Chapter 391 Defending the Premier League champions, meeting James for the first time (transitional chapter)
On May 5, the final round of the Premier League kicked off.

In this round, Manchester City sits at home to face the challenge of Southampton.

Due to Chelsea's unexpected loss to West Bromwich Albion in the last round, Manchester City won the championship one round ahead of schedule.

So before the start of the game, the officials of the FA came to the Etihad Stadium with the league championship trophy, preparing to present the awards to Manchester City after the game.

In other words, no matter how well Manchester City played in this game, it will not affect the outcome of their championship.

Therefore, Guardiola continued to rotate the main players, and still arranged a large number of substitute and rotation players to play.

And Yaya Toure, Lampard, Demichelis, the veterans who are about to leave the team, still qualified for the starting game in this game.

The magic lamp Lampard continued his outstanding performance in the previous game, opening the scoring in the 38th minute of the first half to help Manchester City take the lead.

Aguero, who came on as a substitute in the second half, scored the second goal for Manchester City in the 88th minute. In the end, Manchester City beat their opponents 2-0 at home and drew a perfect end to the season.

After the competition, the on-site staff quickly began to get busy, preparing to build the podium for the next award ceremony.

By the time City's players reappeared on the pitch in new kits, the podium was almost complete.

The FA officials waited around the podium with the trophy, smiling and shaking hands with the Manchester City players queuing up to present the award.

This is Manchester City's third Premier League title. Since the 2011-2012 season staged a miracle to win the league title for the first time, in the past four years, Manchester City has won three Premier League titles unknowingly.

Even in the year when they didn't win the championship, their final result was runner-up.

Such outstanding results made the world realize that a brand new wealthy family is slowly rising.

And this giant is likely to rule the Premier League just like Manchester United back then.

However, what outsiders don't know is that Manchester City's vision is not just satisfied with a league title.

Their ambition is to become the top team in Europe like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern.

To achieve this goal, it is obviously not enough to rely on a few league titles, they need to win more Champions League titles!

……

Just when Manchester City won the league championship at home, in other arenas, the life of several traditional giants in the Premier League was not easy.

At the Britannia Stadium in Stoke City, after the game, looking at the bright red 6:1 number frozen on the scoreboard, Liverpool's legendary captain Gerrard, who has played for the team for nearly 20 years, couldn't help but feel relieved sigh.

This was his last game for Liverpool in this red jersey.

I wanted to bid farewell with a victory, but I didn't expect that Liverpool, who had lost their morale, collapsed in the first half.

From the first goal scored by the opponent in the 22nd minute of the game until the end of the first half, Stoke City scored five goals in succession, which stunned the entire Liverpool team.

Although Liverpool launched a counterattack in the second half and Gerrard scored a goal himself, he was still powerless.

At the last moment of the game, with Gao Lao Crouch's header once again breaking through the goal of Liverpool, Gerrard's curtain call in Liverpool turned into a tragedy, which has to be embarrassing.

At the Emirates Stadium, another long-lost veteran giant Arsenal is here.

At the end of the game, Wenger clenched his fists excitedly and couldn't help but waved them fiercely.

Walcott's game finally broke out!
He scored a hat-trick in the first half, showing his talents to the fullest.

In addition to Walcott, Wilshere and others performed very well.

Winning this game, Arsenal secured third place in the league.

This time, the four-guaranteed maniac not only successfully secured the fourth, but also improved his ranking by one, so he doesn't have to play in the Champions League qualifiers next year.

In addition, what makes Wenger most excited is that they will soon go to Wembley Stadium to play the FA Cup final.

With Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and many other giants being eliminated one after another, their opponent is the weaker Aston Villa.

This is Arsenal's best chance in 11 years. As long as they beat Aston Villa, they can end their 11-year history of no championships!

Wenger seems to have seen the FA Cup champion waving to him, how can this not be exciting, how can it not be exciting?
Hull City's home court, Manchester United, which spent huge sums of money at the beginning of the season, ended all their games this season with a chaotic and bad game.

At the beginning of the season, they declared that they would avenge Manchester City and regain the top spot in the Premier League. Their final result was fixed at No.4 in the league.

This result is a little bit better than last year, at least next year I will be able to play in the Champions League.

However, spending such a high price to buy someone, but only getting such results, how can this be satisfactory?

And Di Maria, who joined the team with a transfer fee of 7500 million euros but performed sluggishly, naturally received the biggest criticism.

In this game, he was replaced after only 23 minutes. The cold and wet weather in Britain and the brutal fouls in the Premier League made him in poor form.

Di Maria felt extremely regretful in her heart, she should not have come to Manchester United in the first place.

After wasting a year at Manchester United, he missed his time in Madrid immensely.

Thinking of this, Di Maria made up his mind that he would submit a transfer application and leave Manchester United.

As long as the offer is not for a Premier League team, no matter where you go!
Di Maria was not the only one who had to leave. After the game, Manchester United's board of directors couldn't wait to announce the dismissal of Van Gaal and let the Dutch pack up and leave.

After the dismissal of Van Gaal, Manchester United immediately sent an invitation to Mourinho.

Mourinho, who was unemployed at home, accepted the invitation immediately without hesitation, and the two sides signed a contract quickly.

Perhaps no one would have imagined that Mourinho, who had fought against Ferguson in the league, would one day take over at Old Trafford and become the coach of Manchester United, right?

……

The noise outside has nothing to do with Manchester City. After the league ended, Guardiola gave the players three days off, allowing them to have a good rest and share the joy of winning the championship with their relatives and friends.

After they have rested, Manchester City will regroup and prepare for the Champions League final on June 6.

It's a rare holiday, and Lin Quan doesn't want to stay at home and be tortured by the cold and humid weather in Manchester.

So I bought a plane ticket to the United States, ready to see Lily Collins.

Lily Collins was very surprised by Lin Quan's sudden visit.

She just watched the live broadcast of Manchester City's game yesterday, and saw Lin Quan and his teammates holding up the championship trophy. She didn't expect that the other party would appear at her door the next day.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, it's like rain meeting after a long drought, firewood meeting a raging fire...

……

Cleveland, May 5.

In Game [-] of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers played against the Hawks at home.

Since the Cavaliers had already won the match point 3:0 before, if the Cavaliers win this game, they will sweep their opponents and advance to the NBA Finals.

Affected by this, countless Cavaliers fans flocked to Cleveland, a relatively small city, filling the Cavaliers' stadium to the brim.

Before the game, the fans found two familiar figures among the more than 2 people.

"Isn't that Lin Huang from the Premier League? Why did he come to watch the NBA?"

"Who is that woman next to Emperor Lin? She looks like Audrey Hepburn!"

"I know this woman, she seems to be called Lily Collins, she seems to be Emperor Lin's girlfriend!"

"It seems that there is such a thing. Back then, she went to the stadium to watch Lin Huang play."

After being reminded like this, more and more people reacted.

"Damn, Huang Lin is really a winner in life. He has honor, money and women. I'm so envious!"

"I don't feel as good as Ronaldo. Ronaldo changes girlfriends at the same speed as he changes clothes, and all of his girlfriends are supermodels, and they are very good in terms of body shape and appearance!"

……

Lin Quan and Lily Collins, who were in the stadium, naturally couldn't see the discussion of netizens.

The game hasn't started yet, and the two of them are discussing something in a low voice.

"Who do you think will win?"

Lily Collins asked with a hint of a school test.

Because of studying abroad in the United States, she watched basketball more than football.

Therefore, she still has some understanding of basketball.

As for Lin Quan, Lily Collins felt that he was a football player, so he might not know much about basketball.

"The Cavaliers and the Hawks couldn't restrain James, especially James' triple-double of 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists in Game [-] broke their confidence even more.

You see, before the game even started, the Eagles players looked dignified and serious, while the Cavaliers players looked relaxed. "

Because of his height, although Lin Quan doesn't often play basketball, he still occasionally watches basketball games.

As for this game, he remembers that the Cavaliers swept the Eagles with a big score, and then they entered the finals and were sanctioned by the Warriors.

Lily Collins is actually more optimistic about the Cavaliers, but she knows that in a game of this level in the Eastern Conference Finals, the probability of 4:0 is very low.

Even if the Cavaliers are very strong, it is difficult to seal an opponent. What's more, the Eagles have a better record than the Cavaliers in the regular season, so they may not have the power to fight.

However, after the game started, the situation was completely one-sided.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers have already achieved a huge lead of 12 points.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers became more courageous and expanded their lead to 17 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the score had become 85:60, and the Cavaliers extended their lead to 25 points.

The fourth quarter has not yet started, and the game has already entered garbage time.

The desperate Eagles failed to perform a miracle in the fourth quarter, and finally lost to the Cavaliers 88:118 and were swept away.

After the game, the fans of the Cavaliers were extremely excited. They once again broke into the finals and were able to attack their first championship in team history.

After the game, some fans who recognized Lin Quan came to ask him for his autograph.

Although football is not the most popular sport in North America, there are still a lot of people watching it.

As the hottest superstar in football today, Lin Quan is still very well-known in North America.

Because too many people left the stadium, they couldn't get out for a while, so Lin Quan didn't refuse, and patiently signed autographs for these North American fans.

On the other side, as the biggest contributor to the victory, James was also surrounded by a large number of fans asking for his autograph.

He enjoys this feeling of being respected and loved. After all, he betrayed Cleveland in pursuit of the championship. Now that he returns to the team, what worries him most is that the Cavaliers fans will not forgive him.

Fortunately, such fears did not come true, especially after he led the Cavaliers to the Finals again, and he once again became a hero in Cleveland.

However, after signing and signing, James found that something was not right.

Why are there so few fans around him?

It stands to reason that he shouldn't be surrounded by water?

James looked around suspiciously, and soon found Lin Quan surrounded by a large group of people.

"Who is that person who has attracted so many fans?"

James was taken aback, walked over curiously, and then recognized who the surrounded man was.

"You are, Lin?"

Although James does not love football as much as Kobe, his attention to the world's number one sport is not low at all.

Even he himself bought a part of Liverpool's shares with money a few years ago, and got a lot of money for it.

It is also because of his investment in Liverpool that James often watches Premier League games, so he immediately recognized the besieged person as Lin Quan.

Lin Quan also found James walking towards him, so he greeted him:

"Hey LeBron, congratulations on the win!"

"Hehe, thank you, I also want to congratulate you for winning the league championship!"

Although the friendship between the two is not very deep, as super giants in football and basketball, they have been friends for a long time.

James enthusiastically led Lin Quan to visit the Cavaliers' training ground, locker room and honor showroom, and presented Lin Quan with a basketball and a jersey signed by him.

Lin Quan gave the other party a jersey and football with his autograph in return.

After the visit, James extended an invitation to Lin Quan:
"Lin, here are the tickets for the finals, I hope to see you here again!"

There are several games to be played in the NBA Finals, and if the time drags on for a long time, it may take half a month.

This is different from football finals, which are basically a game to determine the outcome.

"Okay, I will definitely come over when I have time, and here I wish you and your team a successful start and win the championship trophy!"

"Haha, thank you for your blessings, I also wish you success in defending your title and winning your second Champions League trophy!"

James laughed, looking confident.

Seeing James' confident look, Lin Quan couldn't help but sigh for him.

The Warriors this season are not so easy to deal with. James, who wants to be the hero of Cleveland, is likely to be disappointed.

However, this has nothing to do with him, what he has to do is to seize the opportunity that belongs to him.

So after the two took a group photo, they separated from each other and walked towards their respective stages.

Lin Quan didn't stay in North America for long, and returned to Manchester City as soon as the three-day holiday arrived, and began to prepare for the Champions League ten days later.
