Chapter 81: Winning
A group of people threw away the towels in their hands, and they all rushed to the court with a hula sound, and hugged Li Changgeng, Li Zheng, Song Liuming and others.
It's over!
After 40 minutes of regular battle, plus two overtimes, they finally came out on top, beating the United States by one point to claim the overall title.
At this moment, everyone in the Chinese team burst into tears.
The whole game has been paid, I don't know how much sweat has been spent, and along the way, they have experienced too much and endured too much.
From the group stage to the knockout round, they have been questioned and have endured the biased eyes of countless people. Even if they reach the finals, there is no way to make people agree, and countless people are still not optimistic about them, thinking that they will not win the championship.
It's a stress, and it's a deep pain!
Until now, the Chinese team has relaxed and dared to put down everything to cheer and celebrate, because they have become and won the championship, they have proved their tenacity and strength to the world, and they have proved that they can win the championship!
"Ah......h Li Zheng looked up to the sky and roared, tears flowing uncontrollably like bursting an embankment.
His mother, who was on the sidelines, also walked up at this time, with tears in her eyes, and hugged Li Zheng. Li Zheng hugged his mother and choked up: "We won, we won the championship." We finally succeeded. ”
"Well, you made it." Li Zheng's mother said with relief, "Son, you did it." ”
Li Zhenhua, Deng Yu, and Li Zheng also hugged their relatives, and everyone had tears of joy in their eyes, they were so excited.
Song Liu Ming beat his chest hard, and the seventeen-year-old boy cried, crying loudly, like a child.
Coach Geng Xiangzhi also cried, laughing in his mouth, wiping tears with his hands, a drop of tears slipped down, wetting his sleeves, he looked at the players under him, and said to himself happily: "Hehe, good, I knew you could do it, my lovely players." ”
Behind, a group of girls in the cheerleaders of the youth team cried even more fiercely.
Everyone was moved, covering their mouths, trying to suppress it, but they couldn't restrain their tears, and they burst out of their eyes recklessly.
"We won the championship, hehe...... Li Changgeng muttered to himself in a low voice, grinning and smirking, his eyes were sour, and his tears could not be controlled.
Seeing the fans cheering wildly in the audience, seeing the teammates who were excited and tearful, Coach Geng Xiangzhi, and a group of cheerleaders, Li Changgeng felt in a trance, as if he was back in last year, back to the time when he won the championship with everyone in Hongcheng City.
At that time, the crowd also wept!
"Cry, there's no shame, we won the championship, you care about me!" Li Changgeng grinned, first laughing, and then crying, just like his teammates.
Not far away, the players of the American team looked gloomy.
After fighting for so long, leading for so long, two overtimes, and still lost.
Are they willing? Of course not reconciled. Are they convinced? Of course not convinced. However, they all know that a loss is a loss.
"Chris, have you figured it out? Do you want to participate in the draft this year? Garcia quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Chris, "I have to participate in the draft, and if you want to participate in the draft, we can do it together." However, I would prefer that you don't participate in the draft. He paused, "If you stay, we still have a chance to challenge for the championship next year." I can't help the team, but I don't want the team to fall like that. So, I hope you stay. ”
"I ...... Chris opened his mouth, glanced at Li Changgeng in the crowd, shook his head and said, "I'll think about it again." ”
The U.S. team went into the locker room, and the fans who supported the U.S. team also left disappointed, leaving the stadium for the youth team.
A small staircase was erected, and countless ribbons were scattered on the dome.
A staff member stepped forward and distributed caps with the Chinese logo of the Chinese youth team to the players, and then asked everyone to stand on the steps.
Officials from the Youth Basketball Association came to the court and announced that the Chinese team of the Chinese Youth Team had become the champion of this year's Youth Basketball, and gave the Chinese Youth Team a championship trophy, a golden trophy with a basketball shape on the top and a golden base on the bottom, engraved with the name of the Youth Team and the word champion.
That's the ultimate honor, that's the overall championship trophy!
When the trophy was lifted, everyone in the youth team, whose emotions had calmed down, couldn't help but redden.
"Give me, give me a hug."
"I, it's my turn."
Everyone laughed and competed for the trophy, and they hugged it in their arms one by one and couldn't put it down.
Next, the officials of the Youth Basketball Association presented Li Changgeng with the Finals MVP trophy, a golden trophy that looks like a dribbling person, which is obviously one level higher than the crystal trophy of the NCAA MVP, which looks different.
In this game, Li Changgeng scored 36 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals, scoring and assists were the highest in the game, and he deserved to be the MVP.
Seeing Li Changgeng holding the MVP trophy, Anne in the audience had a blurred look in her eyes, tears of joy slipped down, she covered her mouth and smiled.
The younger brother blushed with excitement, pulled his uncle's arm, and shouted: "Dad, my brother has won the MVP trophy, and he has been elected MVP of the finals." ”
The uncle rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Isn't this normal?" As long as his performance today is not blind, he can see it, who will not give him the MVP trophy? What you have known for a long time, what are you fussing about? ”
"Yes." My aunt also said, "It's just a trophy, I don't think it's as big as the trophy of their team champion." ”
"So where can it be the same?" The younger brother was speechless and emphasized, "The team trophy is the team's, and the MVP trophy is your own." ”
Aunt Zhao Yan waved her hand: "Okay, okay, anyway, I think it's about the same...... ”
In fact, the significance of Li Changgeng's MVP trophy is far beyond the imagination of his uncle and aunt, because this is not only a youth basketball finals MVP trophy, but also the first finals MVP trophy won by a Chinese player in youth basketball, creating a history of Chinese players in youth basketball!
......
Guangxi.
At the East China Economic Company, Luo Jinnan and Li were also talking, while the assistants and the members of the company had dispersed.
"Hehe, it's also this kid who is angry, and he really overturned the American team, and I didn't think much of them before the game."
Xiaoli said with a smile.
Luo Jinnan said: "Yes, I was not optimistic about the youth team, but I didn't expect them to be so tenacious and dragged the game into overtime twice." Tsk, the U.S. team was wronged enough in this game, if it hadn't been for two overtimes, they wouldn't have lost. ”
Xiaoli nodded and said: "It can be said that the American team was dragged to death today, and in the end, they had no strength to fight, and those who had strength did not dare to fight." On the contrary, on the side of the youth team, that Song Liu Ming fought out of the air and decided the victory in one fell swoop. ”
Luo Jinnan nodded again and again......
Hongcheng, the director's office was the first to burst into cheers, and then soon, the whole school resounded with cheers.
After all, Li Changgeng has only been away from Hongcheng for a year, and his story is still circulating on campus, many people know him, and they have been paying attention to him and treating him as an idol. The youth team won the championship, Li Changgeng won the MVP, and the students of Hongcheng were naturally honored.
Tom's house.
"Whew...... Tom let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "It's over, finally won the championship." I went, too nervous. ”
"Hee-hee." Selena smiled, "I knew they would definitely win the championship, and I knew that Li Changgeng would definitely win." ”
"Yes." Tom spread his hands, "Are you happy now?" ”
On sports forums such as 3g Sports, Amber Flutter, Penguin, xinlAng, etc., fans went crazy.
The youth team won the championship, and the youth team won the championship!
This is Li Changgeng's team, the first Chinese in history to win the youth basketball championship, the first Chinese MVP in history, it's so exciting!
"From this day forward, you are my God!"
"Oh my God, it was so exciting, it was so exciting. I saw that the fans were all excited and like something, and then many people cried. ”
"yes, I almost cried. Tai Nima was nervous, but fortunately, in the end, the youth team won the championship, and Li Changgeng was mighty! ”
"Brothers of the water army, come with me and let's go and occupy the basketball association...... Help Li Changgeng enter the national team! Let's go, let's fight! ”
"Count me in, Li Changgeng must enter the national team."
"And me, +1!"
“ + 2 ...... ”
A group of fans who call themselves the water army are aggressively smashing to the official website of the Basketball Association, constantly swiping posts and leaving messages, and they are bound to help Li Changgeng enter the national team!
......
United States.
The night of celebration passed.
The next day, major media and newspapers published the news that the youth team defeated the United States team and won the youth basketball championship in this competition.
With this news, the name of Li Changgeng, the MVP of the new finals, also spread all at once, almost all over the United States.
The Chinese youth team also held a press conference this morning, with Geng Xiangzhi leading the coaching staff and a number of players from the Chinese team participating in the press conference. In addition, there are school directors of the youth team and many media reporters, which are located in the school auditorium of the youth team.
A reporter handed the microphone to Coach Geng Xiangzhi: "Coach Geng Xiangzhi, at the beginning of the competition, did you think that you could win the championship this year?" ”
"Nope." Geng Xiangzhi smiled, "But please don't doubt our champion's heart, although we are not sure that we will win the championship, but our goal is only to win the championship." Along the way, we have given a lot and experienced a lot, and this belief has never changed. ”
Another reporter asked: "Coach Geng Xiangzhi, who do you think is the hero who can win the championship this year, is it Li?" ”
"Hehe, obviously, we won the championship because of everyone's effort. However, Lee's role is the greatest, there is no doubt about it. "He's a very good guy, and I knew that from the first day he came to the youth team. ”
A group of reporters first asked Geng a few questions, and then turned their attention to the others.
Of course, their primary target is Li Changgeng, but Li Changgeng deliberately gave up the middle seat to Li Zheng, Li Zheng, and Li Zhenhua today.
The reporters obviously noticed this, so they didn't look for Li Changgeng directly, but handed the microphone to Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, you are a senior this year, and your performance in this game is very good, will you participate in the NBA draft next?" ”
"Hehe, that's what I just want to say." Li Zheng touched his nose and said seriously, "Yes, I'm already a senior, and it's time to make a choice." I've decided that I'm going to submit a draft request to the NBA league next, please bless me. ”
This answer is not unexpected.
In fact, everyone knows that Li Zheng is already a senior, and his individual performance and team performance in this game are very good, if he doesn't seize this opportunity to participate in the draft, then he has a problem with his brain.
Therefore, the reporters reacted calmly, asked Li Zheng two more questions, and then handed the microphone to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng was very direct and briefly talked about two sentences, and then changed the topic and said to reporters: "I also decided to participate in the NBA draft." ”
"Oh?" The reporters were slightly surprised.
Li Zheng is also a senior this year, and he must also make a choice, but his statistics cannot be compared with Li Zheng.
Although the youth team won the championship this year, it doesn't mean that those teams in the NBA will buy it, so the reporters were somewhat surprised that Li Zheng was participating in the draft, which was not very safe.
What surprised reporters even more was that Li Zhenhua and Deng Yu also announced that they would submit draft applications to the NBA league.
This means that the youth team will have four players participating in the draft at the same time!
"This ...... It's a little crazy! A reporter whispered to himself.
Others looked at Li Zheng, and Li Zheng and the others also had a little strange eyes, and it was really interesting that all four of them participated in the draft.
Then, the reporter asked Geng Xiangzhi: "Coach Geng Xiangzhi, there are 4 people in your team who are going to participate in the draft, what do you think about this?" ”
"I support them." "They're all very good young people, and I think they can get a contract in the NBA. It is all thanks to our youth team that we were able to win the championship this year, they have proved their strength with their actions, I wish them well, and I hope they can go better. ”
A group of reporters didn't say anything anymore, Geng Xiangzhi was building momentum, and if they continued to ask, it would be a gun for someone.
At this time, everyone focused their attention on Li Changgeng.
A reporter squeezed to the front and handed the microphone to Li Changgeng: "Li, your teammates will all participate in the draft, are you envious?" ”
"Not envious at all." Li Changgeng smiled slightly, which made a group of reporters slightly embarrassed, but Li Changgeng quickly gave an explanation: "In fact, I also decided to submit a draft application to the NBA league. ”
"Oh." The reporter sighed, and then suddenly reacted, "Wait, what did you just say?" She stared at Li Changgeng with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "You mean, you also want to participate in the draft?" Just this year, with your teammates? ”
"Yes." Li Changgeng smiled, "I also want to participate in the draft, just this year." ”
"Ho ...... The reporters were all shocked.
This year is also Li Changgeng's first competition, and Li Changgeng has not said anything about participating in the draft before. Now he suddenly said that he was going to participate in the draft, which was too unexpected.
What's more, counting Li Changgeng, there are 5 people in the youth team participating in the draft at the same time this year, which is almost a record.
There has never been a situation in China where five people participate in the draft at the same time.
Li Zheng, Sima Shenji, Li Zhenhua, and Deng Yu were also very surprised, and several people looked at Geng Xiangzhi together: "Coach ...... ”
Geng Xiangzhi smiled faintly and said, "Yes, Li Changgeng will also participate in the draft, he has communicated with me, and I support him to participate in the draft." Then, Geng Xiangzhi looked at the media reporters, "Although this year is the first game of Li Changgeng in youth basketball, he has proven himself that with his strength, he can enter the NBA." ”
"Yes."
"That's right." The reporters nodded their heads.
There is no doubt about this, Li Changgeng's performance in this game is amazing, the group stage, the knockout round, along the way, he played better and better, whether it was a personal high of 40 points in a single game, or a record-breaking 23 assists, won the championship..... All this represents his strength, and Geng Xiangzhi said that he can enter the NBA is not an exaggeration, but a realistic matter.
It's just that not many people thought that Li Changgeng would participate in the draft.
Now that Li Changgeng suddenly announced that he was going to participate in the draft, it is conceivable that soon those brokerage companies will send people to contact Li Changgeng, and those NBA teams will also be very interested in him, and even some advertisers will find Li Changgeng and invite him to serve as a commercial endorsement.
If Li Changgeng continues to stay in the youth team, then he is still a youth basketball player and cannot accept commercial endorsements, but once he participates in the draft, it doesn't matter.
With Li Changgeng's current fame, coupled with his identity as a Chinese, there will be many merchants looking for him to endorse, that's for sure!
As soon as this news came out, media reporters immediately became uninterested in everything else.
A press conference had to be hastily ended, and reporters and media left one after another.
.......
Sure enough, on the NBA draft day, Li Changgeng participated in the draft, and finally because of his outstanding performance, Li Changgeng was selected by the Lakers and got the position of the top spot, but this made Li Changgeng very angry, because in front of him was Chris, who was defeated by his subordinates, so in the later games, he broke Chris in one fell swoop, led the team into the playoffs, and won the best rookie of the season, a defensive team, an offensive team, an all-star, and an all-star vote to win the title of vote king, MVP candidate third and a series of honors.
Although he was eliminated in the first round, Li Changgeng's outstanding performance amazed countless people.
As for the others, except for Li Zheng and Sima Shenji, the rest are all second-round show positions, so there is nothing to do this year.
However, his legend has only just begun.
In the second season, because of the arrival of Li Changgeng, the Lakers team took on a new look, before the All-Star, Li Changgeng was the best rookie of the month in the West every month, helping the team get a record of 55 points, after the All-Star, Li Changgeng entered the shortlist of the best player of the month in the West, and finally before the end of the season, he got the best player of the month in the West, and in the last regular season, he beat the Rockets and got the ticket to the playoffs. And won the title of best rookie and was selected for the offensive three teams.
However, Li Chang Gung was inexperienced and lost four games in a row to the Warriors, and the Lakers were eliminated.
In addition to defense, Li Changgeng is also A-, and all indicators have reached A-level, and he has learned the vitality bullet (lore skill).
In his third season, Li Changgeng led the team to a 57-win record, was selected as a Western All-Star starter, participated in the slam dunk contest that he rejected last year, and won the championship. He was named to the second team for offense, as well as the third team for best defense, and finished eighth in the playoffs.
The Lakers beat the Spurs in the second round, and in the second round, they met the Warriors again, and finally lost to the Warriors 4-2 and stopped in the second round.
Reach A level in defense, reach s - in agility, and learn 20 times the King of the Realm Fist (strength is increased by one level, and it is invalid after S level).
In the fourth season, Li Changgeng led the team to 60 wins and entered the playoffs as the third in the Western Conference. Lee Chang Gung entered the MVP list and lost to Curry by one point, but he won the title of scoring champion this year, was selected for the offensive first team, defensive second team, and in the playoffs, he beat the Mavericks 4-0, the Thunder 4-2, and the Warriors 4-3 to enter the Finals, and finally lost to Anthony and lost 4-2 to the Green Army.
Agility Strength Reaches S, Defense S - , Learns Dragon Fist (S Rank Skill Power is doubled)
In the fifth season, the Lakers tied the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins, entered the playoffs as the first in the Western Conference, swept the first two rounds, and 4-2 became a nightmare in the hearts of the Warriors, and finally knocked out the defending champion and won the championship. Li Changgeng won double MVP and scoring champion this season. Attack for a while, defend for a while.
Agility Strength S+, Defense S-, Unlearned Skills.
Then came the Olympic Games, Li Changgeng represented the national team in the competition, and helped the national team get the final victory, during which Li Changgeng defense reached S +, the four attributes S +, plus the acquisition of the last skill - fusion (fusion of the four skills), successfully became the only R-level player in history, and at the same time Xiao Er also dissipated.
In the following season, Li Changgeng continued to break records, won 10 consecutive championships, became the first in total points, assists, and steals in history, and finally retired and returned to China as a coach.
At the top of the Forbidden City, Li Changgeng stood on the city wall, looking at the mountain scenery in the distance, and his heart was full of pride.
Selena, Li Zheng, Sima Shenji, and Coach Tao Ran and other relatives and friends around him, looking at Li Changgeng's happy appearance on it, were also happy for him.
At this time, a bolt of lightning came down from the sky and slashed at Li Changgeng, who was suddenly caught off guard and was split into the void.
Li Chang Gung, who was only 35 years old, passed away, and this day was designated as Li Chang Geng Day by China, a festival born to commemorate Li Chang Geng.
