“Norris Cole, a 1.88-meter point guard from Cleveland State University,” Stern announced the Heat's selection.

Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned.

Actually, whether the Heat made this trade or not, he wouldn't be happy with either choice.

Promising a draft pick and then not selecting, it’s not uncommon in the NBA draft, but how could the party that was ditched feel good?

Tang Tian was now waiting to see what would happen with the 31st pick. If the Heat really didn't use the 31st pick to select him, then he and the Heat would have a score to settle.

He had lived a lifetime, seen through many things, and wasn't the type to hold grudges over trivial matters, but he couldn't tolerate this kind of thing.

If the Heat really did that, then don't blame him for showing no mercy in the future.

After the Heat, the remaining Spurs and Bulls made their selections.

The Spurs selected Cory Joseph with the 29th pick, and the Bulls selected Jimmy Butler with the 30th pick.

When Butler walked past Tang Tian on stage, he took the initiative to say a few words of encouragement to him.

The first round of the draft ended, and Tang Tian unexpectedly went unselected.

The four commentators on the sidelines sighed. They had watched the game between UConn and Duke and were very impressed with Tang Tian. They didn't expect that he wouldn't even make it into the first round in the end.

While lamenting the unpredictable nature of the draft, they couldn't help but complain about the ability of Tang Tian's team.

Hmm, Tang Tian's team.

Fagan had been out for nearly 20 minutes, and finally returned at this time.

"The Houston Rockets have made a draft commitment, they will select you with the 38th pick." Fagan was here to report good news.

Tang Tian frowned, the Rockets were not within his planned range.

"I haven't been able to contact the Heat yet." Fagan said, seeing the change in Tang Tian's expression.

Fagan didn't explain anything for the Heat, it could be seen that he was also a little angry about being ditched. Although an agent's position in the league isn't high, he was still a well-known agent, and this was the first time he had been tricked so thoroughly.

"Let's wait and see for now, I will follow up and communicate with the Heat to see what exactly happened." Fagan continued.

Tang Tian nodded, that was all they could do at this point.

However, the score between him and the Heat was unavoidable. The Heat used the draft pick they promised him to prioritize selecting Cole, which meant that the previous promises were all bullshit!

The person in charge of the Heat was Pat Riley, the "Godfather" had already been blacklisted by Tang Tian.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our draft continues, the first pick in the second round belongs to the San Antonio Spurs, they have two minutes to consider."

At this time, the second round of the draft had already begun, and it was no longer Stern who came out, but Stern's assistant, Mark Tatum.

Tatum's forehead was shiny and bright, making people feel refreshed.

However, Tang Tian was not in the mood to look at these things at this time. After Fagan told him about the possibility of going to the Rockets, he was thinking about how he could better survive in the Rockets.

The Rockets were now in turmoil, the legendary eternal Western Conference ninth.

Going to such a team was the most awkward, because to compete for the playoffs, rookies don't get many opportunities for development; at the same time, their own strength is a little lacking, and a 3&D player like him wouldn't get too many opportunities.

But thinking about it in the end, he could only take it one step at a time. One good thing about the Rockets was that they had many domestic fans. He could find a few more endorsements at that time and change the path of his growth.

Tatum came out again after two minutes.

"With the first pick in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs select… Tang Tian, a 2.01-meter small forward from the University of Connecticut."

As soon as he read out this result, the four commentators on the sidelines were stunned, Fagan was stunned, and Tang Tian was even more stunned.

Tang Tian even felt as if an exclamation mark popped up in his mind and shook him.

This… what's the situation?

The Spurs selected him?

It was only then that he realized that the draft pick that originally belonged to the Timberwolves had become the Spurs'.

There must have been a trade.

"Your hat." At this moment, a staff member handed him a Spurs hat.

"Let's go up first." Fagan reminded him. He was in a good mood at the moment. Although the situation had changed unexpectedly, Tang Tian was finally selected with the 31st pick.

Tang Tian got up, took the Spurs hat, put it on, adjusted his mood, and walked towards the stage.

As he walked up, the Spurs fans in the audience cheered excitedly.

The Spurs were a traditional powerhouse in the league, and they were also short of 3&D players. For them, selecting Tang Tian was a pleasant surprise created by the management.

"Congratulations." Tatum smiled and greeted Tang Tian, shaking his hand.

Tatum was Asian, and Tang Tian looked particularly close to him at this moment.

Tang Tian figured it out at this time, smiled and shook hands with Tatum.

The Spurs are actually no worse than the Heat.

He didn't consider the Spurs during the previous tryout, entirely because the Spurs didn't have a second-round draft pick.

Moreover, the good thing about the Spurs compared to the Heat is that the strength of this team is not as strong as the Heat's. His joining is helping in time of need rather than icing on the cake.

Of course, the most important point is that the Spurs are also a championship-contending team. Since the Heat completely disregarded their previous promises and made an enemy of him, then the Spurs are the most suitable team for him to take down the Heat!

In his previous life, the Spurs didn't even make it to the Finals this season. If he could help the Spurs enter the Finals or even win the championship, then such an experience would be far more exciting than joining the Heat!

Thinking about it this way, this is actually a good thing.

Moreover, judging from his experience in his previous life, Gregg Popovich is also more worthy of a deep friendship than Pat Riley.

After shaking hands, when he turned around to prepare to take a photo with the media, Tang Tian also lifted his suit jacket, revealing his red jacket inside.

The audience immediately burst into huge whistles and cheers.

Walker's move was already flashy enough, and now Tang Tian was doing it too. Was this the unified uniform of UConn this year?

Walker had already rushed to the scene at this time. Seeing the red jacket that Tang Tian was wearing, he laughed so hard that he bent over.

After taking the photo, Tang Tian walked down from the stage.

Walker took the initiative to step forward and hug Tang Tian at this time.

He was originally chatting with the Bobcats' management, but when he heard that Tang Tian was unselected in the first round, he found an opportunity to slip out. He originally wanted to comfort Tang Tian, but the 31st pick was actually not worse than the end of the first round, so his words of comfort directly turned into congratulations.

The two brothers hugged each other, which attracted another burst of chasing shots from the media on the sidelines.

The two were also very open, looked at each other and then took off their outer suits, revealing the red jackets inside, and directly took a group photo in front of the media.

"Haha, I like them!" The place where they took the photo was not far from the commentary booth, and Barkley couldn't help but laugh out loud after seeing it.

The two's flashy jackets are destined to become a highlight of tonight's draft.
