Chapter 45: The reaction of the Memphis athletic director
When the game ended, the interface of task completion also appeared in Li Kaiming's sight.
[System]: Congratulations to the host, complete the B-level basic task, get 15 attribute points, 150 points, complete the B-level advanced task, and get three badge upgrades!
Although he was shocked by this B-rank mission long before the start of the competition, he couldn't help but get excited when the mission reward arrived!
That's a full 15 attribute points and 150 points!
In addition to the Starter Pack for the first time, it was the first time he had seen so many rewards!
It's like a beggar walking down the street and suddenly picking up a wallet, opening it to see that it contains tens of thousands of dollars in cash!
A surprise from the sky!
Equally excited was the rest of Memphis, Pastner with his hands on his face, he couldn't believe that he had led this team to the Sweet Sixteen.
You must know that former Memphis coach Calipari, as a famous head coach in the NCAA, a famous coach who can be poached by Kentucky, with a high-pick rookie like Tyrek Evans, also reached the sweet round of 16!
Evans averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game in his first season in the NBA.
In other words, a Hall of Fame-caliber coach like Calypari, with an All-Star rim player and a perfect group of puzzle players, has only gotten to where they have been so far.
And he, Pastner, a rookie coach, may still be the youngest head coach in the NCAA so far, with such a stormy team, climbed to the same position as last season!
Regardless of the outcome of this season, he has already proven his worth to the world and to the school!
Elliott Williams is also embarrassed, this is only his first year in college, and he can break into the final 16 of the NCAA National Championship as a core, which is like a dream.
When he first came into the team, he still clearly remembered what coach Pastner had told him.
"You are a very talented child, but our whole team is not talented enough, this season, the team's record may not be satisfactory to you and me, but we work together to make you have a good order!"
At that time, Pastner finally managed to pull a talented player, so he naturally had to do his best to keep him.
But now, they've done what no one else expected!
Kemp, Weatherpens and other team veterans are even more excited to hug each other, they may not have enough talent to enter the NBA, but as professional basketball players, no one likes to lose, and they also want to go further in the few remaining team time, in March Madness.
Perhaps, you can also see what the NCAA trophy looks like......
——
University of Memphis Athletic Department.
A figure rushed through the hallway, knocked on the door, and without hearing the permission from the owner of the room to enter, he couldn't wait to push open the office door, and shouted at the same time, "Good news! ”
In the office, a spirited old man raised his head, supported the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hooked index finger, and looked displeased, "Carey, how many times have you said it, do things steadily, don't be startled, if it goes on like this, I, an old man, will be scared out of heart disease by you!" ”
Kyrie Daisy said sorry, but the joy on her face didn't fade for a moment, "Director, I have good news for you!" ”
Ferguson Leonard, the man with reading glasses, is the athletic director of the University of Memphis, and when he heard Daisy's words, he didn't lift his eyelids, but picked up the file on the side, "Oh? Tell me about it! ”
He has lived for so many years, what wind and waves have he not seen? Good news, huh.
Today's young people, I haven't seen the world, and I make a fuss when I encounter something, and when we first broke into the NCAA Finals, I wasn't as excited as you......
Leonard couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this.
Young people, you still have to go through it!
Daisy looked at Director Leonard's disdainful look, and a wicked expression suddenly appeared on her face, she bent down, gently approached the latter, and then in an almost inaudible voice, leaned into Leonard's ear and whispered, "Director, the Tigers have broken into the Sweet Sixteen." ”
Leonard flipped a page of documents and said in a flat tone, "The Tigers made it to the round of sixteen? What's so ...... about such a trifle?"
As soon as he was halfway through his words, his voice seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound for a moment, and his hand turning the page stopped in mid-air, motionless.
The entire office fell silent in an instant.
Let's go!
The folder in Leonard's hand suddenly fell from his hand and landed on his desk with a crisp crashing sound.
He looked up in disbelief, two gray eyebrows almost raised, "What? What did you just say? ”
Looking at the director's appearance, Daisy snickered in her heart, but she still said seriously, "In the game that just ended, the Tigers defeated the University of Michigan Spartan 82-63 and broke into the NCAA Sweet Sixteen round!" ”
Leonard stood up suddenly!
He propped his hands on the table, his body erupted with a powerful momentum, his eyes staring straight at Daisy, word by word, "You say it again?" ”
Daisy was taken aback by the director's series of actions, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times before she whispered, "Let's enter the top 16!" ”
Leonard slapped the table with a slap, "Beautiful! ”
Then he burst out laughing, out of breath, "Pastner, well done!" I knew that I would have been right to choose you as head coach in the first place! ”
In order to put pressure on Pastner, he set a goal of breaking into March Madness, which is both high and high, and not high.
For a rookie like Pastner, this goal is undoubtedly a guillotine hanging over his head, which could be chopped down at any moment and cut his coaching career in two!
But what Leonard couldn't have imagined was that this guy Pastner not only achieved the goal, but also exceeded it!
Thinking of this, he asked again, "Who is the best performer in the team to play like this?" Elliott? Or ......"
A look of admiration appeared in Daisy's eyes, "It's Li Kaiming, he set another record this time, with 36 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals, these basic data are the highest among all players on both sides, this is the first time that a player has completed it since the establishment of the NCAA!" ”
Leonard was also stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Sure enough, it's him!" At first, I thought this kid was just a flash in the pan, but I didn't expect him to be able to perform like this in the national championships! ”
Daisy Chick nodded like a peck of rice, "Yes, Director, after today, will he be stable in the NBA?" ”
Leonard laughed, "If there are no candidates yet, then I believe that those scouts in the NBA should each have a guide dog in their hands when they go out!" ”
