Li Nan's timely intervention temporarily solved the problem.

The men's basketball team won three awards in a row, overshadowing the women's volleyball team and standing out at the awards ceremony.

The awards ceremony was coming to an end.

The last award to be presented was also the most prestigious, the Jury Prize.

This award recognizes overall contributions to sports over the past year, and unlike the previous awards, it can be given to either a team or an individual.

The 2013 award went to the Chinese Weiqi team, and in 2014 and 2015 it went to Li Na and Lang Ping respectively.

So there were no nominees for this award; everyone present was a potential recipient.

The host and the award presenter played a suspenseful game. The first envelope they pulled out was empty, and the final answer was only revealed when the second one was opened.

"The winner of the 2016 Sports Personality of the Year Jury Prize is... Tang Tian!"

When Tang Tian's name was announced, the audience erupted in deafening cheers.

In the past year, Tang Tian had been the most influential athlete in terms of both media attention and personal performance.

Moreover, his charity foundation had grown larger and larger, helping more and more people. Including his participation in Yao Ming's charity game, he had exemplified the Chinese cultural virtue of helping the world when one is successful.

He truly deserved this award.

However, when the camera focused on Tang Tian's wry smile as he stood up, and it was projected onto the big screen, the audience burst into laughter again.

Tang Tian had just said that he was running out of words, and it was Li Nan who had saved the day.

But this time, he was receiving an individual award, and no one could save him.

Tang Tian walked onto the stage with a smile, thinking about his speech as he walked.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi composed a poem in seven steps. Tang Tian walked from the audience to the stage, and his speech was already ready.

"Thank you very much to the jury for their recognition. But I think this award should be given to all the Chinese athletes of the past year. For four years, every athlete has put in unimaginable effort and sweat, all for the sake of winning glory for the country at the Olympic Games. And they have indeed done so. So this award should belong to all of us Chinese athletes."

After Tang Tian finished his acceptance speech, the cheers and applause from the audience were overwhelming.

Many athletes stood up from their seats, their faces flushed with excitement.

Athletes like Tang Tian have both fame and fortune, but most athletes are unknown, and even if they win a championship, it doesn't change much because of the nature of their sport.

Tang Tian's speech put them in the spotlight and brought them into the limelight, immediately resonating with them.

The audience also stood up and applauded and cheered for Tang Tian. It was China's good fortune to have such a broad-minded first person in Chinese sports!

Olsen was beaming in the audience.

When she first took a liking to Tang Tian, he had nothing. Sure enough, a growth stock is the most invincible.

After the awards ceremony, Tang Tian held a fan meeting on the spot as previously agreed.

Signing autographs, taking photos, and fulfilling the fans' reasonable requests, Tang Tian didn't treat it as a job, but enjoyed the process.

This was always his attitude towards fans.

After the fan meeting, because there was a game in a couple of days, he took a plane back to the United States that night.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the New Orleans All-Star Game was approaching.

There's a little story behind the location of this All-Star Game.

The host city for this All-Star Game had actually been decided years ago, in Charlotte, which would have been a historic first.

The Hornets' popularity in the league and across the United States has always been very low, and because of that, the market is poor, and stars simply don't consider going there.

Originally, Walker's breakout this season, coupled with this All-Star Game, was a great opportunity for them to promote themselves.

Just like the Pelicans and New Orleans.

But they unfortunately had a terrible teammate.

In March of last year, North Carolina passed a bill against the LGBT community, refusing to protect the rights of these minority groups, which caused great controversy and was met with resistance.

This also led the NBA to ultimately decide to cancel Charlotte, North Carolina's hosting rights for the All-Star Game.

Jordan was also unlucky. He had already invested more than 30 million to renovate the arena, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain.

The image of Jordan's crying face released by the media became popular for a while.

In the end, the All-Star Game was awarded to New Orleans. This was the second time in the past four years, and the third time in the past ten years that the All-Star Game was held there.

New Orleans also suffered a large-scale flood last year, and the league made this decision out of a desire to provide assistance, but the fans didn't just think that way.

The Pelicans are now one of the hottest teams in the league, and the market is developing rapidly. Holding it here is also very beneficial to the NBA's promotion.

Tang Tian also set a new record because of this.

He has only been with the Pelicans for less than four seasons, but he has already become an All-Star Game host player for the second time in a row.

The All-Star Game is about to begin. Because the host city is in New Orleans, the Pelicans players participating in the All-Star Game were spared the trouble of traveling and could just wait in place.

Of course, Tang Tian has been busy these days. He has been secretly working on Project Mars for a whole week without Olsen knowing.

On February 16, the NBA All-Star Game was held in New Orleans as scheduled.

League superstars gathered in New Orleans for the annual carnival.

The first day was the Celebrity Game and the Rising Stars Challenge.

Brogdon participated in the Rising Stars Challenge and performed well, scoring 19 points and 6 assists. The MVP was won by the Suns' Porzingis, who had 33 points and 10 rebounds.

Tang Tian and Olsen went to the arena to watch the Rising Stars Challenge.

After the game, Tang Tian took Olsen directly to Project Mars.

The lights on the ship were mostly turned off, with only the warning lights on.

After they boarded the ship, Tang Tian led her into the cabin on the first floor, and then turned on the lights inside.

Under the lights, there was a dazzling array of food, and there were as many as 27 kinds of each item.

For example, crawfish: garlic, spicy, beer, wine-soaked, boiled, pepper and salt, curry...

For example, fish: steamed, boiled in water, braised in soy sauce, mock crab, spicy, pickled cabbage, fried...

For example, beef: stir-fried with scallions, with potatoes, cumin, stewed, sauced, boiled in water, red wine braised...

"Happy birthday, my dear."

Tang Tian said to Olsen with a smile.

Every year's All-Star Game is also Olsen's birthday.

This year was the 5th birthday that Tang Tian had celebrated for Olsen, and it was her 27th birthday.

While other people give lipsticks and bags for birthdays, Tang Tian had previously given sports cars and yachts.

But now that Olsen is the mother of two children, she has to produce milk, so she has to eat well.

Olsen's eyes were full of excitement, and she turned around and kissed Tang Tian hard, her mouth watering.

This whole ship full of food that crushed the Manchu Han Imperial Feast was like being in heaven for her, a foodie!
