This year s finals tiebreaker tells you why no one in the NBA is good to watch

No suspense, the Thunder defeated the Pacers in the final tiebreak battle and won the NBA championship this season with a score of 4:3. This result is exactly the same as the predictions of many media and sports celebrities. The result I am talking about is not just about predicting who will win in the end, but about these teachers, big names, such as Su Qun and Ma Jian, who can even predict that the score will eventually be frozen at 4:3. Do you think it is magical or not.

Actually, in the previous article, Fireworks finally predicted the Thunder 4:3 Pacers. I wonder if you still remember...

You should know the title of the championship predicted in previous years, which is a slap in the face. Last year, everyone in Yang Yi made a prediction. There were more than 40 people in the company, and only a young intern who just joined the company predicted that the Celtics won the championship. Everyone else was wrong, including Yang Yi himself. So the question is, why is his family’s caliber this year so consistent?

The most critical point is that, in recent years, the market value of the NBA has been rising (the Lakers sold a record-breaking 10 billion a few days ago), but in fact, the ratings are getting worse every year. Before the Battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Finals, there was news that the average ratings of the first four games were only 7.3 million. What does this mean? If this value lasts until the end of the series, the ratings of this year's finals will be the second lowest in 20 years. Yes, you read that right, even if the news media is not as high as it is now twenty years ago, its ratings are higher than it is now.

For example, old fans know that the Spurs in the Duncan era can be regarded as a ratings killer and were regarded as a thorn in the eyes by the then president David Stern. However, even so, the Spurs won the championship in 2003, 2005 and 2007, respectively, of which the Spurs swept the Cavaliers 4:0 in the finals, and 9.3 million was the lowest rating at that time.

And the lowest ratings in the NBA Finals are from 6.5 million that the Lakers won the championship in 2020, the Bucks won the championship in 21, 10.1 million that the Denver won the championship in 222, and 7.3 million that the current one is. What should I do if I can’t keep anyone in the competition?

Xiao Hua has a way. This person can be regarded as a master of gimmicks. As soon as he took office, he awarded the FMVP to the Spurs fourth-year-old Kawai Leonard, and in 2015, he gave Andre Iguodala again. Although these two operations have made the NBA full of topics, it has also directly made the previous big prize FMVP worthless.

Of course, this is just a small operation. Xiao Hua's most successful case is to fabricate the Universe Luxury Fleet, create a super team that is rare in history, and then let him serve as a background board to allow another weak team (in comparison) to complete the history of the finals. It can be said that it is a unique 1:3 Jedi turnaround in the finals. This operation directly blew the NBA topic!

Of course, all the details in it are not something that Xiao Hua can do. The three elements of the right time, place, and people are indispensable. However, among them, Xiao Hua definitely played an indelible role, and its effect was immediately effective. The G7 and NBA ratings in the finals were as high as 31 million, ranking third in history is the best proof.

Therefore, with such a ratings this year, Xiao Hua brought out the tiebreak battle that has not appeared for ten years. To be honest, tiebreak is definitely a very good gimmick, but the key problem is that this year is not the time to squeeze the greatest value of tiebreak. Both the Pacers and the Thunder are not a big market market. The tiebreak match with the Lakers, Knicks, and Celtics. No matter how bad it is, they must be the Warriors, and the second-level market teams like Brooklyn can play their maximum value.

But Xiao Hua really can't wait for a moment. The difference in paper strength between the Thunder and the Pacers is obvious. If you don't force intervention, the Thunder will lead 3:0 or 3:1 early, and the suspense will completely disappear. You see, the ratings will increase as the game deepens. The final battle may not even have 6 million. If this is the case, Xiao Hua will be very eyed this year.

Seeing this, there may be a big brother on the list who is going to criticize me - how many games in the series are Xiao Hua able to decide?

He can really do it.

Look at the two time points of this year's finals.

The first one was G4. At that time, the Pacers actually suppressed the Thunder with 2:1 with all the soldiers. If G4 wins, the Pacers will be 3:1 Thunder, then the script will be almost the same as what we said above, but the leader has changed from Thunder to Pacer, and they will change the soup and not change the medicine.

So in the G4 game, you see that the Pacers players didn't talk about physical contact. They looked at Alexander and Halliburton was almost beaten to death by Dort. There was nothing wrong with it... It was nothing. Is it okay to even foul Halliburton... In the end, the Thunder, who was 11 points behind in the third quarter, leaned against the whistle (that was really leaning against the whistle), made a 31:17 offensive wave, and turned the game over. In the end, the big score was tied 2:2. At the press conference at the end of the game, the angry Pacers coach Carlisle was fined and had to make a fuss.

This game is the most ugly final in NBA history. None of them, the referee's purpose of intervening in the game is too obvious. He really doesn't want to act anymore. The referee Foster was pushed to the forefront at that time.

The second point is G6. Adam and Xiao Hua did not come to the scene. Old fans who are familiar with the NBA know that the routine after the finals was the president's award. At that time, the Thunder had already won the match point 3:2, but Xiao Hua did not come. What this means is self-evident. The result of the game is exactly the same as the prediction before the game. The Pacers defeated the Thunder in half and finally dragged the game into tiebreak.

Now you tell me, these are all coincidences? All God's will? No hidden operation?

I don't believe my big toes.

Of course, the main reason why the NBA cannot retain people is not the secret operation, but the game has become unpleasant.

Taking this game of tiebreaker seven that has not been seen in ten years as a sample, let me tell you why the current NBA is not good.

First of all, the first point is that the NBA has no defense anymore. The two teams play in this game in a very ugly way. If it weren't for the live broadcast introduction, I kept reminding me that this game was the NBA's tiebreak battle and the most important annual drama in the NBA. I thought he was playing in the preseason. The overall game between the two teams was extremely loose, loose, and had no spirit of competitive sports.

The specific performance is that the defensive players always keep a step away from the offensive players. They may be afraid of fouls, but they dare not go forward to press. The overall defense of the team has no linkage. They are all individual defenses. In the game, the offensive players will occasionally have large open spaces without defense within 300 meters, break through to the inside, and there is no clever attack. Either they sacrifice a foul that is so hard that it cannot be more hard. If you enter or do not enter such a ball, it will not stimulate the audience's senses, and the audience will be bored.

After talking about defense, let’s talk about offense, I will first put up a data. The Thunder made a total of 87 attempts in the tiebreak battle, including 40 three-pointers, and the Pacers made a total of 70 attempts, including 28 three-pointers. Almost half of the two teams made three-pointers, and Dingdang made all shots. The NBA has completely become a shooting game. As long as you shoot accurately, you can defeat all opponents.

Under the existing rules, the importance of three-pointers is a bit too high, which seriously breaks the balance of the game. For fans sitting in front of the TV, it is human, not human, go up and throw a few three-pointers, throw it in, and win the ball, and if you can't throw it in, the ball will lose. What else do you tell me?

The issues at both ends of offense and defense mentioned above are not the most important. The third point to be mentioned below is. The tiebreaker battle of

has been completed and the series has been completed. Is there any one who has watched the entire competition telling me what is the offensive and defensive system of the Thunder or Pacers?

The problem extends to the entire NBA. Now there are 30 NBA teams. Can anyone tell me what kind of basketball the team will play?

Don't tell me that it is a big core system with the ball in the ball frame - the star is in the game, and he rushed into the inside and scored two points. When he encountered a slitting attack, he threw out his teammates to shoot three-pointers, and he was called "the big core of the ball".

What do fans who like to watch NBA games like?

Is James dunking with two people alone? Or is Alexander step back and jump shot? Or Halliburton's super long three-pointer? If you like this, it means you are still old and are only interested in single stimulation of the senses. Of course, it is not impossible, but you will soon lose interest in basketball.

The most attractive thing about a real basketball game is actually offensive and defensive game, just like playing chess. What moves do I take, you have to find a way to crack it, and what moves do you take, and I have already developed a corresponding strategy. In many cases, what determines the winner and lose a game is not the single performance of the stars, but the control of the rhythm of the game.

For example, in the NBA twenty years ago, there were D'Antoni who played bombardment, Phil Jackson who played triangular offense, Van and Popovich who played position defense, Adelman who played Princeton, Van Gundy who played one-star shot, and of course, there were Doug Rivers who could achieve results by life or death. Everyone has their own unique skills, the five elements are incompatible, the game is rich in content, and the levels are full.

And now, three-pointers, whistle, free throw, foul, and another explosive dunk. What else is there besides these?

Of course, you can say that these are all old things and have been eliminated by the more scientific basketball algorithms now. Three-pointers are more scientific basketball, but the question is, more scientific basketball makes basketball unfavorable. Is this an improvement or a regression for basketball itself?

The problem facing Xiao Hua is now extremely serious. He has already taken out the big card of tiebreak in advance. The question is what to do next year? Another tiebreaker? It can be foreseeable that in the next 3-5 years, small-scale teams will not have any chance.

Okay, that's all the content of this article. What are the comments of the top brothers on the list about the NBA tiebreak battle this year? Let's discuss it together in the comment section. I feel that Fireworks has written well, and I hope to get a small like + attention to it, and I will encourage you. Thank you! Fireworks will continue to output high-quality original content to everyone.
