In Abu Dhabi, UAE, the 2011 Lawrence World Sports Awards ceremony was held here.
For Zhang Guan, this award is not much attractive. The Lawrence trophy of Zhang Guan's family has been placed in a row, but for other players of the men's basketball team, this is a very important honor, especially those few. A young player, regardless of the Chinese New Year, has long been waiting for the UAE to receive the award.
The Best Team Award is a very important award in the Lawrence Awards. It is ranked second only to the best male athletes and best female athletes. The difficulty of winning is very high, and the competition of the Chinese men's basketball team is not a general generation.
The biggest competitor of the Chinese men's basketball team is the Spanish men's football team. The most popular sporting event last year was undoubtedly the World Cup in South Africa, and the Spanish men’s football team is the champion of the World Cup in South Africa.
According to the situation of the Lawrence Awards in previous years, the best team award in 2007 was the Italian men’s football team, they were the champions of the German World Cup; the best team award in 2003 was the Brazilian men’s football team, and also the champion of the Korea-Japan World Cup. In other words, the World Cup champions won the Lawrence Best Team Award the following year. According to this practice, the Best Team Award should be awarded to the Spanish men’s football team, so the voice of the Spanish team for winning is also very high.
In addition, the Italian giants Inter Milan, who won the five championships last season, the NBA championship last year’s Los Angeles Lakers, last year’s F1 team championship Red Bull Racing, and the European Ryder Cup golf team also won Nominated for Best Team Award.
If it is placed in peacetime, Inter Milan's five champions are already qualified for the best team award, but unfortunately last year there was a World Cup competition of this level. Moreover, the same as football, the gold content and influence of the Hercules Cup far exceeds the sum of Serie A champions, cup champions, Super Cup champions, Champions League champions and World Club Cup champions. Inter Milan is also destined to only run for Spanish men’s football Too.
Football is undoubtedly the number one sport in the world. In terms of influence, the men’s basketball world championship is much worse than the football World Cup. The World Championships in basketball are definitely in a weak position compared to the World Cup in football.
However, in terms of strength, the Spanish team has always been a popular World Cup champion, and the Chinese team is a midstream team in the men's basketball world championship. The difficulty of winning the championship is quite different. Although winning the World Cup in Spain cannot be said to be a breeze, it is not really difficult, and it is really difficult for China to win the World Championship. In particular, the five overtime finals show the difficulty of the game, far exceeding the World Cup finals in Spain's victory over the Netherlands.
The important thing is that the domestic prize is very important for this kind of awards. The sports association or the basketball association are willing to spend money to operate. For them, there is a chance to nominate, and they must not be missed. It doesn't have to wait ten or eight years! When the awards are handed over, you will have a face, and you will naturally have a political achievement.
In the end, the best team award still fell on the head of the Chinese team. When the senior team of the basketball association came to the stage to receive the award, they all smiled.
...
After sitting for a long time and being hungry, Zhang Guan used a fork to fork a piece of dessert. He went down and almost died!
Not too salty, but too sweet.
Many people think that Arabs like to eat barbecue and other things. In fact, they prefer to eat sweets. Arab sweets not only put honey, but also sugar, so it is particularly sweet. Abu Dhabi’s rich oil and natural ingredients will not be saved. This is definitely delicious for Arabs. For Europeans, it may be acceptable, but it does not meet the dietary habits of the East.
Zhang Guan swallowed half a glass of champagne in one bite, which made him feel better, and the waiter at the side brought black tea immediately.
"Or give me another glass of champagne!" Zhang Guan said immediately. He knows that UAE people drink black tea, and they add a lot of sugar.
"Hey, Zhang! Long time no see!" A voice sounded from the side. Zhang Guan turned his head and saw a long-faced bald man standing there.
"Congratulations, Zinedine! Congratulations on winning the Lifetime Achievement Award!" Zhang Guan said immediately.
The bald man is the famous football player Zinedine Zidane. He retired after the 2006 World Cup and won the Lawrence Lifetime Achievement Award this year.
The two began to talk. After a few words of greeting, Zidane led a semi-bald middle-aged man to the front and said, "Zhang, I will introduce you to a friend. This is Mr. Prudom, Tour de France. Chairman of the bicycle race."
Zhang Guan already understood that, Zidane ran to himself and talked with him, in order to introduce Prudom to himself and introduce himself to Prudom.
The three chatted a few more words, and Prudom entered the topic.
"Zhang, I heard that you are proficient in many sports. I don't know if you are interested in bicycles?" Prydom asked.
"Bicycle? You know, every Chinese team will ride a bicycle. When I was in elementary school, I would ride a bicycle to school every day." Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Prudom nodded: "Actually, I invited you to participate in this year's Tour de France. Of course, it can't be regarded as an official competition, but more of a charitable performance."
Just listen to Prudom and then say: "This year's Tour de France will start on July 2nd, we are going to invite some celebrities as guests to participate in the opening stage. Of course there is no need for the guests to really ride the whole journey, It’s just that on the first day of the game, you can just ride a few kilometers to make a look. We have equipped a special car for every guest, you can get on the bus at any time, you can even take the car to the end, and then Just ride a few kilometers across the line before the finish line. The time will not be long, at most it will delay your day."
Zhang Guan nodded. This was similar to finding guests to cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony of some events. The purpose was to create momentum. It's just that at the Tour de France, the ribbon-cutting was replaced by a real two-lap ride.
"Is the guest's equipment the same as the athlete's?" Zhang Guan asked with interest.
"It's the same, and it will be provided by the team." Prudom continued: "We initially invited ten guests. Each guest will wear a team's racing suit, and the racing car is also provided by the team."
"I remember more than twenty teams participating in the Tour de France?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Twenty-two detachment teams, so we will auction at that time." Prudom pointed to Zidane next to him, and then said: "I will give an example, if the Kofiniti team took Zine. Ding, then Zinedine will appear on the field wearing the Kofi Nidi team’s uniform. The cost of the auction will be donated to Africa for malaria prevention."
"It turns out that Zinedin will also participate!" Zhang Guan looked at Zidane with a smile.
"Besides that, we also invited Hollywood movie star Tom Cruise and singer Justin Timberlake..." Prydom said three or four names in a row.
Zhang Guan thought about it, and felt that one day's time could be drawn. Moreover, the Tour de France is also quite influential. It is no problem to participate more in this prestigious event. So Zhang Guan said: "Since it is for charity, then I have no problem, and I will definitely participate at that time." (To be continued.)
