Chapter 589: Purdue Wansheng (Sixth Update, First Update)
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.
In the end, Purdue University defeated North Carolina Tar Heel with a score of 99-71 and successfully won the overall championship of this national championship.
"Hey, Michael, why do you say you North Carolina are called the Tar Heel Team? Why does this team name sound so weird? "Every time Richard hears the name of the Asphalt Heel, he can't help but be curious.
Jordan was by his side today, so he asked directly.
Jordan waved his hand directly, "Then who knows, don't say it's you, I think it's weird, this name is simply ......"
"Nobody knows why it was called that way."
"Just like you certainly don't know why Purdue University is called a boilermaker......"
Richard nodded, this is also true, there are too many teams in the NCAA, and if the team name is too popular, it is difficult to make an impression.
……
The competition is over, and the next step is to award the winners.
A bunch of raw melons and eggs at Purdue University all grinned, and even Aldridge, a famous facial paralysis player, was no exception at the moment, smiling extremely happily.
They are all just a bunch of first-year students, and it is quite meaningful to win the national championship together.
It will also be the best memory of their entire career.
The NCAA is not a commercial league, and although it is essentially not much different from the NBA, it just doesn't have to pay players a salary......
But no matter what you say, the NCAA will certainly not recognize itself as a business league.
Otherwise, their MVP will not be named MOP.
Aldridge exploded with 32 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocks in this game, and won the MOP of this national championship.
Although MOP is the best player in the semifinals, the performance in the finals is actually quite large, as long as the performance in the finals is bright enough, then even if the performance in the semifinals is a little better, you will definitely be able to get the honor of MOP in the end.
……
When it came time to present the awards, Jordan straightened his tie and walked onto the court.
That's right, tonight's guest of honor is Jordan......
In fact, not only Jordan, Richard was also the guest of honor, but because of the particularity of this game, the NCAA side greeted Jordan and Richard before the game.
North Carolina wins, and Richard presents the award.
Purdue wins, Jordan presents the award......
Now that Purdue has won the championship, it is natural that Jordan will come on the stage to present the award.
Some people may wonder why the NCAA championship award will find two people in the NBA circle.
In fact, Jordan and Richard are monumental figures even in the NCAA circle.
Needless to say, Richard's golden sign of Purdue University alone is enough to qualify him as a guest of honor.
As for Jordan, his career in the NBA was perfect, and during his time in the NCAA, he was also an amazing presence.
As a freshman, he led North Carolina to win the championship with a stunner against his opponent, which few freshmen in the entire history of the NCAA have been able to do.
……
After Jordan came on the court, he tried to make his expression look happy, in fact, how could he be happy now.
Finally, this year, his alma mater North Carolina reached the finals, but he was really unlucky to encounter the reborn Purdue.
If you put it aside in previous years, North Carolina will definitely win the championship this year!
……
After the award ceremony, the lights on the scene dimmed suddenly.
Richard knew that in the next time, old Philip would be the protagonist.
His retirement ceremony began.
Before Richard's crossing, Philip Sr. was a nobody, and even in the teaching assistant group at Purdue, he was not the best teaching assistant.
But in the next eight or nine years, he led Purdue University to four championship trophies, and he was also inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Such a fruitful achievement is enough for the NCAA official to give him a decent retirement ceremony.
……
The flash hit the center of the court, and old Philip stood calmly, his face relaxed and reluctant.
"There may already be a lot of guys who know that tonight is my retirement and goodbye to the NCAA once and for all."
Many fans in the stadium blinked, they really didn't know about it.
Just retired? You know, you've just led the team to win the championship!
If you are a different head coach, how can you be willing to retire at such a point in time?
It's clear to everyone that with Purdue's current strength, they will continue to be the most favorable contenders for a championship for years to come, as long as their main players don't participate in the draft.
Didn't old Philip want to continue to win the championship? Don't want your four championship trophies to become six, or even more?!
"I'm almost 70 years old, and although I'm a little reluctant to leave this stage, there's no point in continuing to occupy this position."
"Now it's time to say goodbye."
"Here, I want to thank one person, you should know who."
"That's right, it's Richard, the madman you call Richard."
"It can be said that without Richard, there would be no Purdue now, and there would be no perfect career for my old Philip."
"Whether Richard is crazy or not, I don't know, I just know that he is a good man."
With that, old Philip looked at Richard, who was sitting on the sidelines.
Richard smiled bitterly and nodded, feeling quite reluctant to let old Philip leave.
"After I leave, Coach Bronny will take over as the head coach of Purdue, and I believe that under his leadership, Purdue will definitely go further and win more championships."
"Finally, let's shout our slogan one more time!"
"Purdue Victory!"
With a chant from Philip Sr., the Purdue fans in the stadium, the Purdue players on the field, including Richard on the sidelines.
They all stood up and shouted.
"Purdue Victory!"
"Purdue Victory!"
……
The old Philip retired like this, and Richard felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
This old man, who has been with him for more than ten years, is one of the people closest to Richard in this world.
"It's okay to retire, it's time to enjoy life at this age."
"By the time I'm almost 70 years old, I'm sure I'll have the idea of retiring." Richard thought silently in his heart.
By the time I was seventy years old, it would be almost 2040.
Richard can't imagine what he will be like more than 30 years later, but one thing is certain: he will definitely be the brightest person in the entire NBA history.
How many championships will you have on hand by then? 10 pcs? No way!
20 pcs? Quite possibly!
Richard grinned at the sight of himself wearing championship rings on his hands and feet.
