no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 62 Bringing Talent to the NBA
After the on-site celebration continued for a while, the players returned to the locker room first.

There they celebrated with champagne, and the players gave coach Sandek a head-to-toe champagne bath with a "revenge" mentality.

Of course, this should also be Sandek's happiest bath.

[NCAA champion coach], this status has greatly increased his worth, even if he thinks, he can use this as a stepping stone to the NBA.

And, of course, he totally deserves it.

Players are the most direct factor in determining the outcome of a game, but the head coach is also very important.

For fans who watch more basketball games, from NBA to U19 or even U16, the coaching of quite a few head coaches can be called a special medicine for low blood pressure.

After the champagne celebration was over, the players all put on the championship T-shirts and championship caps, and returned to the court excitedly.

At this time, an award-giving stage has been set up in the center of the stadium.

In front of the stage are the reporters, who have already set up long guns and short cannons.

In the center of the stage is a table, and in the center of the table is the championship trophy inlaid with the NCAA gold logo.

When they saw the trophy, the expressions in the eyes of the members of the Devils were not only excited, but also incredible.

This season's journey has been like a dream for them.

Harden couldn't help pinching Kuxix next to him, and he was sure it wasn't a dream until the latter grinned in pain.

"Devil team! Devil team!"

In the cheers of the fans, the members of the Devils boarded their podium.

When he got on the podium, Xu Yong was extremely excited.

In a sense, the NCAA championship is more difficult than the NBA championship.

Because the NCAA has a maximum of four years, and most talented players cannot play for four years.

To win the championship within four years, in addition to strength, you need a good opportunity.

"Let us thank the University of North Carolina, they are a great team, and they have dedicated a wonderful game to us tonight." The awards ceremony began, and NCAA Chairman Miles Brand first praised as usual the losing side.

Although at this time, both the North Carolina players and most of the fans, including Jordan, have already left the field.

"Then let us congratulate Arizona State University, which won the NCAA championship for the first time in school history, the glory belongs to them!"

When Brand finished announcing the ownership of the champion, the scene was full of streamers, amidst the cheers of the fans and the flashing spotlights, Xu Yong was pushed to the C position, next to Sandek, as a way to lift the trophy The other team members touched the trophy and yelled and shouted.

As Brand said, this is their moment of glory.

Sandek was the first to be interviewed.

"It's been a wonderful journey." Sandek used a very apt description after taking the microphone.

"When we stopped in the top 16 last season, I felt that my players had done everything they needed to do, they could go to the NBA to start a new journey, but they told me that their journey in the NCAA is not over yet, they By choosing to 'fight for another year', at last, we have drawn a successful conclusion to this unfinished journey, and I am extremely proud of coaching this group of players."

Sandek's speech caused the audience to burst into cheers.

This kind of story is staged every year in the NCAA. Even this year, I don’t know how many people have made such a choice. North Carolina, which lost the game tonight, is the most typical representative, but only those who stand on this stage in the end, their stories will be known by more people.

The reporter then interviewed Harden and DeRozan.

In their testimonials, they all mentioned Xu Yong in unison.

"He's the soul of this team."

Harden's evaluation even drew cheers from Arizona State fans.

Finally, the reporter handed the microphone to Xu Yong.

Before Xu Yong spoke, the cheers on the scene were overwhelming and lasted for a long time.

Although the final honor of the MOP has not yet been announced, there is no doubt that Xu Yong is the biggest contributor to Arizona State University's ability to win the championship.

The cheers are the best proof.

"Thank you, thank you all, as Coach Sandek said, we have gone through a wonderful journey, not only us, but also many people who support us, this is a trophy for all of us .”

Xu Yong's speech was short, but it was enough to make the fans on the scene excited.

What is a textbook-style speech with high emotional intelligence.

The host finally interviewed Ailes.

It was not until this time that everyone realized that Als' eyes were already red.

And when he picked up the microphone, he was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

Xu Yong put his hands on his shoulders and gave him an encouraging look.

"It's like a dream." After adjusting his emotions, Ayers said.

"The first two years of my college career, I struggled with a team that was at the bottom of the league, but the last two years, my team was fighting for a championship and, in the end, making it."

Ailes' words were moved from the bottom of his heart, but he inadvertently made all the fans laugh.

Because it sounds really incredible, of course, very legendary.

It belongs to the kind of fireplace story that you can repeat to your children and grandchildren when you are old and sit in front of the fireplace.

Even when laughing, fans can also empathize with Ayers, because he is the only senior on this team.

During the four years of university, there were lows and highs, and the champion won, no regrets.

After the interview with Ailes, the scene also came to the final MOP awarding session.

Before it even started, the cheers had already sounded.

Because there was no suspense, Brand announced the result directly.

"The most outstanding player in the 2008-2009 NCAA season is Xu Yong!"

Xu Yong took the trophy from Brand.

However, unlike picking up the championship trophy before, he didn't particularly care about MOP. After taking the trophy, he put it back on the table.

Of course, the acceptance speech is indispensable.

"I would like to thank my parents first, because they still don't know how much I have grown taller or how much I have gained, but they are still the most steadfast supporters of me."

Xu Yong's first words drew cheers and applause.

Only when you have truly become a professional athlete will you know how much your family needs to do this profession.

As far as Xu Yong is concerned, he has to go through such a process in his two lifetimes.

Of course, the future is bright. When he earns money in the future, he can buy a house for his parents here, so that he can spend more time with him.

"Then I would like to thank Coach Sandek, Coach Pera, all my teammates, James, DeMar, Jeff...all of them, without any of them we would not be here, and it is impossible to win To this championship, they are the most outstanding players."

The team has always been one of the things that Xu Yong cares about the most, and it is also the reason why he has completely different attitudes towards the championship trophy and the MOP trophy.

Basketball is never a one-person sport, only when you can unite your teammates can you become the winner.

Applause and cheers sounded again, and lasted for a long time.

It's hard not to like such a player, not to mention that he is still wearing the number 23 that everyone is most familiar with.

But just when everyone thought his speech was over, Xu Yong picked up the microphone again and shared a small matter with everyone.

"As early as a week ago, when we reached the final four, me, James, DeMar, and Jeff have all made a decision. We have no regrets in our college career. Now, it is time for us to bring our talents to the world. Going to the NBA!"
