ps: This chapter keeps saying that I have sensitive words, I can't find where there is a problem, I can't find a harmonic filter to filter, I don't know if it works. ③∵

It's reversed from the previous chapter

On June 9, the Celtics led by Pierce have suffered two consecutive defeats in the finals, and in the fourth game, Pierce, known as the strongest in the league, even pushed the fox brother in the game in anger, although the referee did not see it, but after the game, the league added a technical foul to it, but fortunately, there was no ban to make the Celtics breathe a sigh of relief.

In the fourth game of the finals, Ji Guoyi finally won the best player award once, which was the first time he won the best of the game in the finals, which means a lot to the little fox!

Ji Guoqiu contributed 15 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoqiu 25 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Billups 23 points and 5 assists, and Artest 16 points and 6 rebounds.

Garnett had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, Pierce had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Allen 32 points, Rajan. Rondo 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Thorton 10 points, Kassel 7 points.

The next day, the Cleveland Truth Newspaper headlined: The most humiliating World War I made by Pierce, how dare the wasted man claim to be the first in the league.

Pierce opened with a nonchalant look on his face, his languid eyes were more Maddie than Maddie's, and it was obvious that such a mental outlook was incompatible with the background of the Finals, which laid the groundwork for the tragedy of his whole game.

If Pierce still can't pull himself together in the rest of the game, will he want to cross the Clippers and win the championship? Let's wash up and sleep, if you refer to today's game. It can only be a big joke.

The Cleveland media certainly has reason to be sarcastic about Pearce. None of their little emperors dared to claim to be the number one in the alliance. There is also a No. 24 in front of him in the west, and now there is no one in the league who can convince the public, and Pierce is even less qualified.

Los Angeles Times. Bundan writes that putting the word great on Pierce is an insult to "greatness"!

The report was more harshly worded. Bundan apparently flickered at the number 24 jersey and wrote: "Perhaps the only word that has been over-misused in all the sports vocabulary in this world is the word "great", whether it is to describe a player, a team, a victory, or a cheerleading team. You can apply the word great, and of course that description will also appear in players.

In the entire history of the NBA, there are not many players who can afford the word "great", and there are only a handful of active players, even Kobe Bryant can't deserve the word "great", so Pierce called himself the greatest player after the team led 2:0, which is a typical villain. So he was quickly retribution, and in the fourth key matchup of the Finals, he was limited to single digits by a rookie who shot 2-of-16 from the field. The 11.1% shooting percentage is hilarious, please ask this. Where does "greatness" come from?

The NBA's official website also headlined the next day: Pierce's ugly performance was humiliated, and the Clippers won two games in a row to tie the score.

The website certainly doesn't have the same cynicism as the Los Angeles and Cleveland media, who implicitly think that Pierce may be homesick.

At the start of the third game of the finals, Pierce returned to his hometown of Los Angeles.

And when he returned home, he shot 2-of-18 from the field, missing 10 consecutive shots in the game, the darkest game of his career.

Pierce once loved the Lakers deeply, and it was the Celtics that he hated the most, perhaps because of this reason that made him inaccurate in front of his hometown parents, although the reason was far-fetched.

Pierce said in an interview after coming to Los Angeles: "As a child, I watched the Lakers and Celtics play in the Finals, and that enlightened my understanding of basketball and occupied my memories of the 80s. I was just a kid, 6 or 7 years old. I remember being at my uncle's house, and then I had to sit on the floor to see TV. The TV screen was so small that I could barely see it, but I was happy because in the end the Lakers won. ”

After the game, the next day ABC released the news that the ratings for the Grand Finals had risen.

That's right, the Clippers won two games in a row, and the ratings for the Finals immediately rose.

After the Clippers' Game 4 against the Celtics, ABC TV statistics showed that the night's game was viewed at 16.7 percent, up 1.8 percent from Game 3's 14.9 percent. The ratings for the first show were 15.8 and the second was 15.1.

According to TV and online statistics, in the fourth game of the Clippers' 106-98 win over the Celtics in the Finals, a total of 19.8 million households watched TV, and if you count the live webcast, then add 5 million fans sitting in front of the computer.

According to the statistics of the four broadcasters, the ratings of the Finals in '08 increased by an average of 250% compared to '07, from 6.2% to 15.6%, which is second only to the second consecutive championship of the Bulls dynasty, the yellow-green hegemony period of the NBA in the late 80s, and the first Bulls three-game championship period.

Therefore, some people have already asserted today that the NBA will usher in a fourth glory from this season, and the initiators of this glory are the twin brothers, anyway, no one would think that the Clippers can have such energy.

Of course, it won't be the Celtics, and the ratings are proof that the Green Army won two games in a row, and the ratings of the third game of the Finals immediately dropped by 1.8, which means that at least millions of families canceled the game because of this, and these lost ratings came back in the fourth game, then the answer to the question is clear.

Therefore, even if the recent gambling referee has made the president anxious, but after seeing the ratings at this moment, I believe that David. Stern will definitely smile sweetly, nothing is as good as the bright red ratings, this is not a simple red line, but it means doubling the income, and billions of dollars more at once.

The Wall Street Journal also ran a sports story on its front page after Game 4 with the headline "Stern Doesn't Let the Green Army Win the Championship." The 10 billion broadcast contract is about to be signed.

"The three major TV stations in the United States want the Green Army to lose. The price is a sky-high broadcast contract of 12 billion for the next six years. ”

That's the essence of the entire Wall Street Journal story. According to insider sources, the Wall Street Journal broke the price of the new broadcast deal: "The NBA will announce a new broadcast deal with ESPN and TNT after the Finals for $12 billion over six years. The average price was nearly 4 times what it is now. ”

As soon as the news came out, a number of NBA reporters immediately forwarded it, and major media reprinted it, and they all expressed their amazement at this price!

The NBA's broadcast contract was signed in the summer of 2002 when Stern made a big deal when he signed a six-year, $220 million over-the-air television contract with TNT. At the same time, it signed a six-year, $2.4 billion cable broadcast contract with ABC and ESPN. At the time, this was already a sky-high broadcast contract. But time has passed, and six years later, the commercial value of the NBA has continued to rise under the leadership of the president, especially since the ratings of this year's Finals have qualified the NBA for an unprecedented broadcast contract.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the 2007-08 season will reach $4 billion in NBA revenue, and the NBA will rank third among the four major sports leagues in the United States, behind the NFL (8 billion), MLB (6 billion), and ahead of the NHL (3 billion). To know. When David. When Stern first took office, the NBA was described by many pundits as "probably the first of the big four leagues to fail." There are only 60 employees in the entire NBA office, and the annual income is only a measly $165 million.

If a new broadcast contract of $12 billion is signed, the NBA's revenue will be close to the $5 billion mark, and it is possible to surpass MLB to become the second-highest revenue league in the next five years.

The domestic portal is even more proud to say: twins are worth 10 billion, and if there are no twin brothers, the NBA's upcoming broadcast contract may be worth half of the value.

This is not an exaggeration, during the NBA's golden age in the 90s, 25% of NBA revenue was contributed by Joe's gang members. Joe retired for nearly two years, and the NBA's revenue dropped by 25% in the '94 and '95 seasons, which is enough to show the impact of a superstar on the entire league.

It can be said that during the two consecutive championships of the Bulls dynasty, which player dares to make a death attack on Jordan, it will be fatal! This is not a joke, if a star like Uncle Bao is a public enemy, if he dares to put his feet on Jordan, once he hurts the trapeze, the league's income declines, and it is strange if he is not killed afterwards, it is a billion dollars a year.

Turiaf's black foot did not hurt the little fox, and being banned for three games afterwards is already a warning issued by the league, you can slap your face, but if you dare to get a black foot, next time it will not be such a simple punishment as a ban.

The twin brothers reached the finals and have completely become the gods of wealth that need to be provided in the eyes of the league, and technically they are certainly not as good as the Joe gang leaders of the year, even Duncan and Garnett are a lot worse, but in terms of value, they are already the highest active players in the league.

Ji Guozhi was lying at home watching the news at the moment, and he was quite complacent to Taylor. Swift asked, "Honey, you said that I killed Garnett in the fifth game, will I be banned?" ”

Taylor. Swift rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What's the matter, in October or November, my new album will be released, and my fame will definitely be higher than yours." ”

"You're tall enough, I was just 180cm when I first met you, and now you're almost 185cm, why are you so tall, now you should find a way to get bigger is the top priority."

"I'm going to kill you!" Taylor. Swift hated Ji Guosha the most, saying that he was flat-chested, holding a piece of bread and chasing the little fox all over the house.

Ji Guoqiu was on the other side and touched Emma. Roberts's little head said bitterly: "What kind of 'wild child' movie, just push it off, just look at the name of the movie and know that it is not a good movie." You're the boss now, why do you still act in movies, and you don't get paid much. ”

Emma. Roberts nodded, dodging Ji Guoqiu's big hand, she now suspects that she is not tall, but she was touched by him.

"Sister Taylor is so tall that I don't know what she usually eats?" Emma. Roberts muttered to himself.

"Jingle bell ......" Ji Guoqiu's mobile phone rang again.

The giant panda had no color on his face this time, and when he picked it up, he looked at it. Roberts said: "It's time for tactical lessons, I'm going to report to the team and see you in the evening. ”

Emma. Roberts glanced at it secretly and found that the name of old Dunleavy was written on it, and he immediately put his mind at ease and said very obediently: "I will also go to class in a while, and I will see you in the evening." ”

Ji Guoqiu left home, went downstairs and sat in his car, immediately changed the name of old Dunleavy to Christine, and looked around before replying to the phone: "I'm in a tactical class, I'll pick you up at noon, and I'll take you to eat the Manchurian full banquet." ”

The little fox was now holding a vacuum cleaner to clean up the bread crumbs all over the ground, and in his mind he should see a certain guy who dragged two and said softly: "What a slut! As he was scolding, his phone rang, and it was the name of the elder Dunleavy on it.

Ji Guoyi answered the phone and turned to Taylor. Swift said, "Honey, you come and clean up, I'm going to a tactics class." ”

Taylor. Swift didn't doubt him, holding the guitar and not knowing what song he was practicing, he heard the words and said, "You go, I'll go for a facial in the afternoon, and we'll go eat French food in the evening and things on the ground." It's good that you come back and clean it up."

Ji Guoyi secretly scolded "stinky", went out and went downstairs, and after getting into his mount, he quickly changed the name of old Dunleavy to Emma. Watson.

"Little Hermione asked me to eat, she didn't want to seduce me, did she?"

Ji Guoyi sat in the car and thought secretly: "That chick seems to be interesting to me, I have already seen it, it is all handsome and hurts me, but ...... If the girl makes an offer, do I make an offer or not? (To be continued......) R527
