Chapter 318 Twins are worth 10 billion
ps: This chapter has been saying that I have sensitive words. I can’t find any problems. I can’t find a harmonious machine to filter it. I don’t know if it works.
It's reversed from the previous chapter
On June 9, the Celtics led by Pierce had suffered two consecutive defeats in the finals. In the fourth game, Pierce, who claimed to be the strongest in the league, even pushed the Fox brother in anger. Although the referee did not see it, the league added a technical foul on him after the game. Fortunately, the Celtics were relieved without a ban.
In the fourth game of the finals, Ji Guomeng finally won the Best Player Award for the Game. This was the first time he won the Best Player in the Finals. It is of great significance to the Little Fox!
Ji Guoqiu contributed 15 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the whole game, Ji Guomiang scored 25 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Billups scored 23 points and 5 assists, Artest scored 16 points and 6 rebounds.
Garnett scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, Pierce scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Ray Allen scored 32 points, Rajon Rondo scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Al Souton scored 10 points, and Cassel scored 7 points.
The next day, the title of Cleveland Truth News: The most shameful battle between Pierce, how dare the useless man claim to be the first in the league?
After the opening, Pierce looked careless and lazy, with his lazy eyes even more than McGrady. It was obvious that such a mental outlook was incompatible with the background of the finals, which laid the groundwork for his entire game.
If Pierce still cannot cheer up in the subsequent games, he would like to overcome the Clippers' hurdle to win the championship? It would be better to take a shower and go to bed. If we refer to today's game, it will only be a huge joke.
Cleveland media certainly have reason to mock Pierce. Their little emperor dared not claim to be the first in the league. There is a No. 24 in the west, and now no one in the league can convince the public, so Pierce is even less qualified.
Da Bendan of the Los Angeles Times wrote an insult to “greatness” by putting the word great on Pierce!
The wording of this report is even more stern, Da Bendan obviously wrote to the No. 24 jersey: Perhaps among all sports words in this world, the only word that has been overused is the word "great". Whether it is a player, a team, a victory, or a cheerleader, the word greatness can be applied. Of course, such descriptions will also appear on players.
In the entire NBA history, there are not many players who can afford the word "great", and there are only a handful of them in active service. Even Kobe cannot deserve the word "great", so Pierce claimed to be the greatest player after leading the team 2:0, which is a typical villain's success. So he quickly got retribution. In the fourth key showdown in the finals, he was limited to single digits by a rookie, and made 2 of 16 shots in the game. The shooting percentage of 11.1% is simply funny. May I ask how "great" comes from this performance?
The nba official website also titled the next day: Pierce suffered a shame in his ugly performance, and the Clippers won two consecutive games to equalize the score.
Of course, the official website will not be as sarcastic as the Los Angeles and Cleveland media, who implicitly think that Pierce - perhaps homesick.
At the third game of the finals, Pierce returned to his hometown, Los Angeles.
But when he returned to his hometown, he handed in 2 of 18 shots. He missed ten consecutive shots in the game, setting the darkest game of his career.
Once upon a time, Pierce loved the Lakers deeply, and the Celtics he hated the most was the Celtics. Perhaps this reason made him perform inaccurately in front of his hometown elders, although the reason was a bit far-fetched.
After coming to Los Angeles, Pierce said in an interview: "When I was a child, I watched the Lakers and the Celtics fight in the finals in the dark. That enlightened me all my understanding of basketball and occupied my memories of the 1980s. At that time, I was just a child, only 6 or 7 years old. I remember being at my uncle's house, and then I had to sit on the floor to see the TV clearly. The TV screen was so small that I could only barely see a little, but I was very happy because the Lakers won in the end."
After the game, ABC released the news the next day - the ratings of the finals increased.
That's right, the Clippers won two consecutive games, and the ratings of the finals immediately rose.
After the Clippers' fourth game against the Celtics, statistics from ABC TV showed that the ratings of the game that night were 16.7%, up 1.8 from the 14.9% in the third game. The ratings of the first game were 15.8 and the 15.1 in the second game.
According to TV and Internet statistics, in the fourth game of the Clippers defeating the Celtics 106-98 in the finals, a total of 19.8 million families watched TV. If the online live broadcast is included, then 5 million fans sitting in front of the computer will have to be added.
Data from four broadcasters show that the ratings of the finals in 2008 increased by 250% compared with 2007, from 6.2% to 15.6%, which is second only to the Bulls' dynasty's second consecutive championship period, which is comparable to the Yellow and Green Contest in the late 1980s and the first period of the Bulls' three consecutive championship period.
So, today some people have asserted that the NBA will usher in its fourth glory from this season, and the initiator of this glory is the twin brothers. Anyway, no one would think that the Clippers, a big bad team, can have such energy.
Of course, it wouldn't be the Celtics. The ratings are proof that the Celtics 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 viewing game, and the ratings of these losses came back in the fourth game, so the answer to the question is clear at a glance.
So, even though the recent betting referees made the president worry, after seeing the ratings, I believe David Stern will smile sweetly. No matter what troubles are, it is better to see the bright red ratings. These are not simple red lines, but to double the income and add billions of green dollars.
After the fourth finals, the Wall Street Journal also published a sports news on its homepage that was not very relevant to it. The title was - Stern did not allow the Celtics to win the championship easily. The 10 billion broadcast contract is about to be signed.
"The three major American TV stations want the Celtics to lose. The price is a sky-high broadcast contract of 12 billion yuan in the next six years."
This is the essence of the entire Wall Street Journal report. According to insiders, the Wall Street Journal broke the price of this new broadcast agreement: "NBA will announce a new broadcast agreement with ESPN and TNT after the finals, with a price of $12 billion in 6 years. The average price is close to 4 times the current one."
As soon as the news came out, several NBA reporters immediately forwarded it, and major media reprinted it, and they all expressed their surprise at the price!
NBA's broadcast contract was signed in the summer of 2002. At that time, Stern made a big move and signed a 6-year, US$220 million wireless broadcast contract with TNT. At the same time, he signed a 6-year, US$2.4 billion cable broadcast contract with ABC and ESPN. This was already a sky-high broadcast contract at the time. However, time has changed, and after 6 years, NBA's commercial value has been rising steadily under the leadership of the president, especially this year's finals ratings make NBA qualified for an unprecedented broadcast contract.
According to the Wall Street Journal's forecast, the total revenue of NBA will reach US$4 billion in the 2007-08 season. Among the four major sports leagues in the United States, NBA's total revenue will rank third, lagging behind NFL (8 billion) and mlb (6 billion), and leading NHL (3 billion). You should know. When David Stern first took office, NBA was rated by many experts as "the first to go bankrupt among the four major leagues". The entire NBA office has only 60 employees, and the annual income is only a pitiful $165 million.
If a new broadcast contract of 12 billion is signed, NBA's revenue will approach the 5 billion mark, and it may exceed mlb and become the second highest-revenue alliance in the next five years.
The domestic portal website proudly stated: Twins are worth 10 billion. If there were no twin brothers, the value of the broadcast contract that NBA will soon sign would probably be reduced by half.
This is not an exaggeration. During the golden period of NBA in the 1990s, 25% of NBA income was contributed by the leader of Qiao. The leader of Qiao retired for nearly two years, and the income of NBA in the 1994 and 1995 seasons decreased by 25%, which is enough to show the impact of a superstar on the entire league.
It can be said that during the two consecutive three-time championships of the Bulls Dynasty, which player dares to kill Jordan, would have killed anyone! This is not a joke. If a star enemy like Uncle Bao San dares to give Jordan a black foot, if he hurts His Majesty the Flying Majesty, it would be strange if the league's income is not killed afterwards. It would be a one-billion-dollar income a year.
Turiyaf's black foot did not hurt the little fox. Afterwards, he was suspended for three games. It was a warning from the league that you could slap in the face, but if you dare to do a black foot, the next time it will not be a simple punishment as banned.
The twin brothers have completely become the God of Wealth who needs to be offered to the league in the eyes of the league. Of course, they are not as good as the leader of Joe back then. Even Duncan and Garnett are much worse, but in terms of value, they are already the highest active players in the league.
Ji Guomeng was lying at home watching the news and asked Taylor Swift with smugness: "Dear, do you say I will be suspended from the game if I kill Garnett in the fifth game?"
Taylor Swift rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What's the point? My new album is about to be released in October or November. By then, my reputation will definitely be higher than you."
"You are already tall enough. When I first met you, I was just 180cm, and now it is almost 185cm. Why are you so tall? It is the most urgent thing to find a way to get bigger."
"I'm going to kill you!" Taylor Swift hated Ji Guomo the most and said that he was flat-breasted and chased the little fox in the room with a piece of striped bread.
Ji Guoqiu touched Emma Roberts's little head on the other side and said with great thought: "That 'wild boy' movie, just push it off. You can tell it is not a good movie just by looking at the name of the movie. Now that you are the boss, why do you still have to act in a movie? There is not much money for you?"
Emma Roberts nodded and avoided Ji Guoqiu's big hand. She now suspected that she was not tall, but she was touched by him.
"Sister Taylor is so tall, I don't know what she usually eats?" Emma Roberts muttered in her heart.
"Dingling..." Ji Guochou's cell phone rang again.
The giant panda had no strange color on his face this time. He followed it up and said to Emma Roberts: "It's time for tactical class. I'm going to report to the team. See you in the evening."
Emma Roberts glanced secretly and found that the name of Old Dunleavy was written on it. He immediately felt relieved and said very obediently: "I will go to class later, see you in the evening."
Ji Guochou left home, went downstairs to get into his car, and immediately changed the name of Old Dunleavy to Christine, looked around and replied to the phone: "I'm taking tactics class, I'll pick you up at noon, I'll take you to the Manchu and Han banquet."
The little fox was holding a vacuum cleaner to clean up the bread shattered on the ground. He thought that he was a little guy who was dragging his head and said softly: "What a bitch!" He was cursing, his cell phone rang, and it was also the name of Old Dunleavy.
After answering the phone, Ji Guomeng said to Taylor Swift: "Dear, come and clean up, I'm going to take tactics class."
Taylor Swift did not doubt that he was practicing with his guitar. He heard this and said, "You go, I will do facial treatment in the afternoon, and we will eat French food in the evening... As for the things on the ground, you can just clean it up again..."
Ji Guomori cursed "stinky girls", went out and went downstairs, got into his mount, and quickly changed the name of old Dunleavy to Emma Watson.
"Little Hermione asked me to have a meal. Could it be that she wanted to seduce me?"
