Legend Raiders

Chapter 481 Returning to China
The first-round draft came to an end when the Suns selected [-] players who had once approached them, a player from Serbia, Nemanja Nedovic.

The final ownership of Gobert and Antetokounmpo evokes Qin Tao's many memories.

However, as Adam Silver appeared in the stands with a smile on his face, the second round of this year's draft began.

Unsurprisingly.

The Cavaliers picked Allen Crabbe of the University of California with the 31st pick, but some rumors have it that the Cavaliers will not use him, but will choose to trade.

Qin Tao still has a little impression of him. He started with the Trail Blazers, and then played some tricks in the Nets.

The Thunder at No. 32 picked Alex O'Briens.

The Cavaliers took another player with the 33rd pick, and the Rockets with the 34th pick chose the small point guard Isaiah Cannan, who was said to be very interested before the game.

The 35ers with the 76th pick chose the second-generation star Glen Rice II, the 36th pick took Ray McCallum in the past, the 37th pick picked Tony Mitchell for the Wizards, and the 38th pick picked Tony Mitchell. The Pistons took Nate Walters.

The Trail Blazers with the 39th pick got Jeff Vesey, the Blazers with the 41th pick got Grant Jarrett, the Grizzlies with the [-]st pick got Jamal Franklin, until the Grizzlies with the [-]th pick Choose Giannis Dima, and this year's two-round draft will come to an end.

Judging from this year's draft, regardless of Qin Tao's bug, compared to the drafts of the previous two years, this world may not be very good.

And this can also be seen from the reactions of the fans at the scene and the comments on the Internet. Basically no one thinks that a top star can appear in this world.

of course.

This is somewhat harsh for this industry, but no one would have thought that in the next few years, a big man from Greece would grow into a new generation of league superstars at an alarming rate.

After watching the draft, Qin Tao and Zarya successively called the Antetokounmpo team and the Gobert team to congratulate them.

From the reactions of the two, it can be heard that they are very satisfied with their situation.

Especially Gobert.

Originally, they thought they would not be able to enter the NBA, but they did not expect that they not only advanced steadily, but also reached the first round.

In the NBA, there seems to be no difference between the end of the first round and the first few days of the second round, but the teams treat players differently.

For example, a four-year contract, even if there is a team option, is a very good guarantee.

But if you are a second-round rookie, not only will your contract be halved, but you may be lucky enough to finish the summer league, and the team will choose to give up.

This seems to be useless for star players, but for players from ordinary families like them, it is a heaven and an earth.

soon.

After they all hung up the phone, Zarya went upstairs to pack her things.

With some time left in summer league, she has to get her clients what's theirs, like a 120% rookie deal.

Then Qin Tao fell into doing nothing again.

of course.

He also doesn't really do nothing.

Because Zarya will go back to his hometown in China with Qin Tao after he settles the two of them, so he has to think about some things in advance, and will meet with the staff of Li Ning Company in two days.

time flies.

As the heat of the draft gradually cooled down, the topic of the summer league attracted attention. Qin Tao and Zarya had already packed their things and sat in the VIP hall of the international airport.

Originally, Christine Laidlow wanted to go with them, but because of some finishing work for the season and a little unit matter, she could only choose to postpone it, at least a week or so.

At this time.

Mr. Wang, a vice president from Li Ning Company, brought his team in.

The two sides exchanged enthusiastically for a while, and then began to board the plane together.

As Li Ning's strategic partners this year, Qin Tao and Zarya naturally sat in first class.

Honestly.

Since Qin Tao was reborn, except for the team's chartered flight, he has never sat in the first class of a regular airliner.

I have to say that it is very comfortable, and of course the various facilities are also very complete.

Considering that the journey was long enough, Qin Tao chatted with Zarya about the trip back, and then fell into a deep sleep.

at last.

With the soft and friendly voice of the flight attendant in the cabin, Qin Tao faintly woke up.

fasten your seatbelt.

Open the porthole.

Looking sideways at his long-lost homeland, Qin Tao woke up instantly, feeling a little excited.

once Upon a time.

Qin Tao is still a mediocre "keyboard man" who can only be a hero on the Internet.

However, now he is returning to the motherland as an NBA superstar. The feeling of returning to his hometown makes it difficult for him to hold himself in his heart.

However, after a season of experience, Qin Tao has already controlled this emotion.

Hearing Zarya's voice, he happily introduced his homeland to her.

The destination they settled on this trip was the world-class metropolis, Shanghai.

For the impression of this city, Qin Tao can only mention the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Bund and Xujiahui.

After all, he was a child who grew up in a small county town. If he was really asked to say one, two, three, he really didn't know how to describe it.

But this question is nothing to Zarya, because it is also his first time to come to China.

Landing.

As the turbulence ended, Qin Tao looked out the window, but his legs began to shake uncontrollably.

This is not fear, let alone nervousness, but the excitement of returning to the motherland.

at last.

As the plane landed at the T2 terminal, the flight attendant's soft voice sounded again. Qin Tao and Zarya took their belongings, got up and walked towards the door.

The sweet greeting from the stewardess made Qin Tao feel very comfortable.

The male flight attendant on the side seemed to be an NBA fan, and after a little tangled up, Qin Tao saw the question and said he was a fan.

For his little request, Qin Tao naturally satisfied them one by one.

They signed autographs, took a group photo, and took Zarya off the plane.

Walking in the corridor, even though there is a slight smell of aviation kerosene, Qin Tao really feels comfortable.

At the VIP fork, Qin Tao took Zarya and turned.

When they entered the VIP channel, Li Ning's vice president surnamed Wang and his team were waiting ahead of them.

"Mr. Qin, Ms. Taylor, because of the arrival of the two of you, a large number of media have gathered in the airport."

The vice president surnamed Wang asked in a questioning tone: "Since the two of you are exhausted from the journey, shall we leave directly from here?"

Zarya turned her head to look at Qin Tao, her delicate face was tired.

Honestly.

Qin Tao really wanted to go out and "show off", but considering his girlfriend's mental state and the noise of the crowd, he could only suppress his vanity in the end.
