The Eastern and Western playoffs are in full swing, and two days later, most teams have already made their playoff debuts.

In the East, the results of the debuts were similar to what everyone expected, with three of the four teams in the top half winning their first games, and judging by the scoreline, the victory was not particularly difficult.

The only team to go below is the Boston Celtics. Although the Big Three have gradually aged, Rondo's strong rise has given the Celtics more chips to go further in the playoffs.

After a difficult victory, the Celtics won this away game, and at the same time won the home advantage of this round of the series, psychologically, the elite old fritters of this team have properly gained the upper hand.

As for the West, the situation is basically the same, and the teams that are supposed to win have won all the games that should be won in public opinion, and the results cannot be said to be very surprising.

And in these eight games, the biggest point difference is the Kings away to the Thunder.

"Game 2 of the series is about to start, are you all ready?"

This time, ESPN did not put the studio directly on the Thunder's home court, but focused more on another set of topic matchups in the West - the eternal bull and horse battle scene.

The live broadcast signal in the energy arena was connected to the Spurs' home court, and there was a certain gap between the start times of the two games, so fans can take a look at the first half of the game between the Thunder and the Kings, and Albert and Reggie Miller will commentate on the Spurs' home court. Wait until the bull-horse war starts, and then cut the signal over.

This is the tactic that American television often uses when faced with multiple topic battles in a single day:

Set up a commentary station at the game site with more topicality and better viewing to conduct a live broadcast. At the same time, the footage of another relatively inferior game was transmitted to the commentators in real time, as well as to the TV screens of sports fans across the United States.

In this way, the commentator can complete the "remote commentary" and choose the game screen to be explained at any time according to the game situation. The strong dialogue here is broadcast live, and any new changes, real-time data, and results of another game over there can be broadcast as soon as possible.

What's more, a few years ago, when Chen Mu and LeBron competed for the season scoring title in the last game of the regular season, the TV station even made a picture-in-picture effect of the two games. Wherever the battle is more intense, whoever scores more explosively, will magnify the picture of whom. Switching back and forth, timely feedback, and achieved quite wonderful ratings.

Now that this trick has been used again, the TV station has no intention of making a picture-in-picture at all.

"I know that the Thunder and Kings fans must have some complaints. Reggie and I, why don't we go to the Thunder's home court today and continue to broadcast that topic battle? ”

Albert is worthy of being a veteran commentator, in the scene over there, the Thunder and Kings are warming up, and Albert here will hurry up and wash the floor of the owner unit first.

"We can understand the feelings of the Thunder and Kings fans, but the first game of the Bull and Horse Wars was far more exciting than we imagined. Originally thought it would be a series of strong and weak rounds, the Mavericks actually dragged the game into overtime in the first game. The two sides exchanged key balls, and the battle was not decided until the last minute. ”

"With the first game as a foundation, we believe that the battle between the cow and the horse will probably be more intense than most people think. In order to meet everyone's viewing needs, our live broadcast team rushed to San Antonio to wait for the start of the second round of the series. ”

"That's right, the bull and horse war, it really can't be inferred by common sense......!"

On the side, Reggie Miller nodded and said, "On the first playoff day, we chose the game between the Kings and the Thunder to broadcast live. Although there was a lot of interesting news before and after the game, to be honest, that game was really ugly. ”

"Hahaha, for Thunder fans, it should look good!"

Albert laughed.

"Haha, that's true."

Reggie Miller continued: "The first game of the playoffs is usually the game that sets the tone for the whole series. We believe that, judging from the momentum of the first game of the bull-horse war, this round of the series will probably be quite exciting, resounding, and every game should not be missed, and the quality of the game will definitely be very high. ”

"And the game between the Kings and the Thunder...... The topic is very topical, and the players and coaches on both sides are very characterful. But as far as the game itself is concerned, it is really not good-looking, and the one-sided hanging will only make people feel pity, and they will not feel the beauty of sports. For most neutral fans, it is better to watch a whole game than to watch a half-time. Then watch the bull and horse battle while waiting for the game over there, and pay attention to the press conference, will there be any sparks? ”

Although the words are not very good, Reggie Miller is not half a nonsense.

The Kings and Thunder are not teams of the same grade in the first place. The Kings are dominated by rookies, a large group of playoff CHU men, who do not have the experience and toughness of the Mavericks, and the probability of playing a high-quality game with the Thunder is extremely low.

TV stations are not charities, and spending a lot of money to buy NBA live broadcast rights is not to do charity and contribute to society, but to make money!

If you always broadcast a game like King Thunder live, the audience will get tired of watching it twice, and it's too late to change the channel to watch the live broadcast of the friend station, who would really be stupid to wait for the verbal swords at the press conference?

Those arguments, shouting and the like, look at the news after the game, or simply search on Twitter, and the comments and interactions will be more lively!

Guided by this idea, the top management of the TV station, after watching the first game of the Kings Thunder, immediately adjusted the live broadcast schedule of the first round of the playoffs:

Significantly reduce the size of the Kings and Thunder series, and if there are other options, the Kings and Thunder games will no longer be broadcast live.

Increase the publicity of the bull and horse wars, increase the number of live broadcasts, and the commentator guides the concept of "veterans don't die just don't hesitate to fight you", which sets off the competitive atmosphere between these two long-time rival teams.

Albert personally supports this decision of the top management, because the live broadcast of the last game and the whole hanging scene can only be described as "embarrassing......

"Okay, the warm-up of both sides is over, the entrance ceremony!"

In the teleported screen, the Thunder team's imposing entrance ceremony began.

“GO-GET-IT——！！！”

With the foreshadowing of the last hanging battle, the morale of Thunder fans instantly increased by more than one notch.

Although the Kings are underdogs at the playoff level, they are also the league's No. 1 firepower team, and it is not so easy to win.

The Thunder can easily beat, proving that the strength of this Thunder team is far higher than the king knows how many grades. If before the start of the playoffs, fans were still a little worried that their home team would not be able to really overcome obstacles on the playoff stage.

So with the foundation of the first game, the confidence of the fans is a lot.

"Throughout the league, in the entire playoff circle, teams with the strength to win the championship can be counted on one hand."

In the picture, Ibaka was on the field, and when his name was announced by the DJ, the audience was thunderous, and countless fans jumped up from their seats excitedly, full of pictures of Ibaka killing in the last game.

"Eastern Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Western Spurs, Thunder, Lakers. If nothing else, this year's championship will be produced among these five teams. ”

Reggie Miller said: "The rest of the strong teams like the Bulls, Celtics, and Grizzlies also have the strength of the division finals. But they each have their own problems, either they don't have enough attacking points, or their squad is aging badly, or their defense is much stronger than they attack. A team of this level, I personally call it a 'hard bone' - no one wants to touch it, but it is too difficult for them to win the championship. ”

"The third level is the other playoff teams, such as the Clippers, Mavericks, Pacers, New York, etc., which are all very distinctive, and the regular season is quite passable. But at a playoff level, their flaws are more serious than those of Pot 2, and it's a blessing to reach the division semifinals, and it's almost impossible to go any further. ”

"Hmm...... Very reasonable classification! ”

Listening to Miller's classification, Albert nodded, then frowned and said, "I said...... You didn't seem to mention the Kings just now, did you? ”

"yes."

Miller nodded.

"What grade is the king?"

Albert was clearly arching the fire.

"The king is in a class of his own."

Miller said solemnly: "I call it 'being hung and beaten'. ”

“…… Poofhahahahaha! ”

Albert smiled unkindly......

"Hahaha

At the home of the Thunder, some fans watched live TV with their mobile phones and wanted to listen to the professional commentary of the commentator. When I heard Miller's words, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“…… Laugh a lot. ”

On the side of the technical table, Gu Yu, who was doing the final warm-up action, heard the laughter of the fans, rolled his eyes and scolded.

“…… Laugh at you for being born to be beaten! ”

The fan was not happy and opened his mouth to provoke.

"Uh-huh......???"

Gu Yu, who was already about to leave the technical table and walk onto the court, heard this, and his eyes changed in an instant.

"Reggie Miller said, this year's playoff teams are divided into four gears, and you have your own gear, called 'hanging gear'!! Hahahaha!! ”

"Hahaha......"

Gu Yu's anger rushed up, turned around completely, stretched out his hand to the fan in front of everyone's eyes, and said with a smile: "...... Say it again......???? ”[.]
