Build a Dream Dynasty

Sometimes, it is very unfair to deny a player's efforts for a season because of a mistake in a game. For a rookie, it should not be the responsibility. However, the creatures of fans never pay attention to this, they can see more of the outcome of the game.

Fortunately, Leonard himself is a character who is not very keen on social media. His Twitter account is not updated very much every day. Apart from basketball, Leonard still has some hobbies of his own, such as fishing. , playing golf, etc., but during the playoffs, most of these hobbies are idle, and Leonard will spend some time watching game videos and studying opponents. Objectively speaking, his pure degree of basketball is very high.

Although the influence of the outside world on Leonard was not so great, after all, he made a mistake, and Leonard must have blamed himself. He is obviously more attentive and hard-working in his training, trying to atone for his sins in the next game, so hard that Stevens reminded him not to be affected by the external voices, the game should be Fight how you want, don't act recklessly!

Also seeing Leonard's efforts in his eyes, Jiang Mingliang was not too worried. He is very familiar with the temperament of robots. In the Nets, Bledsoe, Fernandez, and even George may come to the fore. Only Leonard, he will be able to keep calm.

Sure enough, in the fifth battle at the Continental Aviation Center, Leonard broke out. His outburst is not reflected in ball possession and emotions, but has made considerable contributions to his team with his excellent touch. In the first quarter of the game, Leonard made 2 three-pointers, plus the impact to the basket and free throws, and scored 9 points in a single quarter, becoming the team's first scoring point on the offensive end, which is somewhat surprising.

In the second quarter, Leonard hit 2 more three-pointers and scored 6 points again.

With 15 points at halftime and 5-of-7 three-pointers, Leonard terrified the 76ers, and the score between the two sides had already opened a 15-point difference at halftime. The score of 57:42 had the fans on the scene at halftime with a cheerful mood or going to the bathroom to open the floodgates, or heading to the store and crushing their wallets.

In the third quarter, Leonard's efficiency dropped slightly, but the 76ers failed to recover the score. Even with the explosion of the Nets' bench players, the score gap widened further, almost reaching 20 points or more.

In the fourth quarter, the 76ers struggled symbolically and gave up the game.

The final score was fixed at 116:97, and the Nets won at home by 19 points, swept away the haze of being overtaken by the opponent at the last moment in the away game.

Leonard, who scored a career-high 25 points in the playoffs in the whole game, was directly elected as the most valuable player of the game. Regarding the statement of "atonement" put forward by reporters, Leonard was the first Time denied it.

"The end of the last game didn't affect our team. We've been playing according to Coach Stevens' tactics. I had a good feel for today's game, especially the streak in the opening phase that boosted my confidence, and then We gained some advantages and kept the advantage until the end. This is our whole team effort, this victory is very important for us, and I hope the game will get a good result the day after tomorrow.”

In a best-of-seven format, Game 5 is unquestionably the top priority. The data shows that the probability that the team that wins the battle of Tianwangshan will be over 80% in the final series, and the victory of this game also gives the Nets enough confidence to win the series. Apologizing to Leonard has also become a hot topic in NBA forums on Twitter.

The Eastern Conference semifinals are in full swing, and the Nets are just one game away from winning the Eastern Conference semifinals. When the team went to Philadelphia, Jiang Mingliang did not go with the team for the first time in the team's journey of the series. A major event forced him to stay in New York.

This major event comes from the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States, referred to as NBC, one of the three major commercial radio and television companies in the United States (the other two are CBS, CBS, and ABC, the full name of the American Broadcasting Corporation). It is the oldest and strongest in the United States. commercial broadcaster.

The Nets, the former fish-belly team, jumped up to become the top four teams in the Eastern Conference regular season record, advanced to the second round of the playoffs, and have great hopes of entering the Eastern Conference finals. The team has a large number of young people. , full of potential. It may be too early to say what kind of dynasty will be built, but it is really not difficult to say that it is not difficult to maintain the top competitiveness of the East for a long time, as long as you don't be a demon.

Jiang Mingliang, Stevens' transformation into magic brought a higher topic to this team. After all, Anthony will eventually get old and retire, but the general manager and head coach, most of the time, age is not a problem. This also brought NBC's idea of ​​negotiating regional broadcast rights with the Nets into practice.

The first broadcast contract they offered to the Nets was as high as 5 years and 450 million!

What concept is this? NBA teams sell their broadcast rights to regional TV stations for an average of only about $42 million. Many people only see that the Lakers can receive a huge contract of 75 million (Time Warner's contract has not been signed), but they do not see any Milwaukee Bucks. The Oklahoma City Thunder's income in this regard is only 20 million to 25 million. .

The Nets sold the broadcast rights to a local TV station in New Jersey this season, and the harvest was only 40 million. NBC's contract directly more than doubled its revenue.

However, Jiang Mingliang was not satisfied with this. The target he directly took out was the huge 20-year, 3 billion broadcast contract that the Lakers signed with Warner in the future. Once this contract is signed, the Lakers no longer have to be afraid of the luxury tax!

3 billion in 20 years? In the internal meeting of the team management ~www.readwn.com~ When Jiang Mingliang proposed this number, even Wil Craig seemed to knock him on the head. Please, even if you're thriving now, don't compare yourself to the Lakers! What is the Lakers team? That's the king of Los Angeles! We are still developing the market! Where did the capital come from to challenge the Lakers!

The fan base needs to be developed slowly, and the market value needs to be managed slowly. After another ten years of accumulation, the Nets may not be able to get a contract comparable to the Lakers. Why? Because New York has the Yankees!

"I certainly don't expect us to get a contract of this level directly. After all, I will recognize the objective gap. But I want to list some conditions in our favor. MSG TV is affiliated with the owner of the New York Knicks, Dolan. , this belongs to the left-handed and right-handed. NBC can't possibly get the broadcast rights of the New York Knicks. If they want to eat the basketball cake, they must cooperate with us. In addition, our home will also be the most modern and the most modern in the NBA. A home for the sense of technology, relying on our Barclays Center, relying on our team, we will definitely gain a firm foothold in New York!" Jiang Mingliang said arrogantly.

"How are you going to talk to NBC?"

"Like Yokohama tires, floating! Or, to put it another way, the regular season and the playoffs are sold separately!"
