Chapter 1627: The Streets Are Empty, the Dynasty Is on Parade!
Ji Feng is so popular.
James definitely has the right to speak on this issue. After all, although he is now the general manager of Ji Feng Agency, he is no longer the down-and-out scout he was before. He also has dozens of people under his command to follow his orders. Walking on the street, He is definitely a successful person. Although everyone in the know knows that these are Ji Feng's industries, in the field of agents, James is now as famous as the famous basketball agent Paul Rich and has become a big player in the basketball market. At the beginning of this year, CAA offered a high salary of 10 million a year to poach him. Although he was declined by James, it is not difficult to see the change in James.
But he still personally handles all activities related to Ji Feng. All Ji Feng's business activities and endorsements in North America are handled by James personally, because he understands that the opportunity for his life to completely change begins with meeting Ji Feng. , and in the past few years, he had accumulated a deep relationship with Ji Feng, so it was naturally impossible for him to leave Ji Feng.
But this is a pain for James. After all, there are too many people who want to invite Ji Feng, and Ji Feng himself will not handle these things by himself, because he knows very well that besides basketball, Ji Feng , other things are just hobbies. For example, last year he invested 200 million U.S. dollars in a real estate business, which has now made him 400 million U.S. dollars. But Ji Feng has almost stopped asking about such a big business. , other things such as variety shows, etc., Ji Feng is even more lazy to pay attention to, so James has to deal with them.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ji Feng is the most popular celebrity in North America today. Every day, he receives hundreds of calls inviting Ji Feng to participate in various activities. Especially in the past two days, after winning the championship, Ji Feng actually disappeared from the public eye. disappeared, which further stimulated people's desire to invite Ji Feng.
So when Ji Feng was addicted to Wenrou Township and couldn't help himself, James hadn't had a good night's sleep for many days...
It’s not easy to be an agent!
Fortunately, Ji Feng had almost recovered after recuperating for two days, so he directly asked James to arrange the schedule for the next two or three days. Of course, in addition to brand activities such as UV and other endorsements, Ji Feng only chose The Jimmy Choo Show is the only variety show this offseason.
Of course, he has not forgotten his old friends. He rushed to perform FEAT for Avril Lavigne's new song, went to Usher's concert to be a guest, and also stopped by Ao Pang's newly opened gym station, and would also bring hot dogs with him at night. Bar attended parties organized by Kobe, Gasol and others, and even became a red carpet guest for the widowed sister...
From the 13th to the 16th, Ji Feng's life was spent in such busyness, and on June 17th, Lakers fans all over the world were once again gearing up for the much-anticipated championship parade.
The wealthy Lakers once again told the world that with money, you can really do whatever you want.
Because this was a dynasty parade, the scene was naturally much grander than the previous two years. With the permission of the Los Angeles City Government, this championship parade was specifically changed to start at 6 p.m.
Some people may be surprised by this time, but this time is also carefully designed, because this time allows Chinese fans to watch the entire championship parade without staying up late, and CCTV soon issued an announcement that they would also be the first in history. Once again, the entire championship parade will be broadcast live!
Not only that, changing it to night also has a special meaning. Of course, this needs to be revealed later.
The route is naturally different from previous years. This time the route covers almost all the important landmarks in Los Angeles, and even includes a walk in the park next to Santa Monica Beach, not to mention Hollywood and other places, so this is The journey lasted for two hours, starting from the Staples Center, then to the University of Southern California, and finally arriving at the Los Angeles Rose Bowl, the home of the Los Angeles Galaxy. The whole journey took three and a half hours!

That night, the championship parade once again refreshed people's worldview. Everyone who saw it sighed: "This is too awesome!"
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the championship parade officially began. The Lakers cheerleaders were at the forefront of the parade. They stood on a double-decker bus and were responsible for driving the parade atmosphere. Then came an 18-wheel truck-modified parade platform. The Lakers' championship float was carefully decorated. It is designed in a bright golden color, with the huge logo of the Lakers and the names of 12 players on it, and a large picture of the championship trophy on the front of the car.
Ji Feng, Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Fisher, Bynum, Artest and other players and their families stood on it, waving to the surrounding fans and frequently raising the championship trophy.
On the double-decker bus at the back, Lakers administrative officials and related people also participated in the parade, including team legendary stars "Magic" Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
What's even more exciting is that at the end there was an broadcast truck from China, where reporters from CCTV, Tencent, Zha Lang and other reporters were all broadcasting the entire championship parade, which was also the first of its kind.
Three extra-long double-decker buses drove out from Staples, kicking off the championship parade.
At this time, the lights were on, and the surrounding streets could only be described as a sea of people. Thousands of reporters from all over the world were among them, taking pictures of the entire Lakers team.

"We saw Ji Feng and his girlfriend, Miss Reba, kissing passionately. Wow, this is a kiss that belongs to a champion, with the aura of victory."
"The Lakers' bus is now passing through Hollywood Boulevard. This is the first time the championship parade has come here. There are many cartoon characters waving to the floats on both sides of the road. This is the intersection of two major business cards of Los Angeles."
"What is now in front of us is the famous California university Southern California. We can see a lot of people in school uniforms following the Lakers' float."
Following the host's words, the Lakers' teams drove past one stop after another. Tens of thousands of fans cheered enthusiastically along the way, and the camera shutters kept ringing. Fans along the way held various slogans, "Back-to-back championships", " Breaking away from O'Neal and completing the title defense"... a festive atmosphere. .
Because some Lakers fans rioted on the night of the Finals championship, the police also attached great importance to this parade and invested a lot of manpower to maintain order, including police helicopters patrolling the parade route.
All of this is courtesy of the highest standard.
Finally, three and a half hours later, the entire Lakers team arrived at the Rose Bowl, which was already filled with tens of thousands of fans. When the Lakers entered the stadium, they shouted: "We are the champions!"
Amid cheers all over the sky, Ji Feng also walked to the center of the court.
"Thank you to all the fans for your support, because without you, we would not be able to get where we are today. Thank you for your encouragement and support. This is our biggest motivation. Thank you! Give yourselves the applause!"
"We established a dynasty. Everyone knows that the Lakers are a team associated with a dynasty. We are champions, and we are always champions! But is a dynasty enough for us?"
Under Ji Feng's guidance, tens of thousands of Lakers fans at the scene shouted in unison: "Not enough! Not enough!"
"Yes, we will not be satisfied with three consecutive championships! We will continue to win. Next year, I will be here and continue to wait for you, just like I said last year and the year before!"
"Lakers! Lakers! Lakers!"
Ji Feng plunged the scene into madness, and at the same time, fireworks exploded around the venue, and millions of dollars turned into fireworks and lit up the entire Los Angeles!
