Chapter 6 Where is Tianli going?

Li Tian is a person with clear grudges and grudges.

"Bill, since they didn't keep their promise to me, they have to bear my wrath."

Li Tian was very angry, not because they didn't choose him, but because they made a promise but didn't keep it, not even politely informing him.

Taylor was also frightened when she saw Li Tian's expression. She remembered the day she met Li Tian for the first time and was not so angry when she heard Li Tian talk about Durant's foul against him.

The draft continues. "Ladies and gentlemen, the 23rd pick in the second round belongs to the Portland Trail Blazers. They have two minutes to consider it."

"Li Tian, ​​don't worry. I'm contacting the Mosaic team now and asking them to select you with the 54th pick. I will put pressure on the management." After saying this, Yao Ming turned around and walked out.

I wanted to stop it, but I didn't have time.

"With the 23rd overall pick in the second round of the NBA in 2007, the Portland Trail Blazers selected...Tian Li, a 2.08 meter small forward from the University of Florida."

"Li, did you hear that? It was your name that was read." Taylor grabbed Li Tian's arm and shook it hard.

I am even more excited than my new album selling well.

Li Tian was stunned, and he didn't react until Taylor shook his arm.

In addition to Taylor's excitement, several others were also frozen for a while.

Li Tian even wondered if he had pronounced the name wrong.

What the hell happened?

I have never tried out with the Portland Trail Blazers, so why would the Trail Blazers choose me?

"This is your hat." The staff handed Li Tian a Trail Blazers hat.

"Don't say anything later. I'll ask about the situation first." Bill warned Li Tian at this time. He was worried about what kind of transaction would happen and sent him away after making the selection. This is normal.

Li Tian took over the Blazers hat, and Taylor helped Li Tian tidy up his clothes, adjust his mood, and walked onto the stage.

The Portland Trail Blazers' recent record is also terrible.

Li Tian walked towards the stage and saw many compatriots.

The Tianchao fans at the scene let out a burst of cheers. They thought that only Yi Jianlian would be selected. Unexpectedly, Sun Yue and Li Tian were also selected.

"Congratulations, Tian Li." NBA vice president smiled and shook hands with Li Tian.

Li Tian also figured it out. It doesn't matter where he goes, he believes he can win.

Show a smile and shake hands with the vice president.

As long as he enters the NBA, he will not worry about opportunities. Even after suffering a knee injury, he will have the information to stand up again.

Because the Heat, Cavaliers and Celtics all gave Li Tian a commitment before, they gave up trying out with other teams, and of course did not try out with the Trail Blazers.

Li Tian is very grateful to the Portland Trail Blazers. They chose Li Tian, ​​which is a timely help for Li Tian.

After a few brief greetings, Li Tian turned around and prepared to take a group photo in front of the media. Li Tian looked in Taylor's direction with a smile on his face.

Fans who love the University of Florida are whistling and shouting loudly. This year's draft is a great time for the University of Florida.

The media were also shocked. A total of six players from the University of Florida were selected this year, which is a history-breaking event.

Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue had already rushed over. When they learned that Li Tian had also been selected, Yao Ming's heart dropped.

The communication with Mosaic just now was not so pleasant.

After Li Tian came off the stage, he gave Taylor a hug. The fans were not calm anymore. They saw Taylor.

"Li Tian, ​​can you accept my interview?" A very familiar voice, the voice of Teacher Zhang Lili.

"Zhang He...Teacher Zhang, yes, I am happy to accept your interview." Li Tian almost said the wrong thing.

Zhang Weiping didn't mind either, he already knew people's nicknames for him.

Li Tian respects Zhang Weiping very much. Zhang Weiping has made a lot of contributions to the country's basketball. Li Tian's patriotism in his heart has not changed at all.

"Then let's start the interview."

"Li Tian, ​​I would like to congratulate you again. I am so happy today. I have already said congratulations three times." Zhang Weiping interviewed Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue today, and Li Tian was his third interviewee.

All lottery picks in the NBA will have special press conferences, and many media will take turns interviewing them. Outside of the lottery picks, they are collectively ignored by the media.

"I'm also very happy. To be honest, I'm ready to find an opportunity to participate in this year's summer league. I even told Brother Yao that I'm going to work for him." With more experience, Li Tian has gained experience.

"Haha, then I'm going to ask Boss Yao next to you how much annual salary he plans to give you." Zhang Weiping was equally humorous.

It made the flesh on Boss Yao's face tremble. Yao Ming's smile felt like he was performing the disappearing eye trick.

"When you were in the NCAA, the country had already started paying attention to your games. When you injured your knee, some fans in the country cried when they saw your pain. What do you want to say to them? "Zhang Weiping continued.

"I am very grateful to the fans and friends who supported me. You gave me the courage to return to the game. At the same time, I also thank Brother Yao for giving me a lot of help." Regarding this scene, I was also a member of the fans in my previous life. He is such a passionate and unhesitating supporter of the China Men's Basketball Team, no matter when it is at its peak or at its trough.

He also glanced at Taylor beside him.

"The Trail Blazers chose you. What do you think of the Trail Blazers? Have you ever thought about being selected by the Trail Blazers?" Zhang Weiping then asked.

Bill just told himself that he still didn't know if the Blazers would trade him if they chose him.

"Um...I didn't expect to be selected by the Trail Blazers. Other teams made promises before..." He stopped talking.

"Understood, those teams that made promises to you didn't choose you?" Zhang Weiping immediately understood what Li Tian meant.

"Well, that's right." Li Tian didn't need to deny that he had such a character.

Zhang Weiping knew from the previous news about Li Tian's trial training that Li Tian had tried out for those teams, but all the teams that had tried out did not choose Li Tian.

It seems that Li Tian has already had grudges with some teams before he entered the NBA. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

"I have never received a trial training from the Trail Blazers before. I was also surprised to be selected by them. But it is not bad, but I have to feel sorry for Boss Yao. His team lost the opportunity to get an excellent player. Also We also lost a championship."

Li Tian did not comment on the Trail Blazers. It would be embarrassing if, like those previous players, they boasted about choosing their own team one second and were traded the next.

"Hahaha, I feel sorry for Boss Yao for a second. I think Boss Yao will be happier when he sees you being selected by the NBA than when you join the Sharks. Isn't it Boss Yao?" Don't forget to tease Yao Ming.

"Finally, I wish you good luck Li Tian."

This ends Zhang Weiping's interview.

"Li, you also successfully entered the NBA, but unfortunately, we will become rivals in the future." Horford never believed that this pick was worthy of Li Tian. He believed that Li Tian's pick would definitely be higher than him.

"I'm sorry too, but don't be too sad if you lose. You'll get used to it if you lose too much." Horford was stunned for a moment and accepted Li Tian's challenge.

"The management of the Hawks contacted me. The Hawks are stronger than the Trail Blazers. Oden is our loser, and the loser will definitely be you." Horford was equally confident.

"Haha, see you on the field then."

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other.

"Li Tian, ​​congratulations, but I'm sorry, the communication between me and the Mosaic team was not ideal. Fortunately, you were selected by the Trail Blazers." Yao Ming expressed his apology at the beginning, and Yao Ming also saw his status in the Mosaic team.

"Brother Yao, it doesn't matter. I have entered the NBA." Li Tian didn't care at all.

"Let me introduce you to Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, and this is Li Tian."

Several people greeted each other.

Make an appointment to have dinner together later.

Li Tian turned around and prepared to send Taylor back first. Bill was more suitable than him to contact the team.

While still chatting, Bill Duffy came over.

"Li Tian, ​​you may not need to go to Portland. I have contacted Portland. They will have a deal happening. It will take some time to find out."

"This, you m." Although the NBA is a business league and situations like this often occur, I still feel a little uncomfortable when it happens to me.

"It doesn't matter. It's the same no matter where I go. As long as I stay in the NBA, I'm confident that I can perform well."

Whenever Taylor sees Li Tian's confidence, he feels at ease. He likes Li Tian because of his confidence and calmness, which gives people a sense of vicissitudes, maturity and stability.

"Taylor, it's okay. It's the same wherever you go. You have to believe me. You can fight it out anywhere."

"I believe in you, I believe in you more than I believe in myself." Taylor did not hesitate at all.

Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, who were standing next to her, were extremely envious of such a beautiful beauty. They were so envious.

"It would be great if I could have a girlfriend like this."

"Bill, it's up to you to contact me about the team. If you contact me, let me know. Then I'm going to find a place to train." Professional things need professional people to do it.

"Li, both Los Angeles and New York are fine. I have a house there. You can come and live at any time." Taylor said quickly.

Even Yao Ming was sore.

"Okay, but I need to contact the trainer and training gym first."

Hearing that Li Tian did not object to him.

But Yi Jianlian and the others are so envious that I want to go too.

"Li, don't worry, I will help you find the most suitable training team and a training gym not far from your accommodation."

"Okay, Bill. I'll take Taylor back to the hotel first and meet you later."

Li Tian drove Taylor's car and took Taylor to her villa in New York.

"Taylor, have a good rest, you have to prepare for the next concert." After a while, Li Tian was a little moved by Taylor.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to agree to my invitation. I have reserved the front row tickets for you. Seeing that you have many friends, I will give you a few more." Taylor gave Li Tian the tickets he had prepared.

"I'm happy to, but I have to ask them." Li Tian took the ticket.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tian drove to the place where he had made an appointment with Yao Ming.
