Chapter 35: Iverson's Grand Slam
Richard and others are still waiting for the MOP award to be announced.
In fact, until the moment he won the championship, Richard didn't know who would get the MOP honor......
Iverson's performance is naturally outstanding, and he scored 41 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals in this game......
But at the moment, it is a little different, in addition to Iverson's excellent performance, the performance of Big Ben in this game is also extremely dazzling.
2 points, 23 rebounds, 6 blocks, 3 steals and 1 assist, of which the number of offensive rebounds alone is as high as ten!
Absolutely dominated the rebounding and defensive end of the game!
Although Big Ben is basically invisible on the offensive end of this game, the only two points scored are still won by free throws......
But that doesn't stop Big Ben from being great in this game!
You have to know the data of 23 rebounds and 6 blocks, at least in the past two decades, no one has been able to get their hands on the NCAA finals!
Of course, counting the fact that Big Ben only scored two points, 2 points, 23 rebounds and 6 blocks, no one in the entire history of the NCAA Finals has ever been able to get it......
In addition to Big Ben and Iverson's supernatural play, Miller's performance was also quite good.
In this finals, he contributed 12 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists.
Under Richard's hands, Miller's organizational ability was infinitely magnified, because Iverson was completely a pure attacker in Richard's tactical system, and the organization was basically all done by Miller.
At least one-third of Iverson's 40+ points go to Miller, who helped Iverson block and was responsible for creating offensive opportunities for him, otherwise, it was basically impossible for Iverson to face UCLA's 40+ scores.
And Big Ben's six blocks, in fact, at least half should be attributed to Miller, if it weren't for Miller's hard resistance to the basket, Big Ben, who is responsible for helping defense, would not have been able to find so many blocking opportunities!
If Iverson is the spear of the West Lafayette gang and Ben is the shield, then Brad Miller is the engine and lubricant of the team!
Because of Miller's existence, both Iverson and Big Ben have benefited from it, and their strong points have become stronger!
Even Brent Barry, because of Miller, plays extremely easily on the court, and Miller can always pass the ball to Barry, the three-point man who is vacant on the outside, at the most accurate time!
In this finals, Barry scored 21 points and hit five three-pointers crazily, which also has a lot of credit to Miller!
That's why Richard doesn't know who will get the MOP for the time being, but it is expected that the final MOP winner should be Iverson, who has the best chances.
Soon the chairman of the management committee took the note handed by the backstage and announced the MOP winners of the NCAA National Championships in this section!
Aaron Iverson!
The scene immediately burst into thunderous applause, congratulating Iverson on this blockbuster super attack backfield.
"Thank you, it's an honor to receive this award!"
"Here, I want to thank a lot of people, like my mother, like my teammates, but the person I want to thank the most is my coach Richard!"
"Few of you may know that no top team wants to take me in the predicament I was facing!"
"It was Coach Richard who gave me a chance and gave me a new lease of life!"
"Thank you, Coach! If I were a knight, I would definitely swear to serve you forever! ”
"You're the best coach in the world!"
Xinke MOP Iverson looked at Richard excitedly, and his eyes were full of gratitude......
In the depths of his feelings, Iverson couldn't control his emotions!
Standing high on the podium, holding his MOP trophy in his hand, he shouted loudly!
"Hooray the West Lafayette Gang!"
"The West Lafayette Gangster, victory!"
Led by Iverson, the boilermen lifted Richard up directly as if they had been beaten with blood, and shouted loudly with Iverson.
"Long live Silafayette!"
"Sirafayette will win!"
Richard can't wait to cover the mouths of these young people, just talk about the gangsters in private, and now it's a live broadcast in the United States!
If you just shout it out like this, it really doesn't have a good impact......
However, looking at the fans at the scene, as well as the chairman of the management committee, there didn't seem to be anything unusual, and Richard was relieved!
……
After Iverson won the MOP trophy, it marked his real season Grand Slam this season!
This unruly boy has completely attracted the attention of the entire NBA league!
……
As soon as the awards ceremony ended, Richard received an invitation from Indiana Pacers Reggie Miller, who was ready to feast the entire team of boilermakers!
And for this kindness released by Reggie Miller, Richard naturally will not refuse.
It just so happens that Richard also wants to let his players get in touch with more NBA players, and if he enters the league in the future, he will at least have a good relationship......
Reggie Miller was naturally aware of Reggie Miller's verbal quarrel with his alma mater, UCLA......
However, he thought that Reggie Miller probably did not expect it to come to this point when he said those words......
He's the only NBA team in Indiana, and he needs the support of his state fans, and the Boilermen, the only Indiana team to reach the Final Four in the NCAA this season, have to show their support......
But he didn't expect that his remark that the boiler workers had a higher win rate would provoke such a big stir as UCLA head coach Jim Harrick......
For this banquet, Reggie Miller found a very good restaurant in Orlando and brought his teammates with him.
Seeing the hottest stars in the league today, many players on the Boiler Crew team excitedly stepped forward to ask for autographs......
Of course, this does not include Iverson, Big Ben and others......
Powerful people have their own pride, such as Iverson, he has a strong confidence that his achievements in the future will definitely not be lower than Reggie Miller!
And Big Ben and Brad Miller think the same way......
As for Brent Barry, Lao Tzu is the pioneer of the NBA, the number one star at the time, a star of Reggie Miller's level, to put it mildly, Barry Jr. looks down on it......
……
After the opening of the meeting, both sides had a good meal, and Reggie Miller told many little-known anecdotes in the NBA, which opened the eyes of the young boilermen players.
"Richard, I wonder if you have any ideas for the NBA?" Reggie Miller sat next to Richard and asked Richard with a smile.
Richard was stunned, did the team throw an olive branch to him so soon?!
