Durant's inner thoughts, or rather the US team's reaction at this time, weren't getting much attention.

Everyone at this moment just wanted to cheer for the Chinese team!

Yao Ming came down from the stands to the court and hugged each of the Chinese team members, expressing his gratitude.

Every member of the Chinese team had given their all in this game.

And only by giving their all could they accomplish this seemingly impossible feat.

Every single player on this team deserved this victory!

Of course, most importantly, there was Tang Tian.

Parker and Ginobili also came down to the court, congratulating Tang Tian.

"You really did it, I don't know how to describe it."

Ginobili hugged Tang Tian with a smile.

Although he had also led the Argentine team to defeat the US team 12 years ago, to be honest, the Golden Generation of Argentina was much stronger overall than the Chinese team.

Parker also congratulated him from the side.

Yao Ming also walked over at this time, greeting Parker and Ginobili one by one.

Before he retired, his Texas civil war with the GDP was also a major highlight for fans.

In the end, he hugged Tang Tian for a full half minute.

"He is the best player in this Olympic Games, no objections, right?"

Ginobili said with a smile.

Parker nodded with a smile.

Tang Tian scored 25 points in the fourth quarter, breaking the Olympic single-quarter scoring record!

Moreover, he scored 58 points in the entire game, breaking the 55-point single-game record set by "Brazilian Jordan" Oscar Schmidt in 1988!

Breaking two records in a row, leading the third-rate Chinese team to defeat the first-rate US team to win the gold medal!

If this wasn't the best, there wouldn't be anything better.

However, Yao Ming shook his head with a smile.

"He's not just the best in this Olympic Games, he's the best player right now."

Yao Ming took the opportunity to boast!

But the boast was justified.

Winning the NBA championship and the Olympic championship in one year, winning all the MVP awards in the NBA season, and almost single-handedly defeating the strongest team in the world.

Although he was still far behind Jordan in terms of accumulated honors, this year was enough for him to match or even surpass Jordan!

Tang Tian was worthy of being deified!

The cheers of the fans at the scene continued.

The excited emotions of the fans in front of the TV continued.

At this moment, all the troubles and unhappiness were no longer important, because the Chinese men's basketball team had won the Olympic gold medal!

This was something that many people didn't even dare to dream of!

But now it was happening right before their eyes!

The venue entered a short break.

Because the award ceremony would begin immediately afterwards.

Tang Tian and the Chinese team members didn't immediately return to the locker room, because there were many Chinese fans present, and they were signing autographs for some fans at the very bottom of the stands.

Victory belonged to the Chinese team, and also to the Chinese fans.

This joy needed to be shared by everyone.

After signing the autographs, the Chinese team members entered the locker room to prepare to change into their award uniforms.

At this time, the fans on the hotline had already exploded.

"They can win this! We all underestimated Tang! He's not just the strongest player in the NBA now, he's the strongest player in the world!"

"The Chinese team can win the championship with this kind of lineup, I suddenly don't think the Warriors' championship in the new season is so stable anymore!"

"Yeah, I think the Pelicans have a very good chance of defending their title, because they have Tang!"

"I think the other players on the Chinese team have also been underestimated. Yi is definitely worth a big contract, and Zhou Qi, although his confrontation is a bit lacking, his talent is really good! And Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Ailun, they deserve an NBA opportunity!"

"Yes, I love Tang, and I love this Chinese team, they are the golden generation of China!"

"I saw Yao, he should be the one who feels the most. He once wanted to make a breakthrough for the Chinese team so much, but this gold medal also belongs to him. He is the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, and he has made great contributions to Chinese basketball since he took office."

"It's a pity that our national team lost, but I believe that in Japan four years later, they will win back!"

"Yes, the Chinese team's shooting percentage in this game exceeded 60%, which is completely abnormal. If we play again, we will definitely win."

"And we didn't send our strongest lineup. LeBron, Curry, Harden, our strongest players didn't go!"

"This Dream Team XII is indeed a bit short on strength. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, we need to be like we were in 2008 and regain the glory of the Dream Team in Asia!"

……

There was a lot of discussion on the hotline, and the topics were constantly changing.

Amidst their heated discussion, the Chinese team members had already changed into their award uniforms and came out of the player tunnel.

What greeted them was a sea of cheers.

The Chinese team members also waved to the fans again.

At this time, the Spanish and American team members also came out wearing their respective award uniforms.

The Spanish team members were in a good mood. They lost to the Chinese team in the semi-finals, and the Chinese team eventually won the gold medal.

In other words, they lost to the gold medal team, and they also successfully defeated the Australian team in the third and fourth place finals.

A bronze medal wasn't the best, but it didn't make them feel so bad.

The American team members were the most uncomfortable, their faces were uglier than the other, and many of them were just barely forcing smiles.

It was conceivable that this team would face even greater doubts after returning home than the Dream Team VI did back then.

After all, they lost to the Chinese team, and the Chinese team's best result in the Olympics before was only the top eight!

Every single player on this team needed a very strong heart to withstand that kind of doubt.

But reality was in front of them, and they had to face it.

After a monologue by the host, the award ceremony was about to begin.

At this moment, countless people were watching this moment.

At this moment, the Olympic Games' ratings reached their peak since the opening ceremony.

All the effort was for this moment.

The bronze medal was awarded first. After the host announced the winner of the bronze medal, the Spanish team members walked up from behind the podium with smiles.

The cheers of the Spanish fans also rang out at the scene.

Having a medal was better than not having one.

After the Spanish team, it was the American team. FIBA President Horacio Muratore presented them with the medals.

The American team members tried their best to force a smile as they accepted the medals and flowers.

At this time, even if they were unhappy, they had to pretend to be happy.

After their award ceremony ended, their faces returned to their original somber expressions, each one more unsightly than the other.

The American team's award ceremony ended, and the cheers at the scene started to erupt uncontrollably.

Because what was about to erupt next was the gold medal, and the Chinese team would be the ones to stand on the highest podium!

"The gold medal winner in men's basketball at the 2016 Rio Olympics is... China!"

When the pronunciation of "China" was uttered, the cheers at the scene reached a peak.

The Chinese team members held hands with each other at this time, and then jumped onto the highest podium together.

Without needing to feel it, this moment was the climax and peak of all of them!
