Chapter 34: We Are the Champions
When the game is in the second half, there are five minutes left before the end of the game!
UCLA is aware of the fact that God is not on their side, or that the three-point shot will not save them!
Of course, the three-point shooting tactics actually had some effect, at least they didn't let the Richard-led boilermakers play the largest margin in NCAA Finals history on them......
Jim Harrick only felt chills all over his body, the ball must have been lost, he knew this all too well!
With a 25-point deficit on the court, and only five minutes before the end of the game, even if Jordan came on the court, it would be difficult to recover the score of 25 minutes in five minutes!
Thinking of this, he gloomily replaced the main players on the field and replaced them with a pure substitute lineup.
This is considered a surrender......
Richard smiled slightly, following Jim Harrick's operation, and also replaced the team's main force.
"We paid a lot of money to watch the game, and we were shown a shit game like this?!"
"UCLA, Richard is right, if they are gangsters, you are some soft eggs who are charged protection money by gangsters!"
"I'm extremely disappointed in the game, I've never seen this kind of thunder and rain in a small game!"
"Jim Harrick, you're the most rubbish head coach in the NCAA, not a ......"
Seeing that this much-anticipated game had just entered garbage time, the fans at the scene and those watching the live broadcast were suddenly unhappy......
When UCLA had a verbal fight with the boilermakers before the game, it was very majestic, all kinds of mockery of the boilermen, and their record was also quite luxurious......
So many fans think that this is a super battle that is evenly matched, and it is definitely at the level of Mars hitting the earth!
Even some fans feel like it could be a battle of the century!
But......
When the game ended five minutes early, the fans were completely dumbfounded......
What the hell is the War of the Century?! The Vegetable Abuse War of the Century......
Disappointed!
Extremely disappointed!
It's like being constipated for half a month, and finally came to the toilet, but I squatted on the toilet for more than half an hour, and I just waited for a fart!
No one expected UCLA's performance to be so unbearable!
No one expected that the strength of the boilermaker would be so outrageous that he would beat the opponent in the finals?!
No one expected the finals to end so tirelessly!
The Pacers are playing away in Orlando, and many of their Pacers players have come to watch the game in this Finals, and it is no exaggeration to say that the NCAA Finals are much more attractive to NBA players than the NBA Finals!
Reggie Miller glanced disdainfully at Jim Harrick not far away after seeing the game go into garbage time.
“Told-ya,Dumpass”
The Pacers players gave a thumbs up and praised the brilliant foresight of boss Reggie Miller......
……
The next five minutes of garbage time made the fans look so excited that they couldn't arouse their interest at all, and some fans who were not interested in the post-match award ceremony have begun to leave the stadium at this moment!
Richard still reclined on the back of the chair, and even the direction of reclining just now was not very comfortable, and he changed the direction of reclining......
Jim Harrick hates itchy teeth......
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, he could only leave the field early with the players!
He knew very well that if he didn't leave the field after the game because of the previous quarrel with Richard, it would be embarrassing if he would be blocked by the reporters who swarmed in......
"Coach Jim, what about winning......"
"The gangsters who say they are good can't do anything......
……
At the end of the competition, it means that Richard's Purdue University boilermaker team has become the NCAA National Championship champion!
The temporary podium that was quickly set up on the spot, Richard walked up with the boiler workers!
Although the podium is a little simple, the mood of Richard and others is extremely agitated, this is the national championship, and the gold content is no worse than the NBA championship!
Even many American fans think that the gold content of the NCAA championship is higher than that of the NBA championship!
After all, the NCAA National Championship has more than 300 teams competing for it, while the NBA has less than 30 teams!
"Congratulations to Purdue!"
"Congratulations to the boilermakers!"
"Congratulations to Coach Richard and his great players!"
"Now we will hand over the microphone to Coach Richard, I think he must have a lot to say......" The chairman of the management committee first said a word of congratulations, and then handed the microphone to Richard!
There is no doubt that the protagonist of this award ceremony is Richard.
"It's an honor to stand on this podium, it's the honor of our Purdue University!"
"It's hard to say that this championship is a dream come true......"
"Because, even if I dreamed, I never dreamed that I would win a national championship at the age of 26!"
"This honor belongs to every Purdue person!"
Those fans who watched the award ceremony noticed at this moment that Richard was only twenty-six years old?!
At the age of twenty-six, in his first season as a coach, he led a team that was not favored, passed all the way, beat UCLA, the opponent of the finals, and won the championship that countless coaches dream of?!
What is Tianzhong Talent?!
This is called Tianzhong Talent!
For a while, countless cheers for Richard sounded at the scene!
What surprised the fans at the scene was that in this well-known West Lafayette gang in the United States, except for Richard, the rookie head coach, the other core players were all rookies.
Iverson, Big Ben and Brad Miller are all freshmen, and as for Brent Barry, although he is a senior, he is also a newcomer to the Boilermakers!
Who would have thought that a group of rookie rookies would win the championship in the national championship where the strong are like clouds!
This shows the value of this championship even more!
When receiving the wooden trophy of the NCAA championship from the chairman, everyone on the podium had red eyes!
Even Iverson, who has always shown himself as a rebellious person, is kissing the trophy affectionately at the moment.
"Coach, we're champions!"
"We are champions!"
The players crowded around Richard and cheered wildly.
……
After the championship trophy is awarded, it is time for the MOP awards!
The so-called MOP is actually exactly the same as the NBA's FMVP, but the name is different......
The FMVP is the Most Valuable Player of the Finals.
The MOP is the most outstanding player in the Final Four, and is generally awarded to the best player in the championship team, which is exactly the same as the selection requirements of the FMVP.
Many fans have called on the NCAA to simply change the MOP award to the MVP award.
But the NCAA Board of Governors ignored the call, arguing that while the two awards were essentially identical, there were nuances.
The NBA is a commercial league, so their MVP is the most valuable player, and what stands out is the value!
The NCAA, on the other hand, is not a business league, and they are at most outstanding and not valuable.
