Five spots on the All-NBA Team, and two Chinese players.
At that moment, fans both at the venue and in front of their televisions were extraordinarily excited.
There was nothing more thrilling than this.
No, there was one more thing.
After announcing the All-NBA Team, the host went on to reveal the winner of the World Cup Most Valuable Player award.
Unlike the All-NBA Team, this one held no suspense at all.
"The Most Valuable Player of the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup is Tang Tian."
When Tang Tian's name was called, the fans who had been waiting eagerly erupted into frenzied chants of his nickname.
Cries of "Godfather" echoed throughout the arena and did not die down for quite some time.
Tang Tian accepted the Most Valuable Player trophy, kissed it, and raised it high above his head.
After receiving the award, he gave a brief acceptance speech.
"This trophy does not belong to me alone. It belongs to every member of the national team—Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang, Fang Shuo, Abudushalamu... Anyone who watched the games knows that we could not have won the championship without every one of them. They all made the contributions they were supposed to make, and even exceeded the fans' expectations.
"Of course, it belongs even more to our fans. I believe that without you, we would not have played so well. You are the best fans in the world."
Tang Tian's acceptance speech was not long, but every word struck straight into the fans' hearts.
Yi Jianlian's insane performance against Nigeria, Fang Shuo's three straight three-pointers at the start against Cameroon, Ding Yanyuhang's three-pointer that helped China Team reach the quarterfinals...
Just as Tang Tian had said, he was the foundation of this team, but winning the championship was not his achievement alone.
