NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 16
According to the original plan, Su Tian has finished the trial training of the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Hornets, followed by the Clippers and Suns.

In fact, both Phoenix and Los Angeles are places worth visiting, but when it comes to the team, the Suns that are still sinking are incomparable to the Clippers with Paul.

Although the Clippers are always not far in the playoffs, they are also a playoff team anyway, and their pursuit is different.

If there is a choice, Su Tian certainly wants to go to the Clippers with a better record and a good city.However, the reality is that it is not up to you to choose.

However, after Su Tian went to these two trials, he found that the contents of the two trials were different. The Clippers were more concerned about his immediate combat ability, and focused on testing the three-pointer. It seems that they are still more interested in Su Tian. , and chatted for a while after the end, but did not give a draft promise.

For the Suns, it's more about his potential. To put it bluntly, potential is hard to measure, so Su Tian was asked to test his singles ability with the ball.The result was naturally not ideal, but the sun didn't say he was dead, probably also very interested in Su Tian's shooting and defense.

After running back and forth for a period of time, Su Tian felt more tiring than playing in the finals. After returning home, he rested for two consecutive days to relieve his tense muscles and spirit.

As Su Tian continued to train and improve, the time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, the draft came quietly.

Originally, when Su Tian won the NCAA championship, there were relevant media reports in China, but there were no reporters to cover and report. This time, with the holding of the draft conference, our beloved Director Zhang also came to the scene.

"Director Zhang, hello, I'm Su Tian." Su Tian said respectfully with a smile.

"Hey, pee pee (hello, yahoo), Xiao Su is terrible, how is this draft, are you sure?" Director Zhang also responded with a smile on his face.

"I don't know either, I'm not sure, let's see the final result, as long as I don't lose the election." Su Tian shook his head and responded.

"It's okay, come on, the billions of folks in the family are looking forward to another NBA player. Don't be nervous." Director Zhang comforted.

Su Tian and Director Zhang returned to their seats after greeting each other. By the way, Su Tian didn't receive the invitation from the Little Green House, so he only sat in the back seat.

After a while, the draft meeting officially started, and the new president Xiao Hua took the stage to speak.Xiao Hua also took over the scepter from Stern this year. As for his management, Su Tian shook his head.

By the time Xiao Hua finished his speech, the Cavaliers had already made preparations. As expected, the Cavaliers still chose Wiggins.

Looking at Wiggins on the stage, Su Tian couldn't help being infected by his smile, Brother Zui's smile was so healing.

The top 20 in the first round basically had little to do with Su Tian, ​​and Su Tian didn't care too much. It was the same as what Su Tian guessed before. Randall was still selected by the Lakers with the 7th overall pick, and the Kings with the 8th overall pick selected Su Tian. Opponent, Stauskas.

Su Tian's teammate James Young was selected by the Celtics with the 17th overall pick, and will soon be after the 20th overall pick.

Su Tian also began to get nervous. The Denver Nuggets selected Gary Harris with the 19th overall pick. Su Tian comforted himself, it's okay, Denver is so cold, it's okay not to go.

The Grizzlies selected Jordan Adams with the 22nd overall pick. Su Tian continued to comfort himself. It's okay. The Grizzlies have a poor record, the market is small, and they don't make money.

But Su Tian's legs began to shake unconsciously.It seems that it is not as calm as it seems on the surface.

With the 24th pick, the Hornets selected Su Tian's opponent in the finals, Napier.Su Tian continued to comfort himself, Boss Qiao chose it, but he couldn't specify it.

Immediately afterwards, it was the turn of the 27th pick of the Phoenix Suns. Su Tian was already sweating nervously.

"Good guy, I won't really lose, right? I didn't try out for the next second-round team." Su Tian had already begun to regret listening to Bill Duffy's nonsense.

"Phoenix Suns pick Bogdan Bogdanovic from Partizan Belgrade, Serbia."

Following Xiao Hua's announcement, Su Tian has already started to hold his head in his hands, no way no way, I am mop, do you understand mop?The most powerful one in the NCAA Final Four!Nobody picked me?Why?Why?
In fact, what Su Tian didn't know was that it's not uncommon for a mop to have a low draft pick. The mop in 13 was an undrafted pick. With the 10th overall pick, he was also a marginal player in his NBA career, and the mop in 33 was also directly undrafted.

Su Tian seems to have returned to the time when he went to school in the previous life. The teacher handed out the papers one by one, reading his name and grades. Now he has finished reading almost half of the papers, and he has not yet read his name.

Su Tian had to admit that his mentality was a little broken.

"The Los Angeles Clippers, draft guard from the University of Kentucky, Su Tian!"

Su Tian has to say that this is the most beautiful sentence that Su Tian has heard Xiao Hua say from his previous life to this life.

After the ups and downs just now, Su Tian had already lost his expression management. When he got up to go on stage, he found that his back was soaked.

After Su stepped down from the stage, he realized a terrible thing, I'm going to Los Angeles? ! !

At this time, Director Zhang came to interview Su Tian with a camera.

"Su Tian, ​​congratulations on being selected by the Clippers, haha, do you have anything to say?" Director Zhang smiled cheerfully.

"Well, I didn't expect this result. In fact, before I was selected, I thought I was going to lose the election. I almost doubted myself." Su Tian said helplessly, "Now I don't think about many things, just Thinking about it, keep working hard and strive to gain a firm foothold in the NBA as soon as possible."

"Okay, then on behalf of my compatriots in China, I wish you a smooth journey to the NBA." Director Zhang said hello to Su Tian after finishing the interview and left.

After a while, Bill Duffy also came over, telling Su Tian that he was ready to go to Los Angeles, and comforting Su Tian that the pick is not important, but the team and the city are more important.

In fact, Su Tian also understands these principles, but when it comes to himself, he will inevitably feel a little bit disappointed.

Then Su Tian, ​​under the leadership of Bill Duffy, went to meet with the Clippers' coaching team and general manager, and greeted each other politely.

In fact, this year's draft is very interesting. Simply talk about who is in the second round and you will understand. Dinwiddie with the 38th pick, Jerami Grant with the 39th pick, Jokic with the 41st pick, and Jokic with the 46th pick Jordan Clarkson.

With just these few people playing in a team, the record won't be too bad.Therefore, there are not many talents in the second round of the show this year.Su Tian almost fell into it too.

Su Tian returned home at night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, wondering if life in Los Angeles would be colorful, wondering whether Chris Paul could get along well, thinking about Griffin and Jordan’s dunks, wondering if he could Squeeze Redick out of the starting lineup.

Su Tian fantasizes about life in Los Angeles and hurry up to train, hoping to start in his rookie year.

However, a phone call came.

Su Tian checked that it was Bill Duffy and connected, but who knew that Bill Duffy gave him a screen-opening crit.

"Su, you have been traded!!"
