NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

in the eyes of all.

This year's finals will be similar to last year's.

It depends on whether the Bobcats succeeded in defending their title or the Spurs succeeded in revenge.

It's just that the Spurs' revenge drama is over before it even begins.

5 month 28 day.

Salt Lake City.

Relying on the magic of veteran Sprewell.

The Jazz gave the Spurs a serious blow.

Everyone knows.

Sprewell is almost 36.

He did get selected once in a while.

But that was ten years ago.

Sprewell isn't even averaging 10 points per game this season.

However, it was his performance that brought the Jazz back.

Everyone felt that the Jazz was really doomed this time if they had to rely on such a veteran to make a comeback.

Unexpectedly, this was actually the starting point for the Jazz to fight back.

On May 5, Western Conference Finals g30.

This time it was Kirilenko who stood up.

21 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks.

Kirilenko put on one of his craziest playoff performances.

The score came to 2:2.

On June 6, return to San Antonio.

The Spurs' offense is like quicksilver.

Crazy scored 128 points.

However, what is disappointing is that the Spurs seem to suddenly become defenseless.

Boozer 39 points, 19 rebounds.

Deron Williams had 33 points, 7 rebounds and 14 assists.

Facing the crazier Jazz, the Spurs had no choice but to lose Tianwangshan.

On June 6, the game came to Salt Lake City again.

No one can stop the Jazz generals anymore.

Even Jerry Sloan, who was somewhat conservative, didn't stop his disciples from shooting three-pointers this time.

As a result, the Jazz made 34 three-pointers in this crazy game.

Although their hit rate is not very high.

However, relying on grabbing more rebounds, he still won the game.

After 8 years, the Jazz made it to the finals again.

8 years, seems like yesterday.

Jerry Sloan's team met Michael Jordan's team again in the Finals.

……

Jazz vs Bobcats.

Sloan's team beat Jordan's team, which is also a good gimmick.

Thinking back to that year, in fact, it was 1998 not long ago.

Bulls vs. Jazz, the ratings are amazing.

A total of more than 2904 million people watched the finals of that year.

Everyone felt that it would be a good start.

But unexpectedly, it was at an insurmountable peak.

The battle between the Bobcats and the Jazz ended hastily after only 4 games.

The Bobcats didn't even have time to exert force, and the Jazz fell.

To be exact, Kirilenko, who still had a good performance in the Western Conference Finals, has now become the new Chris Paul or Kenyon Martin.

Facing Zhou Yao, he can hardly be counted on at all.

Others played so hard, the Jazz still could not avoid the fate of being swept.

It is also because of the Jazz's vulnerability.

The game looked very ugly.

It was almost a one-sided massacre.

The fans were stupefied watching.

The highest audience rating was actually only g4 in the finals.

Not because the game has gotten better.

However, this year is the first year that Mr. Bill Russell will present the fmvp award.

Other than that, there are no bright spots.

……

Since entering the new millennium.

In 2000, the ok combination rose.

The finals that year saw 1740 million viewers.

In 2001, the peak Iverson battled the ok combination.

Viewership rose to 1900 million.

year 2002.Jordan's sword is not old, and he also staged a battle with Kobe.

The number of viewers reached 2450 million, the highest since the new millennium.

It is also because of the super high ratings of the finals.

The league has the upper hand in negotiating broadcast contracts.

In 2003, ratings began to decline.

However, Jordan's last battle was against his former teammate Pippen.

The number of viewers is barely 2000 million.

In 2004, the Lakers played f4 against the Pacers.

The number of viewers is almost 1800 million.

In 2005, the Bobcats rose strongly and played against the Spurs in the finals.

The number of viewers was nearly 1700 million.

Thinking of this, David Stern couldn't help being afraid.

If the Eastern Conference team is replaced by the Pistons, the ratings will definitely drop.

This year, the Bobcats played against the Jazz.

Has been vigorously publicized under the circumstances.

The number of viewers is less than 1400 million.

This made David Stern very distressed.

And at this moment, Zhou Yao told David Stern about his plan.

On the other hand, just about half a month ago, Lakers general manager Kupchak also gave his own plan for the new season.

These two people must have not made an appointment in advance.

However, there are definitely many similarities between the two people's plans.

……

The season is over.

Next is the draft.

It's just that it's different from the excitement in the past.

Facing this year's rookie.

Almost every team showed a lack of interest.

The reason is simple.

The Bobcats traded all of their draft picks this year.

Including the Bobcats own original draft picks, as well as the draft picks obtained in previous transactions.

"Jordan didn't even like a rookie. Are all the rookies this year so bad?"

"Which evildoer is Jordan taking a fancy to? He actually hoarded so many draft picks for next year?"

"The Bobcats have won two consecutive championships!"

"If there is really a monster selected by the Bobcats next year, will other teams still survive?"

Everyone is talking quietly in private.

Compared with those depressed team management, the rookies participating in this year's draft are obviously a more depressed group.

……

6 month 28 day.

Madison Square Garden.

60 lucky ones were selected by the team.

Several people whose names were called had bitter faces.

Not at all the excited look of those guys who were called by name in the past.

You don't even need to look it up.

The draft rankings of these guys originally belonged to the Bobcats.

It even includes lottery picks from previous deals.

But now, they can only go to other teams to play.

……

"Are all those guys blind?"

"A talent like me will lose the election!"

"Is there something wrong with me?"

In a motel near the University of Kentucky.

A tall young man was whining loudly.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Some young people don't want to pay attention.

It's really embarrassing to make a fuss in the room.

Yesterday, I ordered takeaway in the room with my friends and drank a lot of beer.

These are charged to the hotel's account.

Maybe the waiter came and urged me to pay.

It was just a small amount of money.

It's just that I didn't expect that I would lose the election.

By the way, I seem to have smashed a few crystal cups in the hotel.

Although it is obvious at a glance that they are just some cheap goods.

Still, think about your own parched pockets right now.

In addition, signing up for the draft, although it does not affect his continued university studies.

But he can no longer play college basketball.

In other words, my scholarship is gone.

Really bad!

The knocking on the door still didn't stop.

"It's coming! It's coming! Don't rush!"

The young man lazily stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door was a guy in his mid-thirties, but certainly not a clerk at the motel.

"My name is Ethan Jones."

"Perhaps you've heard my name."

"Are you interested in chatting?"

Young people always feel that this name seems to have been heard somewhere...
