NBA is a very pure commercial alliance. It plays a few more games and has more gimmicks. The most direct benefit is that it can sell more tickets, sell more peripherals, and sell more advertisements.

In the long run, the longer the game, the more exciting it is, you can sign a larger contract with the TV station. You should know that the broadcast contracts signed by NBA and TV station are calculated based on 10 billion!

These are the most important sources of income for the alliance.

In fact, this is also the reason why the NBA has back-to-back games and why there are 82 games in the regular season.

From the perspective of competition and athletes, the 82 regular season super long schedule is extremely unreasonable and completely unnecessary.

If the regular season schedule is shortened, the energetic players may play harder and make the regular season more exciting.

But for business reasons, 82 regular season games are very necessary. Only by lengthening the schedule can the league make enough money.

In recent years, due to the three-legged rivalry of the Cavaliers, Warriors and Grizzlies, the excitement of the playoffs has been greatly reduced.

For example, this year, the three teams did not lose before meeting and swept all the way. The result was that the league's playoff benefits plummeted.

After all, a game without suspense cannot attract the attention of fans. Faced with such a situation, Adam Joke also came up with his own way of dealing with it.

When Stern was there, at most, he was a star whistle. But now after the jokes took power in the past few years, it is not a superstar whistle, but a backward whistle!

After Mr. Joke came to power in 2014, there were 5 tiebreaks in the first round of the playoffs that year! After that, he frequently appeared in the side behind in the playoffs, and was taken care of by the referee and approached the score.

Forced suspense, this is the way to save the NBA playoffs!

Now, seeing the grand NBA finals ending so hastily, the jokes will naturally not be indifferent.

So today, he moved the "backward whistle" system to the Federal Express Arena.

"Nicola Jokic made a defensive foul, Kelly Irving will stand on the free throw line. We see that Coach Joggel is completely furious, and we rarely see him losing his temper on the court. But today, Coach Joggel has exploded repeatedly!"

Mike Bryn felt a little heartbroken when he saw Jogel losing his temper.

As long as you are not blind, you can see that the referee's whistle is very biased towards the Cavaliers today.

The Cavaliers will not blow any balls that can be blown or not, and the Grizzlies will not let go.

In the long run, a few extra free throws do not seem to change the game trend.

But if this partiality occurs at a critical moment, it can really influence the situation of the game.

At this time, the game had reached the eighth minute of the fourth quarter. The Memphis Grizzlies were 7 points behind the Cavaliers.

If Kelly and Irving make both free throws, the score difference will be widened to 9 points!

The difference in 9 points is a big gap in the fourth quarter.

Link sat on the bench, gritting his teeth.

The reason why the Cavaliers are so far ahead today is not only because they have obtained more free throws and ball rights, but also because Link's playing time has been reduced due to the number of fouls today.

After being banned two fouls in the first quarter, Jogel did not let him play in the whole first quarter in order to protect Link.

By the middle and late stages of the third quarter, Link had already won 4 fouls in total.

Seeing this, Jogel replaced Link again. He sat on the bench and sat until now.

So, the Cavaliers seized the opportunity of Link being absent and laid an advantage in one fell swoop.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the "backward whistle" of the joke that has brought the Cleveland Cavaliers who have given up to life.

This is not the first time Link has encountered this situation. In the 2012 Western Conference Finals, the Grizzlies vs. The Thunder.

That year, the Grizzlies were still a small team that was not as good as the top team. At that time, no one would have been stupid enough to compare Link and Durant, and the two were not players of the same level at all.

At that time, the energetic Thunder was still the hottest target of the league.

So, in that round of the Western Conference Finals, the Grizzlies were also "sanctioned" by the referee.

In the end, the Grizzlies also fell at the gate of the finals and were eliminated by the Thunder.

It was also after that that Robert Pera acquired the Grizzlies and Link started his path to becoming a superstar.

Although many years have passed since this incident and although the "Thunder Three Waves" have long been disbanded, Link still remembers this incident freshly.

But Link didn't expect that after he had become the most dominant star in the league, he would still encounter such a thing.

Jogel's angry verb was finally punished with a technical foul.

Jogel had been called a skilled prisoner before, so he was directly sent off the court.

Jogel pulled off his tie and hit the ground suddenly. He had never experienced such a shameless game!

Even if he was sent off, he was still swearing.

The championship was obviously at hand, but the referee forced it away. Who could stand this kind of thing?

"Coach Jogger was sent off, and now, Coach Quinn Snyder can only continue to coach the game. The situation is very unfavorable to the Grizzlies. Will this game become a turning point in the entire finals?"

Mike Bryn had to yell at the top of his voice, because the entire stadium had been drowned by the booing of the fans.

Snyder, who looked like a bad guy, was forced to take over the coaching stick, but he was not panicked. After all, he had long had the ability to stand alone.

In original history, he also did a great job with the Jazz as the head coach.

After sending Joggle into the player channel, Snyder hurried back to the bench and walked to Link.

"Link, there are eight minutes left in the game, it's up to you. Be careful on the defensive end. Today, those bastards are obviously targeting us. You have already committed four fouls, don't give them the chance to get you out!"

Link nodded and stood up from the bench.

In 2012, in the face of unfair treatment from the alliance, Link was helpless.

He could only watch the video of the game all night after the series to comfort and numb himself.

He could only look at Durant despising himself with a proud face.

But now...

Link stood up and looked at Adam in the stands. The joke.

That bald man was always against him!

I have created a new All-Star voting rule and also crazily praised the Warriors. I am timid on the surface, but my hands behind my back are more ill-fated than anyone else!

But it doesn't matter, Link is completely different from that back then.

In 2012, Link was still unable to fight against the alliance.

But now, Link won't let the joke succeed easily!

"I know, Quinn. Don't worry, I have to win this championship tonight no matter what! No matter who it is, I can't break our plan."

After Link finished speaking, he was ready at the technical desk.

At this time, Irving made the first free throw, and the Grizzlies took the opportunity to substitute.

Link walked up and high-five with Richardson.

Richardson was tortured to death by James today, but he kept gritting his teeth and persevering, and did not give up. Even though the strength gap between the two sides was very large, Richardson was not frightened.

After high-fives, Link hugged Richardson, who was sweating, and patted him on the back.

"Thank you for your hard work, boy. You've done a good job. Next, let me leave it."

"I believe you, Link." Richardson walked off the court panting. Just now, he was suppressed by the Cavaliers. Richardson was very desperate.

But now, after seeing Link appear again, he instantly felt much more at ease.

He knew that Link would never let everyone down.

"Link has played again. He is troubled by fouls and does not play much time today. I hope that in the last eight minutes of the game, Link will help the team overcome the difficulties."

Link stepped into the court and took a deep breath.

When he thinks of Rachel who is still waiting for him to go back in the hospital, and when he thinks of the fans' expectant eyes, Link feels full of strength.

No one can stop him from leaving the championship in Memphis, not even the league president!

So Link looked up and pointed to the joke in the stands.

Now, he is not just fighting the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Link has also officially issued a letter of war to the league president!
Chapter completed!
