NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 1146 Wang Yi made a mistake, the Alliance corrected it

Other sponsors have long been unhappy with Nike.

So they have already met in private, thinking about changing this situation, and today is just such an opportunity.

Wang Yi was suspended for not wearing a Nike logo jersey, and the ratings of the league dropped sharply. This is a huge loss for other brands.

But at this time Xiao Hua is also riding a tiger.

The easiest way to increase ratings is to lift the ban on Wang Yi.

But first, if Wang Yi’s ban was lifted, there was no way to explain it to Nike. Second, I just said that if Wang Yi didn’t correct it, he would not be allowed to play again. As a result, Wang Yi was allowed to play in the next game. His face was slapped. Crackling.

Wang Yi's relationship has not changed, but the alliance has changed.

How can the alliance have any credibility in the future.

Xiao Hua was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Immediately notify the vice president of the NBA, and held a meeting overnight with several other executives.

If there was a meeting on this matter, Paul, the chairman of the players union, should be called by the way.

But firstly, Paul is playing a game, and secondly, the relationship between Paul and Wang Yi goes without saying, so if he is called, he will definitely turn to Wang Yi.

Ever since, Xiao Hua left Sacramento overnight, flew to New York, and went to the NBA headquarters.

On the way to NBA headquarters, Silver kept an eye on the numbers.

The result data showed that the Kings trailed by 3 points when the game reached the third quarter.

At this time, the number of real-time viewers is only about 400 million.

In the last 4 minutes of the 5th quarter, although the score could not be opened, it was still 7 points, but the number of real-time viewers had dropped below 400 million, leaving only 379 million.

In the end, the game was suspended because of Wang Yi. At the same time, Middleton and Antetokounmpo broke out at the same time on the Bucks side. Antetokounmpo scored 48 points and 16 rebounds.

The Kings lost the game.

The big score of the two sides came to 1:1.

Xiao Hua's side and a group of NBA executives have studied it all night but have not figured out why.

But everyone has dark circles under their eyes.

All the executives cursed inwardly.

You Xiao Hua's stupid things have made us tormented enough.

At 9:00 in the morning, Xiao Hua asked the secretary to pour a cup of coffee, intending to drink a cup of refreshment, and will call another meeting later.

However, just as he closed his eyes, the phone rang.

Turning on the phone, the call is from Los Angeles Lakers owner Jenny Buss.

Jenny Buss asked as soon as she opened her mouth: "Adam, are you planning to make all the bosses lose money? The final real-time viewership of the last finals was less than 400 million. This is the lowest point since you took over as NBA president."

"The league makes money by gaining attention. If you let the NBA's attention drop to freezing point, how will the owners of all the teams make money?"

"The reality tells you that banning Wang Yi is definitely the stupidest decision you have ever made in your life. You must take immediate measures to restore Wang Yi's playing qualifications."

Xiao Hua's head got a little big when he heard the words.

I complained in my heart: This year's finals without your Lakers, you didn't even make the playoffs, does the drop in the finals ratings have anything to do with you?What stupid decision did you say to me? Sending Wang Yi away is the stupidest decision in history.

Although he said so in his heart, he still dealt with Jenny Buss in his mouth.

Just hung up the phone, Bucks owner Herb Kerr called again.

Xiao Hua immediately answered respectfully.

He is the president of the NBA. To put it bluntly, he works for all the owners of the NBA.

Of course, he should be respectful when he receives calls from these bosses.

Naturally, the Bucks boss also said this.

In fact, although Herb is the owner of the Bucks, theoretically he should support Wang Yi's suspension.

But in fact, he is the fifth-lowest asset among all NBA bosses.

In the NBA, most owners have other industries, and the team is only a relatively small part of all his industries.

But Herb Cole was different.

Although he started in the retail industry, the retail industry has been hit hard in recent years due to the impact of the epidemic.

His assets have shrunk dramatically.

Except for the team, his remaining assets add up to 2 million US dollars, which is not as good as the fraction of other team owners.

So now the team's earnings are very important to him.

Now that Wang Yi is not playing, the ratings will drop sharply, and the team's revenue will also drop accordingly.

Of course this wasn't what he wanted to see.

Xiao Hua said some words and barely dealt with Herb Cole.

Just after hanging up the phone, the mayor of Sacramento called again.

Asked Xiao Hua why he wanted to suspend Wang Yi.

In this way, Wang Yi does not play games, which has already had an impact on the economy of Sacramento.

Many fans came to watch Wang Yi play. Now that Wang Yi is suspended, many fans will no longer come to Sacramento.

So those hotel restaurants and so on in Sacramento are affected.

The sporting goods store in Sacramento was previously crowded with people buying Wang Yi's jerseys and sneakers.

But in the two days since Wang Yi was suspended, the traffic of these sporting goods stores has dropped by two-thirds.

Next, calls came in one after another, and Xiao Hua was the first and the second big.

He thought that if Wang Yi was suspended for one game, at most, the number of viewers would be reduced, but he never expected that troubles would come one after another.

His phone was about to explode.

At this time, he even felt a little psychologically shadowed, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard the phone ring.

In the past, he liked hearing the phone ring the most, because it probably meant a big deal.

But today it's all trouble when the phone rings.

He had wanted to take a nap, but now it seemed impossible to take a nap.

At 10:05, his phone rang again.

He looked at the phone, and it showed a Chinese word: horse.

There was another sound in his heart, this time it was not a click, but a thud.

This horse is the CEO of the NBA Huaxia District and concurrently serves as the special assistant to the NBA president, Ma Xiaofei.

The duty of the special assistant to the NBA president is to send some information about the China market to the NBA president, and to communicate with the president on China's affairs.

After Xiao Hua answered the phone, he asked, "Ma, what's the situation in Huaxia?"

He could imagine that Huaxia must be very upset about Wang Yi's suspension.

Ma Xiaofei's voice came:

"Huaxia's reaction to Wang Yi's suspension was very intense. Netizens said that the suspension of Wang Yi was because the referee was helping the Bucks. Now the Bucks in China are called the Milwaukee referee team."

Xiao Hua heard that the long face had a tendency to continue to pull down.

But this is what he had expected before. In which year will there be no controversy in the NBA Finals.

Ma Xiaofei continued: "There has been a call on the Internet here, as long as the NBA does not lift the ban on Wang Yi, then the netizens here will no longer watch the NBA."

Just this sentence made Xiao Hua's long face a little longer.

The heart of the whole person began to feel cool.
