However, Stern hadn't finished speaking. After a pause, he continued: "...and from the Miami Heat, player number 3, Dwyane Wade, congratulations to you both!"
Wade was stunned; it's like joy fell from the sky. He was mentally preparing himself to give Zhang Yang a hug after he raised the cup, forgetting about the award issue. He played really well tonight, and Zhang Yang's last game-winner earned his full recognition. He didn't expect to share the AMVP!
The director had just instructed a subordinate to display Zhang Yang's stats on the big screen. Hearing Stern's words, he was momentarily taken aback and quickly told his subordinate to put up Wade's stats too.
Zhang Yang played all 48 minutes, hitting 20 of 31 shots, including 5 of 7 from three-point range, plus 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 50 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block.
Wade played 36 minutes, hitting 10 of 16 shots, along with 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 25 points, 4 rebounds, 15 assists, and 2 steals.
