Five spots in the All-Star lineup, two Chinese players.

At this moment, both the fans at the venue and those in front of the TV were extremely excited.

Nothing could be more exciting than this.

No, there was more.

After the All-Star lineup was announced, the host then revealed the Most Valuable Player of the World Cup.

Compared to the All-Star lineup, this was completely without suspense.

"The Most Valuable Player of the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup is Tang Tian."

When Tang Tian's name was announced, the fans at the venue, who had been anticipating this, also crazily chanted Tang Tian's nickname.

The shout of "Godfather" echoed in the arena, and it took a long time to stop.

Tang Tian took the MVP trophy, kissed it, and raised it high above his head.

After receiving the award, he also made a brief acceptance speech.

"This trophy doesn't belong to me alone, it belongs to all the national team players, Yi Jianlian, Xiao Ding, Fang Shuo, Abudurexiti… Anyone who has watched the games knows that our championship is inseparable from each of them, and they have all made contributions that they should, and even exceeded the expectations of the fans.

"Of course, it should belong even more to our fans. I believe that if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have played so well. You are the best fans in the world."

Tang Tian's acceptance speech wasn't long, but every sentence touched the hearts of the fans.

Yi Jianlian's crazy performance against Nigeria, Fang Shuo's three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game against Cameroon, Ding Yanyuhang's three-pointer that helped the Chinese team enter the top eight…

Just like Tang Tian said, Tang Tian was the foundation of this team, but winning the championship wasn't just his own achievement.

And the flattery at the end was just right, so accurate that they couldn't wait to give him rewards on Qidian.

After the MVP award ceremony, the last and most anticipated moment for the fans arrived: the championship award ceremony.

Not only the fans at the venue, but also the players were a little impatient.

The first to come on stage to receive the award was the Spanish team, who won the bronze medal.

They were in a pretty good mood. The American team was too strong, and they encountered them in the semi-finals. Being able to win the bronze medal was already the best result.

Pau Gasol kissed the medal and placed it on his chest.

Although he failed to fulfill his "challenge" to Tang Tian to win the championship during the Pelicans' four consecutive championships, this bronze medal was very valuable.

With an NBA championship plus a World Cup bronze medal, he had gained a lot this year.

Next to take the stage was the American team, who won the silver medal.

Compared to the Spanish team, their mood was obviously not good, or even terrible.

They hadn't recovered from the defeat just now, or such a defeat would accompany most of them for a long time.

The strongest lineup still couldn't win the championship, and it was difficult for them to let go.

And there was a detail during the award ceremony: Lillard put the medal in his pocket after receiving it.

A nice way to put it was that he had ambition, but a harsh way to put it was that he didn't respect the medal.

But this action also represented the American team's thoughts.

Unlike the failure in Rio three years ago, this year was just the World Cup, and the Olympics would be held next year.

They only needed to wait another year to get their revenge.

And as fans mentioned on social media, Tang Tian might not play in the Olympics next year, and their chances of winning back the world championship were very high.

After the Spanish team and the American team received their medals, they retreated to both sides one after another, and the emotions of the audience at the venue began to rise, with cheers constantly ringing out.

It was time for the final champion, the Chinese team!

The cheers of the fans already represented their mood at this moment, and the faces of the Chinese team members also had four big words written on them: "Can't wait!"

The trophy was brought to the Chinese team by the staff, and the players' eyes felt like they were glued to it.

Ding Yanyuhang wore a cut-off net from the basket around his neck, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of holding the trophy in the air.

Besides Tang Tian, he was the most excited person.

As a member of the Pelicans' four consecutive championships, he and Tang Tian had also completed the NBA World Cup Grand Slam.

FIBA President Hamane Niang came to the Chinese team under the guidance of the staff, and Tang Tian was also invited to the front of the team by the staff.

Niang took the trophy and handed it to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian raised the trophy high.

The other Chinese players behind him couldn't wait, shouting and surrounding him, reaching out to touch the trophy, their eyes full of excitement.

Behind them were even more celebrating ribbons all over the sky.

Ribbons filled the sky, excited players, reflecting the equally excited Chinese fans in the stands behind them, cheering with their hands raised high.

At this moment, this picture was the pinnacle moment of Chinese basketball.

Tang Tian standing in the center of the frame showed all his glory.

This year, he completed four consecutive championships in the NBA, and won the All-Star MVP, Regular Season MVP, and Finals MVP. When he came to the World Cup, he led the Chinese team to win the championship, was selected into the All-Star lineup, and was elected as the World Cup MVP.

The four words "taking everything into his own hands" were the most suitable and accurate description of him this year.

In the cause of basketball, he had truly achieved perfection.

After this photo was taken, Tang Tian handed the trophy to his teammates behind him, then turned around and took a photo with Olsen and his children.

On the morning of the finals, Olsen brought her three children again, naturally to watch Tang Tian lift the World Cup trophy.

Although the team he defeated was her own country, Tang Tian and her family were more important to her, and she was really happy for her husband.

At this moment, Tang Tian was not only the number one basketball player in the NBA, but also the number one basketball player in the world!

The celebration at the stadium lasted for a long time, and the live broadcast at the venue was also ongoing.

Although the fans in front of the TV weren't at the venue, they also enjoyed this rare moment with the live broadcast.

After the celebration, the players returned to the locker room.

Yao Ming was already waiting for them at the door.

Because he was in the stands before, he didn't go down to the field. Now he was guarding the door, greeting the players one by one.

His eyes were a little red, and his expression was a little excited.

With a double championship in the Olympics and the World Cup, he was even more motivated to reform basketball.

Tang Tian was the last to return to the locker room because he was still being interviewed by the media in the mixed zone.

Yao Ming had been waiting for him to come back. The two of them faced each other with smiles, shook hands, and then hugged.

Although they couldn't compete together on the NBA stage due to injuries, the two of them had a lot of private communication.

After winning the championship, there was a lot for them to talk about.

"Why don't we make a movie?"

Yao Ming said jokingly while chatting.

Although it was a joke, it was impossible for him to have no thoughts in his heart.

The United States could make "Space Jam", and James was also planning to make "Space Jam 2", so China could also make one.

Moreover, this arduous journey of the World Cup, the ups and downs of the game, were all good highlights.

Especially for domestic fans, the sense of honor of the national team couldn't be compared to a few animals.

"I think it's possible."

Tang Tian nodded seriously.

There were very few basketball-themed movies, and even the most well-known "Space Jam" starring Jordan didn't have high box office.

But this type of theme wasn't unpopular. The most direct example was "Going Vertical", which was filmed in Russia this year, and had good box office in both Russia and China.

Now, not to mention Chinese people filming a movie about winning the championship at home, the domestic box office would definitely explode directly.

And because the American team had always been the overlord of the world basketball, the Chinese team's successful challenge to them meant that the market for such a movie wouldn't be limited to China.

In other words, such a movie could very likely be a global hit.
