【Chapter 1092】 Making History (Ask for Subscription!) )
Xiao Feng and the Lakers ended their overseas preseason journey and returned to Los Angeles, which means that the Lakers' preparations for the new season have entered the countdown stage, which naturally attracted widespread attention from Los Angeles media and fans.
Over the past 20 years, the 'City of Angels' have become accustomed to the presence of the 'Black Mamba', and when the team is missing the number 24 on the way to a treble title, many doubts have taken over.
Although the Lakers' performance in the pre-summer season in China is quite good, with a five-game winning record among the best of all teams, it is not clear for the time being that Kobe Bryant's absence will have a negative impact on the team. However, both the media and fans know that the preseason is just a warm-up, and everything can't be taken too seriously, only after the start of the regular season, can everyone see how strong the team is?
As the defending champions of the three-time winning streak, the Lakers' every move has attracted much attention, and in the past few days, major media have gathered around Staples and training gyms to try to take photos of the Lakers stars.
Of course, Xiao Feng, as the owner and the core of the team, has always been the object of media pursuit, especially after Kobe Bryant retired, he is the team's number one star, and the enthusiasm of the media is more focused on him.
At present, the number of media covering the daily training of the Lakers team will not be less than 50, in addition to the local media in Los Angeles, there are also many media in England, continental Europe, China and Asia. Xiao Feng's countless halos have made him the most popular sports superstar in the media, and reports about him are quite popular in the market.
In a way, today's Lakers, like Newcastle United in Europe, are the hottest team in international sports and the focus of the whole world. And these two teams have a deep relationship with Xiao Feng, which adds a bit of magic to them, and their exposure in the media is higher.
October 16th. The Lakers played the Clippers at Staples Arena, the last preseason game of the season, and beat their opponents 112-98 to round off the season.
The preseason record of winning all six games has eased the worries of many fans about the team a little, the lack of Kobe Bryant did not make the team sink quickly, and Xiao Feng's presence has stabilized the team well.
In the past. There are many examples of the retirement of key players that have left the team in a state of collapse, the most famous example being the Bulls. Before Jordan retired for the second time in '98, the Bulls had just won three consecutive championships, and the glory of the Bulls dynasty was still vivid. But when Jordan retired, the Bulls struggled to get to the playoff threshold for 10 years in a row, and it wasn't until Rose grew up that things changed.
Fans in Los Angeles are naturally worried that their teams will also encounter this kind of predicament, but fortunately, the strength of Xiao Feng and his teammates is not bad in today's NBA, so it is also a lot of peace of mind for many fans.
After the preseason between the Lakers and Clippers, the Lakers are back in regular preparation. Get ready for the opening match on October 27th.
…………
While the Lakers are preparing for the game, Newcastle United in England are also getting better, and they are invincible in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
In the 10th round of the Premier League, Newcastle United hosted Arsenal Arsenal, and this key battle also attracted the live broadcast of many TV stations around the world and a large number of media reports.
Without him, Newcastle United, who currently have six wins and three draws, occupy the top spot in the Premier League table, having conceded just two goals in nine games. scored 30 goals, the best start in Premier League history; Arsenal are close behind with 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, one point apart. is the Magpie's biggest competitor, and the meeting between the two is naturally full of highlights.
Of course, the biggest boo is whether Newcastle United, who are currently unbeaten in 49 consecutive games, can take the title of 'longest unbeaten run in the Premier League' from Arsenal?
By the end of last season, Newcastle United had been unbeaten in 40 games, and the Premier League Athletic Committee was also well versed in eyeball economy, especially arranging the match between Newcastle United and Arsenal in the 10th round!
And so it goes. This ordinary league has been given a very special significance, and the world's media have gathered at St James's Park to report on what could be a historic scene.
For veteran Magpies fans, perhaps this will also be one of the last glories of St James' Park, as it starts next season. The team will be moving to a new home stadium - 'Mirror Lake Stadium'!
However, it is enough to end the 137-year long history of St. James' Park with a glorious 'quadruple', 'triple crown' and 'unbeaten record'.
At 13pm local time on October 21, 2017, St James's Park welcomed countless fans in black and white sword stripes, and many fans from afar took photos outside the stadium as they could be here for the last time to watch the Magpies play.
Many fans flocked to the fan shop to buy all sorts of merchandise, the most popular of which were Li Yan and Brooklyn jerseys.
Brooklyn has a fan base all over the world, and like his father, he quickly gained a reputation in international football with his handsome looks and excellent skills; And Li Yan's fans are more from China and Asia, after all, his skin color will always make European fans a little prejudiced.
Of course, as time goes by, Li Yan is conquering more European and American fans with his excellent performance, and people are full of confidence in this Chinese young man who is not yet 20 years old.
In the past season, Newcastle United has become the most profitable team in the entire Premier League, with a total income of nearly £300 million and a profit of more than £60 million!
From next season, Newcastle United will move into the Mirror Lake Stadium with more comfortable seats and smoother commercial channels in Asia, with the club aiming for a profit of £100 million.
In order to take care of the TV audience in Asia, today's focus battle will start at 14 o'clock in the afternoon, that is, at 21 o'clock in Peking time. In fact, this is also a feature of the Premier League, and in order to win more Asian markets, many matches are played in the afternoon. Just in time for the golden time in Asia.
Among the five major European leagues, the Spanish league, which has completely different work habits from other countries, starts the latest time, often starting at two or three o'clock in Peking time, which also leads to more fans watching only some key battles. From this point of view, the Premier League's huge market share in Asia is not just due to the intensity of the competition. The arrangement of the details of the broadcast also played a key role.
With more than 50,000 fans pouring into St James' half an hour before the start of the game, it had turned into a sea of black and white, with the 2,000 away fans in yellow shirts huddled in the corners of the stands almost overwhelmed.
The fans sang songs, the atmosphere of the stadium gradually livened up, and the warm-up of the players from both sides ignited the enthusiasm of the fans.
In the past three years, Newcastle United has changed the half-dead state of struggle in the past, step by step. From a relegation team to a Champions League team, and won the 'treble' in a row, becoming the most dazzling presence in European football.
The team's successive victories also made the self-confidence of the Magpies fans skyrocket, and their performance on the court was more respectful, enthusiastic but not manic, which added more luster to the team.
For this match, Sky Sports will send the best camera team as usual. The match was broadcast live from 48 high-definition cameras and four aerial cameras installed around the stadium.
Due to Newcastle United's popularity and the importance of the game, TV stations in Europe, Weekly and more than 60 countries in Asia have purchased the rights to broadcast the game. Go live.
Many TV stations cut their cameras from the studio to the stadium 15 minutes before the game starts, because the focus of the battle is sure to welcome a large number of celebrities, and introducing these celebrities to fans and viewers is also an important means of boosting ratings.
The live broadcasters who are the TV broadcasters of such major competitions are often the most experienced senior directors in the industry, and they have a rich memory of all kinds of celebrities around the world, and it is easy to find them in the crowd.
Like what. When the live signal was cut out, the live director decisively set the close-up of the scene in Box 1 of St. James's Park, where many familiar faces were seated.
Newcastle FC CEO Beckham and his wife Victoria have always been regulars in Box 1, with the club's honorary chairman Kevin Keegan at their side, a combination that has been seen regularly over the past three years.
Ever since these two entered the club. The team's record is gradually improving, although not all the credit will not be placed on them, but Magpie fans also think that they have worked hard!
The director was sharp-eyed, and soon found that sitting next to Victoria and talking to her intimately was Princess Kate of the English royal family, she was sitting between Victoria and Xu Mengyao!
Now that Princess Kate appeared in the box, presumably Prince William will also appear, and sure enough, the director saw Prince William who was clinking glasses with Xiao Feng!
Also clinking glasses with them were Arsenal boss Kroenke and Walton family member Smith Walton, which is also the meaning of the title.
The first public appearance of a member of the royal family at St James's Park reflects the huge influence of Newcastle United and the huge network of Xiao Feng.
When the picture of box No. 1 appeared on the big screen of the scene, the audience suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers and applause, expressing the warmest welcome to the arrival of these guests.
The biggest contributor to the Magpies' rapid rise is the club's owner Xiao Feng, who not only brought huge transfer funds to the team, but also transformed St James' Park, lowered the ticket price, and brought more advanced training methods to the team.
Although Xiao Feng rarely appears in St. James's Park, his image has long been imprinted in the hearts of fans, and every appearance of his appearance can make fans cheer!
The English royal family has been the spiritual backbone of the English people for hundreds of years, and even today, when the royal family's prestige is gradually declining, they still have a very special meaning.
The huge cheers at the scene made Xiao Feng and Prince William stand up in unison and wave to the fans, triggering an even more enthusiastic response.
The Chinese audience who was watching the TV broadcast saw that Xiao Feng still had such a huge appeal overseas, and they also had a sense of honor.
Over the years, Xiao Feng has made all-round attacks in the fields of competitive sports and investment, and has created a huge career in Europe and the United States, while also becoming a business card of China to the outside world.
In the investigation reports of some European and American media, Xiao Feng has become the most familiar celebrity to the European and American people, and most of everyone's impressions of him focus on more positive words, such as handsome, rich, legendary, etc.
In the minds of the Chinese people, Xiao Feng is the most perfect representative of the Chinese man, he is very popular in Europe and the United States, and is the pride of every Chinese person.
The arrival of Xiao Feng and Prince William undoubtedly gave Newcastle United fans and players more fighting spirit, and the team began to use the advantage of home stadium to suppress Arsenal after the start of the game!
The unbeaten streak gave Newcastle United more confidence, and the game was quite imposing, and the double gate formed by Li Yan and Brooklyn even overwhelmed the center circle and firmly controlled the situation!
Arsenal tried to counter-attack under Mesut Ozil, but the flames were often extinguished in midfield, with the Magpies firmly in possession and a lot of noise in front of goal.
In the first half, with the help of Li Yan's direct free kick goal and Brooklyn's header, Newcastle United led the Gunners 2:0 into the second half.
This is also the most common way to open the door to victory for the Magpies this season, with Li Yan having scored six direct free-kicks and eight assists in 14 official matches, almost a third of the team's goals; Brooklyn was no slouch, with five goals perfect for a centre-back!
The score of 2:0 made all Magpies fans feel at ease, and creating a new unbeaten record is already a sure thing, after all, the Magpies have never been reversed in the past three years!
Kroenke in Box 1 stretched out his hand to congratulate Xiao Feng, although he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he also had to admit that the magpie's performance was even better!
After a short break, the game continued the momentum of the first half, with the Gunners' attacks intensifying, but they were still unable to pose much of a threat to the twin gates, but the home side were more threatening on the counter-attack.
In the end, Newcastle United beat Arsenal 3-0 at home, and at the same time rewrote the Gunners' record of 49 consecutive unbeaten games in the Premier League, leaving their mark on the history of the Premier League.
In front of the Magpies, there are also the records of Bayern Munich 52 and AC Milan 58, maybe this season, anything is possible! (To be continued.) )
