After the celebration came to an end, it was time for both parties to shake hands.
Danny Green shook hands with Lian Dao very reluctantly.
"Looking forward to playing against you again in the NBA!"
Lian Dao looked at Danny Green with a smile and said.
They are opponents on the court and friends off the court. Talking trash on the court is also a way for Lian Dao to defeat his opponents, but he will not speak harshly to each other off the court!
Danny Green was also stunned by Lian Dao's words. He really didn't expect that Lian Dao off the court would be completely different from Lian Dao on the court!
"Same, but you have to be careful next time."
The two held hands and bumped shoulders, then laughed at each other!
Lian Dao respects Danny Green as an opponent very much.
After that, they will all enter the NBA and have a new round of competition in the NBA.
After the handshake ceremony was over, the staff moved the ladder.
Their next stage is: the championship net-cutting stage!
The winning team in the NCAA Finals can cut off the net as a souvenir!
Each of them would go up and cut out a part!
The first one to go up was Lian Dao who was pushed out by Youhui.
Lian Dao was assigned to be the first to go up and cut the net!
Lian Dao sat on the ladder, cut it, and then made a pose facing the camera.
Finish!
Then the team members stepped forward one after another to finish cutting the net!
The championship award ceremony will be arranged on site, and they will also have to go back to the locker room to change into NCAA championship T-shirts.
When they changed their clothes and came back to the arena, a awards ceremony podium had been set up in the middle of the arena!
The NCAA championship trophy is already placed in the middle of the table.
Every team member focused on the trophy in the middle.
Everyone wants to step forward and touch the trophy that symbolizes college basketball’s highest honor!
They were led to the podium, and in front of them were reporters from the media, who formed a semicircle in front of them.
Tim stood in the middle, with Demar and Lian Dao on both sides of him.
Behind them were Southern California fans who had just rushed onto the field.
When the host announced the winner, ribbons sprayed out from the sky, and the fans in Southern California also reveled wildly!
After Tim got the trophy, he handed it to Lian Dao. After Lian Dao touched him excitedly, he handed him to Demar. After that, all the players excitedly touched and kissed the hard-won championship trophy.
.
Watching their kiss, Lian Dao was very happy that he was the first one besides Tim to touch the trophy.
The USC players were jumping up and down excitedly on the stage while holding the trophy.
They finally got it!
Next came the interview with the team. The first person they interviewed was the head coach: Tim.
At this time, Tim was also full of excitement. He was under the greatest pressure this season. The school management had already issued a big notice. If he could not lead USC back to the top 8, he would be fired.
The pressure of the entire season was in his heart, and winning the championship at this moment also released him, and tears could not help but flow from his eyes.
At this time, Tim also couldn't control his emotions.
"I am extremely honored to coach this great team!"
"At the beginning of the season, I never thought I would go that far. It was them who gave me hope, and it was they who created the history of the University of Southern California."
Tim said, turning to look at all the players.
"Children, when everyone underestimated us, it was you who proved your strength to everyone. You are far better than we imagined!"
It was also the first time for the players to see such a head coach. Although Tim did not give a harsh impression, his strictness was imprinted on the hearts of all the players.
So looking at Tim now, the team members also cheered and smiled.
"Sickle proved to everyone that his offensive and defensive performance is incomprehensible, but he is also the brains of Southern California. Today's "elevator door" tactic was proposed by Sickle. At the same time, he is also the key man of the University of Southern California!"
Tim believes that the most right thing to do this season is to extend an olive branch to Lian Dao!
After Tim's speech ended, the host then interviewed Lian Dao and other members.
When asked who is the most valuable member of the NCAA, all teammates pointed to Lian Dao tacitly.
After the interview is over, the selection of MOP is over.
The selection criteria for MOP are based on players' performance since the NCAA Final Four.
The most outstanding player in these two games belongs to Lian Dao. In the last game, Lian Dao created the first quadruple-double in the NCAA tournament. The score in this game also created the highest score for a single player in the NCAA Finals in the past 20 years.
Lian Dao contributed a triple-double with 54 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 blocks, and his number of three-pointers made in a single season expanded to 193.
The statistics of the two games are:
Lian Dao: Averaged 45 points, 15 assists, 7 blocks, 11 rebounds, 2.5 steals per game! Shooting percentage was 58%, three-point shooting percentage was 68.3%.
DeMar: Averaged 20.5 points, 5.5 assists, 2 blocks, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals per game, shooting 52.3% from the field and 21.1% from three-point range.
Lian Dao's data is really outstanding. As some commentators said, Lian Dao is a dimensionality reduction attack in the NCAA, and he should belong to the NBA.
The NCAA president took the stage at this time and announced the final results.
"Sickle, Lian Dao!"
In fact, even if he doesn't announce it, everyone knows that the Mop must belong to Lian Dao. The main reason is that Lian Dao not only performed well in the games after the semi-finals, but Lian Dao has been transformed since he entered "March Madness".
Just went up a level!
But when the answer was announced, all the fans and teammates gave strong cheers for Lian Dao.
Teammates are never jealous that Lian Dao will get the MOP. There may be jealousy between two people if their strength is not much different, but when there is a huge difference in strength between two people, they will have admiration!
They also know that the biggest contributor to the team this season is Lian Dao.
Although Lian Dao was already prepared to know that he would be the MOP, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited after hearing it!
The reporter congratulated Lian Dao and then handed him the microphone to give his acceptance speech.
"First of all, I'm very excited that I can win the MOP. Secondly, I want to thank head coach Tim, who gave me the opportunity to stand here. He is the best coach in the league. I want to thank my teammates, we are a whole,
A perfect team, everyone is an indispensable part.
I want to thank my parents, who supported my choice and gave me confidence. Finally, I want to thank all the USC fans. It is you who give us endless motivation. Without you, we would not be able to win.
we are the champion!!"
Well, a very standard speech of thanks!
After Lian Dao finished speaking, all the Southern California fans cheered loudly.
After Lian Dao gave his acceptance speech, the reporter asked another question that everyone was concerned about.
"Will you enter this year's NBA draft?"
"Yes, I will, I will bring my talents to the NBA!"
Hearing this, some team managers called him one after another.
They are getting ready for the draft!
And the head coaches of some NCAA teams also breathed a sigh of relief: they finally sent this plague away.
After Lian Dao answered some interviews, the last link was left.
Champion OEM!
The staff came up with a lineup for the quarterfinals.
Eight into four, four into two, two into one, champion
Two into one are the University of Southern California and the University of North Carolina
The vacant area at the top of the championship position is the branding area.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Tim pressed the University of Southern California's Velcro to the top.
