With ribbons flying down like snowflakes and fans cheering all over the sky, Texas Longhorns teammates hugged each other in the center circle to celebrate!
During the 'March Madness' period, players' daily life is either training or high-intensity games. In addition, they also have to face the criticism from the outside world and the media.
Both physically and mentally are under tremendous pressure.
At this moment, all the players vented this pressure by screaming and roaring!
Halfway through the celebration, Durant suddenly realized something was wrong.
Huh?
Where has Chen Yan gone?
Turning around, Durant suddenly let out a "fuck"!
It turns out that Chen Yan went to celebrate with the girls on the cheerleading team!
The big screen at the scene also pointed the camera at Chen Yan, and he and the girls laughed happily...
Chen Yan said that he played so many games in a row and played the C, what happened to enjoying it?
But after all the fun and the fuss, Chen Yan quickly walked up to head coach Rick Barnes.
"Coach Rick, thank you very much for your trust in me during this time!"
Rick Barnes gave Chen Yan a chance during March Madness, gave him the right to fire, and gave him absolute freedom in tactics!
You must know that Chen Yan was only a marginal player on the bench before March Madness came. Not every coach has such courage.
"No, Chen, I want to thank you." Rick Barnes replied with a smile.
He gave Chen Yan enough trust, and Chen Yan rewarded him with his performance in leading the team to win the championship.
To a certain extent, the two of them can be regarded as mutually successful.
Then the two gave a big hug in front of all the broadcast cameras.
The master and apprentice embraced each other after winning the championship. This was a scene that moved countless fans!
Later, Texas Longhorns players cut off the net.
This is an old tradition after the NCAA championship.
In 1947, legendary American high school and college coach Everett Keys served as the coach of North Carolina, a famous basketball school, and led North Carolina to win the Southern Conference Championship in his first season.
To celebrate the victory, he cut off the net with his own hands.
Since then, this behavior has become a custom in the NCAA and has been preserved to this day.
The Texas players were very playful, and the newly cut net was immediately hung around Chen Yan's neck.
Seeing this scene, Oden and Conley shook their heads bitterly. This was a scene they had imagined.
"Have a good sleep and prepare for the next new journey!"
In the tunnel, Ohio State head coach Ted Mata patted Oden and Conley on the head.
Oden and Conley nodded. They had already announced that they would participate in this year's NBA draft. Although the end of their college careers was not perfect, people always have to look forward.
Outside the stadium, the celebration of Texas fans was far crazier than imagined!
When the Texas Longhorns won the first NCAA championship in team history, all the students were excited!
They all rushed out of the dormitory and gathered in the square in front of the gymnasium. The police officer was instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.
This group of people did not just cheer and celebrate, they smashed the glass, walls, and even trash cans on Friday!
The government has been well prepared for tonight and has deployed police forces at various points in advance.
But they obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of Texas fans. Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, the police department could only temporarily deploy additional police forces to maintain order on the scene.
However, the Ohio State University fans on the other side also smashed things, but the mood of the two sides was a little different.
...
...
Inside the stadium, the University of Texas players have changed into championship short-sleeves and hats with the team's logo on them.
The award ceremony has begun!
The on-site host continued to introduce Texas' path to advance to this year's March Madness. When he mentioned that the University of Texas defeated Ohio State 91-69 tonight and won the first NCAA championship trophy in team history.
, the atmosphere reached its peak!
Then a small cart slowly rolled out the championship trophy.
The Texas players are all gearing up and can't wait to raise the cup.
"Longhorn Championship!!!"
"Longhorn Championship!"
As the fans at the scene cheered, Chen Yan and Durant stood in the center of the team, and at the same time raised the championship trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor of the NCAA!
"Kakakakakaka!"
The flashbulbs flashed wildly, recording this historic moment for the Texas Longhorns!
Every Texas player in the photo is smiling brightly. Although most of them have no chance to enter the professional league, they still enjoy this moment.
Perhaps one day a long time later, they will take out their cherished championship photos and mention to their children that they were once a member of the NCAA championship team!
I once played alongside players like Chen Yan and Durant!
After the overall championship awards are completed, the next step is to announce the winner of the MOP.
Although Durant also performed well tonight, scoring 22 points, sweeping away the gloom of the previous game, Chen Yan winning the MOP was seen as a no-brainer to the outside world.
His teammates also pushed Chen Yan out in advance.
Okay, brother, stop pretending to be reserved, hurry up and get your honor and accept the cheers from the fans~
"mop!"
"mop!"
"mop!"
In the uniform cheers of the fans, Chen Yan raised his MOP trophy, and the road to legend began!
"Let us congratulate Chen Yan for winning this year's NCAA Championship MOP!"
"What does the so-called MOP mean? It is the most valuable player in the semi-finals. It is usually awarded to the winning team. It feels a bit like FMVP in the NBA~"
In the cctv5 studio, two commentators congratulated Chen Yan and explained the meaning of mop.
This popular science is necessary, after all, many domestic fans are watching the NCAA for the first time in front of the TV.
After winning the mop, the host naturally handed the microphone to Chen Yan and asked him to give his acceptance speech.
In fact, this kind of speech is nothing more than thanking parents, thanking school, thanking coaches, thanking teammates, thanking fans...
After Chen Yan gave a brief speech of three minutes, the host continued to ask questions:
"Let me ask a question that everyone is concerned about. Will you participate in this year's NBA draft?"
Although the predicted number in the draft has been rising, Chen Yan has never stated in public that he will participate in this year's NBA.
There is no other reason, I just want to finish the NCAA with peace of mind and don't want to be disturbed by off-court factors prematurely.
But now he no longer had such worries. Chen Yan took the microphone:
"I will participate in this year's draft and bring my talent to the NBA!"
"One-more-year (fight one more year)!"
"One-more-year (fight one more year)!"
"One-more-year (fight one more year)!"
As soon as Chen Yan finished speaking, the Texas fans collectively quit!
They all shouted in unison to let Chen Yan play for another year!
Fans said they could not accept life without Chen Yan!
But how is that possible?
After tonight, Chen Yan is basically firmly in the top three in the draft predictions, and it doesn't make much sense to play for another year.
And the NCAA can't provide much help to his growth. What he needs now is a higher stage and more honor points!
"I'm going to miss you all!"
Chen Yan waved to the Texas fan section and blew his own kiss.
His meaning has been very clear, and most fans understand it, and said that no matter which NBA team Chen Yan is the pride of the Texas Longhorns, he will continue to support him as always!
Chen Yan's college career also comes to an end at this moment. Next, he will enter the NBA and start a new chapter in his life!
