Chapter 61 – "We Are the Champions!" ”
"After nearly a month and 64 teams battled each other, the NCAA Men's Basketball Finals champion was finally decided today, they are from Stanford University in Palo Alto, southern San Francisco Bay Area, California. Lopez and Brooke. A player like Lopez, and a meritorious coach like Coach Trent Johnson, finally stood at the top of the NCAA men's basketball team today, and now the audience and friends in the audience let us congratulate them together. The DJ at the scene held the microphone and shouted loudly at the moment of the final whistle.
Li Yao couldn't control the excitement in his heart as soon as he threw the ball out, he pulled the jersey on his body and roared, he didn't know what he was yelling at, he just wanted to vent his excitement at this time.
And Jackson ran to Li Yao's side for the first time, hugged Li Yao, and kept shouting in Li Yao's ear: "We are the champions, we are the champions." ”
"That's right, we're champions." Li Yao didn't mind Jackson's loud noise in his ear at this time, because he only had one mood at this time, and that was excitement.
The two Lopez brothers also hugged each other tightly, with tears in their eyes, and they fought all season to finally reap the fruits of victory today.
However, at this time, there was one person on the Stanford court who was very unhappy, that person was the scoring guard Henry, and the five people on the Stanford court at this time, Li Yao and Jackson, Robin. Lopez and Brooke. Lopez hugged each other, leaving him alone.
Henry watched the other two teams of "" leaning against each other, and he could only be alone, and saw Landry on the bench dancing in celebration. Fields, Henry's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he rushed over and jumped to Landry. Fields celebrates with him, and Landry, who is startled by Henry's sudden move. Fields, after seeing that it was Henry, didn't think much about it, and pulled him to celebrate together.
Coach Trent Johnson on the bench on Stanford's side also hugged his assistant coach Jason, as the head coach, he led the team step by step to this day under the premise that his team was not favored by everyone, and now won the coveted championship, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing.
Assistant coach Jason also didn't expect that he would win the NCAA championship with the team in his first year as assistant coach of the Stanford basketball team, which would add a lot of color to his resume.
Compared with the excitement on Stanford's side, everyone at Memphis University looked gloomy. Dorsey, the big man, even sat on the floor to hide his face and cry bitterly at the moment of the final whistle.
C.D. Roberts, one of the University of Memphis' backcourt twins, also lost his old color in his eyes, staring at the scoreboard with his eyes blankly and feeling empty in his heart.
And Derek. Rose, as the most popular candidate today, is not only uncomfortable at this time, but also worried, he is worried that the loss of this Finals will affect his future NBA draft pick, and he is even more worried about the subsequent impact.
Coach Kalipari was also uncomfortable, after all, he was so close to the championship trophy of the finals, but in the end he passed by, this feeling was too uncomfortable.
However, as the head coach of the whole team, he knows that he must not continue to be sad now, his young disciples are still waiting for his comfort, although many of them will run to their own paths for the future after today, but they are still his lovely disciples today, and it is his responsibility to comfort their wounded hearts.
"Unbelievable, it's really inspiring, Stanford University is not favored by everyone, all the way through the posture of a dark horse, those who are optimistic about the heroes have all fallen under their iron hooves, today they are standing at the pinnacle of men's basketball in the United States, let's congratulate them." ESPN's Reggie. Miller is also very appreciative of Stanford's inspirational storyline and praises it a lot.
"That's right, Reggie, I feel like this Stanford basketball team is the Kaiserslautern of basketball." As Reggie. Miller's partner, Mark. Jackson also chimed in.
"What is Kaiserslautern?" Reggie. Miller looked at Mark with a puzzled expression. Jackson.
"Uh, it's fine." Mark. Jackson didn't know how to talk to Reggie. Miller, a football-blind footballer, explained the myth of Kaiserslautern and had no choice but to stop his own topic.
Compared with the commentary on ESPN's side, the cross talk duo on TNT's side had a little accident.
"Kenny, what do you think of Derek this time. Will Rose's loss in the finals affect his draft pick? The fire of Barkley's gossip burned again.
"Sir Charles, shouldn't we first congratulate Stanford on winning the championship?" Kenny, who had already figured out his words at the end of the game. Smith wanted to strangle Barkley, but he was suddenly interrupted, and he forgot all the words he had just summarized in his mind.
"Hey, Kenny, there's no need to worry about this kind of thing, after all, everyone knows that the champion is Stanford, and I'm more concerned about China's Lee draft order in the future, and now that Stanford has won the championship, I think if nothing else, the mop will also be awarded to Lee, so I believe that Lee's order will be further than before." You must know that the newly announced mock draft pick Lee has already rushed into the top five, if he wins the mop again, will Lee's pick enter the top three? Barkley analyzed it carefully and found that Lee's mock draft pick was simply a rocket-like rise.
"Sir Charles, Lee has indeed improved a lot, coupled with the improvement of the mock draft pick, I believe that Lee's final top ten or even top five should not be a big problem, but if you say that Lee can enter the top three, I think it's a bit unrealistic, after all, the top three in the current mock draft are oj. Mayo, Derek. Ross, and Michael. Beasley. You must know that the three of them have long been famous in the United States, and compared to Lee's sudden rise, I believe that the NBA uniform team of the first three drafts will choose between the three. "Although Kenny. Smith likes Li Yao's style very much, and he is also known as a fan of Li Yao, but the facts are in front of his face, some things are so realistic, Li Yao's fame time is too short, which will make those NBA uniform teams who are waiting and see have a lot of concerns.
"Hey, Kenny, I don't agree with what you say, but you're still known as a fan of Lee, which of the top three picks in the draft you said is not Lee's loser?" Barkley doesn't give Kenny anything. The three young handsomes in Smith's mouth have little face.
"Sir Charles, of course I'm a fan of Lee, but there are some things, hey, forget it." Kenny. Smith really couldn't say it so obviously.
"Don't worry, Kenny, of course I know what you mean, but you've been ignoring a very important question." Barkley mysteriously to Kenny. Smith said.
"What?" Kenny. Smith looked at Barkley with a puzzled expression, he really didn't know what he had overlooked.
"China Lee." Barkley said word for word.
"Oh!" Kenny. Smithton suddenly realized that he had been ignoring the vast Chinese market behind Lee, so it was not impossible for Lee to reach the top three.
"Although Stanford University won the championship, I still hope that everyone will give encouragement to the University of Memphis, after all, it is not easy for them to get to where they are today." Barkley suddenly said seriously.
Kenny. Smith nearly choked on a mouthful of water from Barkley's sudden serious commentary.
Stanford University continued to celebrate, while the University of Memphis slowly left this sad place under the comfort of Coach Calipari.
Soon after, a team of staff erected a staircase in the very center of the course. Caps with the Stanford University emblem were delivered to the Stanford crowd by the staff.
When the NCAA presenters took the stage to hand over the championship trophy to Coach Trent Johnson, the salute over the Dolphin Stadium continued to sound, and countless streamers also fell.
The 70,000 spectators at the scene immediately fell into a carnival, except for some die-hard University of Memphis fans who had sadly left, and the rest of the fans, whether they were Stanford fans or some neutral fans, hugged each other at this time to celebrate this exciting moment.
Coach Trent Johnson caressed the championship trophy in his hand, the glittering trophy was more enticing than any gem.
Gently wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Coach Trent Johnson handed over the championship trophy in his hand to Li Yao, the Chinese disciple he was most satisfied with.
Li Yao looked at Coach Trent Johnson's movements with a blank face, he didn't know why the coach would hand over the championship trophy to him at this time, but after seeing the encouraging eyes of Coach Trent Johnson and his teammates, Li Yao knew that he had a duty to do this task.
Li Yao slowly received the trophy representing the highest honor of the NCAA from Coach Trent Johnson, first bowed his head and kissed the trophy, then raised the trophy above his head with both hands, and shouted: "We are the champions!" ”
"We are champions!"
"We are champions!"
The rest of Stanford shouted excitedly.
The cannon salute above the Dolphin Stadium once again resounded in the sky.
"Hey, I'll never be able to touch that trophy in my life." The moment Wei Shao saw Li Yao holding the trophy, he suddenly felt a little sad.
"What's this, if you think it's a pity, stay in school for a year, and then enter the league next year after winning the championship trophy." Wade looked at Wei Shao, who had been an optimist since he came into contact, but at this time he had a sad expression on his face, and couldn't help but laugh.
