The opening game of the World Cup was an upset, and sports media all over the world began to report on it. The popularity was so high that it made the French team unable to hold their heads up, and at the same time, the whole world officially entered the World Cup month.

However, in China and the United States, NBA games attract much more attention than the World Cup.

The reason is also very simple. On the one hand, the current NBA games have reached the finals stage, and every game is thrilling.

For Chinese fans, because of Dazhi, the Lakers are half the home team, and the Lakers are currently experiencing a life-or-death battle, so it is surprising that the attention is not high.

The same goes for old American fans, because the Lakers, a team that vowed to build a dynasty, has entered a critical moment, so whether they are Lakers fans or not, everyone is focused on it at this moment.

The media and critics have various reports on this event. There are both good and bad news, but overall there are still more bad news. After all, the Lakers have won two consecutive championships and are a strong team, while the Kings are a weak team. Let's change it.

The angle is that the Lakers are the villains and the Kings are the dragon-slaying warriors. Of course, their support levels are different.

Therefore, the media not only looks down on the Lakers, but also creates a lot of new public opinion pressure.

For example, "The reason why the Lakers were upset was actually the disagreement between the generals", "O'Neal and Kobe Bryant had a fight in the locker room", "The Lakers are internally torn apart and the road to dynasty is in danger", "The Lakers boss is trapped in the heir apparent, and the Buss family

"Turn each other against each other" and all kinds of news that is hard to distinguish between true and false came out.

The media is like this, as long as you have a topic, I will take advantage of it.

This is not a subjective sense of praising the high and the low, but only by doing so can there be traffic and make money.

So the current pressure on the Lakers is simply unimaginable.

But again, because many media are involved, the popularity naturally remains high.

There is another reason why the popularity continues to rise, and that is related to "Joey, the Son of the Wind":

"If the Kings win today, the championship will basically be theirs."

"That's right, after killing the Lakers, there is a high probability that they will join the Nets in the Finals. The Nets are garbage, and the Kings can defeat them easily."

"The Lakers will not necessarily lose."

"It's already 2 to 3, why are you still so stubborn?"

"They are a championship team and they will definitely win this year.

"Don't talk about it. Reporters have broken the news. O'Neal and Kobe have conflicts and are at odds internally. It would be strange if they could win."

"That's it, the Lakers are over!"

"Yeah, do you think it's really easy to establish a dynasty?"

"Do you believe what the media is telling you? This is a tactic. Do you remember what happened to Jordan on the way to establishing a dynasty? Poisoning! A rock concert outside the hotel in the middle of the night! The purpose is to make Jordan lose his energy! But Jordan still won

Got it!"

"Hahaha, you said it too, that's Jordan. Do the current Lakers have Jordan?"

"Besides, even if there is pressure from public opinion, it will not affect the real strong ones, but what about your Lakers?"

"Admit it, your Lakers are dead, please say some last words!"

"That's right.

This is a common scene on old American campuses.

A group of fans from other teams surrounded a Lakers fan, and the Lakers fan could only argue with them.

But no matter how they argue, it is a fact that the Lakers were upset and fell behind. Therefore, the Lakers fans' argument seems very weak. They can only hold their breath and pray that the Lakers can rise up tonight and get rid of the sluggish state to prove themselves.

However, at this moment, a well-known sports reporter suddenly appeared on the TV and broadcast a message:

"At noon on May 31st, Washington time, "Son of the Wind" posted a new post on his personal blog. The content contained only one sentence: I will perform the new song "Dynasty" at Staples Stadium on June 5th.

The content of the brief broadcast was very simple, but the amount of information was huge, and it made almost all Lakers fans jump to their feet in an instant:

"Joey, it's Joey here! Hahaha, the Lakers are stable!"

"You are stupid, Joey is not a Lakers player."

"You are stupid, you don't even know who he is, he is the Son of the Wind!"

"Child of the Wind? I seem to have heard of it."

"Haha, then I have to teach you how to read.

At the same time, relevant sports reporters and media immediately grasped the key points.

That is, Jiang Yan is sure that the Lakers will win two games in a row, stage a comeback, and advance to the finals. Jiang Yan will sing the new song "Dynasty" in the first game of the finals, which means that Jiang Yan is still optimistic that the Lakers will successfully achieve the three goals.

Consecutive championship.

This time, the media were even happier.

These are all topics!

So before the game that day, all the TV commentators who were paying attention to the game began to join the discussion.

Who is Jiang Yan? As long as you are a basketball fan in the United States, there are very few people who don’t know that Jiang Yan is a Lakers fan.

And now, even those who are not basketball fans or don’t know Jiang Yan are still being exposed to the special relationship between Jiang Yan and the Lakers through commentators.

Later, people were even more surprised to discover that from the first time Jiang Yan came to the Lakers Arena in 1999, until now, Jiang Yan has appeared at home games a total of 26 times. Miraculously, the Lakers have achieved success in these 26 games.

victory!

And in 1999, Jiang Yan predicted that the Lakers would establish a dynasty. Not many people believed this at the time, but it is different now, because the Lakers are really only one step away from the dynasty.

In addition to these, the friendship between Jiang Yan and Dazhi, Jiang Yan and Kobe Bryant, O'Neal and others were also mentioned.

Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Yan's divine title as "Son of the Wind" will not be ignored under any circumstances.

So more people know about this amazing man Joey.

Now the "Son of the Wind" once again declared his position, or "prophecy", so with the official support of the NBA, he suddenly attracted a huge number of people who wanted to eat melons, so that tonight's life and death battle in the Lakers, among others

The ratings have once again risen to a terrifying level on top of their already high levels.

NBA President Stern almost burst out laughing when he looked at the real-time viewership data.

Because tonight's data is the highest in the past ten years. It is higher than Jordan's second three consecutive championships. It also exceeds this year's "China Derby" and "Jordan's successor battle" between the Wizards and the Lakers.

”.

This is all money!

Of course, the most important thing is whether the Lakers can really get Joey's "blessing" and truly realize the establishment of a new dynasty.

After all, the emergence of a new dynasty team is not an ordinary thing.

This is related to the NBA's gold content, ratings and even its status in the world.

So the NBA needs a new dynasty after Jordan.

But at the same time, the NBA does not need a simply established dynasty.

Fortunately, what the Lakers are experiencing now actually fits the script.

The Lakers are in a tough battle. The road to the dynasty is full of ups and downs. Today is another battle of life and death. If they lose, the road to the dynasty will collapse. If they win, everything will be back to the starting point. If they lose the next game, the road to the dynasty will still collapse.

, On the contrary, if a dynasty can be successfully established, then with the Lakers here in the next few years, NBA broadcast rights price negotiations and ratings will be well guaranteed.

So next, it depends on whether the Lakers can do their best.

Fortunately, the result was as Joey "predicted". The Lakers players seemed to be blessed by mysterious powers. They changed their previous sluggish state and successfully won the life-and-death battle on May 31st!

And it's not over yet. On June 2nd, the Lakers were still in great shape. They won another victory, eliminated the past, and successfully advanced to the finals.

In the finals, their opponent has been determined, that is, the Nets, whose paper strength and actual performance are not as good as the Kings.

In other words, the Lakers will really have a high probability of establishing a new dynasty this time!

This is a new dynasty after the basketball god Jordan, which is of great significance!

In addition, "Son of the Wind" Joey said that he will bring his new song "Dynasty" to the first game of the finals!

At this time, Chinese and American basketball fans, fans of Jiang Yan, and a large number of people who just wanted to see the magical "Son of the Wind" all focused their attention on the Staples Center on June 5th.

court.

Such a high-profile occasion naturally involves a number of Hollywood stars, and as the stars came to join the scene, their fans also cast their eyes, and soon many people noticed "The Son of the Wind", even if they didn't

Those who know that "Zone of the Wind" doesn't watch football or listen to music, and many of them also know that Jiang Yan in the report is the creator of the most popular song at the moment, and then they exclaimed "This is a godman" again, so in the finals

The ratings for the first game in North America were expected to skyrocket. Fortunately, there was no World Cup football match at the same time, otherwise FIFA would have been alarmed.

However, even if there is no conflict in the game time, FIFA is still alarmed. After all, Warner and Pepsi will not let go of this opportunity to promote Jiang Yan.

You see, when our "Children of the Wind" came, the popularity of basketball almost exploded for you, so do you want it?

The Football Federation didn't care much about it at first. After all, the difference between basketball and football is really big. Now it's the World Cup. No matter how good Jiang Yan is, he can't steal the popularity. In addition, Jiang Yan's popularity is indeed high, but after all, he

He is a basketball player, and he is not Japanese or Korean, so there are not many strong reasons for choosing him.

But after Jiang Yan performed at the Lakers' home court on June 5, FIFA couldn't sit still anymore due to Jiang Yan's popularity and a series of developments in the World Cup.

At 7:30 pm on June 5th, Los Angeles time, and 11:30 am on June 6th, BJ time, countless basketball fans have gathered in front of TV sets in China and the United States.

Today is the first game of the Lakers' finals. Logically speaking, today's attention will not be too high, but the previous wave of enthusiasm caused by the NBA and "Son of the Wind" Jiang Yan has made today's game a popular one.

The center of attention.
