King of the Zone

On the evening of February 2, the 6 Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony was held in London, England.

Cheng Hai, who was nominated for the Best Breakthrough Award and the Best Male Athlete, attended the event in full dress. Li Na and Liu Xiang were also present at the party.

Li Na, like Cheng Hai, was nominated for the Best Breakthrough Award, while Liu Xiang was nominated for the Best Comeback of the Year Award.

In addition, Tseng Yani of Huaguo Taipei has entered the nomination of the best female athlete with the results of two golf championships last year.

It's hard to win, though.

Of course, among the nominations for the best male athlete, there is Messi who just won the FIFA Golden Globe Award.

This makes the Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony attract much attention from all over the world.

Because the FIFA Golden Globe Award is a single award in the field of football, but the Lawrence World Sports Award is a combination of all sports events.

Although Lawrence's reputation is not necessarily higher than the Golden Globes, but judging from the award level, Lawrence is undoubtedly higher than the Golden Globes.

If Cheng Hai, who did not win the FIFA Golden Globe Award in the end, won the Lawrence Best Male Athlete Award, it would undoubtedly give FIFA a big slap in the face.

At 20:00 in the evening, the awards ceremony officially began.

As the awards were handed out one after another, Liu Xiang missed the best comeback award, which was taken away by the 42-year-old Englishman Clark who won the golf championship.

At the awards ceremony held in London, it is also expected that a not very important award was taken away by the British.

Then, the next award went to the Best Breakthrough Award, and Cheng Hai entered the final list of six nominees for this award.

The big screen began to show the breakthrough achievements of each nominee in 2011. For example, Li Na was the first tennis player from China to win the Grand Slam singles championship, Kvitova, a Czech girl who won the Wimbledon championship at the age of 21, Pistorius, the first South African amputee to win a medal in track and field competition for able-bodied people, etc.

However, compared with Cheng Hai's achievements, these nominees are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of age and achievements.

The youngest of them is already 21 years old.

And Cheng Hai was only 18 or 19 years old last year.However, last year, he won five championships including the Asian Cup, Bundesliga, UEFA Cup, German Super Cup, and European Super Cup, as well as the Golden Boots in various competitions, various records, and the most jaw-dropping 152 goals in the year.

This record is not only the first time that mankind has raised the annual total goal record in football to the 100-goal mark, but also has 85 more goals than Gerd Muller's previous record of 67 goals.

The other nominees' VCRs only played for about 1 minute, while Cheng Hai's VCR played for more than 3 minutes.

As far as this is concerned, only some important awards and goals are mentioned, and Cheng Hai's achievements in 2011 cannot be included at all.

As the leader of the Hua Guo team to win the first Asian Cup in the history of the national team, the first Chinese to win the Bundesliga Champions League Cup, and the first Asian to win the Bundesliga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot, Cheng Hai has broken records in many fields.

It can be said that the combined breakthrough achievements of the other five nominees are not as good as Cheng Hai's breakthrough alone.

Therefore, without any suspense, no one in the audience felt a sense of surprise when the award presenters read out "2012 Lawrence World Sports Awards Best Breakthrough Award-Cheng Hai" on the stage.

This is a matter of course.

Cheng Hai hugged Liu Xiang and Li Na next to him, accepted their congratulations, and then walked onto the stage amidst thunderous applause from all the guests, and received his first Lawrence trophy from the presenters.

When Cheng Hai took over the statuette of the Lawrence Award from the presenter, he actually received a total of 5000 million experience rewards.

This Lawrence Award for the Best Breakthrough of the Year, the experience reward was as high as 5000 million, which surprised Cheng Hai, and also proved the status and gold content of the Lawrence Award from the side.

In this way, Cheng Hai's level experience has reached level 29 as much as 5930.67 million/7000 million.

This made Cheng Hai look forward to the next best male athlete award.

There is no doubt that the Best Male/Female Athlete Award is the ultimate award of the Lawrence Award. Even if it is not increased, it will at least have the same 5000 million experience reward as the Best Breakthrough Award!

If he won this reward, then Cheng Hai would be able to upgrade to another level, gain skill point rewards, and perhaps develop a useful offensive skill.

Therefore, in terms of the usual award winners' speeches, Cheng Hai didn't go out of his way. He just thanked the team-mates and coaches of the national team and the club as usual, and then walked down, waiting with anticipation for the best athlete of the year award.

The first female athlete of the year award was presented. Yani Tseng, a girl from Taipei, failed to perform a miracle in the end. The ultimate award for this female athlete was taken away by Vivian Cheruiyot, a track and field athlete from Kenya. She won two gold medals in the women's 5000 meters and 10000 meters in the Daegu World Athletics Championships last year.

Next, is the announcement of the most breathtaking Lawrence Male Sportsman of the Year winner.

The six nominees were all outstanding in their respective fields last year. The big screen began to play the VCR of the six candidates, each of which was brilliant.

Cheng Hai led Dortmund to win the annual quadruple crown, personally staged an annual record of 152 goals, and led the Hua Guo team to win the first Asian Cup championship.

Messi led Barcelona to also win the quadruple crown, including the Champions League with the highest gold content, and won the Champions League Golden Boot.

Bolt is the world's most famous sprint superstar, Daegu Athletics World Championships won two sprint gold medals.

Djokovic staged a terrifying record of 2011 wins and 64 losses in 3, two of which were due to early retirement due to injuries, and won 10 ATP singles titles including three Grand Slams.

Evans is the Tour de France champion, and Vettel has won two consecutive F24 world championships at the age of 1.

It can be said that these six candidates have achieved the ultimate in sports in their fields.

However, relatively speaking, Cheng Hai, Messi, and Djokovic are more competitive.

Cheng Hai scored a terrifying 152 goals in the year, Messi is the winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, and Djokovic won 10 ATP singles championships in one year, the most in the world.

Although football is the number one sport in the world, the popularity and fan base of tennis in Western Europe and the United States are also very large.

Since the judges are basically all Westerners, whether Cheng Hai can win the ultimate award is really a bit suspenseful!

However, maybe it was Cheng Hai's dazzling performance that conquered the judges, or maybe it was the controversy over the FIFA Golden Globes that made the Lawrence Award judges afraid to make small moves.

In short, amidst the suffocating wait, the award presenter finally read out the name: "The winner of the 2012 Lawrence Male Athlete of the Year is—Cheng Hai!"

With a sound of "Wow...", thunderous applause broke out at the party, and Cheng Hai also heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face involuntarily.

The CCTV-5 commentator of Huaguo CCTV who was in charge of the live broadcast also excitedly explained to the domestic audience in the domestic live broadcast room:

"Cheng Hai won the award!"

"Cheng Hai won the Lawrence Male Athlete of the Year Award!"

"This is the final award of the Lawrence World Sports Awards, and it is also the first time a Chinese athlete has won this honor."

"Cheng Hai became the first Chinese to win the Lawrence Male Athlete of the Year Award."

"Let's congratulate Cheng Hai, congratulate Cheng Hai, he has won glory for Huaguo Sports."

"In addition, I want to say that it is ironic that Cheng Hai won the only year-end award in world sports - the Lawrence Player of the Year Award, but did not win the FIFA Golden Globe Award."

Indeed, no matter whether it is the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they can already imagine the storm after the award show:
A player who won the Lawrence Player of the Year Award, but did not win the FIFA Ballon d'Or in football alone.

You know, the Lawrence Award for Cheng Hai is not only a competition with Messi, he also won the collective competition with Djokovic, Bolt and other sports superstars.

You can already imagine the collective mockery of the FIFA Ballon d'Or in the media tomorrow.

Of course, Cheng Hai didn't care too much. He was very excited to win such an important award, and he was full of expectations for the experience he would eventually gain.

Amid thunderous applause from all the guests, Cheng Hai stepped onto the podium and took over the most dazzling statuette of the Lawrence Male Athlete of the Year from the presenting guests.

Then, Cheng Hai heard the electronic voice of the system issuing experience rewards in his mind: The Lawrence Ultimate Male Athlete of the Year Award did not disappoint Cheng Hai, and the system actually directly issued 1 million experience rewards.

凭借这个恐怖的经验奖励，程海的总经验就上涨到了29级15930.67万/7000万，自动升级为30级8930.67万/1亿，获得了30个技能点升级奖励。

Cheng Hai was also lucky in terms of the random skills that were unlocked with the upgrade. He got the skill of "Picking the Ball" with an initial attribute of 10.

You know, on the football field, many times the ball does not keep rolling on the grass, but bounces.

In the past, Cheng Hai had to use full-value stopping skills to unload the ball to the ground, and then dribble and break through.

But now that he has the "jump the ball" skill, Cheng Hai doesn't have to make a breakthrough on the ground. He can directly pick the ball as he likes without stopping the ball.

There is no doubt that if this skill is maxed out, Cheng Hai's strength will skyrocket again.

With the system in hand, Cheng Hai has become even more alien than the alien Ronaldo.

Cheng Hai, who was in a good mood, didn't do anything wrong. When he delivered his acceptance speech, he just thanked the judges of the Lawrence Awards, his teammates, coaches, fans, fans, etc. as usual.

However, Cheng Hai did not mention it, which does not mean that the media and fans did not mention it.

The 2012 Laureus World Sports Awards Gala has come to an end, and the media and fans from various countries have just begun to discuss Cheng Hai's winning the Laureus Sportsman of the Year but not the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
