When Newcastle United won the 'Quadruple' for the first time in history and won all the competitions themselves in a year, they became the greatest teams in world sport.

It's not just the sports media in Europe that have made headlines about Newcastle United's title, but even North America, which is considered a 'football desert', is vying to cover Newcastle United's feat. In addition, Newcastle United, like the Lakers who are preparing for the NBA Finals, is an industry under Xiao Feng's name, which also makes the media and the public pay more attention.

In the far east, Li Yan won the championship with the team and scored a direct free kick in the final, which made the Chinese media and fans fall into a collective carnival, which is no less than the joy brought by the national football team breaking into the World Cup in Russia.

The most heavyweight news program of Huaxia National Television, "News Broadcast", even spent 5 minutes to make an in-depth report on Newcastle United's winning the 'Quadruple Crown', especially Li Yan's outstanding performance in the team, which was even more widely written.

In the history of China, Li Yan is the best performer among the foreign players, he not only served as the main force in the 'Quadruple Crown' team, but also the main contributor to the team's championship journey, and what is even more commendable is that he is only 19 years old this year!

Maybe the Chinese national team doesn't have a chance to win the world championship like the men's basketball team, but Li Yan may become China's first international football superstar, and this alone is enough to poke the G-spot of the Chinese people.

Because of Xiao Feng and Li Yan, Newcastle United has become the home team of Chinese fans, and this time the fresh release of the 'Quadruple Crown' has made the fans enthusiastic.

Newcastle United's stores in Beiping, Haizhou, Yangcheng, Xiangjiang and Rongcheng ushered in a surging crowd, and fans of the 80 euro genuine jersey bought it without blinking an eyelid.

Among them, the best-selling jerseys are Li Yan's No. 13 and Brooklyn's No. 5, and the two youngsters have replaced Di Maria, Alonso and Cavani. Become Newcastle United's favourite player.

In addition to the jerseys, various merchandise is also widely supported by fans, and it is in this way that people show their support for the team.

As the first team in world football to successfully defend the 'treble', the Magpies have won more fans in a short period of time, when Newcastle United announced on their official website that they will start a trip to Asia this summer. It immediately detonated the enthusiasm of Asian fans, especially Chinese fans.

Prior to this, Manchester United, Real Madrid and other teams have been to China, and the crazy chase of fans is impressive.

In May, there was only one protagonist in the whole of international football, and Newcastle managed to surpass all the great teams that had come before them, leaving their mark on the history of international football.

…………

When Newcastle United reigned in the world, the Lakers also saw this scene on TV. This also greatly stimulated the fighting spirit of the players.

The Lakers, like Newcastle United, are both teams under Xiao Feng, although there is no direct competition between the two sides, and there will be no contention because of the amount of resources, but they don't want each other to be beautiful when it comes to showing their faces.

Newcastle United managed to become the first super team to defend the 'treble', and the Lakers naturally hope that they can successfully defend the championship so as not to lose face in front of the owner.

So, when the Cavaliers were playing Game 6 against the Raptors. The Lakers have already held their breath and are ready to see off Kobe Bryant with a championship!

James and his knights won't know. By the time they fought hard in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Lakers' morale had risen to a peak, and the Finals were destined to be an extremely difficult journey.

Facing the Lakers with a neat lineup and unity, even the Cavaliers with the Big Three are enough. It's just that they always have enough confidence before the game starts.

…………

On June 2, at 7 p.m. local time in Los Angeles, the first game of the 2016-17 NBA Finals will be played in Staples, which is also the countdown to Kobe's retirement.

In addition to the aura of the Finals, Kobe's final games in the NBA will also be completed in two weeks. Whether it's 4 or 7 games, it's already very rare!

In this case, this Finals has received the collective attention of the media and fans around the world, and even the people who are not so enthusiastic about basketball and the NBA are infected by the people around them.

In '21, since he was drafted by the Hornets with the 13th pick in the first round in '96 and went straight to the NBA from high school, Kobe Bryant has been in the league for 21 years, four scoring titles, three MVPs, and six championships are his brilliant answers in the past, and today, he will work hard for his seventh O'Brien Cup.

In order to make Kobe's influence more far-reaching, Nike launched a series of promotional activities during the playoffs, and the 'Mamba Month' is unprecedented.

After entering the finals, Kobe's commercials began to be published on TV stations, online platforms and print media around the world, and hundreds of millions of people learned about the wonderful performances that this player has made over the past 21 years!

Since the morning, fans from all over the world have gathered at Staples Arena, many fans do not have tickets to enter the arena, but they are satisfied to be able to have a huge portrait with Kobe.

The lowest ticket price for this Grand Final reached $1,200, and the price of the front row even exceeded $30,000, which is simply unbelievable.

Xiao Feng learned from the club's sales department that the ticket revenue for the first two games of the finals alone exceeded 100 million US dollars, which is a super data that has never been seen before or since!

Because this year's finals have been given more meaning, Hollywood, European and American pop music, political and business celebrities, and sports stars have all appeared in the stands of Staples Arena, which can be described as a group of bright stars.

In the past, Staples would have been a star-studded existence, but in today's game, the live director didn't even know how to switch shots, because the eyes were full of superstars.

Almost all of Hollywood's famous stars have come. With more than 600 international journalists covering this kind of occasion, no star can be missed.

Xiaobei is well-known enough in the world, but if it weren't for him and Victoria sitting next to Xu Mengyao and others, it would not even be easy to get enough close-ups.

Former California governor and superstars Schwarzenegger and Stallone sit side by side in the front row, and the appearance of two tough guys has murdered countless films. Of course, it is not ruled out that these two people are here to promote the new film that will be released next year.

Kardashian, Hilton, Scarlett and other Hollywood celebrities all appeared, and these female stars simply regarded this place as the scene of the Oscars, with dresses of different shapes competing for beauty, and the jewelry they wore was extremely dazzling.

Although A-list male stars such as Xiao Lizi, Tom Tom, Hanks, Will Smith, Johnny Depp and so on are dressed casually and even wearing Kobe's oversized jersey, they still attract countless attention.

In terms of sports, Armstrong, Phelps, Tyson, Messi, Xiao Luo, and sports stars such as Yao Da and Lin Dan of China also appeared in the stands, perhaps they wanted to use this way. Hats off to Kobe Bryant, a legendary superstar!

Lakers celebrities Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic, West, Zen Master and O'Neal are all here, although this is not Kobe's last game, but everyone is quite attentive.

The BBC, the TV content provider responsible for the filming and broadcasting of the live signal, aired the live broadcast an hour earlier for the sake of the more than 300 superstars and celebrities in the stands.

The broadcasters don't feel that they have anything to lose by the extra hour of broadcasting, because these celebrities will attract more viewers and increase ratings.

As a result, a very strange phenomenon has emerged all over the world. Obviously, this is a basketball game, but there are all kinds of familiar faces on the screen. The narrator is desperately trying to introduce the celebrities to the audience.

…………

When warming up on the court, James can see the superstars in the stands who are more famous than himself and have more fans, as well as the chaebol spokesmen who can represent the 'American will', if there is no trace of envy in his heart, it is fake.

Rao is James hailed as the 'No. 1 in the nation' in high school, and was recognized as a future Hall of Fame member before he entered the NBA. But his biggest regret is that Cleveland is so small!

Thinking of this, James is really envious of Kobe, he was handpicked by the Lakers celebrity West before he entered the NBA, and he could even willfully not sign with the Hornets, and the Lakers traded him back to Los Angeles with Divac as a center forward.

The advantages of a large city are something that a small city can never match. More exposure, more attention, and higher revenue, all of which Cleveland can't give James.

It's hard for James to imagine that in five or six years' time, his retirement season will still attract the world's attention like Kobe, and perhaps the answer is a little frustrating.

Kobe Bryant and Xiao Feng naturally didn't have the heart to consider James' change of mentality, for the two of them, two perfect seasons in a row, they need a championship trophy to draw an end!

…………

After the grand entrance ceremony, the game officially began, and soon entered the white-hot stage!

Everyone understands that after nearly 100 games, for this final finals, no one will be left behind, and there can only be one winner on the court.

Compared to the sacrifices made for Kobe Bryant's personal data some time ago, Xiao Feng put the team's victory first, so he took over the game after the game started, organizing and mobilizing his teammates in a more reasonable way.

In this regard, Kobe Bryant and Xiao Feng have reached a consensus before the game, after all, Kobe Bryant has passed the era of pursuing personal data and being young and frivolous, and for him now, the seventh championship is the most important.

When Xiao Feng was in full swing, Owen couldn't stand it, after all, Xiao Feng's personal ability is one of the best in the NBA, and it is difficult to prevent him with a single defense! But once the knight pinched Xiao Feng, his amazing passing ability was immediately undoubted, which made the knight suffer.

In this way, in the first quarter of the game, under Xiao Feng's wonderful performance of 12 points and 6 assists, the Lakers led by six points at 30:24 into the second quarter, which also set the tone of the whole game.

In the subsequent game, the initiative was still firmly in Xiao Feng's hands, and the Cavaliers, whose overall strength was already slightly inferior, was also powerless to fight, seeing that the score was getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that the team is at a disadvantage, although James is anxious, there is nothing he can do, even if he stays on the court for a lot of time, but he still can't turn things around by himself!

Under the watchful eyes of the fans and the world, the Lakers successfully defeated the visiting Cavaliers 116-107 at home and made a good start to the Finals.

Yes, Kobe Bryant didn't score much, only 28 points, which is far from his previous playoff average of 38 points per game, but the Lakers are in full bloom, with 6 players scoring double-doubles! Xiao Feng is still playing steadily as always, and this is also his 13th consecutive playoff game with a big triple-double, and the title of triple-double king is worthy of his name!

For James, the lack of energy in the game undoubtedly gave him a head start, after he thought he and his teammates were strong enough to compete with the Lakers in the Finals. But after the game started, he found that the team was suppressed as a whole, although the final score was only 9 points apart, and that was because the Lakers relaxed after the game went into garbage time!

James can't say that he didn't work hard in this game, he has been playing 42 minutes, 38 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds The triple-double performance is not bad at all, but basketball is not a one-person sport after all, compared to the comprehensive Lakers, the Cavaliers' shortcomings are too many!

However, there wasn't much time left for James to think and adjust, and on the 4th, the second game of the Finals continued, still at Staples Arena.

Like a remake of the first game, the game was controlled by Xiao Feng from the beginning, and the Lakers led all the way to the end, and this ease and freedom was really desperate.

At this time, James discovered that the soul of the entire Lakers was not Kobe Bryant, who was about to retire, but Xiao Feng, who could rush, shoot and pass. As long as Xiao Feng is here, even if there is a scoring guard with a slightly inferior strength, the Lakers are still an invincible super team!

The Lakers' two-game win at home was not unexpected, and now everyone is speculating whether the Lakers will sweep the Cavaliers and win the championship for the second consecutive season.

For many fans, if the Lakers win the championship in Cleveland, Kobe Bryant's retirement game will not be played at Staples Arena, which is somewhat regrettable.

Will the Lakers bring the suspense back to Los Angeles, though? (To be continued.) )
