According to the news released by CCTV Sports, at 9 am on October 10, Beijing time, CCTV5 Sports Channel will live broadcast the fifth game of the NBA finals. If we calculate it from CCTV's announcement of canceling broadcasting of the NBA in October last year, a whole year has passed! In this year, CCTV canceled the broadcast of NBA regular season and playoffs , and even the most popular All-Star game was not broadcasted. Why did this rebroadcast choose the fifth game of the finals?
We have to see what kind of game this is. Currently, the Lakers lead the Heat with a big score of 3-1, and the Lakers are far higher than the Heat on paper. James' previous career series finale was 79.2%, which means that if he could win the series with just one game, James is 80% sure! In other words, this is likely to be the last NBA game of the season, and it ends after the game.
A year ago, CCTV announced the cancellation of broadcasting NBA games, which received unanimous praise from fans, but time has passed long enough that everything has to be forward. CCTV also wants to bring NBA games to the audience, so they chose the last game of the season. If the Lakers successfully win the Heat, there will be about two months offseason after the end of this game. At that time, CCTV itself will have a lot of time to analyze, adjust and communicate, and decide whether to continue broadcasting NBA games. If fans do not respond well and are full of criticism on the Internet, they can also stop the broadcasting behavior in time and continue to study before making decisions. On the contrary, if the feedback is good, they will have more time to prepare and do a good job of broadcasting next season.
Objectively speaking, this is a "really fragrant" thing. People are terrifying. Even if they are as powerful as CCTV, they have to make decisions depending on the situation. It is quite like walking on thin ice.
Some clues can also be seen from the time CCTV announced the news. The most popular news column of sports channel is the sports news at 12 noon and the sports news at 6 pm. The number of viewers in sports world at 8 pm is very small because this is the so-called "golden time" of traditional TV media. The host of Sports World announced the news at about 9:30. At this time, children may be doing their homework or sleeping, and young people are watching TV shows. Those who are a little healthier should have gone to bed. It can be seen that CCTV does not want its broadcast decision to cause too much discussion, so the last program on the day before the game date was officially announced by the host.
In any case, the fifth game of the finals this time is just a positive signal. It does not mean that CCTV will fully accept the NBA from now on, nor does it mean that the NBA game next season will appear on CCTV's TV screen. Everything depends on the result of this broadcast. In such a developed era of the Internet, any accident may bring curses, and no one is not afraid. For fans, it is undoubtedly a good thing if CCTV can re-air the NBA from now on. We have another choice when watching the game. Fans have not heard their voices for excellent commentators such as Yu Jia and Xu Jicheng for a long time.
Dear readers, do you support CCTV's decision to re-broadcast the NBA? Which commentator do you want to hear explain the game?
