Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 122 Draft Commitment

Chapter 霍尼卡特之后
After Honicutt, Hamilton, Mark, and Cole took turns, and as expected, Wade easily defeated them all.

Mark's small steel cannon couldn't bump into Wade at all, and Cole's best speed was more like slow motion in front of Wade.

Tang Tian was the last to appear.

"Come on." Wade looked a little excited when he saw Tang Tian, and it was obvious that he was coming for Tang Tian.

Tang Tian nodded, took the ball from the staff, and passed the ball directly to Wade when he saw Wade coming up close.

Wade was stunned with the ball.

"Pass the ball." Tang Tian said.

One-on-one duels actually have a lot of details in them, such as the one in front of you, whether or not to have your opponent pass the ball.

This detail seems unimportant, but it is very important to Tang Tian, who can only shoot three-pointers.

Wade nodded and threw the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian caught the ball and quickly took a three-pointer.

After Prokopiou's guidance, Tang Tian had adjusted his three-point shooting habits. After catching the ball, he didn't put it under his crotch, but directly at his chest, and quickly shot it with a pushing motion.

Wade pounced, but still didn't block the ball, and Tang Tian shot it out.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian's contested three-pointer went into the net.

There was a burst of shouting from the sidelines, and Cole and the others were a little excited at this time.

Although the five of them were in a competitive relationship, taking turns challenging Wade was actually a small team, and they were also excited when Tang Tian scored.

"You're very smart." Wade couldn't help but praise.

"Good luck." Tang Tian smiled back.

In fact, this ball was a bit of luck. He was contesting the shot, and he didn't have a sure-fire grasp of it. Moreover, if Wade had known his little thoughts in advance, and was a little faster, he would definitely have blocked him.

For the second ball, with the experience of the previous ball, Wade didn't give Tang Tian a chance to shoot at all. In a close-fitting situation, Tang Tian's barely shot wasn't blocked, but he directly shot an air ball.

This is Wade's one-on-one defensive ability. The strength of the league's second-ranked shooting guard is still very strong.

At the end of the two offensive possessions, the two switched positions, and Wade attacked Tang Tian with the ball.

Wade held the ball and chose the same style of play as before, directly breaking through hard.

Tang Tian's prediction was very accurate. After several physical confrontations, Wade didn't have a good chance to shoot.

Wade dribbled the ball back to the three-point line, his face full of smiles.

Tang Tian's physical confrontation ability was much better than he expected.

James also came to the sidelines at this time.

Wade reorganized. He accelerated to Tang Tian's front in one step, and then took a signature Euro-step layup.

Tang Tian had predicted this, and stepped back to grab Wade's second foot position, and then reached out to interfere.

Wade didn't expect Tang Tian to grab so accurately. The pull-up shot after jumping was interfered with, and the shot slid out of the basket!

After watching, James' face was full of surprise, and he chatted with Riley and Spoelstra on the side with a smile.

Wade's smile faded a little after being defended for a ball. It seemed that he was a little serious.

Wade directly chose to accelerate and break through after changing direction for the second ball.

The strongest part of Wade's breakthrough is his speed, which is also the origin of his nickname "The Flash."

With this change of direction, Tang Tian only felt a gust of wind flash past him. He judged it, but his body couldn't keep up with that speed at all.

Wade passed Tang Tian and rushed into the paint for a one-handed dunk.

"Wow!"

Cole and the others let out a burst of exclamation. This speed was really terrifying.

Tang Tian also shook his head helplessly. It seemed that if he wanted to defend Wade, he would have to wait until he lost weight.

After Wade dunked, he smiled and patted Tang Tian on the butt before walking back to Riley and the others.

All five people's one-on-one duels were over. Tang Tian scored a goal and defended Wade for a goal. His performance can be said to be quite eye-catching.

After Fagen watched from the side, he finally understood why Tang Tian dared to say that he only tried out for the Heat. This was absolute confidence in his own strength, and he really had absolute strength.

The discussion over there quickly came to a conclusion. Spoelstra kept Tang Tian and Cole, and then let the other three leave first.

"We will work hard to trade for a first-round pick and then select you." Spoelstra said to Cole.

Cole nodded, the Heat had made a draft promise to him.

After Cole and his agent left, Spoelstra called Tang Tian and Fagen over.

Riley also followed at this time.

"I heard Dan say that you want to be selected in the second round?" Riley looked at Tang Tian directly and said.

Tang Tian nodded.

"Tang hopes to sign a one- to two-year guaranteed contract with the team." Fagen also said more directly.

This kind of thing can be discussed later when negotiating the contract, but since Tang Tian only chose to try out for the Heat, it is almost the same whether he says it sooner or later.

Riley glanced at Tang Tian in surprise. He rarely encountered such rookies.

Spoelstra and Riley didn't speak any more, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Riley pulled Spoelstra aside and exchanged a few words, and also called Wade and James over.

After a while, Riley came back and looked at Tang Tian with a smile and said, "We will select you with the 31st pick."

Riley's opening was a serious draft promise, even more formal than Cole's before.

After all, the Heat only have one 31st pick this year. Although they told Cole before that they would work hard to trade for a first-round pick to select him, there were still a lot of variables. However, selecting Tang Tian with the 31st pick was a sure thing.

Wade smiled and gave Tang Tian a thumbs up at this time. Obviously, he should have said something for Tang Tian in this decision.

After giving the thumbs up, he and James continued to train on their own.

"However, in order to prevent you from being selected by others before, we need to create a fake news later." Riley's eyes sparkled at this time, and he began to show his ability as a divine operator.

Fake news?

Tang Tian and Fagen looked at him in confusion.

"We will release news that your performance in this trial was not good, focusing on your shortcomings in dribbling, passing, and other aspects, so that your current draft market will fall, so that we can ensure that we can select you with the 31st pick." Riley continued.

This trick is actually more common during the draft. The Spurs and Leonard did the same thing at the beginning. Originally, Leonard's draft market was in the top ten, but after such an operation, the Spurs directly selected him with the 15th pick.

Tang Tian nodded. Riley had personally made a draft promise. With his current late first-round draft market, it was no problem to operate in this way to ensure that nothing went wrong.
