Chapter Seventy-Two—A Night of Celebration
In an instant, the originally dim auditorium was suddenly brightly lit, and two white curtains on the main stands on both sides of the stadium covered the entire auditorium.
And if you look closely, the giant T-shirt is not obscured, and the audience is also wearing the same style of T-shirt as the giant T-shirt, and the Stanford generals will understand this so-called surprise.
"This celebratory jersey will be on display in our trophy room at Stanford University, along with the NCAA championship trophy that the lads have worked so hard to earn." John Hannes took the opportunity to say at this time, and the atmosphere of the scene reached another peak.
Stanford generals heard President John Hannes' words, their hearts were also excited, you must know that this kind of honor is very rare, that is the trophy room of Stanford University, the awards displayed in it are all famous, and now they have won this NCAA championship trophy can be displayed with them, how glorious is this?
"Finally, I would like to ask our hero to make a final summary." Principal John Hannes handed the microphone to Lee, much to Lee's surprise, shouldn't it be Coach Trent Johnson at this time? Why did Principal John Hannes hand him the microphone? Lee immediately cast a puzzled look at Coach Trent Johnson.
Coach Trent Johnson gave Li Yao a reassuring and bold look, and Coach Trent Johnson also hoped that his favorite disciple would still represent the Stanford basketball team at the last moment to deliver his final summary for Stanford.
"Well, I don't know why it's my turn to make the final summary, in fact, there are many people who are more reasonable than me to stand here, but since everyone asked me to make a summary, then I'll say a few words." Looking back at the encouraging eyes of his teammates, Li Yao had no choice but to take the microphone from Principal John Hannes.
"Our Stanford motto: The wind of freedom blows, it is in accordance with this motto that we at Stanford have been able to produce countless talents, and now we can only say that we have achieved a small amount of success can not imagine that we can be cared for by everyone, we are really very grateful." After speaking, Li Yao bowed to the stands on all sides.
Li Yao was greeted by warm applause from the 50,000 spectators at the scene.
"In the future, some of my teammates and I will go into the NBA Pro League and no longer be a member of Stanford, but we will not forget that we were once Stanforders, and we will all be proud to be a Stanford, what about you?" Li Yao shouted loudly, for this kind of summary statement, although Li Yao had not done it in his previous life, he had never eaten pork and never seen a pig go? After experiencing so many spicy leadership speeches, Li Yao can also learn seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and now he is just taking it to save the scene.
"I'm proud to be a Stanforder." Nearly 20,000 students at the scene immediately echoed Li Yao excitedly, and even the other 30,000 citizens of Palo Alto City couldn't help but echo it, although they were not Stanford students, but in Palo Alto City, Stanford was their representative, and they were Stanford people.
"It's a shame that this little guy is going to play basketball." President John Hannes said to Coach Trent Johnson on the side with some regret that in his opinion, Li Yao, who was making speeches on stage, would be more suitable to be a politician.
"What do you mean by playing basketball? Lee was born for basketball. "Coach Trent Johnson heard that Principal John Hannes actually said that it was a pity for Li Yao to play basketball, and he immediately exploded, you must know that in his opinion, his disciple can be said to be the proudest masterpiece of his coaching career, but now he is said to be a pity to play basketball, which makes him as a basketball coach Li Ya how can he bear it? Even if the other party is your immediate boss, it can't be.
"Okay, okay, I'll just say it casually, but this little guy will be a good hand if he is a politician." Principal John Hannes looked at Coach Trent Johnson on the sidelines, not to mention Dole.
“Hail Stanford Hail - StanfordUniversity Alma MaterWhere the rolling foothills riseUp towards mountains higherWhere at eve the Coast Range liesIn the sunset fireFlushing deep and palingHere we raise our voices,hailingThee, our Alma MaterFrom the Foothills to the bayIt shall ringAs we singIt shall ring and float awayHail, Stanford, hail! Hail, Stanford, hail! Li Yao took the lead in singing the school song of Stanford University, and he needed to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene to the peak at the last moment.
When the first sentence of Li Yao's mouth sounded, nearly 20,000 Stanford students at the scene couldn't help but sing along with Li Yao, and the Stanford school song suddenly echoed in the silent night sky.
Even Principal John Hannes and Coach Trent Johnson, who were still arguing just now, stopped at the same time and sang along with Li Yao with a serious face, and for a moment there was only one voice echoing in the empty Stanford Stadium.
When Li Yao finished singing the last sentence, the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak, and all the audience, whether it was the students of Stanford University or the citizens of Palo Alto, were cheering and screaming incessantly.
"I declare that this is the end of the celebration party." Principal John Hannes didn't say much about the microphone handed over by Li Yao, and directly announced the end, so that Li Yao on the side looked sideways, knowing that if this was not another half an hour in China, the leader's speech would definitely not end.
When President John Hannes finished the announcement, fireworks burst into flames on the sidelines, and the loudspeakers in Stanford Stadium also played the Stanford University anthem, and the 50,000 spectators at the scene once again fell into a sea of joy.
The Stanford squad also returned to the locker room with Coach Trent Johnson.
"By the way, the school's customized jersey to celebrate the championship this time, you need a few pieces, remember to report to me later, I can help you get it." Looking at the students laughing and playing in the locker room, Coach Trent Johnson couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth, they are his pride.
"Coach, how much does this dress cost?" Li Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered an article he had seen on the Internet in his previous life about the price of the celebration jersey of the NCAA championship team, and immediately asked Coach Trent Johnson.
"How do I know, I've been with you all along, it's the news that President John Hannes just told me, but based on the experience of other universities in the past, it should be around $20, what's wrong?" Coach Trent Johnson asked puzzled, he didn't know why Li Yao asked this, didn't the school want to give it to them for free, why did Li Yao ask the price?
"20 US dollars? Wow, the coach will apply for more than 1,000 pieces for me. I can sell him 20,000 US dollars after the jersey, this easy way to make money is simply profitable! When Li Yao heard that a jersey could be sold for 20 US dollars, his eyes were suddenly occupied by the green US knife, and he asked Coach Trent Johnson for 1,000 jerseys at all. Li Yao felt that he was going to send it.
"Poof, Lee, are you crazy? What are you going to do? Do you want to sell it? 1,000 pieces? Coach Trent Johnson, who just picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank it, instantly squirted the water out of his mouth, and Coach Trent Johnson was completely frightened by Lee's numbers in the air.
"It's not that you made us say how much we need, why are you blaming me now?" At this time, Li Yao finally realized how excessive his request was just now, but when he remembered that it was 20,000 US dollars, Li Yao's eyes flickered again.
"I'm asking you to say how much you need, but isn't it too much for you to have 1,000 pieces in this mouth?" Coach Trent Johnson looked at his favorite disciple speechlessly.
"Well, if you can have 1,000 jerseys, you can sell them for 20,000 US dollars, which is a lot of money." Li Yao crossed his fingers and began to settle accounts for Coach Trent Johnson, 20,000 US dollars, converted into RMB, in 08 this year, the exchange rate of nearly 7 yuan, is 1.4 million yuan! Where had Li Yao seen so much money in his last life? You must know that in his previous life, Li Yao's bank deposit was only 5 digits, and in the face of the temptation of these 7 figures, where can Li Yao control himself?
"You kid wants to go crazy for money, you actually want to make money by selling clothes? You must know that the prize money for you to win the NCAA championship this time is not only the price of these 1,000 clothes, but also that you are about to enter the NBA, and the contract is signed for millions of dollars, you kid still have this kind of thought? Coach Trent Johnson was so impressed by Lee's bizarre idea that he never thought that Lee's desire for 1,000 celebratory jerseys would be sold for $20,000, which was beyond his imagination.
"Nani? There is also a prize for winning the championship? How much is that? Since it's more than $20,000, then I don't want to celebrate so many jerseys, just give me 100 pieces. After hearing Coach Trent Johnson tell him that there was such a good thing as a championship bonus, Lee waved his hand and said that he didn't want the 1,000 celebratory jerseys.
"Poof, why do you need so much?" When he heard that Li Yao didn't want so many celebration jerseys, Coach Trent Johnson's heart finally let go, after all, the number of 1,000 pieces was too terrifying, but who would have thought that Li Yao didn't want 1,000 pieces, but he still wanted 100 pieces, Coach Trent Johnson almost wanted to slam the door and leave, he was a little unbearable to this disciple who saw wealth.
"Well, coach, I'm going back to China soon, so I want to share the honor of Stanford with my countrymen." This is indeed Li Yao's true thoughts, the 08 Olympics are coming soon, although I don't know if I can enter the national team, but this once-in-a-century event, Li Yao will definitely not miss it, as for why 100 jerseys? Of course, it's a gift, but as for who to send? Li Yao hasn't really figured it out yet, but it's the right thing to get the jersey in his hands first.
"It's rare that you have such an idea, you are worthy of being a member of Stanford, I will apply to the principal, and the specific reply will have to wait for a while, after all, the amount you need is too great." After hearing Li Yao's words, Coach Trent Johnson also remembered that this year's Olympic Games were held in China, and Li Yao would definitely be selected for the Chinese basketball team, so Coach Trent Johnson said that it was understandable for Li Yao to ask for 100 celebration jerseys.
