Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The Final Champion, Kai Won the MOP!

United States, San Antonio, Alamodome!

The arena was already a cauldron of excitement.

After a total of forty minutes—two halves of competition—the NCAA Championship game between Duke University and Villanova University finally concluded!

"I bet no one could have guessed who would be the final champion of this year's NCAA Championship before the final result was out!"

"The eyes of the world were focused on teams with highly anticipated draft prospects like Villanova, Michigan, Arizona, and Oklahoma!"

From the TNT commentary booth at courtside, Smith and Barkley stood up and applauded. "And now, let us congratulate Duke University with the most enthusiastic cheers for winning this year's NCAA Championship!"

"They truly deserve it!"

Barkley added, "Speaking of which, we have to mention Kai of Duke University!"

"He delivered an unprecedented performance in the knockout stages of this championship, and he is also the only player in NCAA history to score 40+ points in the NCAA Finals!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that Kai is the strongest player in this NCAA Championship!"

Many players performed exceptionally well in this year's NCAA Championship.

Before the knockout rounds, Trae Young, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Deandre Ayton were always the most highly touted super rookies.

But as the tournament progressed, Trae Young and Jaren Jackson Jr. were successively eliminated by Kai's Duke University.

Deandre Ayton also fell in the semifinals.

Kai and Bagley were undoubtedly the most watched players by fans.

Duke University, with two super rookies, winning the final championship was also widely expected.

Although, before the knockout rounds began, no one was optimistic about them.

Inside the stadium, as the referee's final whistle blew, the Duke University players rushed onto the court like crazy, swarming toward the team's undisputed hero of the day!

"Kai!"

"Kai!"

Immediately after, the fans in the Alamodome stood up and shouted Kai's name in unison.

Amidst the cheers, all the Duke University players lifted Kai high!

Then lowered him!

Then lifted him again!

"Kai, we did it!"

After a brief celebration, Grayson Allen excitedly hugged Kai. "We made history! Only you and I at Duke University have won back-to-back championships!"

Earlier, after eliminating Oklahoma University, Kai told Grayson Allen: We will win everything!

Now, everything is settled!

In Duke University's history, the only two back-to-back champions are them!

"Grayson, this is just the beginning!"

Kai was also quite excited, because at the moment the game ended, the system, which had been silent in his mind for a long time, finally sounded again.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the 2018 NCAA Championship!]

[System Reward: Three-point shooting 94 increased to 100!]

A series of electronic prompts doubled the joy in Kai's heart.

"Kids, congratulations!"

Head Coach Coach K also excitedly rushed onto the court, embracing the players tightly. "But this is not the end—your story has just begun!"

"It is an honor in my coaching career to have you!"

Coach K's happiness was clearly written on his face!

The NCAA Championship is a height that many college coaches cannot reach throughout their coaching careers.

Not to mention leading the team to defend their title.

"Old man, we should go!"

Watching Duke University celebrate wildly, Kobe was the first to stand up.

But Michael Jordan, next to him, was still deep in thought.

As Jordan's good friend, Kobe knew very well that Jordan was currently planning the future of his team, the Charlotte Hornets.

Perhaps Kai was Michael Jordan's primary target in this year's draft.

A moment later, Jordan, deep in thought, seemed to have made a decision, then stood up and left with Kobe.

Jordan and Kobe's departure also prompted the rest of the NBA players at courtside to leave.

"Mr. Ballmer, what do you think?"

Before leaving, Jerry West couldn't help but ask. "Kai's skills and aura on the court are very similar to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant."

"He is our answer!"

Ever since Ballmer bought the Los Angeles Clippers, he wanted to build the Clippers into a super team.

But currently, although the team has gathered many talented players, they lack a true superstar.

This also meant that in the eyes of Los Angeles fans, the Los Angeles Lakers were the only NBA team in Los Angeles.

"Jerry, do as you think!"

Ballmer looked back at Kai in the center of the court, as if he had made up his mind!

The various bigwigs at courtside left one after another, but the scouts from various teams started to get busy.

They witnessed an astonishing individual performance, and Kai's name was prominently marked in their reports!

"Boss, I found a rookie who can lead us to rise! Yes, yes, we must trade up for a draft pick in this year's draft!"

"General Manager, Kai Chen is our ultimate answer!"

"Boss, let's pick Kai in this year's draft! He won't disappoint us!"

The scouts sent their reports to the teams' top brass while calling management to express their views.

They didn't even mention anyone else; everyone only spoke of Kai!

When he saw the championship trophy, Grayson Allen still couldn't hide his excitement and gave Kai a hard punch on the side.

"Kai, what would it be like if we won the NBA Finals together?!"

Grayson laughed and joked, "Haha, I'm just kidding."

Grayson Allen knew very well that based on Kai's performance in these few games, he had already secured a lottery pick.

As for himself, he probably only had the market value of a late first-round pick.

"There's a chance, Grayson!"

Kai patted his chest and said seriously, "In the future in the NBA, we will win the championship together!"

Soon, the NCAA officials announced the winner of the 2018 Championship!

2018 NCAA Champion — Duke University!

And:

The recipient of the 2018 Final Four Most Outstanding Player award: Kai!

From the Elite Eight game against Oklahoma University, Kai began to show his prowess.

Followed by 33 points in the semifinals against Michigan State University and 42 points in the NCAA Finals.

The MOP trophy being awarded to Kai was undoubtedly well-deserved!
