After Sun Yi delivered his acceptance speech, the award ceremony moved to the last part: the championship net-cutting ceremony!
As the MOP, Sun Yi had the privilege of being the first to go up and cut the net, but he gave it to Curry.
After some humility, the elementary school students climbed up the ladder and cut a section of the net.
After Curry finished cutting, Sun Yi climbed up the ladder for the second time and cut off his own section of the net.
Afterwards, the Wildcats players finished their cuts one after another.
At this point, the finals award ceremony is over.
After everything settled, Sun Yi came to the sidelines and accepted interviews from domestic media reporters.
"Sun Yi, congratulations on winning the championship. You have become the first Chinese player to win a national championship in the NCAA. It is amazing." Su Qun praised with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Teacher Su." Sun Yi replied politely.
After some polite greetings, let’s get to the topic.
"When you made the final kill, were you feeling stressed? Have you thought about the consequences of missing the shot?" Su Qun asked.
"There is definitely pressure. As for the consequences of not making the shot, I didn't think about it at the time. I only had one belief in my heart. Since my teammates and coaches trust me, then I must live up to their trust and make that shot!" Sun Yi said truthfully. replied.
"You just announced your participation in the 2009 draft. What are your expectations after entering the NBA?" Su Qun asked again.
"I will train harder and work harder to gain a foothold in the NBA, because there are a group of very talented players there and I don't want to be eliminated." Sun Yi replied.
"Last question, I heard that your family is rich, why do you still work so hard to play basketball?"
"Maybe it's because I love basketball so much, otherwise I can't explain it," Sun Yi joked.
"Sun Yi, thank you for your cooperation. The interview is over."
After Su Qun finished speaking, she said hello to Sun Yi and left quickly with her team.
After the interview, Sun Yi walked towards the players tunnel with a happy mood.
At the entrance of the players' tunnel, Dayao, Arab League and Sun Yue waited here for a long time.
After Dayao introduced each other, Sun Yi exchanged numbers with Ah Lian and Sun Yue, and they became acquainted.
"Xiaoyi, we won't interrupt you to celebrate with your teammates. Let's get together later when we have time."
"Okay, Brother Yao."
After bidding farewell to Dayao and the others, Sun Yi walked into the player tunnel and was stopped again unexpectedly.
A middle-aged man in a suit came to Sun Yi with a smile and took the lead in introducing himself.
"Hello Sun, I am Jeff Schwartz, the agent of Excellent Sports Management Co., Ltd."
"Hello, Mr. Schwartz, nice to meet you." Sun Yi replied politely.
"You have previously announced your participation in this year's draft, so you definitely need an agent to handle these trivial matters. You can consider our company. It is absolutely worth the money." Schwartz explained his intention.
"Okay, Mr. Schwartz, if I want to find a broker, your company will be my priority."
Sun Yi expected that his announcement of candidacy would definitely attract a large number of agents, but he did not expect that it would come so quickly.
Schwartz didn't stay long, handed a business card to Sun Yi, and then left.
Sun Yi looked at the content on the business card and smiled.
As an NBA encyclopedia, he still knows something about the big-name agents in the league.
Schwartz is also one of the best among these big-name agents.
"Schwartz? Seems pretty good."
Sun Yi hummed a little tune and continued walking towards the locker room.
After returning to the locker room, Sun Yi joined the crazy celebration team.
The Wildcats players each lit a victory cigar, and champagne was poured into the air.
Before long, the locker room was in disarray and the Wildcat players stopped.
Head coach McClop clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's all take a shower and wash up. We'll go back to the hotel in a while."
The Wildcats players were still not satisfied. They came to their lockers one after another, found a change of clothes, and went to wash up and shower.
Sun Yi knew that his group of guys didn't have enough fun.
But there is nothing that can be done. It’s just that they are all college students and have not reached the age to go to nightclubs to drink.
"Hey! You can only enjoy the nightclub if you are of legal age."
Sun Yi sighed, found a change of clothes, and followed his teammates to the shower room to take a shower.
After washing up, the Wildcats players got ready and left the locker room under the leadership of head coach McClop.
Curry did not leave with the team. After explaining the situation to McClop, he went to spend time with his family and girlfriend.
Returning to the hotel where he stayed, Sun Yi said goodbye to his teammates and returned to his room.
After changing into pajamas, Sun Yi lay lazily on the bed, opened the system panel, and received the reward.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission (2), and the diamond gift package will be awarded to the host. Please collect it in time!"
"Ding! The next stage of the main task: landing in the NBA."
"Task requirement: Join an NBA team as a lottery pick."
"Task reward: golden gift package."
After a series of system voice messages ended, Sun Yi immediately received and opened the reward.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining reinforced iron bones (diamond), knee pads (white) +1, advanced nutrient solution +100, 10x training bonus card +3, 100,000 training points, and non-attribute bonus points +5."
【Reinforced iron frame】
Grade: Diamond
Effect: Spending a certain number of training points can make you immune to all injuries, and can subtly and gradually increase the host's endurance attribute until it reaches the maximum value.
[White Knee Pads]: Permanently improves Payton's bounce attribute by 1 point.
After reading the reward, Sun Yi felt happy.
Even if the reward is only the diamond badge, he is very satisfied.
This badge is simply a plug-in that can protect him from injuries.
For athletes, injuries are the scariest thing, and often a major injury can ruin an entire career.
Now that Sun Yi has the [Steel and Iron Bone] badge, he doesn't have to worry about something like this happening to him and can play with peace of mind.
Although I don’t know how many training points it takes to become immune to an injury, it must be related to the severity of the injury.
Although Sun Yi has the ability to be immune to injuries, he will not seek death and waste training points.
After checking the rewarded items, Sun Yi opened the attribute panel to add points.
This time he added all 5 points-adding opportunities to the strength attribute.
"This way I should be able to quickly adapt to NBA competition."
After adding points, Sun Yi checked his personal attributes.
Personal attributes:
Technical attributes; ball control: 63, passing: 61
Offensive attributes; three-pointers: 46, mid-range shots: 80, layups: 63, free throws: 88
Defensive attributes; rebounds: 60, steals: 64, blocks: 48, lateral speed: 75
Physical attributes; Speed: 80, Stamina: 73, Jump: 72+1, Strength: 76+1
During March Madness, Sun Yi did not give up his usual training and improved some attributes by 1 to 3 points through training.
After finishing his work, Sun Yi closed the attribute panel, entered the virtual dreamland, and spent a certain number of training points on special training.
