【Chapter 1046】 Basketball Holy Land (Subscription Requested!)

The main members of the Xiao family are all living in simple places, avoiding the encirclement of reporters as much as possible, and the reporters can't find suitable interview opportunities and materials, so they can only focus on Xiao Feng.

As the founder of the 'Jinghu Group' and the actual helmsman of the Xiao family, although Xiao Feng rarely asks about the specific affairs of the group, the media and the public know that Xiao Feng is the soul of the 'Jinghu Group'.

This time, Xiao Feng continued to maintain the status of 'the richest man in China', and also broke into the top ten of the Forbes rich list, which made his aura even more dazzling.

At the same time, Xiao Feng led the Lakers to continue their invincible performance in the NBA, and the occasional loss of a game did not affect the image of the Lakers' invincible division, and in the second year of entering the NBA, Xiao Feng successfully established himself as the first person in the league.

Now, whether it is the media, fans or industry insiders, it is generally believed that Xiao Feng's performance on the court has completely surpassed Kobe Bryant at his peak and now James, and has become the first person after Jordan.

In terms of scoring, Xiao Feng is not weaker than Kobe, and his all-round ability crushes James, especially the invincible three-point and organizational skills, which can directly improve the team's combat effectiveness. In the Rio Olympics, Xiao Feng led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat all kinds of heroes, and winning the gold medal is the best proof.

In the Lakers, although Kobe, Mark and others are outstanding, the Lakers can create a series of records, and Xiao Feng's contribution to an average triple-double per game is the main reason.

It is foreseeable that once Xiao Feng leads the Lakers to complete more than three consecutive championships, his historical position in basketball will not be weaker than Xiao Feng.

You must know that Xiao Feng's outstanding performance in the NBA will promote basketball and the NBA to more corners of the world, which is even greater than Jordan's role back then.

In this case. The media's pursuit of Xiao Feng has naturally become more and more enthusiastic, and whenever Xiao Feng participates in the game, the media reporters who come to the stadium are not limited to sports media and Chinese media, but also reporters from major mainstream media around the world.

At present, at least 200 reporters from more than 150 media outlets follow all Xiao Feng's activities in the NBA and all kinds of news about Xiao Feng. It is broadcast 24 hours a day on major websites and TV stations around the world.

Xiao Feng has completely transcended the category of a super-rich man and basketball superstar, and has become an eye-catching global icon, and his every move, word and deed is sought after by countless people!

On the afternoon of December 31, 2016, the Lakers came to the basketball mecca of Madison Square Garden to challenge the New York Knicks.

Don't look at the Knicks' average record over the years, but backed by the megacity of New York, it is still the most watched team in the entire NBA league. It is also one of the most valuable teams.

At the end of 2016, Forbes released the World Sports Club Value Rankings, and the New York Knicks ranked second in the NBA league, with a market value of $2.6 billion second only to the Lakers' $3.5 billion. That's amazing for a team that hasn't won a championship in 44 years, and the last time the Knicks made it to the Finals was a 98-99 season.

Since Anthony joined the Knicks, his record has improved, briefly reaching the playoffs and even winning the Atlantic Division. Let many Knicks fans see the dawn of revival.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the Knicks fell back into the sunk. The 17-65 record in '14-15 speaks for itself, and now the Knicks are back in junk contract and team turmoil.

Even so, the strong market appeal led the NBA league to decide to take the New Year's Eve game at Madison Square Garden, against the surging Lakers.

The NBA league is a commercial league, and every arrangement of it has a strong commercial consideration, and this New Year's Eve game has been completely stripped from a competitive perspective. Only the strong smell of commercial promotion remains.

Everyone knows about this, and they won't have too many opinions, after all, if the NBA wants to make a profit, it wants to promote it to the world. There are some rules that need to be followed.

Since the Christmas War, the NBA league's publicity focus has shifted to this game, and the images of Xiao Feng, Kobe Bryant and Anthony have frequently appeared in promotional videos, attracting the attention of fans, media and the public.

There has been no discussion about whether the Knicks will be able to beat the Lakers, as the Lakers' 38-1 record is the best in NBA history, and the Knicks have won just 16 of the first 40 games of the season, a win rate of just 40%.

The media and public focus will be on what Bryant will do when he lasts at Madison Square Garden, which he has memories of being fond of the place.

On February 3, 2009, Bryant scored 61 points here, setting the highest scoring record in Madison history at that time, and it was not until January 25, 2014 that Knicks star Anthony's 62 points rewrote the record.

In the promotional video of this game, whether Kobe Bryant can have an excellent performance in the last leg of Madison has become a major attraction, as for the Knicks star must defend his honor and not let Kobe be predominant.

As for Xiao Feng, he scored a big triple-double when he came to Madison last year, and was also considered by the outside world to be likely to score high points in this game with a huge disparity between strength and weakness.

In short, in a series of promotional videos, the team's record, wins and losses and other issues have been no longer emphasized, but the focus has been on several superstars, which is the focus of the New Year's Eve game.

…………

Because considering that there will be a New Year's Eve festival in the whole of New York City in the future, this New Year's Eve battle will not be scheduled to be held late at night, but will start at 17 pm local time in New York and is expected to end before 20 pm. Fans and TV-setters can also pack up and grab a bite to eat, then head to New York Times Square to catch a show and wait for the New Year's Eve countdown.

When the players are warming up on the field, the live director has already begun to search the audience for celebrities, which is also a major feature of Madison Square Garden Arena. Similar to Staples.

As the fashion capital of the world, New York is a city where many big names in the fashion industry and entertainment industry gather, and the Madison Square Garden Arena, as a place with a high exposure rate, also attracts many celebrities.

What's more, the Knicks' opponent in this game is the star-studded Lakers, and the game is broadcast live across the United States and even around the world. These stars are naturally a great opportunity that you won't want to miss.

Of course, the director's first shot cuts to an old black man in the first row of the audience, the number one fan of the New York Knicks, the great director Spike Lee.

Compared to the rather exaggerated and rich body language of the game, Spike is a little quieter now, and he sits quietly in his seat, as if thinking about something? After all, he is already in his 70s, and he is unlikely to be as energetic as a young man.

In addition to Spike, the director also saw many big names in the fashion industry and entertainment industry in the audience. For example, Bieber, ladyGAGA, Beyoncé, Kardashian and Hilton, etc., these stars wear simple clothes, which are different from the usual dresses and travel, but they have a unique flavor.

In addition, Knicks celebrities including Ewing and Zen master Jackson also appeared in the stands to watch this star-studded game, for these bigwigs, how to get the Knicks out of the current predicament. became the number one problem in front of them.

After all, it's such a big market as New York. The Knicks are fighting for the position of vice president in the East every year, and not only do they have to say ugly, but they also lose a lot of revenue.

In the stands, the director also found Xiaobei's family and Xiao Feng's family, who appeared together at the scene of the Lakers' away game, this is the first time!

Becky's family came from England to the United States for a vacation. The Christmas and New Year holidays are linked together, and they have a full two weeks to relax to their heart's content. However, because Brooklyn also has to play in the Premier League and Champions League with Newcastle United, there are only three small ones on this vacation.

A few days ago, the Becky family witnessed Xiao Feng and his Lakers team set a series of records at Staples Arena. Today they are in New York again, ready to go to Times Square together after the game, waiting for the New Year's Eve countdown!

Sitting next to Xiaobei's family was Xu Mengyao and a few children, the old people did not follow, and it was the nannies and bodyguards who helped take care of the children.

It was also the first time that the children sat in another stadium to watch their dad play, so they seemed quite excited, standing in their seats and calling for their dad constantly.

Because of Xiao Feng, Xu Mengyao and the children have become well-known superstars, so when they appeared on the big screen, they immediately aroused warm applause from the audience.

Even those celebrities are looking back for these cute babies, after all, the prominent status of their parents has gilded the children with a dazzling light!

…………

After the noise, the game officially began, and it was a battle between two teams with very different records, and there was basically not much suspense between the two sides. High-intensity defending with bayonets was rare, with both sides giving the opposing team's star more leeway.

So, the fans saw the wonderful offense of you coming and going, and after Melon Anthony scored in various ways here, Kobe Bryant or Xiao Feng immediately returned to color, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately.

The rest of the players also knew that the game was not so much a part of the regular season as it was a show, just to make the spectacle look good. For this reason, they are very cooperative, and the super individual ability of the star is more highlighted in the attack and defense, at this time the victory or defeat of the game has been put in second place, and the most important thing is that the game should be good-looking!

In order to prepare for this game, Kobe Bryant has been resting for two games at the beginning, and Kobe, who has abundant physical strength and a healthy body, is unstoppable offensively.

Xiao Feng is also happy to complete Kobe's last performance in Madison, concentrate on organizing, reduce the number of shots he takes as much as possible, and let Kobe stand up and score.

In this way, in the first quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting, and Anthony was not to be outdone, scoring 18 points at all!

The wonderful performances of the two stars made the audience feel that it was worth the ticket price, and at this time the game was no longer important, the most important thing was to be able to see Kobe and Anthony fly each other in Madison for the last time!

Anthony showed the world his comprehensive and unsolvable offensive style, whether it is a strong attack under the basket or a lazy mid-range, it is full of a combination of strength and beauty;

Xiao Feng played the role of Green Leaf well, leaving the brightest time for Kobe Bryant, who was about to leave the NBA, which is the superstar treatment he deserves in the NBA for 20 years!

Without defensive concerns, Bryant's offense was in full bloom, and by the halfway point of the fourth quarter, he had already scored 63 points, breaking Anthony's record of 62 points.

Anthony was also not to be outdone, scoring 55 points with a burst of shooting, and his performance was eye-catching, which made people marvel at Melon's offensive talent.

However, as time goes by, the advantage of having a superstar as a teammate around him gradually magnifies, Anthony is difficult to support after all, the difference between the two teams is getting bigger and bigger, and he is also at an absolute disadvantage in the showdown with Kobe.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Knicks with a score of 128-116 on the road, increasing the number of wins to 39 games, and also helping Kobe Bryant set a scoring record of 70 points in Madison!

Anthony's 65 points were dazzling enough, but he not only lost his own scoring record, but also lost the whole game.

Yes, Xiao Feng scored 12 points, 33 assists and 13 rebounds with a super triple-double, once again setting a record for the number of assists in a single game in the NBA, and he got 28 assists just by feeding Kobe Bryant, which is simply brushing up data!

At the end of the game, NBA commissioner Silva was quite satisfied with the performance of both sides, playing a high-scoring and wonderful game, and the two sides also set a series of records, which was enough for all the media to focus on this game.

The reason why the NBA can be promoted to the world, in addition to the fierce competition, the most important thing is the existence of superstars, which is the only rule.

When Kobe Bryant retired, Xiao Feng is the first person in the NBA league to focus on building, from the current point of view, Xiao Feng not only has good football skills, perfect image, but also very clear about the doorway of business operation, can interact and cooperate well with the league, and has a broad Chinese market behind it, it is simply the most perfect candidate!

…………

After the game, Xiao Feng handed over the press conference to Kobe Bryant and head coach Scott, washed himself and quietly left the underground garage, where his wife and children were already waiting for him in the car.

With two Audi A8s on the way, the team left Madison Square Garden and headed to Times Square in New York, where Xiao Feng and Becky will welcome the New Year's Eve countdown! )
