As soon as O'Neal heard Jason Williams' words, he spread his hands and smiled: "Look, I said earlier that Lin and Dwayne have a good chance of winning, right?" ”

"I'm here to play healthy basketball with the Heat, which made me win the MVP, and that's too disrespectful for the efforts of other stars!"

O'Neal has always been a big dealer, and after winning the regular season MVP and scoring title in 2000, he lost much interest in himself.

After all, the regular season is long, and the original Lakers OK combination can be called invincible in the league, so O'Neal is not willing to compete for an honor he already has.

In more than 80 games in the regular season, every game must be played.

Winning more championships than regular season MVPs is the true glory of a superstar.

Every player in the NBA has a different understanding of various honors.

Some people value MVPs more, some people value championships more, some people think that Finals MVPs are not valuable, and some people think that Finals MVPs are more important than regular season MVPs.

Still, O'Neal was shocked to hear that Lin and Wade each had only 36 first-place votes.

"I remember that the selection of MVP seems to be a total of 114 journalists from the United States and Canada, and the 114 first votes were distributed to Lin and Wade, but there were only 36 for each of them?"

"Then the remaining 42 should be my and Steve Nash's, right?"

Wade smiled and glanced at Lin Fei, although he was extremely eager for this regular season MVP, he knew very well that Lin Fei's role in the team was no worse than his own, not to mention that the other party was still a substitute, and he completely killed himself in terms of efficiency.

"Lin, I'm already pleasantly surprised to get as many first-place votes as you!"

Lin Fei also chuckled, for this regular season MVP, he naturally wanted it, but the result was selected, and he could only go with the flow.

"Dwayne, you still have a lot of credit, my playing time and number of shots are not as good as yours, I'll give it to you this year, I'll take it next year, haha!"

The surrounding Heat players all laughed, this is the MVP of the regular season, and there is a reason for humility?

Listening to the business exchange between the team's three giants, "Batman" Battier, who was standing next to him, couldn't help it, and hurriedly said:

"Tony, Jason, hurry up and talk about the results, don't ink, we can't wait!"

Williams and Tony Allen both had their eyebrows fluttering, and they laughed in unison:

"The final winner of the 2004-05 NBA regular season MVP is: Miami Heat, Dwayne Wade!"

When Wade heard his name, tears flashed in his eyes, and happiness came too suddenly.

Lin Fei was the first to smile and turn to hug Wade, celebrating that he had won the honor that all NBA players could only dream of.

The MVP of the regular season is undoubtedly the ultimate individual honor in the NBA.

"Dwayne, congratulations, you've finally done it!"

Wade couldn't help crying with joy, patted Lin Fei's shoulder and said, "Lin, without you, I wouldn't have been able to win this award!" ”

O'Neill also rushed over to send his blessings to Wade, and at the same time said with a smile: "Lin, don't worry, next season is yours!" ”

The surrounding Heat players also smiled and applauded, happy that Wade won the regular season MVP.

Throughout the regular season, Wade has always fought hard for every game, leading the team to overcome obstacles and move forward.

He averaged 28.1 points, 9.2 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, and the five statistics were very comprehensive, and the shooting rate was close to 50%.

As the No. 1 leader of the Heat team praised by Pat Riley, Wade's average playing time and shots per game in the regular season are higher than Lin Fei and O'Neal.

With the Heat's final 65 wins, Wade won the regular season MVP, which is indeed well deserved.

Of course, I also regret that Lin Fei was not elected with a narrow disadvantage of the second vote.

"If you want me to say, this regular season MVP should be given to Dwayne and Lin at the same time, which is the fairest!"

"Haha, it's beautiful to think about, but the regular season MVP has never been tied for two people to win at the same time!"

Later that day, the NBA officially announced that Dwayne Wade won the regular season MVP for the 04-05 season.

At the same time, the specific votes of several candidates were announced.

Wade received 36 first-place votes, 46 second-place votes, and 38 third-place votes.

Lin Fei also got 36 first votes, 39 second votes, and 41 third votes.

Because the second vote was 7 fewer than Wade, Lin Fei finally lost to teammate Wade by a slight disadvantage in the total score.

Of the remaining 42 first-place votes, Steve Nash received 29 and O'Neal received 13.

In the overall score, Wade is first, Lin Fei is second, Nash is third, O'Neal is fourth, and Nowitzki is fifth......

ESPN's Mike Brin said it was definitely the most competitive regular season MVP in NBA history.

Wade was finally elected with a small victory over Lin Fei, which also made fans from all over the world express their personal opinions.

Some fans think that Wade deserves to win the MVP, and some fans think that Lin Fei should win the regular season MVP.

"Wade is now the officially recognized boss of the Heat, although his average points per game are not as good as Lin, but he is only 2 points less, Lin's rebounds and assists are too poor, Wade is obviously more comprehensive!"

"Considering that Lin has been on the bench for a long time, and has already won the Best Six and Most Improved Player awards, this MVP is given to Wade, I don't think there is any problem!"

"It doesn't matter if you win the regular season MVP or not, in short, in my heart, Lin is the league's most valuable player this season, and his fastest improved player award is higher than the MVP!"

"Lin's average shooting rate per game is more than 80%, which can't win the regular season MVP, and it seems that the league's awards are ultimately lost to capital!"

"Whether to Lin or Wade, there is indeed a lot of controversy, if it is given to Lin, it will feel that Wade is a little wronged!"

"Lin lost in the Taibian department, Wade's five data are very comprehensive, and he does have an advantage in this point!"

"Lin's style of play is too trendy, it seems that the league has not fully accepted the absorption, and it is naturally more inclined to play with the ball and a big core!"

"The Heat is still Wade's team after all, and Lin has two more championships here, and it's time to change teams to be the real boss!"

After learning that Wade won the regular season MVP, the fans on the side of the Celestial Empire were even more unconvinced, claiming that Wade's MVP was completely stained with Lin Fei's light.

"If it weren't for Lin Fei's god-accurate three-point shooting, how could Wade's organizational ability be able to get 9+ assists per game?"

"Phineas fulfilled Kevin Garnett in the finals last season, and Dwayne Wade in the regular season this season, he really selflessly sent warmth to his teammates!"

"It's still slightly inferior to Wade in terms of tactical status, if Feige has as many shots as Wade, his average points per game would have been 35+ a long time ago!"

"They are all teammates, there is nothing to fight for, although the MVP was given to Wade, but Lin Fei is also the second strongest MVP vote, right?"

"If you miss by a fraction of a millimeter and don't win the regular season MVP, this honor is a lot shorter than Wade!"

"Wade's life is really good, with O'Neal and Lin Fei to help together, he will win the MVP in the second year, and it seems that the future is limitless!"

"A local and a foreigner, those reporters in the United States are naturally more inclined to give the local Wade, after all, to be honest, the overall data of the two people is not much different!"

"Phineas is still young, if he can't get it this year, he will definitely have a greater chance next year, and he will directly win a unanimous MVP when the time comes!"

"Lin Fei's progress is really getting faster and faster, and his dribbling skills are also improving, playing the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round, those few three-point shots with the ball are too beautiful!"

"The relationship between the Big Three is still very good, and Wade also knows very well that he can win this MVP, thanks to the care of his brothers!"

"If you can't win the MVP in the regular season, it's not too much to win one in the finals, right? Ha ha! ”

"All in all, the championship must belong to my big heat!"

With the release of the regular season MVP, the NBA also announced the list of the best teams for the 04-05 season:

Best Burst:

Dewyane Wade, Lin Fei, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Shaquille O'Neal.

The Heat's Big Three were all selected for the best team of the season, once again creating NBA history, which was full of shock.

First, the three of them were selected as Eastern star starters at the same time, and then they were selected for the best team at the same time, and no black fan dared to question the strength of the Heat's Big Three.

Best Team 2:

Steve Nash, Aaron Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Amare Stoudemire.

Best Team Three:

Gilbert Arenas, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Sean Marion, Da Yao.

In addition to being selected for the best team, Lin Fei was also selected for the best defensive team, and his personal defensive level has been fully affirmed by the league.

Lin Fei, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace.

Lin Fei has also become the only player in the Heat Big Three who has been selected for the double team at the same time.

Looking at the entire history of the NBA, there are very few stars who can be selected for the double team at the same time, all of them have unique skills and dominate one side:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Carl Malone, Hajim Olajuwon, Gary Payton, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant......

Among these people, except for Payton and Kobe, everyone else won the regular season MVP, and all of them were some of the best superstars in the league at the time.

Although Lin Fei missed the MVP of the regular season this year, being able to be selected for the double team is also a full affirmation of his personal strength.

Nash was elected the regular season MVP in the original world, but in today's parallel world, not only did he fail to win the MVP, but he was also squeezed into the second team by Lin Feiwade.

This also reflects the butterfly effect that Lin Fei has crossed over, which has completely changed the pattern of the league, and the fate of many stars has also changed dramatically.

Garnett's ability to win the championship and double MVP in '04 will inevitably elevate his historical status.

Wade won the MVP as a sophomore rookie and became the second youngest MVP in NBA history, which also made him a representative of the 03 generation together with Lin Fei.

On the other hand, the "little emperor" LeBron James, the future development space is likely to be further squeezed.

Nash failed to win the MVP this season, with the Heat, it is estimated that next season will also be enough, which naturally seriously affects the historical status of Lao Gao.

Mike D'Antoni took to social media to fight for his beloved, believing that Nash is the star who deserves the MVP and that he has single-handedly changed the entire Suns team.

And the Heat triumvirate is completely warming up with the group.

As the head coach of the Heat, Stan Van Gundy naturally publicly replied to D'Antoni in the media, after all, this guy snatched his best coach of the season:

"Lin and Dwayne are both sophomores, and no one will believe that they can play so well before the season starts, just like Marion and Stoudemire!"

Regardless, the Heat and Suns are two of the most successful teams this season, and they have completely overshadowed the defending champions Timberwolves and the Western Conference powerhouse Spurs.

There are already more and more fans looking forward to seeing the life-and-death showdown between the Heat and the Suns in this year's Finals.

The regular season has come to an end, and the teams that were eliminated in the first round have been forced to start their offseason fishing life early.

As the champion of the 03 platinum generation, LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers this season only ranked 9th in the East, missing 1 win and failed to make the playoffs.

Seeing that Wade won the regular season MVP in the same year, Lin Fei already had a championship and was selected for the double team.

James, who only barely managed to get a three-formation, naturally didn't feel good in his heart, and the pride of the sky was seriously hit.

At the same time, the Nike Group, which signed James at a high price, is also worried about James' next prospects.

Nike's signature basketball shoes for James have also been surpassed by Lin Fei and Wade's sneakers.

In the original world, James is the "little emperor" of the league, the team lineup is too poor, and his public relations team has the strength to force the palace management, and even interfere in the management's draft and trade.

But at this time and at that time, James's status in the 03 generation is not as good as Wade and Lin Fei.

Among the stars in the entire league, naturally they don't have much right to speak.

With the birth of Lin Fei, the whole league has paid more attention to the importance of 3D players and three-point shooting.

And James's shortcomings of not being good at projection are also significantly magnified.

Cavaliers management is still bent on bringing in James, but there are also more considerations in terms of team interests.

The 76ers were ruthlessly swept by the Heat in the first round, which also magnified the contradictions within the team, and Allen Iverson and management were incompatible, which seemed to accelerate the pace of AI being traded......

Da Yao and Maddy's Rockets also lost to Nowitzki's Mavericks 3:4 in the first round, ending the season's journey ahead of schedule.

Facts have proved that the ability and ceiling of Yao Mai's team leadership are far from being on the same level as the Heat Big Three.
