Chapter 368: Seeing the Sun
A feast needs a prelude, and the dialogue between Ruan Erniu and Kobe Bryant is the most exciting prelude. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The dialogue between the two supergiants is short and concise, but there is a sense of shock and thunder in a silent place.
Although the Hawks are not the big team that everyone expects, judging from the latest ratings, even if the Celtics really enter the Finals, they may not be as good as the Upper Atlanta Hawks.
The rating of 10.1 is second only to the Finals of the Lakers F4 and Pistons Five Tigers in '04, which is the highest value in 4 years.
You know, last year's Spurs and Cavaliers Finals ratings were only 6.2, and this rating was also the lowest in more than a decade.
And the Spurs and the Pistons?
Wrong, this is the flow of impressions again.
Facts have proved that the finals ratings of the Spurs and Pistons have reached 8.2, the so-called record low, which is not worth mentioning at all in front of the script of the little emperor being abused by Deng Du.
Why can the league agree to the Celtics forming BIG3 and the Lakers can rob Gasol?
No way, David Stern is forced to be in a hurry, the ratings can't go up, how can the league's business plan be promoted?
The NBA is a commercial league, and confiscating viewership means that there is no bargaining power with TV stations, which means that there are no more advertisers willing to buy layouts, and to be more concise, it means that there is no money!
The 07-08 season was a season in the history of the league that deserves to be written about, and this season has served as a legacy and a turning point.
And the root cause of all this is not the player's desire for a championship, but the internal motivation is only one word - money.
The management of the alliance is more and more fond of Kraft Nguyen, the Celestial Empire is by no means an undesirable supergiant, and his commercial value is underestimated.
Facts have proved that the fact that a Celestial Empire person led the team to compete for the championship not only did not hurt the feelings of the people of the United States, but also rekindled their desire to watch the game.
Data doesn't lie, why is Jordan the god of basketball?
Most importantly, he took the NBA to the world. So what are the finals ratings of the Bulls' six crowns?
15.8, 14.2, 17.9, 16.7, 16.8, 18.7, this set of terrifying data can tell everything.
In addition, the Bulls' sixth championship is also the highest-rated Finals in the history of the league.
Of course, times are different, and games that used to have to be watched in front of the TV can now be watched online.
But fans' crazy admiration for Michael Jordan can still be understood from these ratings.
In the league office in Los Angeles, Stern is discussing the continued promotion and momentum of the finals with Adam Xiaohua and Tan Huimin.
eliminated the Celtics, and the Hawks, as the biggest dark horse of the season, went all the way to the Finals.
And in the first two games of the Finals, they played with the Lakers, and almost all of them were decided at the last moment, which undoubtedly had a huge effect on increasing viewership.
David Stern looked at the latest report and said with a smile: "Tell us what you think. β
Adam Xiao Hua said: "Sir, the ratings are back above 10 points, which is a gratifying thing!
I think we can do a vote for the MVP you want on the official website. β
Stern pushed his glasses and thought, "It's kind of interesting, do you mean let the audience judge?"
But what if, the answer they give doesn't match our final answer?"
Tan Huimin added on the side: "No, the audience's choice is our choice." After all, only the strong are qualified to occupy the commanding heights, and our answers are the same.
Popularity is something that can change.
In the year of Kobe's accident, his popularity fell to the bottom, but with the two-time scoring champion, 81 points, MVP, he became the first person in the league again.
As for Kraft Nguyen, his stats must not be said more. This historic monster is destined to become one of the rulers of the Alliance. β
Stern nodded, "Do as you say." In addition, the referees don't need to pay special attention, and the audience wants to see a smooth game. The Eagles themselves are perhaps the biggest suspense. β
β¦β¦
On the evening of June 10, 2008, Los Angeles Staples Center, Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Lakers, Finals G3.
Under normal circumstances, the stadium can accommodate about 19,000 fans, and at present, it is very likely that there will be more than that. A full house is just a minimum.
But the crowd at the Staples Center is different from the crowd at Philips Arena, because the Lakers' home court has too many big names.
In terms of popularity in the front row, it is not at the same level at all.
Leonardo DiCaprio and his friend "Spider-Man" Tobey Maguire who have accompanied the Oscars to this day, Charlize Theron, the glamorous South African diamond, Rihanna, a black female singer who has won 6 Grammy nominations this year, and the eternal lake secret, the famous Hollywood actor - Jack Nicholson.
He was still wearing his trademark sunglasses, discussing something with his friends.
It is said that his schedule happens to be staggered with the Lakers, and I don't know if it's true or not.
Wait, who is this? He's on the wrong set, isn't he? It's the City of Angels, it's the Staples Center, it's not the Big Apple, it's not Madison Gardens.
When the camera showed the great director - Spike Lee, many people were amazed, did the hardcore Knicks fans also defect?
You know, like Nicholson, he's a die-hard fan.
By the way, he also co-produced the famous "Heads-up" with Denzel Washington and Ray Allen.
Jack Nicholson apparently also spotted Spike Lee not far away wearing that iconic hat.
Nicholson laughed and walked up to Spike Lee and said, "Hey, old man, have you finally decided to stay away from the damn Big Apple and go to the City of Angels completely? β
Spike Lee sneered, "Jack, shut your stinky mouth, stay there quietly, watch your game, I'm just here to cheer for my hometown team." β
After saying that, Spike Lee took out an Eagles jersey from the bag he was carrying, and the number on it was 88. It's still Erniu's jersey.
Not to mention the grievances of these two die-hard fans, the players of the two teams have officially entered the warm-up.
Van Exel's arms were exaggeratedly outstretched, as if he was embracing something.
Ruan Erniu also asked curiously, "Nick, what are you thinking?"
Fan Maniac actually said seriously: "I am reminiscing about the place where my dream began." β
"If I'm not mistaken, we were here twice during the regular season, once at the home of the Lakers and once at the home of the Clippers. β
Fan Maniac said: "This is different, the stage I am on is the finals. β
Erniu glanced at his mouth, ignored the madman who was suffering from hysteria, and began his warm-up.
I had just thrown two balls, and suddenly a voice came from the front row of the audience: "Erniu!"
It was Ruan Da Niu, and he also came with his fiancΓ©e, Fiona Gallag.
Due to the noisy sound at the scene and the fact that Erniu had to warm up again, Dr. Ruan just made a gesture to make a post-match phone call and ended the exchange.
The big war is about to break out, who can take the lead in the next city?
