Chapter 93 I will not participate in the draft (seven thousand

Lu Qiujian was once again lifted up and threw it into the air. In the final, he scored another super triple-double with 32 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. Coach Thompson slapped his cheek hard, and he couldn't believe it was true. ↑

The representatives of Princeton who were watching the football in the front row were no longer as reserved as before. A former presidential candidate and a principal of a famous school hugged each other and shouted.

Yao Ming stood beside him with a complicated expression and applauded, not sure whether he was envious of Lu Qiujian's championship or something; the Chinese reporter in the press table was even more crazy and desperately called and emailed, wanting to send the news back to China earlier. This is the biggest breakthrough of Chinese in the American basketball world! If he could join the national team, plus the three Great Walls in the inside, the Chinese men's basketball team would definitely win a medal at the Athens Olympics in Greece next year!

In the audience, the managers and head coaches of the teams in front of the TV were also thinking about what measures to take to include him in their teams; and agents like Long Baby were even prepared to pursue and intercept Lu Qiujian.

"Okay, gentlemen, the award ceremony is about to begin! Wouldn't you go and clean up?" In the end, it was Coach Thompson who woke up first, rushed them into the locker room one by one, and after washing up, put on the championship coat that had been prepared long ago.

Dwyane Wade was disappointed to lead the team to take over the runner-up trophy. When he stepped down, he passed by Lu Qiujian and said, "Congratulations, I hope you can also perform well in the NBA in the new season."

"I'm afraid you won't meet me in the NBA field in the new season!" Lu Qiujian shook his head and said with a smile. This time he finally found an opportunity to speak out?

Hum? When Wade wanted to ask again, the host had already started to invite the Princeton Tigers to take the stage to receive the prize. Patrice took the lead and made the most contribution this season besides Lu Qiujian. He used his outstanding body to erect an iron gate in the Princeton Tigers' inside line, making his opponent's offense come back countless times. Due to such outstanding performance, he also attracted the attention of some NBA teams.

Then there were Spencer, Gardson, Will, and Ray and other main players. Finally, Lu Qiujian took the podium with warm applause from the fans of the audience and held the trophy high with his teammates!

"The final champion of NCAA this season is the Princeton Tigers!" With the host shouting, the New Orleans Super Gymnasium, the Princeton campus, various universities in China, Internet cafes in every corner of the city... and other places simultaneously cheered and celebrated. At this moment, Lu Qiu became the biggest hero in their hearts.

Afterwards, the organizing committee also awarded individual awards. Lu Qiujian won the Teng P (the most outstanding player award in the semi-finals), and won the awards of the scoring and assisting king, and also entered the best team with Wade, Anthony and others.

After the award ceremony, Lu Qiujian could not rest. Coach Thompson brought him and Patrice to the press conference. He first praised Marquette Golden Eagle and the head coach, praised Wade's performance, and then it was time for the reporters to ask questions freely.

"Lu Qiujian, are you ready for the draft now? I heard that the head coaches of many teams such as the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and the New York Knicks have expressed strong interest in you. Which team do you prefer to join? And now the draft website lists you and LeBron James as the biggest favorites in the No. 1 pick at the same time. Do you have the confidence to defeat James and get the No. 1 pick?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiao, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately stood up and asked several questions in succession like a machine gun.

"Your lung capacity is really sufficient!" Lu Qiujian teased first before saying seriously, "I'm sorry, I don't plan to participate in the talent show, so all your questions are in vain!"

"What!", "Why?", because he answered in English, almost all the reporters present understood his words and immediately got an uproar. Coach Thompson, Patrice, Wade and others also looked at him with surprise.

"Did you decide to wait until next year to participate in the draft because you are afraid of not being able to compete with LeBron James?" A reporter from the Los Angeles Times stood up and asked.

"I think I've made it very clear just now!" Lu Qiujian said word by word, "What I said is that I don't plan to participate in the draft instead of not going to participate in the draft this year. I won't not this year, nor next year. I will still not participate in the draft in the future. I don't plan to enter the NBA to play! Do you understand?"

"Why? What made you make this decision?" Li Xiao was immediately disheartened. Before coming to the stage, he had been asking him to establish a good relationship with Lu Qiujian, saying that when Lu Qiujian joined the NBA backstage, he would give him a promotion and salary increase arrangement. He was stationed in the United States for a long time. Now it's all ruined!

Is the reason? Lu Qiujian remembered his dinner with Yao Ming that day. When Lu Qiujian replied jokingly, "Brother Yao, I think my academic performance is acceptable and I don't have to rely on my strength to make money anymore!" Of course, this sentence is a joke about Yao Ming's claim that he was doing physical work, so he should belong to the blue-collar class.

Later, he told Yao Ming about his plans for the future. Although he was a little regretful that he could not fight side by side with Lu Qiujian, he still expressed his understanding and blessings for Lu Qiujian's decision.

Lu Qiujian looked around the reporters, and saw that they were all calm and waiting for his answer with all his heart. He spread his hands and said, "Why do I have to play NBA? In addition to being a player of the Princeton Tigers, I am also a student in the Princeton Mathematics Department. Compared to playing basketball, I want to be a scientist! And I think I have such a little talent and are fully capable of achieving results in science!"

Li Xiao, Zhou Wei and others were in a bad mood at the same time. How could they forget this? The achievements of this guy in mathematics are also eye-catching! The American journalists present also remembered the plagiarism incident of Yale that was quarreling some time ago. Poor Yale was not only humiliated by him in academics, but also abused by him twice on the basketball court. It was really unlucky!

How come Princeton is so angry? Bill Bradley was selected by the Knicks and went to Oxford University to study for a year before returning to New York. This guy was even more straightforward and didn't plan to join the NBA at all!

After a little stunned, countless arms stood up like a wood.
