The Lakers' third consecutive NBA championship is undoubtedly a big event for the citizens of Los Angeles to celebrate, so the Los Angeles city and the Lakers have agreed that a grand parade will be held the day after the championship.

Early in the morning, hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles citizens appeared on the streets of Los Angeles wearing Lakers uniforms and holding various flags, waiting for the parade convoy to appear. The vicinity of Staples Arena has long been occupied by enthusiastic fans and tourists, who are scrambling to get a vantage point to get a glimpse of the champions.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiao Feng led all the Lakers players to appear in the square in front of the Staples Arena, and the players on the high platform brought the various honors that the Lakers have won in the past three seasons.

For example, the championship trophy won in the 15-16 season, Kobe Bryant's regular season MVP, Finals MVP, Xiao Feng's Best Rookie, All-Star MVP, Rookie MVP and Jeremy Lin's Best Sixth Man trophy, etc., represent the Lakers' past glorious resume.

In fact, in the past three seasons, the Lakers have crushed other teams and players in the NBA league from individual honors to collective honors, and they have become the most beautiful group in the league.

The glittering trophies undoubtedly greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the audience, and everyone was desperately shouting the names of the idols, and the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant. In front of the televisions, hundreds of millions of viewers were also watching the celebration, and the high ratings of last night's championship night had broadcasters and advertisers choose to broadcast the parade while the iron is hot.

Previously, most Chinese fans had only seen clips of various celebratory parades on the TV news, but now thanks to Xiao Feng and the Chinese players, everyone can finally see hundreds of thousands of people gathering together to celebrate a team.

Seeing those blond-haired and blue-eyed crooked nuts shouting the names of compatriots such as Xiao Feng, UAE, Zhou Qi and Jeremy Lin, Chinese fans were naturally proud in their hearts, and the slightly chaotic scene on the scene became extremely cute.

"Thank you for your unwavering support of the Lakers, it is because of you that we have won these honors!" Xiao Feng, as the owner and core of the team, naturally wanted to speak on behalf of the team, and he has spoken English quite fluently over the years, and even has a slight California accent, which makes the Los Angeles citizens on the scene feel more friendly.

"I chose to retire because I want to spend more time with my family and children, and I hope to spend more time with my children on every anniversary!"

For the American middle class, who value family, the act of sacrificing a career for the sake of the family does not make people feel abrupt, but rather makes people feel that Xiao Feng is a living person, not a high-ranking 'god'.

"I believe that Mark, the United Arab Emirates, the bookmaker and the rest of the team can keep the team competitive in the league, and next season our goal is still to win the championship!" Although he chose to retire, Xiao Feng is still the owner of the club, and he naturally wants to give more confidence to fans and supporters.

With the team's current personnel mix, the team only needs to find a league-average point guard in the player market, and the team still maintains a strong competitiveness, and winning a championship next season is not a luxury.

After winning the championship last night, Xiao Feng received relevant information, including Forbes and various neutral evaluation agencies have estimated the market value of the Lakers at about $5 billion, but this number will decrease as Xiao Feng's retirement boom subsides, once the Lakers cannot successfully defend the title next season, I am afraid that it is not impossible for the market value to be cut off.

Although Xiao Feng will not sell the Lakers, and external institutions do not have much impact on the market value assessment of the Lakers, no one will watch his assets shrink. Therefore, Xiao Feng's first task after winning the championship is to continue to maintain the team's competitiveness, otherwise after winning the three consecutive championships, the team will be beaten all over the ground by other opponents, which will be very faceless.

In fact, with the Lakers' current personnel structure and salary space, it is entirely possible to sign a capable point guard in the free agent market in the summer. At that time, although the Lakers will not be able to reproduce the brilliant record of more than 70 wins, they will not be inferior to any team in terms of overall strength, and they will still maintain a considerable competitiveness for the championship.

…………

After a brief speech, Xiao Feng and his teammates boarded the open-top bus, surrounded by tens of thousands of fans, and slowly left the Staples Arena and began the parade.

The parade route was planned long before yesterday's championship, after all, the Lakers have a good chance of winning the championship, and many things can be prepared for a rainy day.

The city of Los Angeles has already imposed traffic controls on the parade route, and the police department has also sent a large number of police to maintain order, and there are even police helicopters circling overhead.

In the past few years, the citizens of Los Angeles have only watched the fans of San Antonio and San Francisco celebrate the championship, and the citizens of Los Angeles have finally raised their eyebrows in the past three years.

Everywhere the open-top bus went, fans and citizens cheered, and the fans desperately shouted the names of their idols, and the whole of Los Angeles was as enthusiastic as the summer sun.

In the noisy cheers, fans can occasionally be heard greeting Xiao Feng and others in Huaxia, which also reflects the success of Xiao Feng and others in the NBA and triggered a boom in learning Huaxia among Los Angeles citizens. Of course, among the crowd celebrating the parade, there are not a few Chinese, after all, Xiao Feng and others are heroes in the eyes of Chinese people in the United States.

Fearing that the Lakers would be insulated from the championship for years to come, similar celebrations may not be visible for years to come, and major television organizations in Los Angeles and even the United States have sent live broadcast teams to broadcast today's parade live.

At least 20 million Americans watched the march at home, which made broadcasters and advertisers a lot of money.

All in all, Xiao Feng led the Lakers to win three consecutive championships, creating great economic value around this event, and even driving the tourism industry in Los Angeles and even California, and the resulting economic phenomenon is also of great interest to many financial media and economists.

It's just that with Xiao Feng's announcement of retirement, a competitive miracle (economic miracle) that could have been formed was interrupted, which cannot but be said to be a pity!

…………

Although Xiao Feng will have more time to accompany his family and children after retiring, this is talking about the future, not these two days!

In the five games of the finals, although there were not too many friends in the Cleveland game to help out, everyone was very helpful in the three home games, and Xiao Feng couldn't say nothing at all.

These guests come to Staples Arena to watch the game, which is not necessarily one of the necessary factors for the Lakers to win the championship, but Xiao Feng, as the host, must also admit his feelings, which is also human nature.

To this end, Xiao Feng decided to hold a grand celebration party at 'Neverland' on the evening of June 12th, inviting friends from all walks of life to enjoy food and wine, and celebrate the brilliant achievements of the Lakers and Newcastle United in the past season!

Because Xiao Feng already knew about winning the championship, bringing the finals back to Los Angeles was also a planned plan, and the preparations for the party began half a month ago.

The rest of the stuff is easy to do, after all, in modern society, as long as there is money, it can be bought from the market quickly, which is not a difficult task for Mark William, who is in charge of organizing the party.

The preparation of all kinds of top-quality ingredients for the party is not a simple matter, and Rao is backed by the two top ingredient suppliers of 'Jinghu Group' and 'Wharton Group', and it is necessary to make sufficient preparations in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

For example, considering that there will be a lot of guests and guests who love Toei food, there will be many special dishes to be prepared at the banquet, such as peony shrimp, black tuna (bluefin tuna) and so on. These top-quality ingredients are not available in the market, and if it weren't for the Watanabe family's huge connections in Toei, it would not be possible to get fresh top-quality ingredients.

As one of the three top ingredients in the Western food world, truffle and foie gras are the main products of the 'Mirror Lake Group', so William doesn't have to bother too much, he only needs to hand over the order to the group, and naturally the best products will be delivered to Los Angeles in time.

As for the caviar, the 'Mirror Lake Group' did not have the ability to cultivate black caviar from the Black Sea, so it could only be obtained from Russia through the channels of the 'Wharton Group' and sent to Los Angeles by special plane.

The supply of these ingredients is just a few details of the whole party preparation process, and there are so many problems involved that it would be easy to mess up if it weren't for William's experience.

For example, the guests invited this time also have many wealthy Middle Eastern tycoons, including Mansour, and members of the Middle Eastern royal family will be present in person, so there are many taboos. For this reason, William adjusted the ingredients of the entire banquet, and some ingredients that may conflict with Mu Si Lin Teachings and Righteousness will not appear at the banquet to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

This banquet may come from all over the world, including sports, entertainment circles, media giants, business tycoons and political celebrities, and the high standard is even close to the state banquet, not sloppy at all!

As early as a few days before the Lakers broke into the NBA Finals, William had already led a team of 30 people to prepare, from ingredients, utensils, chefs, vehicle arrangements and other details to perfect, the energy and money spent on it can only be understood by those who are in it.

…………

At noon, Xiao Feng returned to the 'Dream Manor' after the parade, and after eating and playing with the children for a while, Xiao Feng came to the restaurant to learn about the preparations for the banquet.

For tonight's party, the 'Dream Restaurant' is temporarily closed today, as the preparations have started half a month ago, and it will not cause trouble to customers.

As the head of the restaurant, Xing Wenjun led Xiao Feng to check the reserve status of various ingredients, and even some long-taking dishes were already being made, and Xiao Feng, a top chef, needed some advice.

Because the number of guests at this banquet exceeded 300 people, including guests from China, the Middle East, Europe and the United States, and Dongying, it was necessary to take care of the religious habits and living customs of the guests.

For example, in addition to Western dishes such as steak, there will also be Dongying delicacies such as sashimi and sushi, as well as Middle Eastern specialties such as roasted whole lamb and Arabic flatbread, and naturally there will also be Chinese delicacies such as 'Xiao's roast duck' and halal version of Buddha jumping over the wall, and the list goes on.

The variety of food and drink can be a huge hassle for the preparation of the banquet, but Dream Restaurant, as the best restaurant in Los Angeles, has also hosted several large parties, and it is quite easy to deal with.

Xiao Feng is naturally quite relieved about the work ability of Xing Wenjun, William and others, and his inspection is just a formality.

In addition to the preparation of various delicacies at the banquet, the security of the entire manor, vehicle transfers, etc., are also carried out in an orderly manner, Xiao Feng inspected the circle, and did not find any problems, so he was relieved.

In the afternoon, a professional stylist came to the manor and began to design and prepare dresses for Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, after all, tonight's party was quite formal, and Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, as the hosts, naturally couldn't be sloppy.

Although Xiao Feng doesn't like to dress too formally, he can't always wear jeans and T-shirts on such occasions, which is undoubtedly disrespectful to the guests.

Considering that it is summer, Xiao Feng is not wearing a suit, but the diagonally striped linen shirt and a bright striped tie are quite handsome. As for Xu Mengyao, the ivory-white close-fitting cheongsam reflects her figure to the fullest, and the bright pink 'romantic star' on her chest will become the most enviable presence at tonight's party."

In addition to Xu Mengyao and Xiao Feng, several little people in the family have also been carefully dressed up, the appearance of the little princess and the little gentleman makes everyone look quite rare, Xiao Feng's photo on the scarf has ushered in tens of millions of likes in a short period of time, and the four children of Xiao Feng's family have become star-like existences!

As for the old people in the family, they are reluctant to attend this kind of occasion, Xiao Feng does not force them, and it is good to let Liu Yong, who also likes to be quiet, chat and play chess with them in the main house.

After a series of preparations, William reported to Xiao Feng that everything was ready and waiting for the arrival of the guests.

As the hosts, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao do not have to go to the gate of the manor to greet the guests, but at least receive every guest who arrives at the party site, which is the etiquette, so they waited for the arrival of the guests at the venue after eating something early.

On the small lawn at the entrance of the 'Dream Manor', there are more than 100 media reporters, after all, the guests attending the banquet tonight include celebrities from various fields, which is very newsworthy! )
