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

Chapter 177 [177] In the fast-paced playoffs, the assist level has improved by leaps and bounds!

"The regular season MVP cannot be Dwayne Wade. After all, he has not been selected to the first team of the All-NBA Team. How can there be a regular season MVP who is not first team?"

"The Heat's 64-win record ranks first in the league, and Lin Fei's 32.9 points per game are also among the best among several competitors. This regular season MVP is definitely guaranteed!"

"You can win the regular season MVP even with 15 shots per game. Fei Ge's efficiency should be the most efficient MVP in NBA history, right?"

"Why do I feel that Feige's regular season MVP is not safe? Although Wade is not very competitive, the Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki is still very competitive!"

"The Mavericks have 62 wins, only two fewer wins than the Heat. The Heat this season are indeed not as advantageous as last season!"

"The key is that Nowitzki is the absolute single-core player of the Mavericks. His 27+9 data is comprehensive enough, and his offensive efficiency exceeds 50%. On the Heat's side, Lin Fei and Wade will inevitably be affected by their demotion! "

"Last season's MVP was given to Wade, and this season's MVP can be given to Fei Ge. What's there to say, unless the league has a standard every year!"

Dallas, Route Arena.

In the office, Mark Cuban hung up the phone with Nike Chairman Phil Knight, looking very proud.

This season, the Mavericks not only won 62 games in the regular season, surpassing the Spurs and ranking first in the Western Conference, they also easily swept Carmelo Anthony's Denver Nuggets 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs.

The most important thing is that the team is united, everyone is healthy, and Nowitzki has truly reached his peak. This is indeed the best season for the Mavericks to win the championship.

At the same time, Nowitzki also has a great advantage in the competition for regular season MVP, and he is on par with the Heat's Lin Fei.

Mark Cuban’s think tank has already begun to make suggestions. By buying the media and Internet trolls,
To create a model that exaggerates the Heat's Lin Fei and Wade's absolute dual-core, while the Mavericks' Nowitzki is an absolute single-core leader and should gain an advantage in the competition for regular season MVP.

At the same time, these bribed media also pointed out that the Mavericks' record improved significantly compared to last season, while the Heat actually lost 3 wins compared to last season.
From this point on, it becomes even more obvious that Nowitzki's value to the Mavericks is far greater than Lin Fei's personal value to the Heat.

Mark Cuban also secretly used various channels to try to contact some American and Canadian sports reporters who were responsible for regular season MVP voting, and operated from them to help Nowitzki compete for MVP.

Although Nowitzki's personal regular season MVP award is not very attractive to Mark Cuban, he believes that this honor can inspire Nowitzki and the Mavericks team.

Let the Dallas Mavericks be more confident on the road to the championship.

According to Cuban's analysis, as long as the Mavericks perform normally this season, the main players will not be affected by injuries.

So in the Western Conference, the Mavericks basically won't have much suspense. As long as they can overcome the Spurs, it won't be a big problem to win the Western Conference championship.

Therefore, on the road to the championship, the Mavericks' biggest enemies are the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons in the East.

The Heat's probability of reaching the Finals is obviously much higher than that of the Pistons, and the Mavericks will also have a high probability of facing the Heat.

Fortunately, the Mavericks beat the Heat twice in the regular season, which also gave the team greater confidence.

At the same time, if Nowitzki can defeat Lin Fei and win the regular season MVP, it will also give the Mavericks greater confidence in defeating the Heat.

2006 year 5 month 6 day,
The Miami Heat sit at their home court at AmericanAirlines Arena and face their second-round playoff opponent: the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James.

骑士队在首轮和华胜顿奇才相遇，詹姆斯场均狂轰35.7分，天王山之战更是拿下45分8篮板7助攻力压“大将军”阿里纳斯的44分。

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Wizards 4:2. James' performance really inspired David Stern and the Nike Group, and they were heavily praised in the official media.

However, facing the powerful defending champion Heat in the second round, the mainstream media is still not optimistic that the Cavaliers can create miracles. More experts and fans believe that the Heat will resolve the battle within 5 games.

After all, the two teams played four games in the regular season, with the Heat having a clear 4:3 advantage. The only game they lost was due to Lin Fei's absence.

From the current point of view, even though James is the No. 03 pick in the [-] class and the favorite of heaven, compared with the Heat's Lin Fei and Wade, James' honor and influence in all aspects are still far behind.

Obviously, the absolute spokespersons of the 03 generation are still Lin Fei and Wade. James is strong enough, but he can still only be ranked third.

This also gave James and his public relations team a new understanding of personal career planning.

After all, it is too difficult to lead a team with one person, one city and one core. If you can play brother basketball like Lin Fei and Wade and win enough championships and personal honors, this will be the best choice.

On the morning before the first game of the Heat VS Cavaliers series, the NBA's 05-06 regular season MVP voting results were also officially announced.

American Airlines Arena, the Heat's training facility.

Lin Fei is practicing the ball-holding pick-and-roll on the court. After the All-Star Game, Lin Fei and the ball-holding pick-and-roll tactics at the top of the arc,

It has become the Heat's main offensive tactic. Although this did not significantly increase Lin Fei's personal shots, it did increase the general number of catches and shots.

Lin Fei's personal assists per game also quickly increased to 5.1. You must know that at the shooting guard position, it is very good to average more than 5 assists per game.

Michael Jordan's career average of assists per game is only 5.3, and Kobe's average assists per game this season is only 4.5.

Among them, Lin Fei and the pick-and-roll cooperation on the offensive end are one of the main ways for Lin Fei to provide assists.

After several months of accumulation, Lin Fei's assist attribute has now increased to 91 points, which has almost reached the level of the league's top point guards.

In the first round of the Heat vs. Pacers game, Lin Fei also began to often send some wonderful passes.

The assist-to-turnover ratio has also improved significantly.

Whether it is O'Neal on the inside or General, Battier, Wade and others on the outside, they are all amazed by Lin Fei's increasingly sophisticated passing ability.

It's just that Lin Fei has the highest shooting percentage on the Heat team. When the opponent does not adopt a double-team strategy,

Lin Fei's first choice for attacking with the ball is naturally individual singles.

At this time, Jason Williams, who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, also saw the latest news on his mobile phone. The voting results for the regular season MVP were finally released.

"What's going on? Lin unexpectedly missed out on MVP again by a narrow margin. Are these NBA voting reporters specifically targeting Lin?"

The headline on the news is obvious. Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks was elected to the regular season of the 50-1 season with the most 05 first-place votes and the No. 06 overall score, beating Lin Fei of the Heat. MVP.

Lin Fei personally also received 45 first-place votes, even more second-place votes than Nowitzki, and his total score was only 16 points less than Nowitzki.

Sean Battier, who was sitting next to Jason Williams, also looked over and frowned to defend Lin Fei:

"Why would the regular season MVP be given to Nowitzki? This is too unfair. In terms of personal data and team record, Lin is better than Nowitzki!"

"If the NBA favors local stars, then Colin and Dirk are both foreigners. Are white people really more favored by the league than yellow people?"

Williams spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. There is no absolute fairness in MVP voting!"

"What's more, Lin has a strong teammate like Dwayne beside him, and Nowitzki can really brag about leading the team with one core this season!"

The news that Lin Fei missed the regular season MVP for the second consecutive year spread quickly within the Heat team. Everyone felt unfair for Lin Fei and comforted him at the same time.

As the person involved, Lin Fei naturally felt a little regretful. After all, this is the regular season MVP, the ceiling of NBA personal honors. Who doesn't want to get it?

But in the end, he didn't get it, and there was nothing Lin Fei could do about it. After all, this was a selected award, and the judges' standards were never uniform and fixed.

Lin Fei naturally does not think that his performance this season is worse than Dirk Nowitzki, but Nowitzki's overall data and team record are indeed worthy of the regular season MVP.

If the Heat's record this season can be the same as last season's 67 wins, clearly one level ahead of the Mavericks in terms of wins, then Lin Fei's regular season MVP may be secure.

However, the data has gone up, but the record has dropped a little. It can only be said that Lin Fei has lacked a little luck for two consecutive seasons, and only missed the regular season MVP twice.

Wade also took the initiative to comfort Lin Fei. He originally thought that he had snatched Lin Fei's MVP last season. This season, Lin Fei had obvious statistical advantages and should be able to win the MVP. However, he did not expect that Dirk Novi would appear in the middle. Ski, the situation in the alliance is really ever-changing and no one can guess it.

"Dwayne, I feel pretty good right now. If I can face the Mavericks in the finals, I will definitely defeat this guy who stole my MVP!"

Lin Fei and Nowitzki have a pretty good relationship in private. Although he suffered a loss in the MVP competition, he still generously sent a congratulatory text message to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki also quickly responded with a short message:
"Lin, you are a great opponent, let us meet in the finals!"

其实在原世界的05-06赛季，诺维斯基带队拿到60胜，再加上27分9篮板1盖帽的数据，便非常有希望拿下MVP。

But in the end, he lost to Steve Nash, who led the Suns to 54 wins, and was even inferior to LeBron James, who won 50 games from the Cavaliers, in the regular MVP selection rankings.

In today's parallel world, the Mavericks have also squeezed out the Spurs' first place in the division with 63 wins. The addition of Ginobili has obviously brought good effects.

Although Ginobili is not a high-level star, his arrival from the Spurs to the Mavericks can have a certain impact on two teams that are already equally strong.

It's like destroying the stable balance.

The injustice Lin Fei suffered in the current selection is like the unfair treatment Nowitzki suffered in the 05-06 season in the original world.

After all, non-local stars are still not as favored by the league as local stars.

But this season, the two foreign players Lin Fei and Nowitzki have a clear advantage in competing for MVP, and the league can only choose one among them.

He has been ranked No. 2 in regular season MVP for two consecutive years, and the gap between him and the real MVP winner is very small.
This naturally made Lin Fei fans all over the world find it difficult to accept, and the vast number of Chinese fans also complained about Lin Fei's injustice.

"Oh my god, Brother Fei actually missed the regular season MVP for two consecutive years? Isn't this league too dark?"

“诺维斯基27分9篮板1封盖是怎么能和我飞哥的32.9分5.1助攻3.8抢断1.9封盖比的？”

"Phinea Wade is a dual-core, and Nowitzki is a single-core? Ginobili around him averages 19 points per game, Terry averages 18 points per game, and Josh Howard averages 15 points per game. How can he be called a single-core? "

"Fei Ge has doubled the team for two consecutive years, the team's record ranks first in the league for two consecutive years, but he didn't win a single regular season MVP. This is too weird!"

"Brother Fei is only 22 years old this year. If he can win the regular season MVP, he will be the youngest MVP in the league. What a pity!"

"Lin Fei has not won the NBA regular season MVP for two consecutive years, so the NBA regular season MVP is only worth this much!"

"Brothers, there is nothing to regret. It's not that Fei Ge is not worthy of MVP, it's that MVP is not worthy of Fei Ge!"

"In short, in our hearts, Fei Ge is the only active MVP in the league!"

"To be honest, in the past two years of teaming up with Wade and O'Neal, Feige's sacrifice has been really huge!"

"In the new season, go to the Knicks or Suns and become the boss. Lin Fei is still young. What awards won't he win by then?"

Dallas, All American Airlines Arena.

The atmosphere in the home team's locker room was lively, and the Mavericks players were all sending their blessings to Nowitzki for winning the regular season MVP.

This year's Mavericks team is indeed united enough. After Nash, Finley, Jamison and Walker left one after another,

In today's Mavericks team, Nowitzki is also the absolute boss that everyone is convinced by.

Coupled with Nowitzki's humble and low-key personality and his example-setting style during the game, he has set an excellent example for his younger brothers.

This season's Mavericks, in addition to Nowitzki, Ginobili, Jason Terry, Josh Howard, Devin Harris, Marquis Daniels, the five players average points per game. All are above 10 points.

Six members of the team average double figures in points per game, which is very rare among the 6 NBA teams this season.

Zhu Fangyu, who wears jersey No. 16, is also in the Mavericks' main rotation lineup this season with his own efforts and the attributes of a 3D player.

He averaged 18 minutes per game, averaged 7.2 points per game, and shot over 39% from three-point range.

Nowitzki also gave Zhu Fangyu a lot of care in the team, which was naturally for Lin Fei's sake.

On the whole, Zhu Fangyu's rookie season in the NBA will be smoother than the rookie seasons of Lin Fei, Suga, Daba and others.

It's just that his tepid performance is still not enough to stay in the NBA for a long time...

Zhu Fangyu is also well aware of this. He has strengthened his daily training intensity outside of games, and strives to hone his personal skills in three-point shooting and defense.

The Mavericks' opponent in the second round was the powerful San Antonio Spurs. At this time, conversations among the Spurs players also came from the visiting team's locker room.

"The regular season MVP actually went to Dirk Nowitzki. The Mavericks are really lucky this season!"

"The management really shouldn't have traded away Manu, but now it's completely helping the Mavericks..."

As soon as Bruce Bowen said these words, he immediately felt something was wrong and shut up before he finished speaking.

But it was still heard by Jason Stackhouse on the opposite side. As the main bargaining chip for the exchange with Ginobili in the offseason, Stackhouse's performance this season did not satisfy the Spurs.

Tony Parker smiled to relieve the awkward atmosphere:

"Everyone naturally has to go all out during the game. We are all friends after the game. Manu has agreed to treat Tim and I to the most famous seafood restaurant in Dallas tonight!"

This round of the Western Conference semifinals between the Mavericks and the Spurs has received the most attention from the league. The battle between the Mavericks and the Spurs will definitely be quite exciting and brutal.

In contrast, the Heat VS Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals had much less suspense.

With the stable performance of Lin Fei, Wade and others, the Heat finally swept the Cavaliers 4:1 and easily advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.

Although O'Neal's performance in this series was not very good, he did a good job in protecting the rim in the penalty area.

Coupled with Lin Fei and Wade's double-team defense, LeBron James' average data in this series dropped sharply to 24 points and 6 assists.

But some problems have also been exposed within the Heat. Wade and O'Neal were not very efficient in this series. The defensive strategy deployed by Mike Brown also achieved great results.

This led to the Heat ultimately losing to the Cavaliers on the road in Game 4 of the series and failing to complete the sweep.

After the entire series, Lin Fei is the well-deserved scoring champion and MVP.

When Wade's shot was inaccurate, his breakthrough was not taken care of by the whistle, and O'Neal was affected by the shark,
林飞场均出手次数提升到了17次，场均命中10.2个三分球，场均数据更是飙升到了39分5助攻1篮板4抢断1封盖。

After five games in the series, Lin Fei hit a total of 5 three-pointers, setting a new record for personal three-point shooting percentage in a single series.

Compared with Lin Fei's always accurate three-pointers and explosive scoring power, his increasingly improving passing skills surprised the fans even more.

Lin Fei seems to be using his wonderful performance in this series to speak out for his failure to win the regular season MVP.

03 No. [-] pick LeBron James once again became the backdrop for Lin Fei and the Heat. The little emperor who went home early to go fishing was obviously unwilling to do so.

At the same time, he averaged 15.6 points per game in this series, drinking soup and eating meat next to Lin Fei, and his performance was quite outstanding.

After the end of this season, the contract with an annual salary of approximately 85 will also expire. Naturally, he is looking forward to performing in the playoffs and getting a bigger contract in the offseason.
