Last year's Finals saw a legendary star of 21 years in the NBA leave, and the five games of the Finals were watched by a staggering 4 billion people worldwide, setting a new record in NBA history.

In particular, the last Kobe Bryant's retirement performance attracted more than 1 billion global viewers to gather in front of the screen to watch the game, greatly expanding the NBA's influence on a global scale.

This year, the NBA will send away another superstar, and although he has only been in the NBA for three years, he has achieved jaw-dropping achievements in this short period of time.

Now, Xiao Feng's final performance in the NBA is about to be staged, which naturally attracts the attention of many fans and media, and the Finals have become the hottest topic in recent days.

Xiao Feng's special status in China and even Asia also makes this finals more meaningful, and the curtain call of Xiao Feng, a national idol in the NBA, is full of highlights!

…………

Although there are still three days to go before the first game of the finals, the media outlets supporting the two teams have already begun to debate in the air, and the fans are even more lively on the Internet.

Compared with the older generation of fans, the new generation of fans are more accustomed to supporting their own stars through the Internet, which is also a major feature of the new era.

Therefore, the confrontation of fans on the Internet has also attracted a lot of media to invest in it, and it is very lively!

The major media naturally want to be as lively as possible, and only by attracting more people's attention can the huge interview costs and advertisers' advertising expenses be recovered.

Therefore, even if the matter of 'Xiao Feng's retirement' itself is not concerned, the media can stir it up alive, not to mention that this matter has great news value.

The overwhelming public opinion has made the number of global media squatting at the door of the 'Dream Manor' more than 100, and on the lawn opposite the manor, you can see the LOGO of the news broadcast truck of major TV stations everywhere, in addition, including ABC, CNN, Sky Sports and other big media, have sent interview helicopters.

The soaring number of media has made 'Neverland' the focus of Beverly Hills, and many Hollywood stars and music celebrities have also come to 'Neverland' to dine at 'Neverland' intentionally or unintentionally, but they have also made enough space.

It's just that for the media, their goal has not been achieved, because Xiao Feng has not been interviewed at all, and even members of the Xiao family rarely appear in front of the media.

In order to avoid the influence of the media and some possible safety problems, Nini took a leave of absence from school during this time and stayed at the manor. For the teachers at Beverly Elementary, Nini's knowledge is far beyond that of sixth grade, a huge contrast to her 10-year-old age, and the occasional leave of absence does not matter.

As the richest representative of children under the age of 10 in the world, everything about Nini is the focus of media and public attention, and sometimes Xiao Feng has to take some special measures to protect Nini.

Nini can't go to school, Yu'er can only obediently stay on the manor with his younger siblings, four-year-old he is now in the middle class of Beverly Kindergarten, he is worth more than $1 billion, but 20 years later, the hottest diamond king is the fifth.

These days are a special situation, and the personnel of the Xiao family have tried to reduce the number of times they go out as much as possible, because the pervasive media will come up at the first time, which is really scary.

Xiao Qiang, who usually likes to appear in front of the media, also hid back to the 'No. 2 Winery' in the past two days, and closed the winery's tourism business, first quieted for two days, waited until the game reached the sky, and then took a helicopter to Los Angeles to watch the game.

The media that couldn't find the person concerned for an interview could only find another way to interview the NBA and basketball celebrities related to the Lakers in an attempt to get more information.

Among them, the most popular legendary superstar in the media is Kobe, after all, the grand scene of Kobe's retirement is still vivid, and it is most appropriate for him to look forward to the Lakers' performance in the Finals this year!

Kobe Bryant naturally has great confidence in the Lakers team without himself, and believes that the performance of the UAE, Mark and others throughout the season is quite good, and it will naturally not be a problem to win the championship.

"I can't comment on the boss at all, because he's bigger than me!" Whether it's from the bottom of his heart or out of respect for Xiao Feng as the boss, Kobe Bryant put Xiao Feng in a more important position, saying: "He's a superstar who can make his teammates stronger, and I'm far inferior to him in this regard, and at the same time, his strong attack power in a few games this season proves that he is better than me!"

For Kobe Bryant, a paranoid, he doesn't even think that he is much worse than Jordan, but in front of Xiao Feng, he doesn't have more confidence.

In fact, Kobe Bryant regrets that Xiao Feng has only played in the NBA for three years and is leaving, and if he continues to play, he may be able to win a triple championship.

Kobe Bryant's regret is also a vacancy that cannot be filled in the hearts of all Lakers fans and Xiao Feng fans, everyone hopes to see Xiao Feng brush up for several consecutive championships to enjoy it, after all, Xiao Feng is only 32 years old, and he can still be at his peak for several years.

It's just that when you think of Xiao Feng's identity, everyone can only be speechless, after all, Xiao Feng is not a player who makes a living by playing, and the identity of 'the richest man in China' allows him to be more willful!

Basketball celebrities also know the necessity of stirring up public opinion, they are not unanimous in supporting Xiao Feng to win three consecutive championships, while affirming Xiao Feng's individual performance, they are also hoping that James can break the nightmare and win his first championship in the Cavaliers.

For example, the god of basketball, Barkley, Malone and other celebrities all support the Cavaliers to snatch more victories from the Lakers and eventually win the championship. As for those Lakers-born famous Magic, Russell, O'Neal, etc., they naturally support the Lakers one-sidedly, and the various encounters between the two sides in the media are full of wisdom and meaningful history, which also makes many veteran fans relish.

All in all, before the finals started, the debate between public opinion, fans, celebrities and experts was full of gunsmoke, which also added a lot of interesting news.

…………

In this case, the Lakers' daily training had to be moved to 'Neverland', which has a fairly professional basketball court, physical therapy center and gym to meet the needs of the players.

Of course, the large amount of exercise and the fierce intra-team competition before the big game were naturally canceled, and the players were more relaxed and adjusted their psychological state, so they didn't need to be too nervous.

Except for newcomers such as Zhou Qi and Towns, the vast majority of the players in the team have ravaged the other 29 teams in the NBA, and the invincible record has given the players absolute self-confidence.

Last season's fourth-game loss to the Cavaliers in the Finals was nothing more than a long-planned accident, and the Lakers have already beaten the Cavaliers six times in a row in the regular season to establish enough psychological advantage. Now that they have met the Cavaliers and James Big Three again in the Finals, the Lakers are not too nervous, and everyone is waiting for the big battle with a normal heart.

…………

When the NBA Finals was hyped in the media, Newcastle United, who were far away in Europe, defeated Manchester United led by the Magic Bird and won the FA Cup.

It was Newcastle United's third successive FA Cup title, and the other team to achieve this feat was already Blackburn Rovers 130 years ago.

Prior to that, Newcastle United had successfully defended their Carabao Cup title in January and won the Premier League title two rounds earlier on 12 May.

In this way, Newcastle United have won three domestic titles in England and reached the Champions League final, taking solid steps towards the super goal of successfully defending the 'quadruple'!

Newcastle United's brilliant record did not cause much of a stir in the United States, but in continental Europe and other countries around the world, the huge influence of the 'World No. 1 Sport' is evident, and the number of Newcastle United fans is increasing rapidly.

In the more than 100-year history of modern football, no team has ever been able to monopolize the title of all the competitions it has participated in for three consecutive years, even Real Madrid during the fifth consecutive Champions League title.

Some media pointed out that Newcastle United is now one of the greatest teams of the 21st century, and if they can successfully defend the Champions League, achieve the feat of three consecutive Champions League titles and the 'quadruple crown', perhaps one of these two words can be removed.

This year, Newcastle United have made an all-out attack on all four fronts, and the biggest contributors are Li Yan and Brooklyn on the central axis, who have gone from last year's bright stars to superstars on the pitch.

The two of them have experienced the baptism of actual combat in a season last year, and received special training from Xiao Feng in the summer vacation, and they are fully mature and can deal with all the games with ease.

The defensive line organized by Li Yan and Brooklyn is the most solid in the entire Premier League and even European football, and they concede an average of just 0.3 goals per game, which is an important foundation for Newcastle United's invincibility.

In addition to the watertight defence, the combination of the two sets has also become an important part of Newcastle United's attacking system, and it is a killer feature for the team to break the deadlock.

In the 50 games that Li Yan and Brooklyn have participated in together this season, Brooklyn has scored 20 times with a total of 20 headers from corner kicks and free kicks from Li Yan, and a defender has played a top striker's goal efficiency, which is staggering.

At the same time, Li Yan, who is known as the 'encyclopedia of free kicks', has become more proficient in free kick skills after a season of training, and has almost reached the realm of pointing where to play.

In the 56 games that Li Yan has participated in, he has scored a staggering 24 direct free kicks, and has scored two goals and even a hat-trick in many key battles!

In the final of the Club World Cup in December 2017, Li Yan scored three times with a full moon scimitar, elevator ball and a powerful free kick to help the team defeat Argentina's River Plate 4-1 to successfully defend the Club World Cup, and at the same time, his name was etched in the history of the Club World Cup.

On 3 April 2018, Newcastle United travelled to the Red Devils Manchester United, with only one point separating the two sides in the event of a match that would determine the eventual title situation. Under heavy pressure, Li Yan scored directly with free kicks twice, helping the team equalize twice, and finally won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, laying a solid foundation for the team to win the league championship.

Countless examples have been evident this season, with Li Yan and Brooklyn playing a clear role in Newcastle's title winning journey, with two under the age of 20 already superstars.

After the end of 38 rounds of matches in the Premier League, Li Yan was named the 'best player', which is also the first time that a Chinese player has won this award, and although there is a World Cup this year, even if the Chinese national team performs in the World Cup, Li Yan is still the most favorable contender for the Golden Ball Award!

After the team won the FA Cup, Xiao Feng immediately made a video connection with the team, apologized for not being able to watch the game in person, and congratulated the players. Xiao Feng promised that once the team won the Champions League, he would personally pay 20 million pounds in prize money to the team's players, coaching staff members and medical team, with an average of 500,000 pounds per person!

It has to be said that Xiao Feng is a very good owner, he rarely interferes in the daily management of the team, and can provide sufficient transfer funds at any time, so that the players can take special planes when they go out to play away games, stay in the most luxurious five-star hotels, and enjoy the top ingredients airborne.

It is precisely because of this that although Xiao Feng rarely appears in the stands of St. James' Park, from the players, management, club celebrities and even fans, Xiao Feng's senses are excellent.

Xiao Feng's heavy reward also made the players excited, after winning the championship last year, the players have been impressed by the "Ping'an" around the world, presumably there will be more exciting rewards this year, right?

Knowing that Xiao Feng had led the Lakers to the NBA Finals again, all the members of Newcastle United congratulated Xiao Feng and promised to take the Champions League to Los Angeles to cheer for the Lakers at Staples Stadium.

Newcastle United and the Lakers are soaring on their respective fronts, which is also a success that the media has dubbed 'Mirror Lake Sports', and these two clubs, which are entirely owned by Xiao Feng, are refreshing people's perceptions of success with amazing results. The market value of these two clubs has also grown by leaps and bounds under the soaring results, and the value has more than doubled compared with when Xiao Feng became the owner, proving that Xiao Feng's investment is quite successful.

Perhaps, after this summer, the market value of these two clubs will reach a peak, becoming a model for the international sports industry and widely studied by industry insiders.

Everything will be known in the next half a month!(To be continued.) )
