【Chapter 1073】 Summer Frenzy (Subscription Requested!)

There is no World Cup and no European Championship this summer, which is a rare relaxing holiday for players who play in Europe's top leagues.

Therefore, since the beginning of June, media reporters and fans from various countries have focused more on the presence of the players in various resorts, and of course, the various beauties who appear around them are also the most popular topics of the media and the public.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, who lost in the Champions League final, has a new girlfriend, and the nickname Playboy may accompany his career.

Of course, people have seen the picture of Brooklyn and the superkiller girl holding hands in the Maldives for a vacation, which means that the two have officially established a relationship.

When the players enjoy a comfortable holiday, European football can be described as turbulent, after all, Newcastle United won the 'treble' for two consecutive years has given other top giants a great shock, if Newcastle United successfully defend the title next season, the Magpies' top giants have become a reality, and no one can suppress it.

The cake of European football or world football is so big, some people feast on it, and naturally some people are hungry, and everyone has to show their talents.

In order to have a stronger competitiveness against Newcastle United next season, the top giants in Europe's major leagues are recruiting and engaging in an arms race, and various transfer rumors are flying all over the sky, but fans and the public have had enough of watching all kinds of soap operas.

The quickest move was the Red Devils Manchester United, who, after several seasons of decline, saw the team's market value gradually decline due to poor results, and the Glazer family could not sit still. Within half a month of the end of the league season, Manchester United officially announced the arrival of Jose Mourinho, which was also the first move by the Red Devils to try to re-emerge.

After leading Chelsea to the Premier League title in 14-15, the Magic Bird was questioned within the team in 15-16. Eventual resignation. For more than a year, Mourinho has been at home, occasionally serving as a football commentator for Sky TV, waiting for a comeback.

This time, Mourinho and the Red Devils can be described as dry firewood, judging from Mourinho's five-year super contract worth £40 million. There was a great deal of determination on both sides.

As if as an introduction, Jose Mourinho's arrival at the Red Devils has intensified the arms race among Europe's biggest clubs, with transfer managers waving huge cheques in their hands and starting to search for the right players around the world.

Looking back at the summer of 2017 afterwards, the surging European transfer market seems to have set a tone for the development of European football in the next three years, that is, the poor get weaker and the rich get stronger!

In the face of the rivals' efforts to catch up, Newcastle United could not sit still, and the club's senior management, including Xiaobei and Xiao Dapeng, almost gave up the plan to take a vacation. Flying around Europe and the world every day to strengthen the team.

Newcastle United have won the 'treble' for the second year in a row, and it is foreseeable that the team will be the target of public criticism next season, and all opponents will try to step on the corpse of the Magpies with the greatest glory of beating Newcastle United.

Today, Newcastle already have a central axis of Brooklyn, Li Yan, Alonso and Cavani, which is also the strongest central axis in European football, and all the team's transformation will revolve around this core

First of all. To find a goalkeeper of a higher standard, Newcastle United have been invincible in the past two years. It's more about beating the opposition with a strong attack, because goalkeeper Krul has a lot of goals conceded by the quality problem, so it is imperative to find a top goalkeeper for the team.

On top of that, in order to cope with more buckets and dense defense in the future, the Magpies also need to achieve the goal of flying on both wings. The introduction of top full-backs and wingers is also a priority this year.

Xiaobei, Shearer and Xiao Dapeng are busy with the transfer in Europe, but this has nothing to do with Xiao Feng, after all, he, the shopkeeper, still believes in professionals, and he can be responsible for signing checks when the time comes.

Because of the huge profits of the 'Mirror Lake Group', Xiao Feng does not value the profits of Newcastle FC of tens of millions of pounds a season. What's even more important is the huge impact that Newcastle United have had on winning the title.

Therefore, Xiao Feng has no financial constraints on Shearer and others, as long as it can enhance the strength of the team, transfer funds are not a problem!

In this way, the Magpies, who have huge transfer funds, have joined the ranks of the arms race of European giants, which has made the transfer market even hotter this summer!

…………

On Saturday, June 24, many fans turned on their televisions to watch the NBA2017 draft, which is also used as the start of preparations for the new season.

Although Xiao Feng is the owner of the team, it is rare to have time to accompany the elderly and children at home, so naturally he will not travel all the way to New York to participate, and the team can send a uniform team led by Kupchak.

Sending Aldridge last season, the Lakers acquired a first-round pick in the lottery through a series of complex trades, which gave the Lakers more room to adjust in this year's draft. The only target of the Lakers this year is the Chinese player Zhou Qi, which is also the strategy set by the team two years ago, after all, Zhou Qi is a good complement to the team in terms of identity and technical play.

In order to obtain Zhou Qi and be able to allow Zhou Qi to have enough confrontation ability and skill level as soon as he enters the NBA, the Lakers club spent a lot of money and energy to postpone Zhou Qi for a year to participate in the draft.

In the past year, in addition to participating in the CBA league in China, Zhou Qi has to go to Los Angeles for special training in his spare time, and even train with the Lakers, and has begun to gradually adapt to the NBA physically and psychologically.

In addition to freeing up a starting spot for the UAE, it is more important to get a draft pick in the lottery area, so as to avoid the interception of other teams to the greatest extent.

The current Lakers team is ready and waiting for the draft to be held.

Before the official start of the draft, several teams with lottery picks were drawn, and the 76ers got the top pick, which is also the best reward for their two consecutive years of bad swings. The Lakers weren't as lucky as last season, only picking up the third pick in the first round. But this is enough for the selection of Zhou Qi.

This year's draft conference has attracted the attention of Chinese media and fans because of Zhou Qi's participation, and the sports channel of Huaxia National Television also follows the trend and broadcasts the draft conference live.

The purple and gold storm set off by Xiao Feng and the Lakers has undoubtedly greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Chinese fans, and the number of fans of the Lakers in China has skyrocketed, and it is not an exaggeration to calculate it in the hundreds of millions. A huge fan base means a huge market. Advertisers and media will naturally not ignore it, so as long as it is all kinds of news related to the Lakers and Xiao Feng, it is naturally put in the most important position.

At 8 p.m. local time in New York, the 2017 NBA Draft officially kicked off at the Black Center in Brooklyn, and NBA commissioner Silva personally presided over the draft.

However, for Chinese fans, they don't care what choice the 76ers and Suns make with the top pick, and everyone's attention is on the Lakers, who are the third pick.

When Silva announced that the Lakers had chosen Zhou Qi from Huaxia, probably most of China was in a state of cheers. This is also what hundreds of millions of fans are looking forward to.

Since Yao Da and the United Arab Emirates, Zhou Qi became the third Chinese player to enter the NBA with a high pick, for which he quickly earned the nickname 'Zhou Tanhua'. In his subsequent NBA career, Zhou Qi's stable mid-range investment left a deep impression on fans like the 'Xiao Li Flying Knife' in martial arts novels, which also made this nickname more magical.

Xiao Feng, who was in 'Ginkgo Village', saw that the team had selected Zhou Qi calmly, so he didn't continue to watch the draft below, after all, this has nothing to do with the Lakers.

Although Kobe's retirement will have a certain impact on the Lakers, the team is slightly less powerful than before. But Xiao Feng is sure that with the cards in his hand, it is not too difficult to achieve three consecutive championships.

Randle has been in the NBA for three years. However, it has not yet shown the potential of a power star, which means that Zhou Qi will likely replace Randle as the team's starting small forward, and the Lakers' starting five will have three Chinese players next season, which will also set a new record.

In the history of the NBA, there has never been more than three players from the same country who are not American nationals to start together, and the Chinese elements of the Lakers can be seen.

After the draft is over. The NBA's summer league is about to start, and this is also the best opportunity for teams to look at rookies and reinforcements.

…………

Basketball fans in China are watching Zhou Qi's performances in the summer league, while football fans are looking forward to a great team with even greater enthusiasm: Newcastle United's trip to Asia.

This time. Newcastle embark on a 'quadruple crown' tour of Asia, with four matches in Beiping, Haizhou, Yangcheng and Xiangjiang, as well as one commercial match each in Tokyo and the Lion City. From this point of view, Newcastle United's trip to Asia is to a considerable extent a trip to China.

Compared with Real Madrid's trip to China that year, Newcastle United this year is almost starry, and the biggest name in the whole team may be the club's general manager Xiaobei. However, Newcastle United is a great team that has successfully defended the 'treble', and the team's record has undoubtedly made up for a lot.

Besides, the Chinese elements in the Newcastle United team, as well as the two young players of Brooklyn and Li Yan, have been supported by countless Chinese fans, and it is reasonable that the enthusiasm of the fans is high.

The day after winning the 'Quadruple Crown', Newcastle Club announced the itinerary of the team's trip to Asia this year on its official website, and almost every detail has been thoroughly studied by the media and Chinese fans.

Therefore, when the team's special plane arrived at Peking International Airport on July 3, thousands of fans and reporters from more than 300 media outlets flocked to the scene, and the grand scene even appeared on the "Seven O'clock News Report" that night.

The players who have made great contributions to the club came to Huaxia, and Xiao Feng, as the owner of the team, did his best to be a landlord, so he and Xu Mengyao appeared in the welcome team at the airport.

In order to avoid causing fan riots and airport traffic congestion, the team did not take the passenger passage, but left directly from the tarmac under the police car, which made the fans and reporters at the scene feel a little regretful.

That night, Xiao Feng held a banquet to entertain the players at the Beiping branch of the 'Xiao Family's Private Restaurant', and Xiao Feng even cooked a lot of food himself, which was also Xiao Feng's heart as the owner of the team.

For the players of the team, although Xiao Feng, the boss, rarely comes to watch the game in person, his generous bonuses and the training, physiotherapy programs and various nutritious meals that have brought earth-shaking changes to the players have already made the players admire the boss so much.

What's more, in addition to Xiao Feng's status as a super-rich, he is also a basketball superstar, leading the Lakers to win the NBA championship for two consecutive years, which is an amazing achievement.

In competitive sports, people are more accustomed to worshipping the strong, so although Xiao Feng does not appear many times in the club, his presence is still very strong.

In the mouths of Li Yan and Brooklyn, the two little guys who are close to Xiao Feng, the players already know Xiao Feng's extraordinary achievements in cooking, so they are still looking forward to today's dinner.

When the players tasted the various delicacies cooked by Xiao Feng in person, they realized that the various Michelin-starred restaurants they had visited before had become boring.

At this time, many players have to sigh that the existence of Xiao Feng undoubtedly makes people feel inferior and feel that life is boring.

Xiao Feng not only founded the huge 'Jinghu Group', he can win championships by playing basketball, and he can make super delicious food when cooking, but what is even more enviable is that his figure and appearance are all the best choices, and he also has the happiest family in the world.

Eating the top food prepared by Xiao Feng himself, and tasting the five-year-old 'golden wine' of 'Xiao's Winery', the players of Newcastle United spent their first night in China, a beautiful and memorable night.

The next day, Newcastle United participated in various business events and charity activities arranged by the organisers, and they were on the front page of the major media throughout China, which was the huge influence of the 'Quadruple Crown'.

Everywhere the team went, there were crowds of fans, trying to get up close and personal with their idols, and it would be perfect if they could get a photo and an autograph.

Looking at this frenzied scene in front of him, Xiao Feng can almost foresee the situation of the NBA Huaxia game in the second half of the year, the Lakers will put three preseason games in Beiping, Haizhou and Yangcheng, and it will definitely be a carnival for fans again!

For Chinese fans, this summer is really enjoyable!(To be continued.) )
