On the evening of February 6, the 2012 Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony was held in London, England.

Cheng Hai, who was nominated for the Best Breakthrough Award and Best Male Athlete, attended in full costume, and the Chinese people who attended the party were Li Na and Liu Xiang.

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

In addition, Zeng Yani of Taipei, China, was nominated for Best Female Athlete with two golf championships last year.

However, it is very difficult to win awards.

Of course, among the nominees for Best Male Athlete is Messi, who has just won the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

This has made the Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony a lot of attention around the world.

Because the FIFA Ballon d'Or is a single award in football, the Laureus World Sports Awards are all sports together for awards.

Although Lawrence's fame is not necessarily higher than that of the Golden Globes, in terms of award ratings, Lawrence is undoubtedly a cut above the Golden Globes.

If Cheng Hai, who did not win the FIFA Golden Ball Award in the end, won the Laureus Best Male Athlete Award, it would undoubtedly be a big slap in the face to FIFA.

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

With the awarding of one award after another, Liu Xiang passed by the best comeback award, which was taken away by the 42-year-old Briton Clark, who won the golf tournament.

At the awards ceremony in London, a not very important award was taken away by the British, which is also deserved.

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

The big screen began to show the breakthrough achievements of the nominees in 2011, such as Li Na, the first Chinese tennis player to win a Grand Slam singles title, the Czech girl Kvitova, who won Wimbledon at the age of 21, and the South African amputee Pistorius, who won a medal in the first able-bodied athletics competition.

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, he won five titles last year, including the Asian Cup, Bundesliga, UEFA Cup, German Super Cup, and UEFA Super Cup, as well as the Golden Boot in various competitions, various records, and the most eye-popping annual total goal record of 152 goals.

Not only is this the first time that the annual goal record has been raised to 100 goals in football, but it is also 67 goals more than Gerd Muller's previous record of 85.

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

That's all, only some important awards and goals were mentioned, and it was completely impossible to encapsulate Cheng Hai's achievements in 2011.

As the first Chinese who led the Chinese team to win the first Asian Cup championship in the history of the national team, the first Chinese to win the Bundesliga championship and the League Cup, and the first Asian to win the Bundesliga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot, Cheng Hai is a record-breaking existence in many fields.

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

Therefore, there was no suspense, when the award presenters read out the "2012 Laureus World Sports Awards Best Breakthrough Award - Cheng Hai" on the stage, no one in the audience felt surprised.

It's a matter of course.

Cheng Hai hugged Liu Xiang and Li Na next to him, accepted the congratulations of the two, and then walked onto the stage amid the thunderous applause of the guests, and received his first Laureus Trophy from the hands of the award presenters.

When Cheng Hai received the Laureus Award from the award presenters, he received a full 50 million experience reward.

This Laureus Best Breakthrough Award of the Year, the experience reward is as high as 50 million, which surprised Cheng Hai and also proved the status and gold content of the Laureus Award from the side.

In this way, Cheng Hai's level experience has reached level 29 59,306,700/70 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 prize of the Laureus Awards, even if it is not increased, it will at least have the same 50 million experience rewards as the Best Breakthrough Award!

If he wins this reward, then Cheng Hai will be able to move up another level, get skill point rewards, and maybe open a useful offensive skill.

Therefore, Cheng Hai did not stand out from the crowd in terms of the usual speeches of the winners, but just thanked the teammates and coaches of the national team and club as usual, and then walked down, waiting for the arrival of the Athlete of the Year award with anticipation.

First up was the Sportsman of the Year award, which was won by Kenyan track and field athlete Vivian Cheruyiyot, who won gold in the women's 5,000m and 10,000m at last year's World Athletics Championships in Daegu.

Next, the final winner of the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year was revealed.

The six people who entered the nomination were all leaders in their respective fields last year, and the big screen began to show the VCRs of the six candidates, each of which was brilliant.

Cheng Hai led Dortmund to win the annual quadruple crown, set an annual record of 152 goals, and led the Chinese team to win the first Asian Cup.

Messi led Barcelona to four crowns, including the Champions League, the most valuable of all, and won the Champions League Golden Boot.

Usain Bolt is the world's most famous sprint superstar, winning two gold medals in sprinting at the Daegu World Athletics Championships.

Novak Djokovic, on the other hand, went on a terrifying 64-3 record in 2011, including two due to injury, and won 10 ATP singles titles, including three Grand Slams.

Evans is the Tour de France champion, while Sebastian Vettel has won two consecutive F1 World Championships at the age of 24.

It's fair to say that all six candidates have taken sports to the extreme in their field.

However, relatively speaking, the three people who are more competitive are Cheng Hai, Messi, and Djokovic.

Cheng Hai set a terrifying annual tally of 152 goals, Messi is a FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, and Djokovic won 10 ATP singles titles in one year.

Although football is the number one sport in the world, tennis also has a very large popularity and fan base in the Western European and American worlds.

In the case that the judges are basically Westerners, there is really some suspense whether Cheng Hai can take away this ultimate award!

However, perhaps it was Cheng Hai's dazzling performance that conquered the judges, or perhaps it was the controversy of the FIFA Golden Globe Awards that made the Laureus Award judges dare not make small moves.

In short, in the midst of the suffocating wait, the last name of the award presenter was read: "The winner of the 2012 Laureus Male Athlete of the Year is Cheng Hai!" ”

With a "......", thunderous applause broke out at the party scene, and Cheng Hai was also relieved, and his face couldn't help but be full of smiles.

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 has won the award!"

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

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

"Cheng Hai became the first Chinese to win the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year award."

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

"In addition, I would say that it is ironic that Cheng Hai won the Laureus Athlete of the Year Award, the only year-end award in world sports, but did not win the FIFA Golden Ball."

Indeed, whether it is the audience at the scene or in front of the TV, at this time they can already imagine the turmoil after this awards party:

A player who won the Laureus Athlete of the Year award, but did not win the FIFA Ballon d'Or in football alone.

You must know that the Laureus Award Cheng Hai is not only a competition with Messi, but also a collective competition with Djokovic, Bolt and other sports superstars.

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

Of course, Cheng Hai doesn't care so much, he is also quite excited to get such an important award, and he is full of expectations for the experience he will gain in the end.

In the thunderous applause of the guests, Cheng Hai walked to the podium and received the most dazzling little golden man of the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year from the hands of the award presenters.

Then, Cheng Hai heard the electronic sound of the system issuing experience rewards in his mind: this Laureus Male Athlete of the Year ultimate award did not disappoint Cheng Hai, and the system directly issued a reward of 100 million experience.

With this terrifying experience reward, Cheng Hai's total experience rose to level 29 159,306,700/70 million, and was automatically upgraded to level 30 89,306,700/100 million, and he obtained 30 skill point upgrade rewards.

In terms of random skills that are opened with upgrades, Cheng Hai is also lucky, and he has obtained the skill of "picking the ball and passing people", with an initial attribute of 10.

You know, on the football field, many times the ball does not roll on the grass all the time, but bounces.

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

But now with the skill of "picking the ball and passing people", Cheng Hai does not have to break through on the ground, he can directly pick the ball and pass people without stopping the ball as he wants.

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

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

Cheng Hai, who was in a good mood, did not make any mistakes, and when he delivered his acceptance speech, he only thanked the Laureus Award judges and his teammates, coaches, fans, fans, and so on as usual.

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

The 2012 Laureus World Sports Awards Gala has come to an end, and the heated discussion among media and fans around the world about Cheng Hai winning the Laureus Athlete of the Year but not winning the FIFA Golden Ball Award has just begun.
