June 14, 1998, the game day of Game 4 of the NBA Finals arrived.
When the strength gap between the two sides in a series is so large that a sweep can be achieved reliably, the attention of this series may not be low, but the ratings are usually not that high, even in the finals.
For example, in the 1995 Finals, every game was actually very intense, but after the Rockets led the Magic 3-0, the g4 ratings plummeted. It's not that no one paid attention, but because the score was so high, many people just wanted to Look at the results in the newspaper or on the TV news.
This time is different. Although the advantage of the Lakers this time is far greater than that of the Rockets in 1995. Everyone knows that the Lakers will win, but the topic, the intensity of media coverage and publicity, and even the booking of paid viewings The situation has reached a new high in this year's finals.
There is a bit of a gap between the ratings of the Eastern Conference Finals tiebreaker, but the ratings of the Eastern Conference Finals tiebreaker are too high. In the history of the NBA, only three playoff games have exceeded 30 million paid views for a single game, and one was last season's Finals game. 7. The first time was the 1993 Finals G6, which had a ratings of over 25%, which was quite special.
This kind of thing requires direct comparison. For a finals that has a high probability of sweeping the championship, G4 has booked more than 20 million paid viewings, and the final viewing situation is expected to exceed 25 million times. This has never happened in NBA history.
Even if we compare G5 in the finals, which was decided 4-1, the ratings of tonight's game are still ranked first.
Even fans who don¡¯t like the Lakers and people who have been criticizing the Lakers in various ways in the past few days don¡¯t want to miss this game as long as they have time.
Because the Lakers may surpass the 1983 76ers who won the championship with 12 wins and 1 loss, and become the first team in NBA history to win the playoffs and win the championship!
For fans who are passionate about basketball, they don¡¯t want to miss this kind of big scene, even if it¡¯s not the team they support, even if it¡¯s a rival team.
There are still some people who are looking forward to it - O'Neal is making money mvp with Zhang Hao!
It can be seen from g2. In g2, O'Neal almost got a double-20 and a triple-double in blocks in the finals. Although he didn't get either, his performance of three 20 points, 19 rebounds and 8 blocks was very exciting. In g3, O'Neal has already begun to grab the ball.
Will this eventually turn into an internal conflict within the G4 Remy Martin Twin Towers, causing the Lakers to lose G4? Did the unstoppable victory in the mouth fly away?

Today, the Lakers have a lot of interviews, and they have to accept interviews. Most people regard today as the last game day of the season, and the same is true for the Lakers. It is the last game day, and it cannot be justified not to accept interviews.
Fortunately, I had a day off the day before yesterday, and I did a good job preparing for the battle yesterday. There are many chores today, but it doesn¡¯t have any impact.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Hao started to warm up, and his teammates also came to warm up one after another.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was almost time to enter the stadium. Zhang Hao called his teammates together, including O'Neal, and gave instructions on the small adjustments he wanted. Most of his teammates had no objections.
After Zhang Hao made some small adjustments before the game, O'Neal called Zhang Hao aside: "You want me to attack from behind for the whole game? Isn't that bad? It's unfair to you. Let's do it one by one?"
"Is this what you would say? Could it be that I am dreaming now?"
"What do you mean!"
"Ahem, it doesn't have to be like this. No, it can't be like this. Don't underestimate the Pacers. If we give them a chance, they may really defeat us. Have you forgotten what happened in the first game?"
"But¡¡"
"The first thing we have to do is to win the ball and win the game! Now that you are ready to attack, you have to make the best adjustments around this point. Okay, you go and get ready to enter. That's it. .¡±
Hearing this, O'Neal didn't hesitate any longer. The opportunity was right in front of him. FMVP would be stupid not to fight for it!
Seeing O'Neal adjust his mentality and walk to the player's tunnel, Zhang Hao thought, and the system prompt came.
"Host Jason Kidd 1995-1996 version of the star experience card, ability evaluation 85 consumption lifespan 30 days special usage"
"50 points in a single game. I have the advantage in scoring the highest in a single game. I scored higher in g1 and g2. Even if Big Fatty scores more tonight, it doesn't matter. 2 to 2. Statistics. Big Fatty has a big quasi-triple-double." , I¡¯ll do a true triple-double, that¡¯ll be it"
¡¡
The Great Western Forum Arena was filled with jubilation, and Lakers fans were almost suffocating with excitement.
The glorious history of their Lakers team will reach a new high this year!
In many ways, this season has been a great one for the team.?
At the award ceremony, David Stern first announced that the Lakers had won the championship. The trophy rotated in the hands of the Lakers players, management, and coaching staff. After being individually photographed, it finally came to O'Neal, who held it in his arms. .
When it came time to award the MVP award in the finals, O'Neal still had the slightest expectation, but it was already very low. Moreover, at this time, he was not as frustrated as he had expected if he failed in the competition. Instead, he faced it all calmly. .
David Scott once again invited Bill Russell, the King of the Ring, to present the award. The King of the Ring¡¯s expression was so disgusting The Lakers have won 13 championships!
Regardless of the upcoming shutdown, David Stern's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile when he thought of the topic, attention, and ratings of the NBA this yearespecially the further expansion of the Chinese market: "Ladies and gentlemen , the winner of the NBA 1997-1998 season finals MVP award is our gentleman, Stone Buddha, Son of Light, Aix-zhanghao!"
When David Stern called out Zhang Hao¡¯s name, the scene was boiling again!
O¡¯Neal watched Zhang Hao take the Finals MVP trophy from Bill Russell. He must have been unwilling to give up, but at least this time, O¡¯Neal was convinced! Different from the frustration of not being able to compete with Zhang Hao for FMVP last year due to the absence of g7, this time, I really lost without losing my temper.
Zhang Hao led the Lakers to fmvp and won two consecutive championships. The number of championships in the Lakers' team history increased to 13!
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
