After the Lakers, no matter how much they sing about the supersonic ball reviews and fans, no one dares to say that there is still suspense in this triple championship.

However, fans of other teams across the country have expressed their disappointment.

- It's an early finale again, the east is too weak!

- I don't feel interested in the finals anymore......

- Isn't there anyone who can clean up that Asian? What about the pride of a basketball empire?

- Three-time champion dynasty, supersonic has made a lot of money in the past two years, and Schulz has been crying and fainting in the toilet.

- I heard that his company has been listed in Longguo Xiangjiang, this guy wanted to buy the team back last year, and opened 900 million, but people ignored him.

- That is, the supersonic queen is not interested in money, I believe this, she prefers folding stools!

- Tragedy Schulz, sitting on the sidelines as a spectator during the Western Finals, his eyes are red, hahaha!

- The point is that the SuperSonics are still young enough, and now that Japanese kid can withstand Payton's absence, and he feels like he has no opponent next season.

- yes, let alone the Finals, I feel like even the NBA is boring......

- That dragon country was born in a good era, if he had been born a few years earlier, in the era of peak Jordan, Big Bird, and magician, he would have exploded!

The comments from fans across the United States and complaints on the Internet made it hard for Stern to sit in his office.

From the ratings of 45 million in the first game, to 43 million in the second game, 37 million in the third game, and then to 39 million in the final G4, the data decline visible to the naked eye made Stern a headache.

Frankly speaking, thanks to the fact that Lin Dong won the global market, if you look at the global ratings, this year's NBA has increased compared with the previous two years, for example, the Dragon Kingdom has increased from 50 million to 70 million, and the European scope has also improved to a certain extent, and the global market as a whole is still extremely hot.

But the problem is that these ratings are not the most direct conversion to money for the NBA, or the conversion rate of these ratings to money is far less than the conversion rate of the national market.

To put it bluntly, Americans are the richest people in the world......

Take the largest broadcast fees in the NBA today, the TV broadcast and network broadcast in the United States only have 40 million viewers, but the cost is more than 200 million US dollars per year.

And what about the Dragon Country? The 70 million ratings are actually just a 2-year broadcast fee of 22 million under the contract with CCTV over there, pay attention, it's still dragon coins, not US dollars! That's dozens of times worse.

It is true that Stern knows that the surrounding market of the Dragon Country is quite large, and the added value is quite high, just take the establishment of the NBA Dragon Country, only that wave has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in financing for the NBA, plus brands such as Nike have taken root in the Dragon Country, as well as various video tapes, peripheral products, advertising costs, etc., only in the past two or three years, the Dragon Country has brought nearly 700 million US dollars of net income to the NBA.

But the problem is that there is only one financing, and the development of peripheral products has hundreds of millions on the US side, but the difference in annual fixed income such as broadcasting fees is far away.

Therefore, in contrast, the national market is still the most important core for the NBA, and the complaints of fans across the United States and the decline in ratings have naturally become the most nervous top priority for Stern.

Successful as Michael Jordan, after his second comeback, also made American fans enter aesthetic fatigue, and MVP votes were too lazy to vote for him, and the freshness period was only six years.

And Lin Dong is not Jordan after all, American fans' pursuit of him for a while is based on the aesthetic fatigue of local players, but after the freshness, they begin to feel the unhappiness of being pressed on the head by outsiders, and their aesthetic fatigue of Lin Dong will come faster and more urgently, and it is already very good to have the freshness period of the previous two years.

Stern had just hung up on a network operator, and the phone was full of complaints, and this was at least the fiftytieth similar call he had received in the two days since the end of the Western War.

Too many complaints, too many grievances.

Looking at the various reports on the table, Stern couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Even if you don't consider the problem of fans' aesthetic fatigue with Lin Dong, the supersonic speed is indeed too strong, and a game without suspense cannot create a truly blood-boiling iron-blooded battlefield.

As for the ratings, the operator's remarks on the phone just now aroused Stern's interest.

"David, Americans are the strongest in any aspect of the world, we are used to being high, you have to get an Asian to ride on our heads, no one will be really happy, if you don't believe it, just wait and see, the ratings will continue to fall next season, or even plummet!"

Stern frowned: "To be unfair on the pitch and to intervene in the game will only cost us more spectators." ”

"Oh, isn't there any other way but the referee to control everything? Hahahaha, I'll give you the best advice and ideas. ”

"People always like to watch the story of the brave man slaying the dragon, and the dragon country has become the biggest dragon in the NBA in three years, if you can organize a few teams of brave ...... Hahaha, don't worry about upsetting the balance, defeating the dragon is the outcome that fans are most eager to see, and it is also the most important thing right now! When the dragons are gone, you have to keep your balance and break them up again. ”

"The league has a salary cap system, and the owners of the 30 teams have their own interests, so it's impossible for you to imagine an Olympic team." Stern said calmly.

"The alliance system is all set by you, didn't you also get a bird right in order to keep Bird in the Celts? As long as you are willing to operate, as long as those guys also have the heart of dragon slaying, these are not a problem, take a year less money, get the honor of God Slayer, many supergiants will be willing! As for the team owners, they are all for money, as long as someone is willing to pay, what do they not support? What's more, aren't there some supergiants that are very cheap and haven't been worth their weight yet? ”

"As for how to operate, how to balance public opinion, how to create a topic, how to make the transaction reasonable in the eyes of everyone, I believe that you, the founder of modern NBA basketball, will know more than me, of course, if you have another way, then I will listen to you, I can only tell you the final request of my side."

"We still have one year left on our contract, I don't care who wins the championship, I'm not a fan of them, I only care about the ratings, if the ratings continue to decline next year, then I'm sorry, maybe your contract will shrink significantly, this is not only my idea, I believe it is also the idea of all media people and even fans in the United States."

"David, you're the master of the NBA, think for yourself."

…… Pulling his mind away from the call, David Stern fell into deep thought.

It took a long time for him to let out a long breath.

It's enough to escort an Asian three times in a row, and next season may be the time to make some changes.

…………

The 76ers have played six games against the Pistons, and compared to the spears held by Iverson and Chris Webber, the strong shield of the Pistons Five Tigers is obviously superior.

The battle between offense and defense, six consecutive games that are incomparably close but extremely 'inefficient scoring', 88:87, 86:82, 89:93, 87:91, and the last two games of 98:95 and 101:100 after two overtimes, the Pistons won the Eastern Conference finals with difficulty.

In previous years, this round of the series must be one of the classic representatives, the NBA's iron-blooded defense and the most impactful offense, every move and style of the two sides is back and forth, quite a feeling of punching to the flesh.

It's a pity...... When the whole United States has adapted to the supersonic speed and scored 120 points at every turn, it seems a little unfinished to watch the various iron games on these two sides, with an average rating of about 33 million, which is much worse than the Western Finals.

And more importantly, the whole country is clear that neither the Pistons nor the 76ers have the power to compete with the supersonics.

The game that lost suspense too soon brought about a sharp drop in the ratings of the finals.

The overall rating of about 36 million viewers in the United States has set the lowest level of Finals viewership in the NBA in the past three years.

And the SuperSonics also lived up to expectations and eliminated the Pistons with a 4:0 and cleanly.

There is no intention of deliberately releasing water to return to the home court to win the championship in order to sell a few more tickets, obviously it is not just Yang Dong who 'treats money like dung', in fact, the shrewd Seattle Queen still cares about money very much, but she cares more about an honor that is enough to be engraved in basketball history and absolutely unsurpassed.

Not only is it a three-time winning streak, but it is also a perfect championship with no defeat in the NBA playoffs and 16 consecutive wins!

Despite all the complaints from other parts of the country, Seattle as a whole is going crazy about it again.

This is not an ordinary championship, but a dynasty that won three consecutive championships in the NBA, which symbolizes the highest temple in the world!

For Seattle, a city where sports are popular, there are many sports that used to be more popular than basketball, and football, baseball, and ice hockey are all Seattle people's favorites.

But now, it's only basketball!

It doesn't matter if it's any other city, but at least for Seattle......

In the two years from last year to this year, the city has not only renovated key arenas, but also added at least 50 professional basketball arenas, various basketball training classes are everywhere in Seattle, and roadside wild courts have sprung up everywhere.

Basketball is the hottest sport in Seattle right now, and there isn't one!

Although the whole city already 'knew' that the championship must be their own as early as the end of the Western Conference finals, when the final whistle of the SuperSonics and Pistons G4 blew, the huge score of 122:101 on the screen symbolized the Pistons' powerlessness.

When Supersonic Prince Lin Dong lifted that championship trophy at the Pistons' home court in Detroit, Michigan, it still made all Seattle fans go crazy.

Parade?

I've swam twice before, from the city's revelry when I won the first championship the year before, to the slightly cooler heat when I won the championship last year, and then to this year's ...... This is not only Seattle's own carnival, but fans of surrounding cities such as Isserko, Tuckervilla, Auburn, Black Diamond City, etc., who regard the SuperSonics as their home team, have frantically poured into downtown Seattle, squeezing the entire city to the point of flooding.

And the supersonic bus from the airport had to be forced to make an extra two blocks around for this, after all, you can't choose one over the other, and you have to go around the places where fans are waiting.

It was a six-hour drive for his first victory, but this time he walked for nearly 10 hours, and the city's revelry lasted from 9 a.m. until dark, keeping Payton alive until he fell asleep on the roof of the car.

04-05 Championship, three-time champion dynasty!

And three times MVP, three times fmvp, three times the scoring champion, three times the assist king, and even three times the dpoy, three times the best team, three times the best team, three times the defense team...... In the past three years, the NBA's honors have almost been taken away by him!

No matter how harsh the ball criticism is, he can't say the sentence 'Lin Dong is still far from surpassing Jordan, his honor is not convincing enough'.

Now all over the United States, whether they like Lin Dong or hate Lin Dong, they have officially put this Asian on a par with Jordan.

For those who hate him, this is already a guy not inferior to Jordan, the real 'alive' basketball god in the NBA today.

The only point of doubt is that the opponent Lin Dong encountered is 'not strong enough', just because the current NBA is not as divided as it was in the era of Big Bird and Magic.

At the same time, those Michael Jordan rookie seasons talked about things, and they didn't look at the situation in the Bulls team at that time, you know, when Michael Jordan walked into the Bulls' locker room for the first time, what he saw was not a historical point guard like Payton, as well as the energetic potential troops such as Sakuragi Hanamichi, Iguodala, and Chandler, but a bunch of garbage smoking cigars, playing cards, and even XD in the entire locker room, without even looking at Michael.

And this is obviously the only reason why Jordan's performance in his rookie season was not as good as Lin Dong, you obviously can't say that Lin Dong surpassed Jordan because of this, and even comparing him with Jordan is unfair and somewhat overestimated.

But for those fans who like Lin Dong, the opinion is obviously completely different.

They believe that Lin Dong has surpassed Jordan and become the only real basketball god in the NBA!

Is Kobe Bryant not strong enough? Isn't Yao Ming strong enough? Or are Duncan and O'Neal not strong enough?

Michael jordan? Does he have a triple dpoy? Did he do it all as a rookie? Does he have a playoff average of 40+ per game? Does he have a playoff average of 3-doubles per game?

When it comes to the locker room, Jordan's unmotivated teammates are all NBA veterans, and Lin Dong's teammates in his debut season are all first-year newcomers.

What's more, Lin Dong is still young, and when he has played more than a dozen seasons in the league like Jordan, his honor will be beyond Jordan's reach!

The founder of the three-time championship dynasty, he is the real god of basketball - Lin Dong!
