NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Chapter 139 [139] Heat luxury cruise team building, Lin Fei broke 11 meters in [-] seconds!
The tragedy of being eliminated in last year's finals is still vivid in our minds.

Especially Lin Fei's corner three-pointer in G2 against Hamilton who fell to the ground.

It has become an eternal pain in the hearts of Pistons players and fans.

At the Pistons' press conference, head coach Larry Brown and the Pistons' top five targeted Lin Fei at every turn in their speeches, both overtly and covertly, and it was almost written on their faces:
"The Pistons can lose, but Lin Fei must die!"

With only the last four teams from the Eastern and Western Conferences left in the playoffs, the NBA officially teamed up with ESPN to launch the latest edition of the Finals MVP rankings.

New MVP Dwayne Wade is proud of his success, and is generally favored by the media and experts. They believe that with the support of the Heat's strong strength,
Wade is very hopeful to achieve the achievement of double MVP in a single season like Kevin Garnett did last season.

Therefore, Wade is well deserved to be ranked No. 1 on this ranking list.

Although Lin Fei was the leading scorer in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Wade's comprehensiveness was still fully demonstrated, and after Lin Fei developed dribbling three-pointers, his shooting percentage also dropped significantly.

With his efficient output of 9 three-pointers per game and 31.5 points per game in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Lin Fei ranked No. 2 in the Finals MVP list, just like Wade.

The Spurs' Tim Duncan is third.

With the complete fall of the Lakers dynasty, the Spurs have few opponents in the Western Conference this season. Although the Phoenix Suns have risen rapidly, they still lack the foundation for the playoffs.

More experts predict that the Spurs will defeat the Suns in the Western Conference Finals. The Suns' run-and-gun tactics can only shine in the regular season, but it will be difficult to stand out in the finals.

After all, the Suns' tactical play is too advanced, completely in the style of the small ball era, but they don't have a good enough team. Steve is not Curry.

Duncan holds two regular season MVPs and two championships + FMVP. The core honors of 2+2+2 are enough to make him an outstanding player in the current NBA league.
It's not much better than Shaquille O'Neal's 1+3+3. In terms of historical status, he is the absolute second super giant in active service.

Tim Duncan in the 03 Finals could be described as a god descending from the earth, leading the team to win the championship with a standard single core.

Now Duncan has just turned 29 and is at the peak of his career.

Although the Spurs' curse of winning in odd-numbered years has not yet appeared during this period, this year's Spurs are strong and healthy, and they are indeed the team most qualified to compete with the Heat.

Ranked No. 4 on the FMVP list is the Heat again, with Shaquille O'Neal getting stronger.

In the regular season this season, O'Neal played healthy basketball and adjusted his physical condition very well. Pat Riley's management contributed a lot in this regard.

For O'Neal himself, he has already won three FMVPs with the Lakers. This honor no longer has much appeal to him. His goal is to win another championship for himself.
Because this core fourth championship can not only once again enhance O'Neal's historical status and allow him to firmly enter the top ten in history, in addition,

It can also prove to Lakers fans that without Kobe, O'Neal can still win the championship.

The core boss of a team will never be fettered by the second boss.

Ranked No. 5 is Chauncey Billups of the Pistons, No. 6 is Stoudemire of the Suns, and No. 7 is Steve Nash...

In the Suns' Western Conference semifinals matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, "Little Bully" Stoudemire fully demonstrated his explosive scoring power, averaging 33.5 points per game, the highest in the league.

The entire league is touting Stoudemire, believing that he has reached the MVP level and will even become the ceiling for the league's insiders after O'Neal.

But only Lin Fei, a time traveler, could understand that without Nash, Stoudemire wouldn't even be an All-Star.

Before the start of the Eastern and Western Conference finals, Heat boss Mickey Arison also personally organized team building for the entire Heat team.
Take a luxury cruise of your own company, swim in the Caribbean on the south shore of Miami, browse the blue sea and sky, eat the most expensive seafood, and drink expensive red wine.

On the Forbes Global Rich List just released at the beginning of this year, Mickey Arison ranked 59th in the world with a net worth of US$69 billion.
This net worth was quite rich in 2005. Among the thirty team owners in the NBA, Arison's net worth was second only to Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen.

Comparing Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor, you can see the gap. Even though the Timberwolves' market value soared after winning the championship, Taylor's current worth is only about US$7 million.

During this time in 2005, the average market value of the NBA's 30 teams was only $3.2 million.

Before the start of this season, the Heat's market value was less than 3 million, which is below the league's average market value.
With Pat Riley's amazing operation, the Heat, now led by the Big Three, have become the biggest favorites to win the championship in the 04-05 season.
Tickets for the American Airlines Arena have been sold to the point where it is hard to get a ticket, and the total revenue from pre-sale tickets for the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals has set a record in team history.

According to ESPN's latest estimates, the Heat's current market value has exceeded US$4 million, a surge of at least 45% from before the start of the season.

Alisson is a successful businessman. The team has helped him make money, and he is naturally happy to reward these players.

Although he is not a basketball fan, Arison still likes these two young men Wade and Lin Fei because they represent the future of the Heat.

Arison is not a man who is short of money. If he can, he will do his best to retain these two potential stocks and create a dynasty for the Heat.

Of course, the dynasty itself does not mean much to a businessman like Arison. He has only one purpose, and that is to make money, make money, and make more money.

In the western part of the Caribbean Sea, a giant cruise ship sailed slowly on the endless blue sea.

At this time, Lin Fei and his Heat teammates were in the luxurious seafood buffet restaurant on the 12th floor of the cruise ship, eating delicacies while admiring the ocean view through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

This high-end seafood buffet restaurant on the cruise ship normally costs 600 US dollars per person, which is equivalent to nearly 5000 yuan in Chinese currency. It can be said to be extremely luxurious.

This is the largest cruise ship of Arison's Carnival Company, called the Caribbean. It is 15 stories high, has a deck area equivalent to three football fields, and can accommodate more than 3 tourists.

Although Lin Fei is well-informed, this is the first time he has boarded such a luxurious cruise ship and enjoyed the top-notch services.

You must know that this cruise ship is half the size of the world-famous "Titanic" in the movie.

"70% of the world is ocean. When you are in the ocean, you can forget all your worries, because the ocean can accommodate everything you have!"

Wade suddenly sighed emotionally, as if he was transforming from the Flash into a poet. As he spoke, he gnawed on the claws of a Boston lobster.

O'Neill drank a glass of brandy, leaned back in his chair and touched his big belly contentedly, full of humanistic care:
"Dwayne, not everyone in the world is as rich as us. When you are eating Boston lobster and lamenting that you forget your worries,"

"Then I can say clearly that it is not the sea that makes you forget your troubles, but the beautiful knife!" "Because in this world, there are many poor people who will never be able to eat lobsters in their lives, nor will they ever see the sea once in their lives, let alone Forget about getting on a luxury cruise ship!”

Everyone laughed along.

Wade puffed up his cheeks and spread his hands: "Shaquille, you are noble, but the poor in this world can never be saved. They must learn to change their destiny on their own!"

"Even if you only sell your sneakers for $19 a pair, some people will still think they are expensive. This is the reality!"

Lin Fei, who was sitting next to Wade, also joked:
"Yes, Shaquille. After the recent game, fans have given me advice, saying why my Anta signature shoes are so expensive, and why can't I learn from our great Mr. Shaq!"

Lin Fei has always maintained the strict eating habits that an athlete should have. Even if he is faced with a dazzling array of delicacies, he will actively refuse those high-calorie and high-fat foods.

Refrain from drinking alcohol unless necessary, and only drink milk and freshly squeezed fruit juices.

Long-term diet and training day and night have indeed made Lin Fei's body stronger and more perfect now.

In the latest body profile, Lin Fei's bare foot height has stabilized at 1.95 meters, 1.97 meters with shoes, and a wingspan of 2.12 meters.
After nearly a year of steady weight gain, Lin Fei's weight has reached 93 kilograms with a constant body fat rate, and his bench press strength has increased to 115 kilograms.

The substantial increase in weight did not affect Lin Fei's speed, which surprised the Heat's assistant coach the most.

In the latest 10.98-meter sprint test, Lin Fei ran a time of 11 seconds. This was also the first time that Lin Fei broke the [-]-second mark in a [-]-meter sprint.

Also testing and competing with Lin Fei at that time were Wade, Jason Williams, Shane Battier and Tony Allen.

In the end, Wade crossed the line first, but he was only half a body faster than Lin Fei, with a time of 10 seconds.

The Flash, who is known for his speed, was only 0.06 seconds faster than Lin Fei this time.

White Chocolate, Shane Battier and Tony Allen were all left behind by Lin Fei.

Of course, this is not the fastest speed of his teammates. Allen's 11-meter sprint is within 10 seconds, while the "Flash"'s 8-meter sprint can reach a maximum of [-] seconds.

Wade posted a video of the 11-meter sprint race with Lin Fei on his personal social account, and congratulated him for breaking the [-]-second mark.
At the same time, he also praised Lin Fei's improvement in speed and praised him for even having the potential to surpass himself.

Wade's post quickly attracted fans' attention, and the number of comments and reposts quickly exceeded [-].

The news soon spread to the country.

Domestic fans also rushed to Lin Fei’s official account registered on New Wolf.com, and millions of fans continued to comment:
"10 meters in 98 seconds. I remember that Fei Ge gained 10 kilograms compared to last year. I didn't expect that he is actually running faster and faster now? Isn't this too abnormal?"

"If the 10 meters is really 98 seconds in [-] seconds, then this has completely reached the level of a second-level athlete, and is close to the national first-level athlete!"

"Brother Fei's talent is really extraordinary. You have to know that he can run 10 seconds without any systematic training in sprinting. For a yellow race, he is already a genius!"

Xinlang.com has become quite popular in China in the past two years, so Qin Dongmei, as an agent, also suggested that Lin Fei register his official account on Sina.com, and now he has more than one million fans.

At the same time, Lin Fei also has personal official accounts on Tencent QQ and Sohu.com, and the number of fans on a single platform also exceeds one million.

Lin Fei doesn't have much time to take care of these accounts after competitions and training, so it is usually Qin Dongmei, a good wife, who takes care of Lin Fei. She often uploads some competition videos and life photos, with tens of thousands of likes and comments. +.

Last month, Qin Dongmei teamed up with Anta's official website to sell "Lin Fei 1st generation" signature shoes online on Lin Fei's New Wolf account platform, with fans receiving a 9% discount.
All 15 pairs of signature shoes worth more than 700 Tianchao coins were sold out in less than half a day, and the revenue directly exceeded [-] million.

You must know that in 05, the domestic Internet was not yet popular, the 3G network had not yet been opened, and the number of people registered to access the Internet was quite limited. It was already quite impressive to have accounts with millions of fans on several major mainstream platforms.

In the entire sports circle, Liu Xiangneng and Lin Fei were the only ones who could barely compete with each other when they broke world records and had a prosperous career.

As for the entertainment industry, only Jay Chou, who has one special album a year, and Liu Yifei, who has just finished filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and became very popular, have more platform fans than Lin Fei.

After sweeping the Washington Wizards in the Eastern Conference semifinals with an average of 9 three-pointers per game, Lin Fei also received the system's 10x jumping training card and had the opportunity to further improve his personal jumping talent.

In the top-floor office of the "Caribbean" luxury cruise ship, Mickey Arison, who was dressed in a rich look with a smile on his face, took out a bottle of Royal Salute from the wine cabinet behind him.
Pour a glass first for Pat Riley, who is sitting in front of the sofa, and then a glass for yourself.

"Riley, I really want to thank you this time. Without your guidance, the Heat would not have experienced such big changes this season. The secretary just told me that the team's market value has increased by US$1.2 million compared to last year!"

"If the team wins the championship this year, you will be my biggest contributor!"

Pat Riley took a sip of the red wine in his glass, but his eyes were always deep:

"As long as the three of them stay healthy, this year's championship will definitely be ours. The Heat and the Timberwolves finally bid farewell to the team history of no championship!"

"But now I have started to regret that I didn't sign Lin for a few more years!"

"The fact that he can play so well is completely beyond my expectation. No, it should be everyone's expectation!"

Mickey Arison sat on the sofa, smiled and nodded:

"Lin is indeed a magical person. Half of the Heat's box office now relies on him, and he can also attract a large number of overseas fans. Otherwise, the team's market value would not have risen so fast!"

"But in my opinion, he and the team achieve mutual success. I believe in your ability and you can keep him in advance. As long as the Heat can win the championship this season, you can consider giving him a maximum salary a season in advance!"

Pat Riley looked out the window at the boundless sea and sighed: "Just winning one or two championships is not enough to prove the greatness of the team, nor can it create a historical dynasty!"

"But if you want to win three consecutive championships, you must try to retain the framework of the Big Three. Lin Fei and Wade will both have maximum salaries by then, plus Shaquille is getting old..."

A successful leader always takes a long-term view. The Heat have not yet won the championship this season, and Pat Riley is already thinking about how to build a dynasty.
