On April 1, the Associated Press selected Naa's annual award was released today. Wu Huang of the University of Southern California overwhelmed Blake Griffin as the best player of the year, and the honor of the best coach of the year was Floyd, who brought the Trojans to the United States. The two masters and apprentices won the two annual awards together.
Wu Huang has become the best college player now. He has scored 194 three-pointers this season, almost alone to bring the Trojans to the final quarter of the championship. He has also received 60 votes from 65 national media votes, while Blake Griffin won the remaining 5 votes.
Since the beginning of this season, Wu Huang has been very strong, especially his first triple-double performance in his first regular season game, which shocked the whole of the United States. Now, he has broken several long-standing records of Naa, and he is still challenging the "single-season triple-double record" and "single-season 200+ three-point record".
Emperor Wu specially rushed with his teammates for 4 hours to attend the award ceremony that day. "I can achieve what I am now because they have always been by my side. They are like my family." Emperor Wu said after winning the award.
Trojans coach Floyd also received 49 votes of 65 votes. Like his disciples, he overwhelmed other competitors in winning votes and won the American College Coach of the Year.
It is no surprise that Floyd won the award. After losing the team's top scorer and absolute core OJ this season, the Trojans were only considered a strong regional team before the start of the season. However, after the regular season started, they won the game, first the Pacific Tenth League unbeaten, then the district championship, and now the semi-finals in the national quarterfinals, and the University of Southern California finally won the first recognized number one in the United States since 1990.
Although he is a coach who has benefited from the core of his team, since he is the best coach, it ultimately depends on the team's record. No one can compete with him on the same stage as this.
This is also the first time Floyd won the coach of the year in his seventeen-year college coaching career. After receiving the award, he joked: "I won the coach of the Pacific 10th League, but I didn't finally get the award until my 17th year of coaching the college team. I hope I won't wait for another 17 years next time."
The honors Wu Huang received are far more than these. In addition to the awards given by the Associated Press, there is also the more heavy-weight annual Smith Best College Player Award, which is the highest level honor for Naa players.
On April 2, ESPN reported that UC player Wu Huang won the Ng Smith Best College Player Award this season. He is also the second freshman in history to win the award after Kevin Durant in 2007 and the first Chinese winner.
Wu Huang is also the first player in the history of the University of Southern California to win the Naismith Award. He has won the Oscar Robertson Award and the John Wooden Award. Yesterday, he was selected as Player of the Year by the Associated Press. It can be said that this Chinese-American has won the cramps in his hand. He has almost won all the awards that a Naa player can win this year. This season, others have not even received some soup.
The official announcement of competing with Emperor Wu for the Naismith Awards is Blake Griffin from Ohio State, James Harden from the University of Arizona, and Ty Lawson from the University of North Carolina.
The chairman of the jury said: "These four players who ran for the Naismith Award have played convincing games this season, and Hugo's performance naturally conquered the judges. Congratulations to Hugo, and to the University of Southern California, and all the four players who participated in the selection. They are ambassadors of this great sport and we wish them good luck on the road to basketball in the future."
Wu Huang's basketball prospects have long been optimistic, especially after the elite eight, he has completely become the biggest favorite in the NBA draft No. 1 pick this year. This talented defender is considered to be the combination of Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, and is the once-in-a-ten-year core team building. His upper limit is immeasurable.
Floyd commented on his first Naismith Award-winning disciple, saying, "I am proud of Hugo. He is the real star who can attract everyone's attention as soon as he goes on the court. He is the best player in the university. He also contributes to his teammates. He leads the entire system and always says to me, 'How do you want me to play and how to drive the whole team.' He is the kind of player who aims as the ultimate goal. Now that he can get the award, I can't be happier."

"Where do you want to go?" Brandon Moretz asked with a smile in Wu Huang's apartment.
Emperor Wu handed him a cup of coffee and said carelessly: "Can I still choose myself?"
"It was not possible, but now it can. If you win the championship next time, it would be even more of a problem." Brandon Moretz saw Wu Huang's magical performance on the spot that day. Now his status is very close to LeBron James, who is not inferior to Kevin Durant two years ago, and he is naturally qualified to choose a team.
Wu Huang received the Nai Smith Award yesterday. He just returned to his apartment in Los Angeles at noon today. He will go to Detroit with the team tomorrow morning, and the game will be 9 o'clock tomorrow night. There is only one game on this day, which is their semi-final match with the University of Memphis.
"I dare say that James definitely didn't want to choose the Cavaliers at the beginning, so I shouldn't have much choice, but if you ask, where do you think I should go?" Wu Huang knew that even if he won the championship and broke a few more records, he would still have to abide by the new rules of the game after going to the NBA.
"You misunderstood what I mean. In the draft, you naturally have no choice but to make decisions, but before the draft, we can do a lot of behind the scenes." Brandon Moretz explained to him, "Actually, the current situation is not as complicated as the media exaggerates. Based on the current NBA team record, only three teams may get the top three draft picks. I estimate that the Clippers have about 40% chance, while the Grizzlies and the Knicks each account for 30%."
"I understand, that means my boss is either the Clippers or the Knicks?" Wu Huang knew that the Grizzlies would not choose the outside, so the only two teams that really chose him, and they happen to be the first and second largest metropolis in the United States.
"That's right, the Clippers and the Knicks are now the last and second in the league. The Grizzlies are the third-year-old. In this form, the chances of other teams choosing you are negligible." Brandon Moretz said this and couldn't help laughing: "So. I think your luck is much better than James back then. That year, Cleveland and Detroit were the first pick and the second pick. Neither of these two cities are considered metropolises. Otherwise, with the ability shown by James, his current money-making ability will increase at least 50%.
"You are a professional who studies economics and finance. You value it differently from me. What I care more about is whether the team has the ability and courage to spend a lot of money. And even in Memphis, my ability to make money is definitely more than 50% stronger than that gorilla." Wu Huang joked, but when it comes to money, he suddenly remembered his sneaker contract and asked, "They should also offer a new offer, right?"
Brandon Moretz smiled and said, "You are smart! That's right, I'm here to see you this time to tell you about this. Nike raised the offer to 70 million in 6 years yesterday morning, and Adidas also raised the offer to 80 million in 6 years yesterday afternoon. These two companies were just as agreed in advance. They came one morning and one afternoon, and even the chips they added were exactly the same."
Emperor Wu shook his head: "Where is that UA? They have always spared no expense. I have flew around the past two days and won so many awards. Do they have any indication?"
"Not only has it, it also scared me!" Brandon Moretz put down a folder. "These are the conditions they are preparing to offer for you. If you have time, you will see it. Let me briefly talk about it. This time they directly issued a 7-year, $100 million contract. If we agree, you will get a rookie sneaker contract that surpasses LeBron James, which means you have broken a new record."
Brandon Moretz has never seen money. He is also a rich second-generation with a family business, but this time he was really shocked by UA's big move. This time he re-reached this emerging sports brand. UA really took the lead for Wu Huang. This is definitely a shocking bet!
"100 million US dollars? Hehe, they really dare to bet, so why don't I dare to accompany you!" Emperor Wu was also shocked by such a big move. This time he was really moved by UA's sincerity.
"Since they dare to make such a bet, let's reveal the news. If the two companies still rely on their identities and refuse to match this offer, I will simply gamble with UA." Wu Huang already knows that there is no NBA player under this company. If he agrees to this contract, he will become the first NBA player under UA. So, if this is not a big bet, what else can it be?
"In terms of contract amount, it should be the highest, but we can still ask for some sales share of sneakers. This thing is a treatment that only famous stars can have, but I think you are qualified to enjoy it now."
"Of course, there must be a share, but they have paid such a great price and will definitely set the triggering conditions for this share to be very high. Of course, we can make concessions in this regard, because I am confident that the seemingly high condition now is not actually high." Emperor Wu was full of confidence. He didn't feel that he was not worthy of such a quotation.
When the two talked about this, they actually tended to choose UA. The sincerity and courage of this sports brand are indeed very high. They want to replicate the myth created by Nike and Jordan back then.
It was in 1985. Michael Jordan was signed by Nike, a sports goods manufacturer at the time, with a high-paying contract. Nike immediately launched the first sneaker named after Jordan for Jordan, the first of the Air Jordan series. Since then, a generation of basketball gods and a global sports giant were both born.
UA is now trying to copy Nike's miracle, and their starting point is higher than Nike. At least UA is already one of the five major sports brands in the United States. All they lack is a further opportunity, and Wu Huang is the key recognized by UA.
"By the way, my little girl has annoyed me all day long. She just called me to take her to the semi-finals. This time I got four tickets, and the remaining tickets will depend on you." Brandon Moretz took out four tickets from his pocket and considered the contract agreements of the large number of UA companies he brought. Wu Huang could also think of where these four tickets with good positions came from with his toes.
The broker contract signed by Wu Huang and Brandon Moretz is a 4% salary share, and 8% endorsement and advertising share. That is, Wu Huang's salary in the NBA will be 4% in the future. The share of advertising and endorsement is relatively high, and he will be 8% in this regard.
This share ratio is a relatively normal standard in the industry. Big-name agents usually have higher proportions, while smaller agents are fewer. Considering his relationship with Brandon Moretz, this share is relatively reasonable.
"That's great. The little girl has harassed me just now. I will solve her ticket, otherwise the girl will go crazy, but I will call me in the middle of the night." Wu Huang complained about Kolo Moretz. Of course, he knew that the agents would have some gray income, but he would not ask about this, but he couldn't help but think of Kolo Moretz.
Since the team entered the knockout stage, he has gone to bed early at night and rarely chatted with girls more. It seems that he has ignored that little girl for several days. Should he tease her tonight? By the way, Emma Roberts, who is now 80% playing games.
