It s officially announced! After enduring for 4 years, the NBA gave up Zion

NBA officially announced all schedules of 30 teams today, among which the news of this schedule was announced that everyone is most concerned about the number of live broadcasts across the United States, because this thing involves proving which team is the "king of traffic".

This year, as the NBA has reached a new 11-year 76 billion media copyright, live streaming across the United States is also increasing.

The 247 live broadcasts across the United States have set a new record, with streaming Amazon Prime three times a week, ESPN two times a week, and Peacock four times a week, while ABC and NBC each have two games on TV.

Among them, the two major traffic volumes, the Lakers and the Warriors are still the number one in the league and have 34 games exclusively. There will be at least one live broadcast in the United States in 3 games.

And the Knicks, the highest market value in the NBA, also had 34 games. The two teams that followed were also the biggest dark horses of the season, the Timberwolves and the Rockets. Edwards and the Timberwolves finally won the league's favor after two consecutive Western Conference Finals.

The Timberwolves soared from 18 games to 28 games, while the Rockets even more exaggeratedly rose from 3 games to 28 games. (The Rockets entered the NBA Cup semi-finals during the season, and then ranked second in the West and added 5-8 games at the end of the season)

Because of Durant's signature in the new season, Harden returned to the top traffic trend after the era.

Some people are happy and some people are worried. The five teams, Nets, Pelicans, Jazz, Raptors and Wizards, have only 2 games tied for the lowest level in the league in the United States.

If the number of live broadcasts in the United States had not increased this year, it would have been estimated that 1-2 of these five teams might have only one game.

The Pelicans are really sad. Zion joined the NBA in the 19-20 season as the No. 1 pick, and they won 30 national live broadcasts, which not only far exceeded the Pelicans' record in history, but also created a rare attention from the league in the league at that time.

Among them, ESPN in the national live broadcasts has given the Pelicans 11 national live broadcasts alone.

NBA official recommended him as "Next James".

The Pelicans' previous record of live broadcasts in the United States was only 13 games, and Zion's addition directly caused the live broadcasts to soar by 130%, becoming a miracle of the ratings of teams in the small-season market at that time. The Pelicans arranged four live broadcasts across the United States in the first five games of the season. Trying to maximize the use of Zion's traffic potential, he was also injured before the season start...

But even though his debut was delayed to his debut on January 23, 2020 (versus the Spurs), ESPN temporarily cut the original Rockets vs. Nuggets game to make it live.

Unfortunately, Zion has only played 114 games in the past four years, and the Pelicans' National Live Streaming has also scored from 30 to 14 games. In his best year, he gave him another chance to rise to 18 games next season, and then he was reimbursed again for the season.

The Pelicans' national live broadcasts have dropped to 12 games in the last two seasons (3 games were cut in the season), and then 2 games this year.

With the new darlings Edwards, Flag, and Wenban, the revival giants such as the Mavericks and Spurs have won 20+ live broadcasts across the United States, and Zion will no longer be the traffic darling in the future.

will never be.
