Chapter 389: With the Great Teacher and Trading Goals

After the Western Conference finals, in order to leave the cusp, Yes has stayed in the supersonic training gym to scout the rookie.

After nesting in the supersonic training hall for half a month, the focus of public opinion outside finally moved away from him.

After half a month of three consecutive rounds of legendary playoffs, the heat finally began to decline slowly.

The Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns Finals are still underway.

After the media took the spotlight off Yes, the Finals between the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns finally returned to the top of NBA public opinion.

It's just that when the national media focused on the Celtics and Suns finals, a very embarrassing thing happened.

In this year's finals, the time to lose suspense is a little early.

The finals between the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns began on June 7, US time.

Because the Celtics bloodlessly killed the big dark horse wizards in the East, media experts are still very optimistic about the Celtics.

The Celtics are a defensive-minded team, while the Suns are an offensive-leaning team.

Although it seems that the sun is really much stronger.

But the iron law of defending to win championships still supports the Celtics' support.

While most of the expert media are more bullish on the Suns, most predictions are that the Suns will need seven games to beat the Celtics.

Such a prediction is basically no different from the five-five opening.

Maybe in the end, the Celtics can use their iron-clad defense to complete the counter-attack.

But the end result?

The time is now June 16, nine days after the finals begin.

Today will be the fifth game for the Celtics to host the Suns.

The NBA's Finals format is 2-3-2, the fifth game of the series and the Celtics' last home game of the Finals.

Ahead of today's game, the Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics were tied 3-1.

The Phoenix Suns have already got match point.

Moreover, in the NBA Finals, there has never been a team that can complete the comeback after falling behind 1-3.

The Celts, so to speak, are dead.

This is a rather surprising result.

In addition to the first game back at home, the Celtics took advantage of the Suns' unstable foothold to win a game.

The Boston Celtics lost all other games.

The Celtics also gave away championship points after losing their first home game in Game 4.

Finally, the media in the United States focused on the finals from Ye Si's body, and when they were ready to use the finals to drive newspaper sales and Internet clicks, looking at this big score, the media in the United States had an urge to die.

How can you bring this big score?

It's okay to not be able to bring it at all!

The east is too uncompetitive this year, right?!

Although in recent years, the alliance has always been strong in the west and weak in the east.

But in the 2006 Finals, the Heat still defeated the Mavericks with a weak victory.

In the 2005 Finals, the Pistons only lost 3-4 after an epic battle.

In the 2004 Finals, the Pistons beat the league's hottest F4 4 to 1 in the Finals.

Even if you go back to 2003, the Nets lost the Finals by a score of 2-4.

If the Celtics are really going to be killed 1-4 by the Suns, they will be the worst losers of the recent year.

The Celtic Fever's lineup is really not weak.

Not to mention that it must be better than the previous Pistons, it is better than the previous Heat and Nets, that is certain.

At the start of the season, after the Boston Celtics formed the Big Three, the Celtics were considered the strongest team in the league.

Although the Nets and the Heat are far inferior to their opponents in terms of strength, they can still maintain the suspense of the Finals in the first four games.

After the first four games of the finals in those two years, the big score was 2-2.

The national media, which focused on the NBA Finals, is now a little cry-free.

In the end, these media who wanted to cry without tears thought about it, and they were still Buddhas.

Let this year's finals continue to be cold.

In addition to media reporters across the United States, David Stern, the president of the league, also wanted to cry without tears.

And David Stern wants to cry more than these reporters and media.

Before this year's Finals begin, David Stern really has a lot of expectations for the Celtics and Suns in the Finals.

The main thing is that the ratings for this year's NBA playoffs are really good.

The first-round SuperSonics and Mavericks series set the highest first-round ratings in NBA history.

The ratings of the four games were all above 25%, and the ratings of the fourth game that sent the Mavericks out of the game created an average rating of 30%.

The average rating for the series of the first round of SuperSonics and Mavericks was 27.5%.

Not only is it the highest first-round rating in history, but it's also the highest rating in the playoffs.

The second round of the SuperSonics and Spurs series, although not as attracted by Yes playing the playoffs and Black Eight for the first time.

It's a bit of a drop in attracting passers-by, but the legendary matchup between Yes and Bowen has led to an average of 26% viewership for this series.

This round of the SuperSonics and Suns series in the division finals is still very well watched under the temptation that Yes may lead the team to the finals in his rookie season.

The average rating of 25.5% is also the highest in history for a divisional final.

For three consecutive rounds, the ratings have created the best in history, which really makes David Stern a little floaty.

Besides, there are other reasons for his drift.

In addition to the supersonic game, the ratings of other games are not low.

In the first round, the ugliest matchup should be the matchup between Celtics and Magic, right?

The matchup between Celtic and Magic was considered to have no suspense and nothing to watch from the start.

In the past, such a showdown, it was already good to have a rating of 5%.

Such games have been counted in the playoffs in previous years.

But this year, the ratings for the first round of the Celtics and Magic matchup were 12.5%.

Not the highest ratings, but the average ratings!

The ratings for the Celtics and Magic were the lowest of all eight sets of matchups in the first round.

But this is higher than the ratings of the finals in four of the last five years.

The Lakers and Pacers Finals rating in '02 was 12%.

The '03 Spurs and Pacers' Finals rating was 8.7%.

The Lakers and Pistons' Finals rating in '04 was 14.4%.

The Spurs and Pistons' Finals rating in '05 was 8.4%.

The Finals rating for the '06 Mavericks and Heat was 9.1%

Because of the overflow effect of Yes, the influx of NCAA fans and passers-by has made this year's NBA playoffs the best ratings in history.

As the most popular player in NCAA history, Yes's traffic is terrible.

Why are these media outlets in the United States chasing Yes so much?

That's why.

David Stern knows these media in the United States very well, and he can't afford to be early!

The media in the United States found that Jordan's negative news could drive traffic, and they would go crazy to create Jordan's negative news.

When the media in the U.S. find out that positive news about Yes can drive traffic, they will go crazy to create a perfect Yes.

These people have no discipline to speak of.

Either way, though, it's a good thing for the NBA.

Driven by Yes, this year's NBA playoffs have flooded with so many NCAA fans and passers-by, and in the face of so many sweet new NBA fans, David Stern certainly has reason to look forward to the ratings for the Finals.

David Stern even wondered if this year's Finals would be able to set a new Finals viewership record without Yes's participation.

David Stern really didn't feel that he was too demanding.

The 1998 Bulls and Jazz Finals viewership record was 18.7 percent.

In terms of ratings, it will not be in the top five in this year's playoffs.

The Rockets and Nuggets in the first round, the Wizards and Pistons in the second round, the Suns and Rockets in the second round, with the exception of the three series of SuperSonics, all of which surpassed the ratings of the 1998 Finals.

It stands to reason that the Celtics and Suns' finals will not be lower than the Rockets playing the Nuggets, the Wizards playing the Pistons, and the Suns playing the Rockets?

But the reality is so cruel.

In the four finals that have been played, the average rating is just over 15%.

15% of the ratings, in the first three rounds, I can't even get into the top ten!

In the fifth game, because the championship is likely to be decided, the ratings may rise, but it is unlikely to be too high.

It can be said that the ratings of this year's finals are around 15%.

The ratings for the Finals are not the highest in the playoffs, and this is not unheard of in the NBA.

It can even be said that there are quite a few.

In the past few years, the finals with the participation of the Spurs have not been the most watched.

But the finals ratings can't even get into the top ten, it's really never been.

This is quite an embarrassing situation for the league.

David Stern invited various big data institutions to make a professional research report on this situation.

There was only one reason for this, and with Yes leaving the playoffs, most of the NCAA fans followed suit.

That's millions, if not tens of millions!

Of course, although most of the NCAA fans left, some remained, which is why this year's Finals ratings broke 15%.

The 15% rating is already the highest since 1998.

If you don't look at the explosive ratings data of the first three rounds, just look at the data of the finals, David Stern should actually be satisfied.

It's just clear that such data is not so satisfactory right now.

In the finals without the blessing of Yes, not only in the ratings, but also in the discussion of the network and the media, it has dropped by more than one level.

Originally, 15% of the finals were already the best in the past few years, but it actually gave people a feeling that the finals were cold.

It's very worrying.

At Yes' mid-lake villa, Yes is watching TV, which shows the fifth game of the Celtics and the SuperSonics.

Now at halftime, the Phoenix Suns have a 55-48 lead.

With a 3-1 lead and a 7-point lead at halftime, the Celtics couldn't solve the offense of Nash and the Suns, which made this round of the Finals lose suspense early.

"Yes, public opinion in the United States has been discussing the cold situation of this year's finals recently."

This year's finals are really not exciting.

Ye Si ignored Wang Han's words.

Of course, he knew what Wang Han meant.

Without him, the NBA Finals would be cold?

There may be such reasons, but not all.

It's mainly about the content of the game.

The first two games between Celtics and Suns.

The scores were 126-106 and 121-100.

In the first two games against the Boston Celtics, the Suns, who were playing at home, beat the Celtics by 20+ in two consecutive games.

In these two games, the Celtics are not unprepared, and they are also well prepared for the Suns.

It's just that Boston Celtics head coach Doug Reaves has gone awry.

He's still the guy who can win championships defensively.

I came up desperately trying to press the rhythm.

There is no problem with a strategy to press the tempo.

But the key is who executes this strategy.

The two positions with the highest pressure tempo on the court are center and point guard.

The center of the Celtics is Perkins, and the point guard is rookie Allan Lei.

What does Perkins do to press the rhythm? Does he have the ability to hit back? Does he have strong singles?

Point guard Allan Ray is this year's rookie and a pretty good ball-handling shooter point guard.

A few dribbles from beyond the three-point line are his hallmarks.

Allan Ray shot more three-pointers than he did from the field.

He shot 40 percent from three-point range and 38 percent from three-point range.

Can such a player suppress the rhythm?

This is obviously a good player with rhythm!

When Allan Ray helped the Suns get the rhythm up, it was a desperate moment for Perkins and for the Celtics to despair anymore.

Thankfully, Dough Reaves wasn't a pedantic either.

Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately took Perkins off the starting position, and no longer shouted 'defense wins championships' during interviews.

After putting Garnett in the center position and promoting Tony Allen to the starter, the Celtics sacrificed Garnett, Tony Allen, Pierce, Ray Allen and Allan Ray to win a game with difficulty in the outbreak of the Big Three.

But the Celtics still need to face Nash and can't solve the problem, the team has no traditional point guard, the team and the Suns play against each other, and there is a lack of offensive routines.

Therefore, the last game Celtics simply lost after facing the Suns who had adapted to it.

Fortunately, after the first two games, the third game that the Celtics lost was not so ugly.

In this championship game, the Suns won 114-106 in the end, and the Celtics still didn't lose ugly.

4 to 1!

The Phoenix Suns won their first championship trophy in franchise history by defeating the Boston Celtics on the road.

Nash also won the Finals MVP trophy with 32.5 points and 8.5 assists per game.

Look at the Suns players on TV holding the championship trophy alof.

Looking at the TV who was crying and kissing the Finals MVP trophy in his hand.

Ye Si's face was dark.

And Wang Han next to him was moved.

"Yes, the Suns players are now wearing the 'With the Big Teacher' championship T-shirts thank you!"

“……”

The finals are over.

The NBA2006-2007 season has officially come to an end.

The next day, Yes received a call early in the morning from the team's general manager, Presti.

"Yes, the Lakers invited us to join the trade with the Nets!"
