Chapter 1263 This Kid Has a Big Heart!

Although the authoritative award of the Lawrence World Sports Awards has never had anything to do with football, every award ceremony will not lack the presence of football players, but generally speaking, active players rarely participate.

For example, at this year's Lawrence Awards Conference in Shanghai, French football star Cantona, Spanish defender Puyol, Brazilian legendary right back Cafu, German legendary center Bierhoff, former German goalkeeper Lehmann and other famous football players gathered in Shanghai .

Although they are masters on the football field, killing people off their backs, but off the field, especially in this kind of sports event, people in the football industry are still very united, even the Barcelona star Puyol who has suffered a lot from Yang Yang in his career , as soon as he saw Yang Yang, he immediately greeted him and took the initiative to say hello to him.

Faced with these football seniors, Yang Yang is also very polite, and since China is the host country, Yang Yang is also very enthusiastic about their situation in Shanghai, and even persuades them to stay in China for a while and travel around.

This time, both Bierhoff and Lehmann represented the German national team to attend this grand event. Among them, Bierhoff was also the leader of the German national team. .

Obviously, this time they also came for the Lawrence Best Team Award.

However, even if they are competitors in the awards, they are very polite to each other when they meet off the court.

This is also a characteristic of the Lawrence Awards Conference. The internal disputes in football can be fierce, but in the face of other sports, at least it is necessary to maintain unity and unanimously external.

Especially afterwards, as a representative of Real Madrid, Butragueno, the head of the public relations department, also attended the scene, and immediately took the initiative to find Yang Yang, and jokingly said that he made a special trip to bring Yang Yang back to Madrid.

...

At eight o'clock, the awards ceremony officially began.

The national anthem of the People's Republic of China was played at the scene, and everyone stood up in silence, including Yang Yang and Su Ye, and all the Chinese people in the venue were also very serious, either silently singing in their hearts, or singing along with the national anthem aloud.

Then he took the stage to give a speech, welcoming all the world's sports superstars to come to Shanghai to participate in this grand event, and they also came to the scene. Then a short film introducing Shanghai was played, and then there was an ancient Chinese gong and drum performance.

The host Juan Fu received warm applause from the audience as soon as he appeared on the stage. This British movie star who became popular all over the world because of Sherlock Holmes is not as withdrawn as in the TV series, but very humorous. It amused everyone in the audience, and then introduced the impact of sports on ordinary people.

The first award was the best team award, which was announced by the British actor Henry Cavill who played the Hollywood blockbuster Superman, and the Italian coach Fabio Capello was in charge of presenting the award.

The Chinese national team was also shortlisted for this award. The biggest competitors were Real Madrid and the German national team, but unfortunately, the final winner was the German national team, and Bierhoff took the stage to accept the award on behalf of the German team.

The second award is the Special Contribution Award.

This is not a permanent award. It has only appeared once before tonight, that is, it was awarded to swimming star Phelps in 2013. Tonight is the second award, awarded to Chinese tennis star Li Na, You Tian The superstar Michael Johnson presented the award to her, and this is also the first Chinese to win the award tonight.

After a wonderful unicycle performance, the legendary Dutch star Gullit came to the stage to present the Lawrence Public Welfare Sports Fund Award to the Afghan Girls Skateboarding League, followed by the heavy award for the Best Female Athlete. The guest was the legendary French star Cantona , the winner is Ethiopian middle-distance runner Genzebe Dibaba.

Genzebe is the youngest of the famous Dibaba three sisters. In the indoor competitions last year and this year, she broke the women's 1,500m, 3,000m and 5,000m world records and the two-mile world record. For the best result, she beat Chinese tennis player Li Na and American tennis player Serena Williams to win the award.

The loss of the Best Female Athlete Award made countless viewers in the venue and in front of the TV feel sorry for Lina. At the same time, many people were worried that it might be difficult for China, the host country, to win a major award this year.

Prince of Gymnastics Li Ning presented the Best Extreme Athlete Award, and the winner was the American speed skydiver Eustace, followed by the Best Breakthrough Award, which was originally presented by Lina, but the scene temporarily changed to the former motorcycle superstar Mike Duhan presented the award, and the winner was the Australian F1 racing car Ricardo who played for Red Bull Racing.

The awards ceremony was suspended again, and Lawrence Sports Academy announced five new members joining this year, namely gymnast Li Xiaopeng from China, former short track speed skater Yang Yang, former basketball player Yao Juren, and two athletes from Kenya and India.

And as the award ceremony progressed, everyone gradually began to feel puzzled, because the biggest surprise tonight was Yang Yang's attendance.

In the past two days, Yang Yang put aside the La Liga game and took leave with Real Madrid to go to China to participate in Lawrence, which has long been hyped by the media and fans all over the world. The attention of this year's Lawrence has also reached an unprecedented height. It is said that the whole world is looking forward to it, everyone is curious, will Yang Yang win the award?

Not only the fans outside were anxious, but also the guests in the venue were also surprised, why it wasn't Yang Yang's turn yet?

The further you go, the heavier the weight of the award, which is the rule of all award ceremonies.

Could it be that Lawrence set up a new grand finale award for Yang Yang?

...

Kokova, a model and actress from the Czech Republic, presented the Best Comeback award to South African rugby star Schalke Borg, who miraculously defeated deadly bacterial meningitis in 2014 It can be said that it is very touching to come back to participate in the competition.

South Korean movie star Ha Ji-won partnered with former German goalkeeper Lehmann to present the best handicapped athlete. American wheelchair racer McFadden won the award, but because of his limited mobility, his mother accepted the award on his behalf.

Then came the Sportsmanship Award. The winner was the Chinese basketball star Yao Juren. He was the second Chinese athlete to win the award tonight, and he also deserved it.

At this moment, everyone on the scene had their appetite whetted by the suspense. Everyone was wondering if there would be any big prizes next?

According to past traditions, the Best Male Athlete Award will not be awarded to football players, but this year's biggest favorite is tennis star Novak Djokovic, who won the Wimbledon men's singles championship and the year-end championship last year. The champion of the final, and the Australian Open champion at the beginning of this year, it can be said that the scenery is boundless, and the voice of winning the award is the highest.

So, if the best male athlete award goes to Djokovic, what about Yang Yang?

Could it be that he really just came here to join in the fun?

If this is the case, then Yang Yang will definitely be scolded by the football media and fans tomorrow, because there have never been football superstars coming to join in the fun, and they care more about the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Many people in the football field secretly broke into a cold sweat for Yang Yang, but looking at Yang Yang, the old god was sitting there, chatting and laughing with his wife Su Ye and Real Madrid star Butragueno, as if nothing happened at all. don't care.

This kid has a big heart!

The more Yang Yang is like this, the more certain everyone is. Lawrence must have added a major award for him, and it may even be the grand finale.

But at this moment, Moses, chairman of the Lawrence Sports Foundation, slowly walked out of the podium.

At this moment, the audience exclaimed.

Moses was always handing out the grand finale, and his presence was proof that the final prize of the night was about to be handed out.

Is it going to award the best male athlete award to Yang Yang?

But this possibility was quickly forgotten by everyone on the scene and the audience in front of the TV, because there has never been such a precedent in Lawrence's past ten years.

This year is the sixteenth, and in the past sixteen years, there have been very few football players and football teams favored by Lawrence, let alone the award of the best male athlete to a football player.

But if not, wouldn't Yang Yang really come here to join in the fun?

...

Moses was obviously not surprised by the discussion on the scene.

As the chairman of the Lawrence Sports Foundation, the first thing he did after taking the stage was to introduce to everyone the achievements and progress that Lawrence had made in the past ten years, as well as the influence he had created, and then he explained Lawrence's philosophy.

This is already a routine of previous awards ceremonies, and no one is surprised at all.

Moses then began to introduce the list of this year's nominees for the Best Male Athlete Award. Every time he introduced an athlete, a short video of the athlete would be played on the big screen behind him.

Tennis superstar Djokovic first appeared, followed by British racing driver Hamilton, French track and field athlete Renaud Lavillene, British golfer Rory McIlroy, Spanish motorcyclist Marc Marquez, and Chinese Football player Yang Yang.

It is worth noting that Yang Yang's short film was placed last, while Djokovic was placed first.

In the eyes of many people, this seemed to be a hint, so that after the short film ended, many people looked at Yang Yang with sympathy, feeling that he was a hot face with a cold ass.

is not that right?

Don't you just want to win an award when you come to the scene?

But what happened?

He didn't get the award, but received a cold reception. He didn't even get the additional award rumored by the outside world, which can be described as extremely disappointing.

Conversely, Djokovic competed in Monaco and failed to come to the scene, but he still ranked first, was still the favorite to win the championship, and was still favored by Lawrence.

To put it bluntly, Lawrence is not interested in football, and it is basically impossible for a football player to win Lawrence's heaviest best male athlete award.

Therefore, there is a saying in football circles that being shortlisted is victory!

Of course, in football, the FIFA Ballon d'Or is more important than Lawrence.

It's a pity that Yang Yang shouldn't be in Shanghai Lawrence tonight!

Just when everyone was arguing for Yang Yang, Moses on the podium finally opened the winner's envelope.
