Before this year's NBA Finals started, they were not favored by the outside world and thought that the popularity was not very high! Especially this year's first final against the Pacers, according to media reports, the final with the lowest ratings since 1988 (excluding the two restricted finals held in the park in 2020 and 2021).

However, after three games in the finals, the ratings gradually increased. Among them, the Pacers and Thunder Finals G3 hit a peak ratings in the evening, with a viewership of 11.54 million viewers. The first three games of the NBA Finals have accumulated more than 1.5 billion views on global social media platforms, setting a record high.

So, it's not that no one in the NBA has watched it or is no longer popular. It is not the two championship teams in this year that are in the small ball market and there is no popularity. The simple thing is that at the beginning, everyone thought that the Thunder would easily win the opponent and win the championship. Everyone thinks that the game is unsurprising and cannot attract everyone's attention.

But now it's different. The Pacers slapped everyone in the face and led the Thunder 2-1 with a big score. It’s hard to say who can win the championship in the end. The excitement of the game continues to increase, and the suspense of the game is gradually increasing. This reverse slap in the face is attracting more fans to watch, so more and more people are paying attention to this round of game.
