With a 3-1 scoreline, the Lakers brought the Finals back to Los Angeles, and while their NBA record of 30 straight playoff wins came to an end, it was the best result.

Whether it is for the media, sponsors or fans, it undoubtedly means more to be able to witness Kobe's retirement in Staples and to be able to see Kobe's final performance in the championship game of the Finals.

In Game 4 of the Finals, the Lakers' strong performance made it clear to everyone that the Cavaliers were already at the end of their game, and they simply couldn't drag the Finals to Game 6.

As a result, Game 5 at Staples Arena will be the final game of the Finals and the retirement game of the legendary Kobe Bryant!

…………

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles on a charter flight overnight after winning Game 4, and for all the players, the past games don't mean much anymore, and they need to take on a new challenge.

With two match points in hand, the Lakers are naturally relaxed and comfortable, and several young people on the flight are talking and laughing, all looking forward to the taste of the championship.

In the team, Downs and the United Arab Emirates did not have the experience of winning the championship, so the two of them seemed a little excited, but there was a boss on the plane, and everyone did not dare to be too presumptuous.

The players got off the plane and were sent home in a vehicle arranged by the team, unbeknownst to them, and from the moment they returned to Los Angeles, a massive publicity campaign began.

The Lakers' top sponsors include Nike, Audi, Mirror Lake Group and other super companies, and most of these companies overlap with Kobe's sponsors, so there is no contradiction between the championship promotion and Kobe's retirement promotion.

Therefore, when there were more than 30 hours left before the competition, a large number of media and sponsors began to work together to warm up for the final 'Mamba Day'.

Game 5 of the Grand Final will be played on June 11 at 7 p.m. local time in Los Angeles. Sponsors, including Nike, decided to mark the 11th as 'Mamba Day' to commemorate Kobe's retirement.

Under the inclination of a large number of media resources, not only the American people learned about Kobe's willingness to retire, but even Europe and China on the other side of the ocean, all social media were swiped by Kobe.

Perhaps, for many older fans. Kobe Bryant is just a replica of Jordan, and even he has a lot of controversy, which cannot be compared to Jordan's reputation as the 'God of Basketball'.

However, for those fans born in the 80s and 90s, Kobe Bryant is not only the only legendary superstar in their fan career, but also a symbol of their youthful memory.

"Maybe there will be another Kobe Bryant in the NBA, but we don't have a second youth!"

This is the most widely spread sentence on all social media in China in the past two days, and it has also aroused countless young people's nostalgia for Kobe, and the 'Kobe fever' is gradually heating up.

Many young people are already thinking about how to make time to tune in to this momentous grand final. Fortunately, the game time happened to be Sunday morning, Peking time, which is undoubtedly good news for Chinese fans!

Xiao Feng also noticed various movements on the scarf, WeChat and the Internet, he put a photo of himself and Kobe Bryant on the scarf, and marked 'Tomorrow is the last game, we need everyone to witness it!'

Xiao Feng's scarf has been enthusiastically commented and forwarded by the majority of fans, and at the same time, many entertainment stars and sports stars in China also reposted this scarf, calling on fans and fans to stay in front of the TV on Sunday morning. Cheer for Xiao Feng and Kobe.

Huaxia National Television's "Seven O'Clock News Report" even spent a minute reporting on the fifth game of the upcoming NBA Finals, introducing the significance of this game. And the time of the live broadcast on the sports channel of the national television station was announced.

Perhaps, only the World Cup finals and the finals of important Olympic competitions can enjoy such honors, in addition to Kobe, the legendary superstar, Xiao Feng, who has a wide and huge influence, is also an important factor.

All in all, more than 1 billion people around the world are aware of this momentous grand final, thanks to the power of the media. It is expected that the viewership will set a new record!

…………

June 11th is the 3rd birthday of Pingping and An'an, so Xiao Feng, who didn't go to training, got up early in the morning and made a bowl of longevity noodles for the children, wishing the babies healthy growth.

Thinking that the children's birthdays would overlap with the team's championship day, Xiao Feng was also quite happy. Although the two children are still young and do not understand the significance of the championship to Xiao Feng personally and the entire 'Jinghu Group', they will understand it when they grow up in the future.

On the day of the game, the team no longer arranged training, and Xiao Feng and others could arrive at the Staples Arena at around 5 p.m. for home games, so Xiao Feng rarely had a day to spend with the children.

Because of the importance of this game, many family members in China have also arrived in Los Angeles one after another, and the phalanx of the Xiao family will appear in the stands tonight, which is also a scenery of Staples.

Xiao Feng didn't have much to worry about the competition, so he took his children and pets to ride and play in the 'Dream Manor' all morning, and cooked some delicious food at noon.

After taking a nap, Xiao Feng found that his family was all dressed and waiting for him to set off together.

"Grandpa, don't be so serious, we will win the game!" Seeing that the two old ladies were wearing their own jerseys, Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh.

In the past, when several old men went to watch the game live, they would dress quite formally, but after being in contact with the NBA for a long time, they have also learned to integrate into the fan base. Now the old lady and others are all neatly equipped, which shows that they are determined to win this game.

"I heard that this game is broadcast in more than 100 countries, and the audience may be comparable to the World Cup final, you kid don't drop the chain!" The old lady looked at Xiao Feng who was not nervous at all, and couldn't help but say angrily.

Even if they lose this game, the Lakers still have a match point in their hands, and it will be enough to win the next game, so the outcome of the game is not the big picture. But for these old-fashioned old people, there is no way to lose face. The Lakers are unanimously favored by all parties in this game, and it will be a shame if they lose.

Therefore, before leaving, the old lady beat Xiao Feng well, lest he carelessly underestimate the enemy and capsize the boat in the gutter!

"I assured my grandfather. Definitely win the race!" Xiao Feng saluted a few old people in a funny way, and then jumped on his Audi A8 in a laugh.

Looking at Xiao Feng's childish performance, the old lady was also very relieved while shaking his head!

For several old people who are nearly ninety years old, they are used to seeing too many storms and human distortions, and their grandchildren still maintain a pure heart after being rich and rivaling the country, which is what makes them the most reassuring.

Over the years, many super-rich people in China have lost their way after making a fortune, and have finally been spurned by the people and history, and the scenery is no longer beautiful. Xiao Feng is the backbone of the 'Jinghu Group' and the Xiao family. He didn't become another person because of his great wealth, which is the greatest wealth.

At half past four in the afternoon, the Xiao family, who had simply eaten a simple meal, boarded the car collectively and went to the Staples Arena, and when the huge luxury convoy used the 'Dream Manor', the signal was faithfully transmitted by the camera to all corners of the world.

…………

In fact, when Xiao Feng was enjoying family fun in the 'Dream Manor', various promotions of 'Mamba Day' had begun one after another. With real-time documentaries, live reports, and interviews with various people, media from all over the world can be described as the Eight Immortals. Show your powers!

As the owner of the team and the core point guard, Xiao Feng's situation in 'Mamba Day' is actually the part that media reporters are most interested in, but Xiao Feng is not willing to expose the private life of 'Neverland' and his family to the public, so he declined the media's request to enter 'Neverland' to shoot and interview.

Media reporters were unable to enter the estate, so they had to squat at the door, following the luxury convoy of the Xiao family all the way to Staples Arena.

The Xiao family's motorcade marched down Beverly Hills Avenue. The other players also set off one after another, and ABC, which was broadcast live today, switched the real-time screen to the studio, and then played it after selection.

Today's game attracted the attention of more than 1 billion viewers, and the TV station naturally did not miss such a good opportunity, let alone broadcast the whole process. Even if there are a few more hours of live broadcast time, for the sake of the huge advertising costs, the TV station will also be out of the way.

For the audience and fans in front of the TV, today's live broadcast is very interesting, after all, I usually watch the football game, and I don't even see the warm-up, let alone the scene of the players leaving.

In football, some heavyweight matches are broadcast live from the time the team leaves the station, but this is the first time in basketball.

By the time the Xiao family's convoy arrived at Staples Arena, there had already been a large number of fans gathered here, many of whom were holding signs asking for tickets, but they were doomed to be in vain.

Xiao Feng, as the owner of the team, is naturally clear about the ticket sales for this game, and there are almost no scattered tickets outflow.

Since the Lakers lost Game 3, Game 5 sales have started right away, because this game is significant, and it's not just something that money can buy.

First of all, the priority sales of tickets are to the Lakers' VIP package owners, who have at least 10 years of experience in purchasing Lakers season tickets in order to be eligible. This is also a kind of feedback from the loyal fans of the Lakers, after all, the cornerstone of the Lakers is these lovely fans, and they are an important factor in the long-term success of the Lakers.

Of course, most of these veteran package owners are middle- and upper-income people in Los Angeles, who are either executives of multinational corporations or top researchers, doctors, lawyers, etc., and only they can afford the high ticket prices at Staples Arena year after year.

In today's finals, the lowest ticket price for the worst position of the top stand is also more than $1,500, which is not a small burden for ordinary wage earners. As for the price of those front-row seats, it is even more ridiculously high, $30,000, which is equivalent to the income standard of the American middle class.

In addition to veteran fans, other important audiences of this finals are Hollywood superstars, big directors, big producers, film company executives, bosses, and kings and queens of European and American pop music.

Since the Lakers moved to Los Angeles, these entertainment stars have become an inseparable part of the Lakers' history.

Since ancient times, there has been no separation between culture and sports, and sports stars are also a very important part of the audience of this finals, including Newcastle United, who just won the 'quadruple crown', Nadal, who won the 11th French Open crown, and other sports superstars also appeared on the stage to witness history!

In addition to these public figures, sponsors who have cooperated with the 'Mirror Lake Group' also received more than 10% of the tickets, and most of the audiences invited by these top sponsors are also well-known or influential figures around the world.

There are also quite a lot of public figures and super-rich people from China, after all, the Lakers' strong Chinese elements have made it a common home team in the minds of 1.4 billion Chinese people. Whether it is out of sincere support or for show, the characters who have won the stage in the Chinese cultural and sports circle will naturally not miss such an opportunity to be exposed.

Judging from the list obtained by Xiao Feng, today's Staples includes almost half of the essence of the Chinese entertainment industry, and iconic figures in the sports world, including Yao Da Da, Liu Feiren, Lina and other iconic figures, have also appeared.

The Xiao family's team drove into the underground parking lot of the stadium, and Xiao Feng hugged the children and let them enter the stadium stands through the VIP passage, while he had to go to the locker room to make final preparations for the game.

Kobe Bryant and Xiao Feng almost arrived at the locker room with their front and back feet, and the two of them didn't say anything, they bumped their fists with each other, and everything was silent!

Half an hour before the official start of the game, the players began to warm up, and the commentators of major TV stations began to introduce the various circumstances of the game to the audience.

The players warmed up on the field, and the live director took care of the players' warm-up at the same time, but also focused the camera on the stands, and the appearance of various superstars and big names made the live broadcast show have more highlights.

Some commentators sighed that perhaps in the future, the whole world will never see such a bright star in professional competitive competitions, and the huge influence of Kobe Bryant's retirement game can be imagined.

In the warm-up, James saw the big names in the stands who had great influence in their respective fields, and the envy in his heart was naturally not enough for outsiders.

After a clean loss in the fourth game, James was already uncertain about his future, and this year, he has reached seven championships in a row, but two championship rings are too pitiful.

When exactly will we be able to escape this tragic fate? )
