The Godfather of Basketball

"A trade happened. The 24th pick in the first round belonged to the Golden State Warriors. They have 5 minutes to consider."

The atmosphere of the Thunder's draft cabin has become a little strange.

Tang Tian glanced up at the few people present.

This kind of card will be suspicious if it is in a straight line.

Jones is his old subordinate, and there will definitely be no problems. The rest are Bernard and Joseph.

The two also looked surprised.

It may be just a coincidence that Tang Tian temporarily retracted his eyes, and the Warriors are estimated to have other goals.

Five minutes later, Stern stepped out of the stage again.

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

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

This is obvious, and there is a high probability that someone inside the Thunder team has leaked the secret.

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

"Plan b, choose Middleton." Tang Tian continued.

Middleton should not use this pick, but there is no time for them to negotiate with other teams.

Joseph nodded when he heard the words, and put Middleton's name into the envelope.

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

"Case, hurry up the deal for the second round show." Tang Tian skipped the first round and urged Jones.

The first round was discussed. The second round didn't say anything. It should not happen again.

Tang Tian got up and left the hut.

"In the first round of the 25th overall pick, the Thunder chose Chris Middleton, a 2.01 small forward from Texas A & M University."

The Thunder fans cheered.

He is as thin as Durant, has a lot of arms, and is good at scoring. The Thunder are obviously looking for a substitute for Durant!

Although it seems that Middleton is not worth this pick, the team finally started to find a substitute for Durant. The signal sent by it is still very positive.

Middleton came to the scene and he seemed very excited. He was interrupted by the second round of the previous draft forecast and jumped to the end of the first round, which was a surprise.

Watching Middleton rush to the stage, Tang Tian didn't think that this position was actually so bad.

Middleton's words, after all, are strong, and it is a good addition to the Thunder team that reached the finals last season.

It can also be regarded as yin and yang.

Middleton and Stern stepped down from the photo, happy like an older child.

When he saw Tang Tian standing not far away, he was so excited that he trot over.

"coach!"

Very proactive, I can see that his character belongs to the more cheerful kind.

The Thunder's core characters are a bit strange, and this cheerful player should compare with theirs.

"Chris, welcome to the Thunder." Tang Tian smiled and reached out to Middleton.

Middleton was a bit flattered, and after the handshake, some words were incoherent: "Coach, I didn't expect to be selected here, I never thought I could play on your team, this is really ... I want to say this is really fantastic ! "

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

I chatted a few more times and was greeted by Middleton's mother who was pulling to the scene with me.

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

The second round of trading also went smoothly. The Thunder quickly used the 57th pick with some cash, and exchanged the No. 48 pick from the Knicks.

Immediately following this pick, Adam Shaw announced the Thunder's choice.

"In the 2012 NBA Draft, the 48th overall pick in the second round, the Thunder chose Kyle Oquin, the power forward at 2.08, from Norfolk State University."

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

Two picks, selected Middleton and O'Quin, are no small additions for the Thunder.

But the Thunder's draft this year is not over.

Tang Tian asked Bernard and Joseph to return to the hotel first, and he took Jones and Anna out of the draft cabin.

"Case, you can now contact a player named pj Tucker, who has just returned from the German League and will sign him before the Suns."

After coming out, Tang Tian whispered to Jones.

Jones nodded, then turned around.

Green's amputation, he also knew that the team was leaked, so he did not delay now.

When Jones left, Tang Tian took Anna down with him and sat down in the auditorium.

Anna didn't say anything. She was very clean and never talked. Tang Tian liked it as a helper.

But I do n’t know if it was because of Hathaway who was wearing office clothes and clothes ~ www.readwn.com ~ Tang Tian was not embarrassed to see her more.

The draft went on, Xiao Hua on the stage went in and out. Although the player did not necessarily come to the scene after thinking about the team's choice, he still kept smiling and seemed to have quickly adapted to the job.

After two more years, he can start reading the first round show.

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

It's like a Japanese, with a pinch of mustache and goatee.

However, this is an authentic American, from North Carolina, USA. The school that graduated is also very interesting. It is called Old Dominion University, a college with basically no popularity in the basketball industry, but the aerospace engineering major there is not bad.

When Xiao Hua stepped out of the stage this time, the young man's gaze burst into anticipation.

But every time, Xiao Hua didn't read his name.

Time and again, his sense of anticipation slowly disappeared.

"In the second round of the 60th overall pick, the Los Angeles Lakers chose Robert Sackley, the center of 2.13 came from Canada, and the 2012 NBA Draft was over. Thank you for your participation."

When the Lakers made their last choice, the youngsters stared at the stage.

At this time, the staff had already started to withdraw, and the rookies who had missed the scene like him also began to leave.

In this wave of people, Tang Tian saw a somewhat familiar figure.

If you think about it carefully, isn't this the later "Imitation Emperor" Brandon Armstrong.

He didn't look much different from other draft 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 also got up and followed.
