my teammate Al Horford."

"Hello, Yao Ming, Horford." Taylor said hello and stopped talking beside Li Tian.

"Li, I don't know how they line up. I think you are the one who should enter the 'Little Green Room'. Are their eyes scared?" Horford complained sincerely.

"Haha, Arenas lost the draft, did he come out differently? It doesn't matter, the pick doesn't determine everything." Li Tian doesn't care, ability has nothing to do with the draft pick.

After speaking, Horford went to the 'Little Green Room'.

"Brother Yao, why are you here?" Li Tian remembered that Yao Ming should return home.

"No, this year Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and you are all participating in the draft. Yi Jianlian will come over in a while. He is going to enter the 'Little Green Room'. I also want to witness the prosperity of China's basketball world. Records from China TV Station will also come here I have an interview, so I can introduce it to you later." Yao Ming is very happy, he is no longer alone, there are more Chinese people who have the opportunity to enter the NBA, and the future can be expected.

"Haha, Brother Yao, I thought you were here to sign a contract with me. Did you prepare a CBA contract for me?" Li Tian teased Yao Ming.

When Taylor heard this, his heart tightened, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face, but it passed quickly.

Looking nervously at Li Tian and Yao Ming, she has learned the Chinese dialect, and now she can understand their simple communication.

"Li Tian, ​​didn't you get the draft promise? Why did you go to the CBA?" Taylor was too nervous, so he interjected directly.

"Taylor, he was joking with me. Your Chinese dialect is very good." Knowing that Taylor didn't realize that the two were joking, Yao Ming quickly explained with a smile.

Yao Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Tian, ​​as if he was asking Li Tian, ​​"What's the situation, how do you know her, and her Chinese language is so good?"

"Oh, that's it, then I understand." Taylor got the answer he wanted, so he retreated behind Li Tian and stopped talking.

"Li Tian, ​​I'll introduce them to you later." Yao Ming didn't enter the special Mosaic team's draft room, but chose to chat with Li Tian outside.

The two chatted a lot about life, basketball, and the future.
In the end, they even chatted about Taylor's songs. Taylor regained his energy in an instant, and listened to the two chatting intently. He was looking forward to their evaluation of him, just like a primary school student waiting for his teacher's evaluation.

"Gentlemen and ladies, good evening, and welcome to the beautiful country fans watching on TNT and Canadian fans watching on CBCTV, welcome to the 2007 NBA Draft in Madison, welcome to join us We, and some of the fans who are coming this way, thank you for being here."

Stern is still the same as in previous years, his familiar lines have remained unchanged for decades, and his style remains unchanged.

Li Tian, ​​who was sitting under the stage, was still full of excitement, feeling like his blood was boiling, Ye Qinghui.

Before Stern finished speaking, the audience booed a lot. The New York audience hated Stern very much. The Knicks have not had the No. [-] pick for too many years.

"Next, first off, the No. 2007 pick in the NBA in 5 was from the Portland Trail Blazers, and they had five minutes to make a decision."

Stern announced the start of the draft.

"Li, who do you think will be the No. [-] pick this year." Li Tian's University teammate Taolin Green asked.

"Green, you should ask the No. 2002 Scholar. We are the No. [-] Scholar in [-]." Li Tian joked that he was teasing Yao Ming again.

Li Tian suspected that he was a little sick, and he liked to see Yao Ming's embarrassing face.

"I think it will be Durant. His talent is very powerful. Oden was injured." Yao Ming believes that injuries have too much impact on players, and the same is true for the draft. Li Tian is the best example.

"No, I think it's Oden, his talent is too strong, no one would want to miss it." Li Tian knew that the Blazers chose Oden, even if it was him, he would still choose Oden instead of Du Rand, Oden's talent makes any team that has the opportunity to get him not let go.

After 5 minutes, Stern came to the stage again.

"I announce that the first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2007, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Greg Oden, a 2.13-meter center, from Ohio State University."

Stern announced the final result, and Blazers fans began to welcome Oden.

After the announcement of Portland's selection, the Seattle SuperSonics' draft house, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Will the Supersonics choose your teammate?" Yao Ming saw that Li Tian had successfully guessed the No. [-] pick.

"They should choose Durant."

The Supersonics chose Durant. Li Tian was still very angry when he saw Durant on stage, because Durant's career was almost ruined. Fortunately, he got the system.

I will definitely avenge this revenge. Durant has become Li Tian's first enemy in the NBA.

Then Horford was selected by the Eagles.

When Horford took the stage, he looked towards Li Tian and nodded vigorously.

"Li Tian, ​​regarding Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and your pick, which pick do you think will be selected?" Yao Ming saw Li Tian's unnatural expression just now.

"I think they should all be selected. I remember that there was news that the Bucks were going to choose him."

As Li Tian said, Yi Jianlian was selected by the Bucks with the sixth overall pick.

It can be seen that Yao Ming was very excited when Yi Jianlian's name was called.

"Brother Yao, you are no longer alone. Yi Jianlian's pick is just a little behind you before."

"Haha, I'm really happy. I don't know if he can fight it out."

Li Tian knew about Yi Jianlian's development and had to bear too much, but even if he gave him his own suggestion now, Yi Jianlian would not accept it, let's talk about it later.

"Hopefully he can make it out."

More than an hour has passed, and the first round of the draft has been settled. The University of Florida was selected 4 people in the first round, which can be regarded as a small creation of team history.

"Your team is very strong, and you deserve the NCAA championship. Four of them have entered the first round, and what is even more surprising is that three of them have entered the lottery." Yao Ming was also surprised. , The championship is not so easy to win, and I understand why Oden is said to be more talented, and he can fight against such a powerful opponent alone.

"It's almost the second round, why are you a little nervous, Li Tian?" Green could still see that Li Tian was a little nervous.

The Celtics' second-round pick is coming soon.

Bill also came over, and he also hoped that Li Tian would be selected as soon as possible.

"Li, don't be nervous, several teams have made promises."

The draft continued, and the second round of readings began, which will be very fast.

"The second pick in the second round, the Boston Celtics announced that they chose Gabe Pruitt, a guard with a height of 1 meters."

When he heard that the Celtics chose a guard, Li Tian knew that Angie's promise was meaningless.

"Li, don't be nervous, I will help you contact Angie immediately and ask what is the reason."

Bill Duffy called Angie continuously, but no one answered.

"It doesn't matter Lee, there is still the Cavaliers behind, they will trade and choose you."

Bill Duffy left here and continued to contact Angie. At the same time, he also asked the Cavaliers about the next arrangement. He knew that the Cavaliers did not have a draft pick this year. If they did not trade, they would not choose Li Tian.

The draft continues.

When it came to the 39th pick, Li Tian kept swallowing the saliva. This is the Miami Heat's draft pick. I don't know if Riley will choose himself.

Another hit.

When it came to the 40th pick, the Lakers chose Sun Yue.

Yao Ming was very happy. Another person was selected, but he didn't show it. After all, Li Tian hadn't been selected so far, so he began to worry about Li Tian.

"Li, I really don't know what the management of these teams are doing. Are they stupid? Why didn't they choose you?" Horford finished the interview and came to Li Tian again.

Horford complained on Li Tian's behalf, and now Li Tian has guessed that the Cavaliers probably won't trade the draft pick to choose themselves this year.

Bill Duffy is back too.

"I'm sorry, Lee, Angie didn't keep his promise. They seem to be planning a big deal. They feel that your position overlaps with other players on the team. In addition, they are also worried about the knee injury. So at the last minute, Angie I regret it, I'm sorry, I."

The agent was well connected, as was Bill, and it soon became apparent why.

Only then did he know that the Heat didn't choose Li Tian, ​​and he was a little annoyed that he shouldn't have promised them to announce the news at that time.

"It's okay, Bill. I'm ready to play in the summer league. You can contact me in advance. Of course, forget about these teams. I won't go to them again."

Started preparing for the election.

Both Yao Ming and Horford said that they would contact the team and let him participate in their team's summer league.

I have no intention of staying any longer, but I still hold out hope.

"Lee, it's bad news again. Because James said that the Cavaliers management wants the team to continue to strengthen and needs immediate combat power, they don't need rookies, and they don't want to accept rookies with potential injuries." Bill regretted it. I should have done more trial training in the first place, so it won't be like this.

"It's okay." Li Tian wrote down Angie, James and Riley, and he must slap them in the face in the future.

Immediately afterwards, Green was also selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 52nd overall pick.

"Congratulations, Green." Sending out blessings to Green.

Also gave up hope for this draft.

Angie and Riley also contacted Bill Duffy, but they were both hung up by Li Tian. This grievance has already occurred, and it is impossible for him to make up for it.
