June 15th, the NBA Finals are currently tied 2-2, and the outside world is constantly talking about referees' control. Today, NBA famous reporter Vincenter talked about this on the show.

Wenpang said: "Everyone is calculating the ratings, it's OK, but you see, these are just two small markets, you can't break the record. This is what I often say, and I have said it for many years, but people don't seem to understand it."

"The NBA is a quantity-first business, and they are interested in the number of games. Stern once said a famous saying that the ideal matchup in the NBA Finals is the Lakers vs. The Lakers. But, If you really give Xiao Hua a choice, is it the Lakers sweep the opponent directly against the Celtics in the Finals or the Thunder ends in six or seven games against the Pacers in the Finals. There is no doubt that Xiao Hua will choose the latter because every Finals has value, including tickets and global media copyright revenue, and once you count everything in, you may have about $100 million in profit per game. So the NBA wants them to play a few more games." Wen Pang added.
