Chapter 859 Gold Medal Award Ceremony! (First Update!)
The cheers lasted for more than a minute, and the on-site awards ceremony also took more than a minute to wait.
The members of the Chinese team stretched out their hands to wave to the audience.
The members of the US team turned to look, their eyes filled with helplessness and frustration.
This scene should have belonged to them, but now it belongs to the Chinese team!
Not only can they not own this scene, but they are used as a foil to witness the Chinese team owning this moment!
Their inner suffering can be imagined.
But life is like this sometimes. Sooner or later, they have to pay it back if they go out to hang out. No matter how uncomfortable they are, they can only hold it in.
The cheers died down, but the on-site award ceremony remained the same.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach and FIBA President Horacio Mulato jointly presented the award to the Chinese team.
"Wu Qian."
"Zhai Xiaochuan."
…
Each team member is wearing a gold medal, and the host will announce their name.
"Ding Yanyuhang."
When Ding Yanyuhang was awarded the medal, the cheers were obviously louder.
Others in similar situations include Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun, both of whom performed outstandingly in the finals.
"Yi Jianlian."
When it was Yi Jianlian's turn, the cheers were obviously several decibels louder.
…
"Wang Zhelin."
When Wang Zhelin was introduced, the cheers at the scene could no longer be stopped.
Because behind him is Tang Tian.
"Tang Tian!"
The host intensified his tone, and the cheers reached a peak.
"MVP! MVP!"
Even as someone took the lead, a chorus of shouts erupted from the scene.
There is no MVP in the Olympics, but Tang Tian's performance from the group stage to the scene was definitely at the MVP level.
He averaged 35.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, shooting 61% from the field and 51% from three-point range.
His scoring average and total points both set a record high for an Olympic player.
Even 35 points is a number that many players can only score once in their lifetime in the Olympics.
But he has made such contributions almost every time. If there is a selection for the most valuable player in the Olympics, it must be him!
All the medals have been hung on the chests of the Chinese team members, and they all picked up the medals and kissed them one after another.
This will be the most precious thing in their lives.
Bach and Mutola sent them flowers one after another.
At this time, the camera was shown to several players who had outstanding performances in the Olympics.
The on-site commentators also gave their evaluations at the same time.
"Guo Ailun, I am surprised by his speed. If he can improve his shooting and passing, he will be an NBA-level player."
"Zhou Qi will land in the NBA this year. He has proven his outstanding talent. With good training, he has the opportunity to become the next Chinese giant."
"Ding Yanyuhang, he is already a relatively mature player, he is still young, I think he should try to hit the NBA. After playing a very good Olympics, this will be his opportunity to land in the NBA."
"Yi is the only NBA player on this team. He has also proved his strength. If it were not for him, the Chinese team would probably not be able to win this gold medal. Although his strength is not as good as that of Tang and Yao, he has contributed to this team. The national team gave it their all and deserve our applause.”
"Don, I believe that no words can describe his performance. He is the contemporary Michael Jordan. He has done things that seem completely impossible. We should be grateful to see such a team and such an Olympics. , he is the new god of basketball."
…
When the host was commenting on Tang Tian, the fans at the scene all stood up and cheered for him, and the cheers lasted for a long time.
There is no need to say more about Tang Tian's performance. Anyone who has watched the game knows what his significance is.
"Gentlemen and ladies, please stand."
Although most people were already on their feet, this was part of the awards ceremony.
In fact, when the host finished these words, countless Chinese fans in front of the TV stood up unconsciously.
This is a sense of ritual and an instinct.
"Play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China."
As all the audience stood up, after a brief silence, the prelude music that was so familiar to Chinese fans rang out.
"Get up, don't want to..."
At the scene, in front of the TV, all the Chinese sang along with this song that was engraved in their bones.
This is the greatest pride of being a Chinese.
This is the only song that resonates more with people than the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind!
As the song progresses, the Chinese flag hangs at the highest point, rising slowly against the background of the American and Spanish flags.
Everyone's eyes followed the national flag, just like the pride in their hearts, rising up in their hearts and reaching their throats.
Indescribable excitement!
When the national flag was raised to the highest level, there was an overwhelming cheer.
The fans in front of the TV also raised their arms and cheered and screamed.
The Chinese men's basketball team will be the Olympic gold medalist from now on!
After the award ceremony, the Spanish team members came over politely to congratulate the Chinese team.
On the U.S. team, except for Butler, Thompson, and Irving, the hard-working brothers who greeted Tang Tian, everyone else left the field directly.
They don't want to stay in the arena one more second.
The other two teams left the podium.
At this moment, Yi Jianlian shouted, and the other team members did something one after another.
They took off the medals around their necks and put them on Tang Tian's neck one by one.
After a while, Tang Tian's neck was neatly hung with twelve medals!
The huge weight made him feel a heavy weight on his neck.
Words cannot describe the recognition of Tang Tian's performance. Only in this way can the teammates express their praise for Tang Tian's performance.
And after that, everyone else came down one after another and formed a circle in front of Tang Tian. Then they held hands and raised them up, and began to worship Tang Tian.
Worship!
This scene seems familiar. During the 2011 Asian Games, when the Chinese team successfully won the championship, others did similar things to Wang Zhizhi.
That was Wang Zhizhi's last Asian Games. He scored 20 points in the final and made a tip-in at the last moment of the game to win the game.
Performance and emotion made the teammates at that time do that.
But this time, these national team teammates purely worshiped Tang Tian's performance.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Tian alone may be able to match 70 to 80% of the strength of this team.
Without Tang Tian, it might be difficult for them to qualify in the group stage, but with Tang Tian, they finally succeeded in winning the championship!
Tang Tian can afford this gift and should also accept it!
The cheers and cheers at the scene could not stop at all, and many fans were even following the Chinese team members in worshiping movements!
This is the night of the gods!
