This report bothered the chairman of the league, David Stern, who did not know what he would do before recruiting Li Xiaole, and reporters tried to ask David Stern if he was colluding with Li Xiaole, which made David Stern furious:

"I don't understand, why would you say that the league operates the game, if from a business point of view, all of our games should be played to Game 7, but the Pirate Channel broadcast the game that the Lakers won 4-0, doesn't that show our innocence?"

In this case, whether people's attitude is to believe or doubt, whether the public thinks that Li Xiaole is a master of reasoning or just a liar with a comparison of luck, "Li Xiaole directs NBA games" and "Li Jesus predicts the future" and so on are called the hottest topics nowadays.

Now all the NBA teams that have not been eliminated, no player dares to ridicule Li Xiaole as a joke like at the beginning, they are afraid that they will be the loser of the next round of Li Xiaole's prediction.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who won the first round of the playoffs, even invited Li Xiaole to become their official representative, and before each game of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant will make a "camera" camera action on the commentary seat, and Li Xiaole also responded with the same action, and then Kobe Bryant smeared magnesium powder in his palm and rushed over to give Li Xiaole a loud high-five, and fans jokingly called this opening ceremony "movie nerd opening".

In contrast, LeBron James, another superstar known for throwing magnesium powder before the game as a "signature action", quietly gave up his pre-game action, but when the reporter asked him, "James, why don't you do that".

The Cavaliers' star answered: "I want to put all my energy into the game, I want to win, it's important for us......"

Although the superstar said it was very high-sounding, everyone knew that he was afraid that he would anger Li Xiaole at this time...... Let this Li Jesus "say defeated" him, after all, in this kind of thing, everyone would rather believe what he has than believe what he has not......

On the other hand, the eliminated players hated Li Xiaole's crow's mouth, and the Rockets star McGrady scolded Li Xiaole on his Facebook: "This liar who curses us~!" He affected the form of all of us, otherwise we wouldn't have lost to the Jazz~! ”

Another significant change is that Xu Wentao, the game commentator who has been unknown to the pirates, has suddenly become a popular figure, and many fans like him very much, because the commentator next to Li Xiaole is very accurate when explaining the game, if Li Xiaole is responsible for predicting the outcome of the game, then this Xu Wentao can sort out the details of the technique in every game in an orderly manner.

Xu Wentao himself has been very surprised in the past few days, because there are already 4 TV stations that want to poach him, and even ABC, a giant in the TV industry, has expressed interest in him, hoping that he can break the contract to join ABC's sports group.

Although Xu Wentao was very flattered, he didn't have the slightest idea of leaving the pirate station at all, not because he didn't love money, but because many aspects of the details of his explanation of the technique were drafted by Li Xiaole, he knew it completely in his heart, don't look at so many TV stations to poach him, but as long as he leaves Li Xiaole, he is not bullshit......

In such an atmosphere, as the NBA playoffs continued, Li Xiaole's continued predictions came true without exception, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who promoted him as a representative figure, won a series of games.

After eliminating the Nuggets 4-0 in the first round, they eliminated the Jazz of Utah in the Western Conference semifinals, and what surprised everyone even more was that after Li Xiaole predicted that they would beat the championship favorites Spurs 4-1 in the Western Conference finals, the Lakers really came out of their power to beat the defending champion with a score of 4-1.

Wow~~! Wow~! Wow~! Who would have thought that the Los Angeles Lakers, who have been languishing in the playoffs in the past few seasons, would have such a brave performance~!? You must know that this ball is considered by many to be useless except for Kobe......

Many people began to think that this Li Xiaole did not learn the mysterious feng shui art of the East, so he helped the Lakers to win, and it has been circulated among the people that "Li Xiaole placed a tank of goldfish on Kobe's table, and let the star shine in this series", which made the business of Chinese feng shui fortune tellers on the local streets of Los Angeles surpass those constellation fortune tellers for the first time......

Of course, the ratings of the pirate TV station NBA live broadcast and sports programs are rising, and by the time the East and West finals were won in June, they had reached a rating of 6 percent, catching up with the FOX and sports supremacy ESPN among the four major TV stations, making NBC, a leading boss, feel more and more uneasy......

The four major TV networks originally believed that with the sports ratings of Pirate TV, which was less than 1% in the United States, it would not be able to afford the broadcast of a large-scale game like the Olympic Games, but now the situation is completely different, and all public opinion has been directed to the Pirate Station...... In just two months, their ratings have come close to ESPN......

The four major television networks suddenly realized ...... In this case, perhaps Pirate TV really has the ability to exclusively broadcast live Olympic matches.

Michael Dawson, the CEO of ESPN, slapped the table at a television conference and shouted, "Can you tell us why our ratings have dropped from 9 percent to 7 percent?" This quarter, we lost $36.78 million in advertising dollars~!! ”

Everyone was silent, everyone knew the answer, but they didn't dare to say it, because it was Michael Dawson who insisted on broadcasting the same game as the Pirate Channel, which led to the ratings crash.

"Don't speak for anything! Tell me, what else do you have? Michael Dawson asked the silent subordinate with a cold face.

Everyone was silent, and many people looked at the manager of the marketing department, Haven Vicente, who was the only one in this room who dared to tell the truth, and Haven Vicente had no choice but to stand up and suggest:

"Mr. Dawson, the situation is irreparable, and it seems to me that I should immediately negotiate with Pirate TV for the distribution rights of the Olympic Games, so that we can avoid further losses."

"......" Michael Dawson had a gloomy face and was silent, he knew that what Harvin Vicente said was right, and the excellence of this subordinate was that he did not hold him accountable, but directly proposed a solution, which did not give him a step to go down.

"Okay, just do as you say......" Michael Dawson sighed and turned to look at Haven Vicente: "Vicente, do you think that Li Xiaole will accept our proposal?" ”

"As long as he's okay with his brain, he'll accept it." Haven Vicente nodded affirmatively and stated the reason why he was so confident:

"Although Pirate TV has now gained 7 million sports viewers, this is still far from his target audience of 1835000000 per cent, not to mention that there are so many games in the Olympic Games, and Pirate TV has only one channel, so they can't digest so many live games......"

"What if that Li Xiaole insists on going his own way?" Michael Dawson pressed on the film's unpredictable style, and he was likely to be stupid...... Let the Pirate Stations independently undertake the coverage of the Olympic Games.

"Of course they may do it, but if they do, they will be under very much pressure from public opinion, which can lead to a credibility crisis." Haven Vicente explains:

"You know, many of the Olympic games are played at the same time, and the pirate stations can only selectively broadcast live, but once they miss the gold medal event of the American team when they broadcast, and they want to choose the losing event for live broadcast, then they will be attacked by sports fans all over the United States, and in this regard, those sports fans are very extreme, and they can't stand not seeing the live broadcast of the gold medal ......"

In previous years, NBC's broadcasts were broadcast on 5 different channels at the same time, and viewers were free to choose what they liked, but this time Pirate TV had only one channel, so it became the biggest problem for them to broadcast those games.

Once you miss the game where the United States won the gold medal, the audience will be extremely angry, and the pressure of public opinion on the pirate TV station will discourage advertisers, and no matter how high the ratings are, it will become a negative effect on the brand.

"Okay, let's send a purchase contract to Pirate TV and ......give them the price NBC at the price in previous years," Michael Dawson finally nodded, gritting his teeth and saying that they really made this little pirate station ......

ESPN is not the only one that has seen the situation clearly, the big four networks have already learned that there is no point in isolating Pirate TV now, and all they have to do now is to get a piece of the pie before the Olympics so that they can also alleviate the lost viewership share in NBA games.

They all firmly believe that Li Xiaole will not be stupid enough to think that the channel of Pirate TV can carry the entire Olympic Games, right?
