【Chapter 1187】 The War Reignited (Subscription Requested!)

When Xiao Feng participated in the construction of the island on Naru Island and enjoyed the priority island life, the world did not stop running. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just like that rotten sentence, the wheels of history are rolling forward!

After a trip to overseas preseason games in Asia, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles and played two more games against the Trail Blazers and Jazz at Staples Arena to complete all of this season's preseason schedule.

In the nine preseason games, every member of the Lakers team played a close time, whether it was the state of the players or the technical and tactical drills, they had plenty of time. Even so, the Lakers still have a nine-game winning streak, and the balanced roster and deep bench depth make them more competitive.

Although the preseason is not a regular season, nor is it a playoffs, whether it is fans, journalists or basketball experts, it can be seen that the Lakers have not sunk because of the retirement of Xiao Feng and Kobe, and they are still the strongest contenders for the championship in the new season.

Before the start of the regular season, the Lakers led the NBA's official power rankings, followed by the Warriors and Cavaliers!

The reason why the Warriors are still above the Cavaliers is because Durant joined the Warriors this summer, and the increasing age has made James's dominance in the league have decreased.

With that in mind, it's no surprise that the Cavaliers, who are 7-2 in the preseason, are behind the Lakers, who are 8-1 and have won all nine games.

Of course, this so-called power ranking does not necessarily reflect the results of the competition, it is only the strength on paper, and it cannot decide everything in the actual competition.

In the years leading up to Duncan's retirement, the Spurs were never at the top of the power rankings, and even their regular season performance was poor, but they often had excellent performances in the final Finals.

Therefore, people know in their hearts that in addition to the strength on paper, the factors that determine the ownership of the championship are experience, fighting spirit and even a little luck.

After a week of adjustments, the NBA's 2018-19 regular season will be held on October 27, 2018, when all the eyes of the world's sports media and basketball fans are focused on Staples Arena.

Before that, a common concern is whether Xiao Feng will show up at Staples Arena to receive last season's championship ring?

The Lakers participated in the preseason, and Xiao Feng, as the owner of the team, did not travel with the team, according to the information obtained by the media, he has been supervising the Nalu Island project on Nalu Island in Hawaii.

This is also a disappointment for many fans, after all, Xiao Feng's wonderful performance in the past three years has left a deep mark on the history of world basketball.

Xiao Feng's sudden retirement, just like his sudden appearance in the NBA, is full of amazing style.

…………

On the afternoon of the 27th, a large number of fans wearing Lakers jerseys poured into the vicinity of Staples Arena, who dragged their families here to enjoy the opening game of the new season.

Staples Arena is more than just a stadium, it has formed a sprawling commercial area where fans can enjoy the game as well as shopping, dining, clubbing and more.

Since the 'Qianxin Group' and the 'Jinghu Group' teamed up to take the Staples Arena, it has become a must-stop for many Chinese tourists to Los Angeles.

Therefore, it is not surprising to see yellow-skinned, black-haired Chinese people shopping and visiting here every day, and the surrounding Los Angeles residents are not surprising.

Today is the opening game of the new season, and the 'Brilliant Travel Collective' has already launched a huge tour group program half a month ago, with 800 Chinese tourists departing from Beiping and Haizhou to fly to San Francisco on two Airbus A380s respectively, and then visiting the United States, Los Angeles is the last stop of this tour group.

Over the years, 'Brilliant Travel Group' has become the best choice for Chinese tourists to travel to the United States, and in the first half of 2018, they have received a total of 1 million Chinese tourists to the United States, making a lot of money!

Among them, after the start of the new NBA season, the trip to Staples Arena to watch the game has become one of the most popular routes for many fans, and every time it is launched, it is in short supply.

This time, the 'Brilliant Travel Group' got 800 tickets for the opening game from the Lakers, which is a good ticket in the middle position, and if it weren't for the fact that the Travel Group and the Lakers are both Xiao Feng's industry, it would definitely not be possible.

You know, before the start of the preseason, the Lakers have sold more than 15,000 home season tickets for the new season, and there are less than 5,000 tickets left in circulation. And the opening game is a very important battle, the tickets for the game have already been sold out, and it is already a fast move for the tourism group to get 800 tickets.

In order to be able to watch the opening game in person, these 800 visitors paid 6,000 US dollars each, which is about RMB40,000!

In recent years, 'Brilliant Travel Agency' is taking advantage of the overseas industrial layout of 'Jinghu Group' to take the lead in the high-end market of Chinese outbound tourism and become the leader of the high-end tourism industry.

Taking tourists to Europe as an example, 'Brilliant Travel' took advantage of Newcastle United's matches across Europe to launch the 'European Football Tour', attracting a large number of fans and tourists to travel to Europe and watch Newcastle United's games live.

In this year's Champions League final, 'Brilliant Travel Agency' organized a huge viewing group of 3,000 people, 6 Airbus A380 charter planes formed a mighty formation, and the neat phalanx wearing Newcastle United team uniforms and Chinese flags also shocked Europe and even the world.

Prior to this, Chinese outbound tourists were more interested in visiting places of interest, shopping and so on, but the 'Brilliant Travel Group' began to perfectly combine travel and sports, which is naturally eye-catching.

Now, the new NBA season is back in flames, and the 'Brilliant Travel Agency' tour group to the United States will naturally increase the itinerary of Staples Arena again!

Although Xiao Feng retired this season, the Lakers still have two Chinese basketball players, UAE and Zhou Qi, as well as Jeremy Lin, a Chinese, so the Lakers' attraction to Chinese fans has not weakened much. In addition, the Lakers are still Xiao Feng's personal industry, and this alone will make a large number of Chinese fans come from far and wide to support the Lakers.

Therefore, when the clock turned to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, hundreds of Chinese wearing Lakers jerseys appeared neatly near the Staples Arena under the guidance of the tour guide, which also attracted many media reporters to take pictures and interviews.

Today's game is the opening game of the new season, and it is also the day when the NBA League awarded the Lakers last season's championship ring, and reporters from all walks of life naturally rushed to find heavyweight news.

Naturally, a group of hundreds of fans can also be a good tidbit news, which shows the huge potential of the Chinese market.

In the past few years, the European and American media's reports on China have no longer been groundless and fabricated, but have become more objective and true. The rapid development of the Chinese Empire and its huge economic power have made the media, the public, and even the governments of Europe and the United States put aside their ideological prejudices.

After all, the lives of many Europeans and Americans are completely inseparable from China, and it can be said that without China's huge production capacity, the lives of these Europeans and Americans would be a mess.

In a sense, Huaxia is using its economic strength to win the respect of European and American societies, and Chinese people who travel abroad can also have a more comfortable journey.

…………

In addition to the Huaxia fan group, the reporters also noticed a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the number of fans wearing Xiao Feng's No. 23 jersey accounted for half of the proportion.

Although this has a certain relationship with the fact that fans have not yet purchased the new season uniforms in time, it can also see Xiao Feng's lofty status in the hearts of Lakers fans.

After all, it was Xiao Feng who allowed the Lakers to rise again on the verge of sinking, winning three consecutive championships and becoming the team with the most championships in the league.

Although today's game starts at 8 p.m., a large number of fans have been entering the stadium since 6:30, and the Staples Arena has become lively.

According to data released by the Lakers, 20,880 tickets to Staples Arena have been sold out today, and 187 reporters from more than 100 international media have submitted requests to the Lakers for interviews.

At the same time, ESPN, Sky Sports, Huaxia CCTV 5, Beishi TV, Dongying TV and other international TV stations will broadcast the opening match live.

Although Xiao Feng has retired, the Lakers are still the team that has attracted much attention!

…………

On the car from 'Neverland' to Staples Arena, Xiao Feng received all kinds of data from the team manager Kupchak, and finally let go of his originally somewhat hanging heart.

Although the valuation of the Lakers in the outside world will not affect Xiao Feng's wealth, it is not a bad thing for the team to have a better performance in management.

The ultra-high profits of the sports industry have made Xiao Feng more interested in the sports industry, and perhaps in the future, he will buy teams from the Major League Baseball, Ice Hockey League or Football League to form a large and complete sports industry.

As the scale of the 'Jinghu Group' grows larger, it is unwise to put all its eggs in one basket, so it is imperative to adjust the industrial structure and further enhance the influence of the 'Xiao family' in the world.

In Xiao Feng's planning, once the 'Xiao family' has a deep control over various industries around the world and moves in the direction of the Rockefeller and Morgan families, the 'Xiao family' may become a truly world-class wealthy family, a century-old family!

Xiao Feng is working hard, everything is in plan!

Xiao Feng's family's team did not park in the parking lot outside the stadium, but directly entered the underground parking lot of the stadium through the green channel, and then took the elevator to enter the stadium.

Xiao Feng asked Xu Mengyao and Xiao Qiang to take the old people and children to the hall first, and he turned a corner and entered the locker room!

In European football, the dressing room is a very interesting place, sometimes even the owner of the team is not allowed to enter without permission, and Xiao Feng rarely entered the dressing room when he went to St. James's Arena in the past.

However, it is completely different in the Lakers, the United States does not have this slightly conservative tradition, and Xiao Feng is originally a 'former player', so he can naturally enter the locker room without pressure.

The players who had returned to the locker room after the warm-up had changed into new jerseys and were sitting in their seats relaxing, some listening to music, some playing games, and some reading books, and they didn't look noisy at all.

Head coach Scott also doesn't have too many tirades, the Lakers have developed such a locker room culture in recent years, everyone should get used to it!

Xiao Feng's arrival immediately made the locker room lively, and everyone rushed up to hug Xiao Feng, in the hearts of the players, Xiao Feng is more of a comrade-in-arms than a team owner, even if he is now in a suit and leather shoes!

"I watched all 9 preseason games, and everyone performed very well!" Xiao Feng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I believe that everyone can have a better performance in the new season, and the championship is still ours!"

Xiao Feng's words made everyone applaud warmly, especially Tang Si, Zhou Qi and other young people were even more excited, Xiao Feng's status in their minds was not low.

Head coach Scott has no dissatisfaction with Xiao Feng's popularity, after all, Xiao Feng is the team's meritorious and boss, and his status in the team is not something that he can question as a head coach.

Scott is also a very self-aware person, knowing that the biggest credit for the three championships is Xiao Feng, Kobe Bryant and other players, not him as the head coach. Therefore, Scott is honest and has never had the luxury of being able to have a higher status and more voice in the club like Jackson!

…………

In this opening game, the Lakers' opponent is the Suns, which is also the league's consideration that the Suns' offensive play will make the game more enjoyable, and the Suns' weaker strength will not damage the home team's face.

In this world, the so-called absolute fairness naturally does not exist, the Lakers are the defending champions and have a huge influence on the world, and the NBA league naturally has to take care of the emotions of the Lakers and fans.

Even the Suns are powerless to resist the situation of being a foil in the opener, and only with strength can they win respect in these years.

At the appearance ceremony, the Suns players took the lead, and the Lakers fans were still quite friendly, giving the away team a decent cheer and applause, which also made the Suns players feel better.

Of course, lining up to welcome the championship makes these Suns players all kinds of envy and jealousy, hating that they are also part of the championship team.

One by one, the Lakers players took the stage, and the fans in the stadium were no longer seated, and everyone stood up to welcome their heroes.

The order in which a player plays means his status in the team, and the later the main player comes out, the more cheers and applause he will receive, and the roof of the entire Staples Arena will be almost torn off.

When Xiao Feng walked out of the players' tunnel for the last time, the whole scene was boiling, and the fans in front of the TV couldn't help cheering!

The aura of the superstar can be seen from this!(To be continued.) )
