Chapter 56 Generous Rewards
Next, it’s time to announce the MOP of the semi-finals.

"I think this MOP is the most unpredictable one in recent years. Congratulations, Lin Yu!"

The host said as he handed the semi-final MOP trophy to Lin Yu.

He scored 50 points in a single game and led the team to a reversal against the Huskies.

Even just this one game was enough to make Lin Yu the MOP, not to mention that Lin Yu had other outstanding performances.

After the award ceremony, the next step is naturally to cut the nets.

As the MOP of the semi-finals, Lin Yu was the first to go up and cut off the net.

After Lin Yu finished cutting the basketball net, Yao Ming, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward and gave Lin Yu a hug.

"That was a great fight, Dayu!"

"Brother Yao, thank you for coming to cheer me on today!"

While the two were talking, Coach Zhang also arrived with the cameraman.

"I know today is your big day, so I won't disturb you from celebrating with your teammates. If you have nowhere to go during the offseason, you can come to Houston to find me."

Lin Yu didn't say anything, just nodded.

There are still two months until the draft, and even after the draft, it will take until the end of October before the regular season can begin.

With about five months of free time, he had to plan something for himself, even if it was just training.

After Yao Ming left, Coach Zhang also came forward to interview Lin Yu.

"Dayu, first of all, congratulations on winning the NCAA Championship and the MOP in the semi-finals. You are the first Chinese athlete to receive these two honors. Do you have anything to say now?"

"I am very happy to receive these two honors. This is a perfect farewell for me and the NCAA."

"Dayu, you are going to participate in the draft next. So, Dayu, do you have a favorite team or a city you want to go to?"

“I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Lin Yu really hadn't thought it through, even though the Cardinal had always wanted him to go to the Celtics.

But Lin Yu really doesn't like the city of Boston.

Coach Zhang did not interview Lin Yu for too long, because Lin Yu had to return to the locker room to continue celebrating the victory with his teammates!

Lin Yu had a very pleasant night on his championship night.

Although we won the NCAA championship, there was no locker room battle like in the NBA championship.

There is no such thing as the team giving you millions of dollars to go to Las Vegas after winning the championship.

But there are still some happy nightclubs.

But after all, it's just college basketball, so it's impossible to order champagne worth thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a bottle to celebrate.

The next day, when Lin Yu woke up, he was already lying on the big bed in the hotel.

Looking at the MOP trophy of the semi-finals on the bedside, a smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

Next he will prepare to upgrade.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Winning the NCAA Championship! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Obtained the NCAA Championships semi-final MOP! ]

There are so many rewards to choose from for these two achievements.

Lin Yu can now choose from rewards from superstars in NBA history such as 'God of Basketball' Michael Jordan, 'Magician' Ervin Johnson, 'Skyhook' Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and 'The Dream' Olajuwon!

Lin Yu has already thought about how to choose the rewards.

His previous idea was that Durant + Garnett would be his future development direction.

But the NCAA finals made him feel the flaws of this style of play.

Singles is indeed a necessary skill for being the core of a team.

But even when Michael Jordan won the championship, it wasn't just by singles.

He also needs the team's tactical system.

An organizing forward!
Durant + Garnett + Magic Johnson, this is Lin Yu’s goal.

And if there really is a player who combines all three qualities into one, then Larry Bird is the reduced version.

In his prime, Bird averaged 29.9 points per game, was selected as the second-best defense, and had excellent organizational skills.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Erwin Johnson's organizational talent! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading your organization to 98 points! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for increasing your ball control to 92 points! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for increasing your pass to 95 points! ]

After choosing the magician's reward, Lin Yu directly chose Boss Qiao's reward.

Just as Lin Yu thought, Boss Qiao’s mid-range shooting talent is indeed 99 points.

The improvement from 98 to 99 was not very helpful to Lin Yu, so he finally chose to give up the mid-range shooting talent of the boss Joe. [Ding! Congratulations to Speed ​​for obtaining Michael Jordan's skill of fadeaway jump shot! ]

[Fade-away jump shot: Reduces 50% of shot interference when shooting, extends air time by 30%, and increases shooting stability by 30%. 】

……

Lin Yu was in a good mood. When he went downstairs to have breakfast, he also saw today's newspaper.

As expected, all the news was about Lin Yu and the Cowboys.

Los Angeles Times: The match of the century! Lin Yu scored 50 points and led his team to defeat the Huskies!
ESPN: The showdown between the three top draft picks has come to an end! There is no doubt who will be the strongest top draft pick!

Sports Illustrated: A historic buzzer beater! Lin Yu leads the team to create an undefeated championship record!

The headlines of the newspapers were more exaggerated than the last. The Los Angeles Times even used Lin Yu's buzzer-beater against Okafor as its cover.

Lin Yu really wanted to know what Okafor thought when he saw this newspaper.

After breakfast, Old Kenny and the Cowboys players boarded a plane to Jingshui City.

The local TV station in Jingshui City also interviewed the Cowboys.

The moment the plane landed, the beautiful host at the airport began to raise her voice.

"Dear viewers, there are already tens of thousands of fans at Jingshui Airport, and the Cowboys' plane has landed."

"It was old coach Kenny. He was the first to come out holding the championship trophy, and then Lin Yu."

"The cheering is so loud, all I can hear now is the cheering!"

It should have taken Lin Yu and others less than an hour to get from the airport to the University of Oklahoma, but it took them four hours.

The streets were crowded with people, and everyone was cheering for Lin Yu and others!

Although there is no championship parade for the NCAA championship, Lin Yu can guarantee that even the NBA championship parade is no more than this!

Back at Gallagher-Eibar Arena, Kenny Sr. placed the NCAA championship trophy in the back of the display room.

Reluctantly, he said to everyone: "This season is over, boys, you can have a holiday now!"

"Lin Yu and Tony, stay alone for a while. I have something to tell you."

Everyone also knows that Lin Yu and Tony are both players who will participate in this year's draft. They were kept by old Kenny because he must have something to explain.

After Joey, Lucas and others hugged Lin Yu and Tony goodbye, they left the stadium first, while Lin Yu and Tony were taken to the head coach's office by old Kenny.
