Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 173 Indoor Competition Finale

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Guo Zizhao and Brother Dong bid farewell to Zhang Jian and drove back to Rongcheng.

Just after arriving home, Song Ping and his father brought good news to Guo Zizhao.The nominations for the first Lawrence World Sports Awards were announced, and Guo Zizhao was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award as expected.

The Lawrence World Sports Award was founded by two major companies, DaimlerChrysler and Richmond.Lawrence means laurels in Latin, symbolizing victory in world sports.The Lawrence Award is to reward outstanding athletes in the world for their achievements in various fields.It is the only global awards ceremony today and is recognized as the "Sports Oscar".

The selection method of the Lawrence Awards is that more than 70 senior sports journalists from more than 400 countries and regions nominate the most outstanding athletes of the year.The 41 members of the Lawrence World Sports Society voted to select the winners. The Sports Society is composed of outstanding retired athletes in the world, each of whom has a glorious history.

There are a total of nine awards in the Lawrence World Sports Awards, among which there are five awards jointly selected by the media group and the Sports Association: including Best Male Athlete, Best Female Athlete, Best Sports Team, Best Newcomer and Best Comeback Athlete Two awards are selected by the expert team and the Sports Society: the Best Alternative Athlete Award and the Best Disabled Athlete Award; finally, the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Public Welfare Sports Fund Award are presented by the sponsors and the Sports Society.

The Lawrence World Sports Awards have always attached importance to professional competitions with great influence in the West.For example, tennis, track and field, racing, golf, football, basketball and other sports have always been the key projects favored by the Lawrence Awards.

Especially in tennis, it is simply a big winner of the best male and female athletes. "Tennis King" Federer, in the memory of Guo Zizhao's previous life, has won the best male athlete four times in a row, which is a brutal force.Another tennis master Djokovic has also won the title of best male athlete twice; followed by track and field events, the big devil Bolt has also won three best male athletes; car king Schumacher once Won twice, Tiger Woods has also won twice.

But for China's advantageous projects, the Lawrence Award seems a bit unpopular.

In the history of Guo Zizhao's previous life, China won a total of 4 awards.Liu Feiren and Yao Juren won the Lawrence Best Newcomer Award, the Beijing Olympic Team won the Lawrence Best Team Award, and Li Na won the Lawrence Special Achievement Award after she retired from tennis.

And other advantageous sports, such as table tennis, badminton, gymnastics, diving and swimming, have not been selected by domestic athletes because of the lack of professional influence in the Western world and around the world.

But on the other hand, the cooperation between the Lawrence World Sports Awards and China is also very close.Since 2004, China's annual "Top Ten" athlete selection has been married to the Lawrence World Sports Awards, and officially changed its name to "China's Top Ten Lawrence Champion Awards".

Now, this year is the selection of the first Lawrence World Sports Awards, and the nominations for the best athletes in 1999 are also announced.

……

"It's really good news, haha..." Guo Zizhao was also obviously very happy, "Mercedes-Benz is really reliable! Hehe... By the way, who else is nominated for the best newcomer?"

"The others are small roles. Your biggest opponent is Sergio Garcia, a Spanish golfer. However, your achievements and popularity last year far surpassed his. So if nothing else, this The award is decided by you." Song Ping was also very interested in Guo Zizhao's nomination, but he still asked in doubt, "But is this Lawrence Award reliable? Is it authoritative?"

"Why is it unreliable? Tsk tsk tsk, the sponsor behind is a big company like Chrysler! If it's unreliable, why would I want you to contact Mercedes-Benz and communicate with them in advance?" Guo Zizhao also said. He said cheerfully, "This year is just the first year. After two years, you will know how powerful this award is, haha."

Guo Zizhao also sighed. At the end of last year, when it was rumored that the Lawrence Awards would be organized, Guo Zizhao asked Song Ping and his mother to contact the business representative of Mercedes-Benz.The main meaning is to compete for one of the awards.As for the best male athlete, based on Guo Zizhao's performance last year, it must be useless.But the best newcomer, Guo Zizhao is still very promising.

Mercedes-Benz is also very supportive of Guo Zizhao's idea.After all, Guo Zizhao is currently the most popular spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz in track and field events.If Guo Zizhao wins the award, it will also be very beneficial to the image of Mercedes-Benz.Besides, the main founder of this award is Chrysler Corporation!If you are close to the water, you get the moon first...

It seems that this time, Mercedes-Benz's public relations is really effective.

. . . . . .

In the next few days, Guo Zizhao, who was in a good mood, also vented his energy on the training ground again.The originally planned domestic indoor competition could not be participated, so Guo Zizhao had to add another international indoor competition.

On February 2, Guo Zizhao and his team arrived in Birmingham, England.Two days later, they will participate in the Birmingham International Indoor Competition held here.But this time, the national team did not send any players to participate after the year.It is estimated that the main energy is now focused on the selection of athletes for outdoor events.

In this competition in Birmingham, many international masters participated.After all, it is already mid-to-late February, and the international indoor competition has also begun to come to an end.So most of the international masters have started to come out to warm up.In more than a month, the IAAF Grand Prix will start again.Besides, this year is the Olympic year. In order to cope with the Olympic trials in various countries, everyone should have prepared early.

In the men's 17m final of the Birmingham Indoor Race on the 60th, Guo Zizhao met his old rival, the Canadian trapezeman Surin.However, Su Lin obviously came to adjust his state this time, so he didn't use his full strength throughout the whole process, and finally only won No.3. No.2 is also Guo Zizhao's old opponent in the last round, the British Jason Gardner.

In the more than half a month when Guo Zizhao did not participate in the competition, the British man made a big splash and won the championship in three competitions.Just when he was getting carried away, he met Guo Zizhao again, and was very depressed when Guo Zizhao snatched away the championship with a time of 6 seconds.

However, in the final of the 60-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao was once again defeated by the British veteran Jackson.No way, the distance of the 60-meter hurdles is still too short.This is still very advantageous for athletes like Jackson who are faster in the first half.

Although Guo Zizhao also activated the "Powerful Intermediate Intermittent Sprint Skill" at the same time, his strength is still a little bit behind that of Jackson.In the end, he lost to Jackson by 7 seconds with a time of 44 seconds.

In the end, although Guo Zizhao got a reward of 0.5 attribute points, the 100 experience points he only gained made Guo Zizhao lose a lot.Well, 100 points for the competition, 60 points for the 50-meter champion and 50 points for breaking the Asian record, the total experience value of 200 points has to be halved, isn't it just 100 points?Grandma's, but I couldn't hold back in this game. I used running shoes and potions in two more games, and spent 90 points in each game.This time, it was a loss of 80 points.Depressed, it seems that I have to learn a lesson in the future...

……

So in the next two races, Guo Zizhao gave full play to his shameless spirit.If you are sure of the game, put on the equipment and go all out.In a match of equal strength, simply give up, so as to save some experience points.

In the Stockholm Indoor Race on the 20th, in the 60-meter final, facing his main opponent Jason Gardner, Guo Zizhao was very relieved and only used high-frequency running shoes, and finally won the championship with a time of 6 seconds.Successfully got the reward of 49 attribute points.

But in the final of the 60-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao lost all interest in facing Johnson.A bit of equipment was useless, and he simply lost to the opponent with a time of 7 seconds.Looking at Guo Zizhao's lazy look, Johnson, who just won the championship, is also very boring.Your sister, can you give me some feedback? I wanted to avenge last year's finals, but why do I feel like I punched nothing...
In the Athens indoor competition on the 25th, Guo Zizhao repeated his old tricks.It's just that this time he simply lost to Green in the 60 meters.The result was 6 seconds, another naked run.But on the 53-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao had to fight this time, beating Johnson, who was careless for a while, with a time of 60 seconds.Let this buddy blow his beard and stare angrily.Your sister, you are playing with me again, right? This Chinese is so cunning...

　A new week is about to begin, and exciting events are about to begin...
