As with all high-profile sporting events in the world, before the NBA playoffs begin, experts, journalists, celebrities, players and coaches from all walks of life will more or less predict the outcome of the upcoming game, and in the case of the Los Angeles Lakers game alone, there are as many as 57 predictions published in the Los Angeles media, not to mention other teams across the United States.

There are not tens of thousands of predictions, some of which are accurate, some of which are not, and although basketball games are not as big as football accidents, there are still some underdogs, and the predictions will always have some luck in the ......

Especially in the NBA playoffs, the strength of the teams is very strong, and there have been many black eight miracles in history, and it is very difficult to predict the score of a best-of-7 game.

This time, however, there was a phenomenon that surprised everyone's eyes, the first round of the series was played for one round, and someone predicted all the wins and losses of all the eight series, and also predicted the score of one of the live broadcasts......

At first, no one noticed, but as the playoffs progressed, more and more people discovered this fact, and as the game progressed, it became clear that all the other predictors were gradually showing various inaccuracies, and only one person's prediction form was still accurate......

Late at night, at ESPN's headquarters, CEO Michael Dawson was about to leave work when he was stopped by Haven Vicente, the manager of the promotion department.

"Harvin, what can't we talk about tomorrow? I'm going home to eat with the kids. ”

"Mr. Dawson, I'm sorry, I have to tell you, our NBA live ratings have dropped again~~" Harvin Vicente said in frustration,

"It's down again, you mean the one that just ended? Is there a 0·1 drop by how much? Michael Dawson wrinkled his forehead like railroad tracks, what's going on, the ratings have dropped by 0.24 percentage points in the first half of the playoffs, which means they have lost nearly 500,000 viewers.

"No...... Not only that, but it dropped by 0.31 percentage points at the end of the day......" Haven Vicente said with a deep breath.

"What? Just a game? "ESPN's CEO Michael Dawson opened his mouth wide, how could it be, in just one day they lost 600,000 loyal viewers? How is this possible?

"Yes, the time when we saw the biggest drop in viewership was when we were in halftime, because we all thought the Suns were going to win the home game, but the Pirates were thinking the Spurs were going to win, and it was a big win...... They got it right," explains Harvin Vicente, who broadcasted the same game on both sides, but the quality of the ball was different.

"It's just a game, why would this happen?" Michael Dawson didn't understand the situation at all, there will always be something wrong with the game commentary, how can the audience's preferences be changed because of the result of a game?

"That's not the case, do you know that Li Xiaole on the Pirate TV side of Ludao didn't predict the outcome of a series before? He's still 100 percent right...... It's already making a splash among fans...... Mr. Dawson, should we change the number of games broadcast in the future, not the same number of games broadcast as Pirate TV......"

Harvin Vicente trembled and said, now he has been made creepy by Li Xiaole, they have an agreement with the four major TV networks at the beginning, try to stagger each other's broadcast times, ESPN because it is second only to NBC in sports ratings, so it is the most popular broadcast time, and Pirate TV is also the most popular game, so the two TV stations naturally formed a conflict......

This has directly led to the recent big decline in ESPN's ratings, and in just two games, they have lost nearly 1 million viewers, all because of Pirate TV, as long as they are avoided, the situation will be much better~~

"What did you say!? Are you asking me to clash with the big four TV networks in order to avoid a little Chinese god? ESPN's CEO Michael Dawson looked at his subordinates and said with a smile:

"Okay Vicente, put away your stupid idea, this kind of prediction that is correct in a row is indeed eye-catching? But will he always be right, as long as he gets a mistake, those viewers will abandon him. ”

Michael Dawson felt that some of his subordinates were making a fuss, just a layman's prediction, although it could attract attention temporarily, but when he was wrong, those audiences would naturally return.

Seeing that his boss was a little angry, Harvin Vicente didn't dare to say anything more, but he was panicking at the moment...... Li Xiaole didn't just predict the outcome of the game, he even predicted the Lakers' Kobe Bryant's magical performance of 49 points in the second game of the series...... Is this also accidental......?

At the same time, in the studio of the pirate TV station, everyone was rejoicing, clapping hands to each other in celebration: "Ha~! The ratings have broken 3~~ This is simply amazing, 3.6 million people watched our show tonight~""It's a new record again~! Wen Tao, your explanation is so exciting~! How do you know that Kobe Bryant will score 49 points tonight, you are simply amazing. ”

Although the 3 percent rating is still far worse than the 9-12 percent ratings of ESPN and the four major TV networks, the Pirate Sports Department is now in a high spirit, and you must know that just a week ago, their ratings were only a pitiful 1 percent......

This made the whole sports group very excited, is Li Xiaole not only a director, but also a basketball game analysis master? Is his reasoning really so amazing?

Of course, Li Xiaole will not add all the aura to himself, although the NBA does not have any interference in gambling, so his prediction will not have any impact on the outcome of the game, but once all the miracles are added to him, then it will seem that everything is too magical, but it will cause too much speculation.

So in the details of the game, he asked Xu Wentao to help him tell the player's data, so that they would be much more natural to sing together, and he didn't want people to think that he had any surreal ability......

In fact, he doesn't remember too many games in this series, because he is a fan of Kobe Bryant, and he only remembers Kobe's data, so the Pirate station will broadcast more Lakers games, and if he broadcasts other teams, he will be a little less confident......

With the progress of the game, after Li Xiaole completely predicted 16 games, major basketball-related forums have completely fallen into this topic.

"It's strange, this director really predicted correctly, I thought the Suns would win this game, but they still lost, this guy is really a super crow's mouth~!? Is our team really going to be eliminated? ”

"Did you watch the pirate station live...... The commentator named Xu Wentao actually said in the middle of the game that Kobe Bryant might score about 50 points in this game...... As a result, Kobe Bryant really scored 49 points, and I was really scared after watching it...... Do Chinese all know fortune telling!? ”

"Ridiculous, what kind of prediction is this, he just said casually, these games are not difficult to guess, I guessed 6 games correctly, this director is just guessing blindly."

In fact, this prediction does not explain anything, because the current game is still very different, only a few games are more suspenseful, most people can guess a few games correctly, Li Xiaole is just lucky......

But just when most people thought so, as the game progressed, when more than 40 playoff games were over, everyone looked at the results and found out in amazement...... This result turned out to be exactly the same as the result predicted by Li Xiaole at the press conference at the beginning......

Everyone's jaws fell to the ground, oh my God...... Does this guy really know how to deduce, you have to know that this is not a prediction of which team is the right team to win, and more importantly, even the big score of the series is predicted correctly...... It's amazing~~

Soon, some netizens found out Li Xiaole's deeds in England, and posted to prove it: "Li Xiaole is not exaggerating, modern deduction really exists~~~ When he was in the UK, he magically reasoned about the fact that 5 Premier League coaches were out of class~~!" ”

When countless people reposted this short message on Facebook, netizens searched Google for Li Xiaole's "glorious deeds" in sports competitions, and many people began to exclaim:

"It's amazing, this data deduction method can actually deduce the results of the competition~~ How did he do it?"

"Dude, we're already preparing to offer this course in college, and when I learn it, I'll tell you that Kobe Bryant's state this year is really good...... I predict he should make it through the second round......"

When everyone began to feel that Li Xiaole slowly exuded the mysterious aura of those Chinese fortune tellers, more and more fans changed their positions, and many hoped that he could deduce the results of the next round.

On Facebook, countless netizens are leaving messages, hoping that Li Xiaole can teach everyone this modern deduction method, how to analyze the game situation, of course, everyone is most concerned about the state of their favorite players.

And there are many people who still think that all this is a conspiracy, a hoax orchestrated by NBA Chairman David Stern and Li Xiaole, and the Wall Street Times published an article on this to expose:

"In the past, it was always felt that the league controlled the course of the game through the referees, but no one could prove it...... But now we can believe that the chairman of the league, David Stern, has indeed been doing such a thing, and he told Li Xiaole the results of the game, so that he can create such a prediction phenomenon and create a gimmick, so that the NBA can be on the social page again and continue to expand its influence in the world. ”
