Build a Dream Dynasty

Sometimes, it is very unfair to deny a player's hard work for a season because of a mistake in a game, and for a rookie, that should not be shouldered. However, creatures like fans never pay attention to this. What they can see is more about the outcome of the game.

Fortunately, Leonard himself belongs to the kind of character who is not very keen on social media. His Twitter account is not updated 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. Leonard will spend some time watching game videos and studying opponents. Objectively speaking, his level of purity in basketball is very high.

Although external voices did not have that great influence on Leonard, after all, he made a mistake, and Leonard must have blamed himself. He was full of energy and wanted to atone for his sins in the next game. He was obviously more attentive and worked harder in training. He worked so hard that Stevens reminded him not to be affected by the outside voice. Hit as you like, don't act recklessly!

Jiang Mingliang also saw Leonard's efforts in his eyes, but Jiang Mingliang was not very worried. He is very familiar with the temperament of robots. In the Nets, Bledsoe, Fernandez, and even George may come up, but Leonard, he must be able to keep calm.

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

In the second quarter of the game, Leonard hit two more three-pointers and scored another 6 points.

With 15 points in the half and 4 of 6 three-pointers, Leonard frightened the 76ers. The score between the two sides had opened up by 15 points at halftime. The score of 57:42 made the fans at the scene go to the bathroom to turn on the water with happy emotions during the intermission, or go to the store and squeeze their wallets.

In the third quarter of the game, Leonard's efficiency dropped slightly, but the 76ers failed to recover the score. Even with the explosion of the Nets' bench players, the point difference further widened, almost reaching the goal. More than 20 points.

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

The final score was fixed at 116:97. The Nets beat their opponents by 19 points at home, sweeping away the haze of being overtaken by their opponents at the last moment in the away game.

Leonard, who scored 25 points in the playoffs of his career, was directly elected as the most valuable player of the game. Regarding the reporter's "redemption" statement, Leonard was the first Time denied it.

"The end of the last game did not affect our team. We have been playing according to the tactics of Coach Stevens. I feel good in today's game, especially the consecutive hits in the opening stage inspired my confidence, and then We gained some advantages and maintained them until the end. This is the effort of our whole team, this victory is very important to us, and we hope the game the day after tomorrow will achieve a good result."

In the seven-game four-win format, the fifth game is undoubtedly the top priority. Statistics show that the team that won the battle of Tianwangshan has a probability of more than 80% of the series. The victory of this game also gave the Nets the confidence to win the series. Apologizing to Leonard has also become a hot topic on NBA forums on Twitter.

The Eastern Conference semifinals are in full swing, and the Nets are only one game away from winning the Eastern Conference semifinals. When the team headed to Philadelphia and made preparations, Jiang Mingliang did not go with the team for the first time in the team's series journey. 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 broadcasting companies in the United States (the other two are CBS American Columbia Broadcasting Corporation and ABC, the full name of American Broadcasting Corporation), which is the oldest and most powerful in the United States. commercial broadcasting company.

The Nets, once a big team, jumped up and became the top four teams in the regular season in the East. They advanced to the second round of the playoffs and had great hopes of entering the Eastern Conference finals. The team has a lot of young people , full of potential. It may be too early to say what kind of dynasty to build, but it is really not difficult to maintain the top competitiveness in the East for a long time, as long as you don't be a monster.

Jiang Mingliang, Stevens' transformation of decay into magic has brought a higher degree of topicality to this team. After all, Anthony will eventually grow old and retire, but the general manager and head coach, most of the time, age is not a problem. This also makes the idea of ​​NBC discussing regional broadcast rights with the Nets to the point of implementation.

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

What concept is this? Each NBA team sells their broadcast rights to regional TV stations, and the average income is only about 42 million US dollars. Many people only saw that the Lakers can receive a huge contract of 75 million (Time Warner's contract has not been signed), but they can't see the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Oklahoma City Thunder's income in this regard is only 20 million to 25 million .

The Nets sold the revenue from this broadcasting right to a local TV station in New Jersey this season, and the harvest was only 40 million. The NBC contract directly doubled the income.

However, Jiang Mingliang was not satisfied with this. What 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 any luxury tax!

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

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

"Of course I 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 that are beneficial to us. MSG TV belongs to the owner of the New York Knicks. Dolan , This is left-handed and right-handed. It is impossible for NBC to obtain the broadcast rights of the New York Knicks anyway. If they want to eat basketball cakes, they must cooperate with us. In addition, our home court will also be the most modern and most modern in the NBA. With a home stadium with a sense of technology, relying on our Barclays Center and our team, we will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in New York!" Jiang Mingliang said proudly.

"How are you going to talk to NBC?"

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