It's NBA All-Star Weekend, everyone! A carnival full of three-point rain, star-studded, and explosive ratings. Imagine 10 million viewers across the U.S. sitting in front of a television and watching every action on the court with their eyes on what would be like a basketball version of the Super Bowl. Moreover, this number is an increase of 54% from last year! Yes, you heard it right, an increase of 54%! What does this mean? It means that our basketball program is becoming more and more popular!
The first is of course Lillard, the three-point contest champion and the MVP of the All-Star Game. This guy hit a three-pointer in the last 30 seconds, and it was like he was in cheating mode. And Curry, the eternal three-point king, beat Ionescu with a high score of 29 points, which is higher than Lillard's score for winning the championship, which is simply a beautiful sight on the court.
Speaking of the peak of ratings, of course, it was the moment Curry beat Ionescu, and the number soared to 5.4 million. Think about it, 5.4 million people are looking at the same thing at the same time, isn't this feeling a bit like the atmosphere of the national joint entrance examination?
And the Masters, that's the icing on the cake. There are big stars such as Wang Hedi participating in the competition, and the average number of people has reached 1.565 million, and the peak number of people has reached 2 million. It seems that with basketball and stars, this combination is really invincible!
As for the All-Star Game, the total viewership reached a staggering 11.6 million, an increase of 20% from last year, and the average viewership was also 5.5 million, an increase of 14%. Although some people say that the All-Star Game made 168 three-pointers and was not enough to watch, such ratings were enough to overshadow all the critics.
It seems that this series of reforms and innovations in the NBA league, such as the resumption of the four-quarter confrontation between the East and the West, the addition of stub target points, etc., have really had an effect. Especially when James, Curry and Durant are on the same team, it's a dream combination for basketball fans, how can it not be appealing?
This year's NBA All-Star Weekend, whether it is a wonderful matchup on the court or a viewing boom in front of the TV, once again proves the charm and influence of basketball as a sport on a global scale. Curry's pinnacle moment is not only a highlight moment of the players' careers, but also a fond memory in the hearts of every basketball fan.
So the question is, which star do you think will be the biggest winner in the next NBA All-Star Weekend? Or what are some new reforms and innovations that will make our All-Star Weekend even more exciting? Fans, we look forward to your comments and discussions! February** Dynamic Incentive Program
