Chapter 76: The NCAA Finals with a Precedent
Xiao Du was the one who scored free throws, but Li Ke's name was still shouting.
“Sheldon!sheldon!sheldon!sheldon!”
With such cheers, Xiao Du still made both free throws, and the gap in the score has widened to 7 points.
In the last 27 seconds, the University of Florida, who had no timeout, gritted the bullet and made a fast attack. Taolin Green scored a three-pointer, but still missed.
The person who grabbed the rebound this time was Connor Archieley. Foda made a quick move and immediately broke the rules.
There were two free throws, and Archieley lost one, but it was no longer hindered the overall situation.
With an 8-point difference, in the last 16 seconds, Fo Da snatched another three-pointer. This time it was Li Heffley who took the shot, but he still didn't make it.
But at the basket, Horford grabbed the rebound and scored a tip-in.
Even so, this ball can only be regarded as a comfort ball from Fo Da.
Because after the ball entered, the timer stopped, and there were only 2.2 seconds left.
At the bottom line, the University of Texas drove the ball out and spent these 2.2 seconds.
"The game is over, with a 6-point advantage, the University of Texas narrowly beat the University of Florida in the last moment!"
As the game ended, Georgia Dome Stadium became a sea of longhorn oranges, and the University of Texas carnival began...
On the side of the court, Li Ke raised his hands high and shouted: "Champion is the champion!"
Then he was picked up by the giant Handxt Pittman beside him, and other teammates rushed over, including Damien James, who had always had a bad relationship with him...
“We are the champions!”
"Champion!"
Xiao Du shouted, Augustine also shouted, and more people were shouting.
At the same time, Director Zhang had just fiddled with his headset again, and his signature shouting was not missed: "Campion, champion!"
"The champion of the 2007 NCAA Championship is the President of the University of Texas at Austin!"
The ribbons floated, and golden rain fell from the Georgia dome!
Captain A.J. Abrams held up the championship trophy, and head coach Rick Barnes cut the Nets...
Then there is the highlight of the championship, the mop of the semifinals.
The official ncaa was in a silence, and the commentator also began a heated discussion.
Of course, the commentary seat of Yangwu was only discussed, not intense:
"The mop trophy is about to be awarded, and Li Ke is qualified to win this trophy."
"Yes, the highest score in the entire game of Ohio State was the last moment he stood up to lock in the victory. Who else could he give if he didn't give it?"
CBS commentary seat, Maricarillo is simple and clear:
"I will choose Sheldon, in the semi-finals, the University of Texas easily defeated Ohio State was the game of the schedu pick-and-roll that he thought of. This final was also him. He scored three three-pointers in a row at the last moment to secure the victory..."
Shannon Sharp's opposition is simpler: "But in terms of comprehensive data, kd is better, and kd is the core of the longhorn..."
Then it was the two guests' turn, and coach K unexpectedly supported Li Ke: "Mop has always been awarded to the most outstanding players in the semi-finals. It is not an exclusive award for the core players of the championship team. Last year, Fozda won the championship, but Mop was Jokin Noah... So, I support Sheldon, his performance is surprising. In contrast, KD only played his due personal performance..."
Jordan was silent for a long time and smiled slightly: "Why can't mop be two people?"
“KD and Sheldon won the award at the same time?”
Coach K shook his head: "There is no precedent."
"Then let's set a precedent!"
NCAA Chairman Miles Brand, full of silver hair and glasses, walked to the center of the court.
Georgia Dome Stadium quieted down, and Miles Brand took the microphone from the host's hand and announced: "The one who won the most outstanding player award for the semi-finals of the NCAA Championships this year is Kevin Durant!"
There was a cheer on the sidelines, and Shannon Sharp raised his hands, and he guessed it right.
Jordan breathed a sigh of relief, mop? That's not a good thing, nothing is better.
Director Zhang and Yu Jia frowned, discriminatory, partial, and star-making?
but……
Myers Brand immediately added an "and": "Li Ke!"
At that moment, the cheers at Georgia Dome Stadium became louder, and the shouts of sheldon and KD were evenly matched.
Director Zhang and Yu Jia stretched their eyebrows, that's right!
Jordan raised his eyebrows and shook his head and laughed.
Coach K murmured to himself: "This is the precedent?"
"It has been 67 years since the first MOP award was announced in 1940. The NCAA Final Four MOP award was awarded to two players for the first time! Will this be the beginning of a unique legendary story?"
Yangwu’s commentary seat:
"I won the championship and got the mop trophy. Li Ke directly achieved the highest achievement of NCAA!"
"I hope there will be successors in the country to impact the achievements he has achieved."
"Li Ke should run for the NBA this year, right?"
"It must be done, his ncaa has been fulfilled."
On the court, Li Ke and Xiao Du, who had already fulfilled their promise, held up the mop trophy together.
Milesbrand explained in a low voice: "It's too late to prepare another trophy. If you hold it, you can share one. Within two months, the official ncaa will mail you the second trophy he made."
"Then who will give this trophy first?"
Xiao Du pushed the trophy to Li Ke: "Sheldon, this is what you deserve."
Li Ke refused: "No, Kevin, this is what you deserve."
“…”
On the sidelines, LeBron James and Kobe, two who had never been to college, suddenly felt a little jealous as Li Ke and Xiao Du pushed around.
At the end of the celebration, all the Longhorn players, coaches, and management of the University of Texas Athletic Department wore the championship-winning T-shirts, and the baseball caps with the Longhorn logo were placed in a row.
a.j. Abrams held the championship trophy, Rick Barnes held the cut Nets in his hand, and Li Ke and Xiao Du held the mop trophy at the same time.
With a click, a scene worth remembering was frozen...
...
Back in the locker room, Xiao Du was holding the mop trophy.
Li Ke prefers the trophy made after the cast. After all, unlike this one that was once owned by two people at the same time, that trophy belongs to him alone.
Sitting in the locker room, Li Ke immediately stood in front of him with reporters from all over the world.
"After NCAA won the championship, it was the NBA draft. Sheldon, have you decided?"
"Will you participate in this year's NBA draft?"
“…”
Li Ke took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, I have made a decision to participate in this year's NBA draft!"
The locker room, which had already been quiet, became chaotic in an instant.
"So, who is your agent?"
"Is there a team that I like?"
"Who do you want to play with the most when you enter NBA?"
“…”
There were another bunch of messy questions. Li Ke raised his hand and pressed it. After he was completely quiet in front of him, he slowly replied: "I don't have an agent yet, but I will talk to those agents who are interested in me as soon as possible..."
"I won't answer other NBA-related questions until I sign a dealer."
...
On the TV, espn is broadcasting this interview in real time, and CCTV's signal source also comes from espn.
There are many people facing the TV-
Larry Bird, he touched his chin, took out his cell phone, and told Joe Henson regardless of the noise on the other side of the receiver: "Joe, you can invite Sheldon to participate in the Pacers' trial."
A young man in a certain province's youth team looked at Li Ke on the TV and clenched his fists. Half an hour later, he stood in front of a tall middle-aged man in a suit and tie: "Uncle, I want to play basketball in the United States..."
Jordan had left the court and sat on his Maybach. He lowered the sound of the TV with the car and called: "David, that little guy said he was going to participate in the draft. It's time for you to act. Believe in my eyes..."
