Although the Rockets led by Yao Mai failed to cross the Mavericks in the first round, judging from the overall performance of Da Yao and Maddie, they are in better shape than the original world.

Maddie was selected for the second team, Da Yao was selected for the third team, and the first round of the playoffs also led the Mavericks 2:0, but in the end, because of tactical bias, the tie-break was unfortunately reversed by the Mavericks.

This naturally has a lot to do with Lin Fei's butterfly effect, and it seems that the next few seasons of Rocket and Yao Mai are still worth looking forward to.

Garnett's Timberwolves were also eliminated in the first round, but the team with the championship was not defeated by this defeat.

Boss Glenn Taylor is also not stingy with the wealth in his wallet, and strives to urge the management to make full reinforcements and reinforcements around the "Wolf King".

The Los Angeles Lakers' record this season is only ranked 11th in the West, and Kobe, who ended the Hawk County incident, also focused on the team.

Actively suggest that the management strengthen the lineup, and also optimize the coaching staff in the "post-Zen era".

In media interviews, "Peter Pan" also openly said cruel words, claiming that next season, no team in the league will be willing to meet them.

Due to Lin Fei's butterfly effect, the Auburn Hills Palace incident in December last year was also slightly lighter than the punishment of the original world, and the biggest advantage for the Pacers was that Artest was able to play in the playoffs.

The fully fit Pacers also showed their strong strength, although they only ranked sixth in the East in the regular season, they stubbornly fell to the top in the playoffs, easily eliminating the Celtics led by Paul Pierce 4:1.

With the elimination of the first round, there are only 8 teams left that continue to compete in this season's playoffs and fight for the championship:

East: Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Wardenton Wizards.

West: Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Seattle SuperSonics, Dallas Mavericks.

The time soon came to the first game day of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and Lin Fei and the Heat sat at the American Airlines Arena at home.

Welcoming the Warsington Wizards led by "The Great General" Gilbert Arenas and Antoine Jamison.

This round of the series between the Heat and the Wizards can be described as quite interesting, and the "general" Arenas averaged 25.6 points per game this season, ranking 9th on the scoring list, and his fame quickly grew.

After the league's four quarterbacks, Nashkid's two traditional point guards, and Lin Feiwade's two latest rising "two-way guards",

Arenas is arguably the most famous active guard player in the NBA.

Arenas is a point guard who is better at offensive scoring, which is similar to Lin Feiwade's two, both of which are "two-way guards" of play.

The stop-and-go shot in the dribble fast break is Arenas's signature method, and his three-point shooting rate with the ball is also very good.

On the whole, Arenas' technical characteristics are highly similar to Curry and Rose in later generations, and are more like a combination of the two.

It's just that in terms of character and ball charm, Arenas can't be compared with Curryros.

Although the "gungate" incident in the original world '09 has not yet happened, Arenas, who was born in the slums, has a perverse personality from an early age, and he has proven not to be a qualified team leader.

During the pre-match warm-up session, ESPN's beautiful reporters also took to the court and interviewed Arenas in person.

In Arenas, who dares to speak and speak, media reporters will always have no shortage of hot news.

"Gilbert, it's a pleasure to interview you, is there anything you'd like to say about Dwayne Wade, who just won the regular season MVP?"

Arenas tilted his chin and said arrogantly and confidently into the microphone:

"Reluctantly, I still want to congratulate Dwayne on winning the regular season MVP, but I don't think it's his credit alone!"

"If I were given a Shaquille, or a Lin, I could definitely do better than Dwayne!"

As a second-round pick in 01, Arenas, like Ben Wallace, is also a classic representative of the second-round pick's counterattack, and in the face of Wade in 03, his predecessor naturally speaks politely.

"If you were to pick a player between Lin and Dwayne, who would you prefer to play against tonight?"

"It's better to play against Dwayne, after all, this guy just won the MVP, if I blow him up, then I will blow up the MVP!"

"I believe that no one wants to keep desperately chasing an off-ball player, Lin's three-point shot is strong, but my teammate Larry Hughes will take him out!"

Larry Hughes is the Wizards' No. 2 scorer this season, averaging 22 points per game higher than Jamison, and averaging 2.8 steals per game is second only to Lin Fei and ranking second on the steals list this season.

ESPN's beautiful reporter turned around and came to the warm-up half of the Heat's side, and was the first to interview Wade, the new MVP.

"Dwayne, first of all, congratulations on winning the regular season MVP! also became the league's fifth MVP winner since the new century! ”

Wade puffed out his cheeks and smiled, and nodded his head to the beautiful reporter very happily.

"Thank you, this is indeed a great honor for me, thank you to each and every one of my teammates, thank you Shaquille and Lin, without the two of them, I wouldn't have been my MVP!"

Since the NBA entered the 21st century, a total of 5 MVP stars have been produced.

They were Shaquille O'Neal in '00, Allen Iverson in '01, Tim Duncan in '02 and '03, Kevin Garnett in '04 and Dwayne Wade in '05.

In addition to Wade, O'Neal, Duncan and Garnett are all active top 3 and all-time top 20 existences, and Allen Iverson is also a well-deserved first guard on the active roster.

As a sophomore rookie, Wade is naturally excited and honored to be alongside these superstars.

If the player who was elected MVP is Lin Fei, then plus last season's championship, Lin Fei's historical status will inevitably be higher than that of Wade now.

But everything can't have ifs, although it's only a very slight gap, but if you don't get it, you don't get it, Wade's current historical status must be higher than teammate Lin Fei because of this MVP.

Various media outlets are also more inclined to recognize Dwayne Wade as the No. 1 leader of the Miami Heat.

After all, the player who wins the MVP of the finals is not necessarily the boss of the team, but the player who can win the MVP of the regular season is definitely the boss of the team.

"Dwayne, what do you think of Gilbert? You know, he's your Eastern teammate at this year's All-Star Game! ”

Wade cracked his sausage mouth and smiled into the microphone: "Gilbert is one of my favorite players, I followed his games a lot in college and learned a lot from him!" ”

"But now we're opponents on the pitch and my only goal and the team is to beat this guy and his team!"

The beautiful reporter soon came to Lin Fei's side again, and at this time, Lin Fei had just finished performing the warm-up session of the ultra-long three-point and five-hit combo, which attracted cheers from the Heat fans at the scene.

Lin Fei's pre-game warm-up performance has long become a regular program in each of his games.

Not only do the home fans never get tired of watching, but every time there is an away game, the away fans will also enter the stadium in advance and look forward to it.

The charm of the three-point shot as a scoring method has been fully demonstrated and excavated in Lin Fei's body.

Although many away fans don't like Lin Fei and are not Lin Fei's fans, their love for basketball and ultra-long three-point shooting comes from the heart.

"Lin, I'm really looking forward to your start tonight, Stan Van Gundy's coaching staff has decided in advance that you're going to start this series, what do you think about that?"

Lin Fei crossed his hands on his hips, lowered his head slightly, and said calmly into the microphone:

"Whether it's a starter or a substitute, I'm going to try to do what the coaching staff has given me!"

"The Wizards' offensive and defensive cores are all at the No. 1, 2, and 3 positions, and the backcourt combination of me and Dwayne will better limit their play!"

"Lin, do you have anything to say back to Gilbert that you're only going to shoot threes from the outside?"

In the face of the provocation brought by reporters, Lin Fei, who started the battle tonight, also made a rare high-profile move, after all, he now has this capital.

"Gilbert and Jamison were both All-Stars, but they were only benches, and Dwayne and I were the starters!"

"There are too many people in the league who say I'm only going to shoot threes, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson and Tracy have all said, how old is the general?"

Lin Fei's last sentence was quite domineering, and the beautiful reporters couldn't help but be conquered, their delicate bodies were soft, and they couldn't wait to fall directly into Lin Fei's arms.

The rhetoric on both sides is tense, and it also adds a bit of gunpowder to the upcoming match.

Soon, amid the referee's gesture and the cheers of the fans, the starters of both teams all walked onto the pitch.

The starting five on the Heat's side are:

Point Guard (PG): Dwayne Wade,

Scoring Guard (SG): Lin Fei,

Small Forward (SF): Sean Battier,

Power Forward (PF): Udonis Haslem,

Center (C): Shaquille O'Neal.

Based on the starting characteristics of the opponent Warshengton Wizards in this round of the series, Van Gundy decided to let Lin Fei partner Wade to start, and fully limit Arenas and Larry Hughes on both offensive and defensive ends.

Of course, this is also due to the pressure of the Heat coaching staff out of fan public opinion, after all, Lin Fei is the second highest scorer in the league and the scoring champion of the Heat team.

In the playoffs, this kind of key battle that must be fought for every time the bayonet is popular, and Lin Fei has been pressed on the bench, which is really a bit angry.

There are also some black fans who deliberately ridiculed, saying that Lin Fei's regular season as a substitute was completely voluntary, and he wanted to mix up the best sixth man award.

When the award is won, when it comes to the playoffs, he will change back to playing as a starter, a proper opportunist.

In fact, in the eyes of the coaching staff of Big Van Gundy, Wade and Lin Fei's starters must be top in the defensive line, and both of them have top scoring ability on the offensive end.

But in terms of tandem and coordination with each other, it is a little worse, and if Wade focuses on organization, it will inevitably weaken his scoring ability.

Lin Fei can now be said to be a pure scoring guard, basically without the ability to respond to assists, while Wade is also more offensive than organization at the level of a two-way guard.

When the Heat face only one top scorer on the guard line like the 76ers, Rockets and Lakers, it is more appropriate to put Lin Fei on the bench.

But in the face of the Wizards, when the scores are basically piled up in the starting 1-3 position, it is obviously a more friendly choice to put Lin Fei in the starting line and partner with Wade.

The starting five Tigers on the Wizards' side are:

Point Guard (PG): Gilbert Arenas,

Shooting Guard (SG): Larry Hughes,

Small Forward (SF): Antoine Jamison,

Power Forward (PF): Jared Jeffries,

Center (C): Brandon Haywood.

The game started quickly, O'Neal took the lead in picking up the basketball, Wade advanced with the ball, and the Heat opened the game.

Lin Fei tried to run off the ball on the outside of the front court, completely containing Larry Hughes's defense.

As the top two stealers on the steals list this season, the head-to-head matchup between the two tonight is also a highlight.

Wade held the ball high and O'Neal blocked and dismantled, misplaced acceleration and rushed straight to the basket, the speed of the "Flash" was galloping, throwing off Arenas, and the Wizards power forward who was supplementing the defense, easily pulled the ball in.

"Huh!"

Just crowned the new MVP, which has raised Wade's self-confidence to a whole new level, and he has completely regarded himself as a superstar in the league.

And what a superstar should do is do anything.

came up and was taught a lesson by Wade, which naturally made the "Great General" Arenas angry.

Directly holding the ball to the offensive end, Arenas accelerated to change to Tuwade after dribbling under the crotch, and through the change of rhythm, the mid-range emergency stop jump was also colored.

"Huh!"

Wade made a fierce pave, but it was still a little bit off.

After landing on the ground, Arenas didn't even look at the basket, and directly returned to his height and raised his hands to celebrate the goal.

This strong self-confidence has also attracted the admiration of many home Heat fans.

After a three-point shot was made that year, Arenas went back and raised his hands without looking at the basket, and this celebration became a distinctive label of "Great General" and was imitated by countless stars later.

Arenas is indeed very talented, and has scored at least 2,000 points in the regular season for three consecutive seasons in the original world, if it weren't for the serious impact of a knee injury in 07,

Throughout his career, there will inevitably be better heights, and he should be able to win at least one scoring title.

The ball was converted, Wade took the ball to the front court, and continued to form a triangle attack with O'Neill and Lin Fei on the right side.

Wade held the ball and forced Arenas, and at the same time, O'Neal mentioned the outside line to quickly make a cover for Lin Fei,

Lin Fei accelerated along the three-point line and ran back to near the top of the arc, Larry Hughes was delayed by O'Neal's cover at this time, and Haywood did not dare to change the defense rashly, so he could only stretch out his long arm to interfere slightly.

"Whoosh!"

Wade broke through and gave the ball to Lin Fei, who was at the top of the arc, but the time to get the ball out was still a little slow.

At this time, Larry Hughes had already gritted his teeth and desperately chased after the defense, and instantly jumped up and swung his long arm down.

Lin Fei, who had already received the ball and made a shooting action, suddenly turned around after a dribble, completely threw off Larry Hughes, jumped calmly outside the three-point line, and bent his bow and arrow to make a decisive shot.

"Huh!"

The basketball hollows into the net and hits steadily.

Larry Hughes, who was thrown away by Lin Fei's shooting feint, was full of embarrassment, and even almost stumbled and fell after landing.

As Larry Hughes, who was selected for the best defensive second team this season, he really didn't expect Lin Fei to be able to make such a smooth dribble and turn back.

Heat celebrities Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning, who came to the front row to watch the game tonight, also smiled and praised Lin Fei's three-point shot after getting rid of the dribble just now.

Tim Hardaway, known as "The Bug", is the originator of the cross-step and is quite top-notch on the dribble.

The 35-year-old "Kidney Fighter" Mourning, who has just finished his season with the New Jersey Nets, is already in contact with Pat Riley's management to return to the Heat and end his career here.

Whether Mourning returns to the Heat or not, he's a hero to Miami fans, having led the Heat to the playoffs several times in the '90s with Hardaway, where jerseys will eventually be retired.

"Lin's dribbling skills have improved, and the jump shot that turned his back to avoid the defense just now is really silky!"

"Haha, Lin's dribbling is actually quite average, but because his projection threat is too great, the feint can completely deceive the defender!"

"So this kind of dribbling action similar to turning around and worshipping Buddha is the most suitable for Lin to learn by shooting basketball!"

This season, Pat Riley specially recruited his former beloved apprentice and retired Tim Hardaway to work on the Heat's coaching staff, and Hardaway also gave Lin Fei a lot of guidance and guidance on dribbling.

The Heat fans at the scene also felt quite novel.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei turned around and threw away the defender through shooting feints and dribbling, and then hit a three-point shot, which was the first time he had seen it.

"Lin's dribbling is getting better and better, it's incredible!"

"The three-point shot that turned around and threw off the defender just now is ten times more handsome than catching the ball and throwing it directly!"

Heat (5) :(2) Wizards.

On the court, seeing Lin Fei hit a three-point shot, Arenas followed up again.

Turning around and dribbling to the offensive end, Arenas directly summoned a pick-up block from Larry Hughes at the top three-point line at the top of the arc, misplaced Lin Fei, and motioned for his teammates to open up space.

"Lin, I heard that your defense is very good, I'm going to try it myself tonight!"

The Heat and Wizards have met a total of four times this season in the regular season, but most of them were concentrated in front of the All-Star level, when Lin Fei's defense was improving and did not reach the near full level it is today.

In the face of the provocation of the "Great General", Lin Fei concentrated on defense, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he said confidently: "Gilbert, since you want to try it, I'll let you taste it tonight!" ”

Arenas is quite skilled in dribbling and breaking, and his physicality and explosiveness are also top-notch, but he suffers from his height and reach.

Lin Fei slid quickly, constantly interfering with Arenas' breakthrough with his long arms.

After a hesitant step, Arenas suddenly picked up the double crossover, turned his back and misled, turned over and accelerated, and rushed past the left side of Lin Fei's body.

Lin Fei reacted quickly, and his sideways continued to interfere with Arenas's breakthrough, and his long arms made him quite uncomfortable.

Arenas made a sudden stop to make a change of rhythm, moved sideways to open up enough distance from Lin Fei, and decisively jumped near the left axis area.

Lin Fei stabilized his body and ankles to accumulate strength, followed by a rapid flight up, and his long arms fanned down abruptly.

Compared with Wade, Lin Fei has a good height and arm span advantage, and in the face of the 1.91-meter Arenas, this extreme block is enough to stifle the opponent's shot.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball that had just flown out of Arenas' fingertips was slammed down by Lin Fei's spider-web-like big hand and directly catapulted on the court floor behind the "Great General".

"Whoosh!"

After the cover landed, Lin Fei kept on his feet, stepped on the accelerator and rushed directly towards the basketball, completely shaking off the shocked Arenas in one step.

Lin Fei's speed was fast, and he rushed to the front in an instant, picked up the basketball that bounced off the floor, and accelerated the dribble.

Arenas, who reacted, turned around and chased after him, Wade followed up on the side, and Larry Hughes also chased after the "Flash".

The screams of the Heat fans rang out at the scene, and countless pairs of hot eyes were expecting Lin Fei to hit a shocking three-pointer again.

After Lin Fei dribbled to the front court, he suddenly took a sharp stop outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and was about to collect the ball and make a shooting action.

Arenas, who was chasing after him, did not hesitate, and jumped up directly in one step, waving his long arms, wanting to give Lin Fei a chasing hat behind him.

However, in the next moment, Lin Fei seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, suddenly moved a step to the left, dribbled the ball, and completely threw Arenas in front of him, calmly jumping and opening his hand to shoot again.

"Huh!"

The second.

The referee who was running on the sidelines saw it clearly, Lin Fei didn't close the ball for the first time just now, which was a confusing gesture of worshipping Buddha.

On the defensive end, he sent a flying hat head-on, and in the counterattack and fast attack, he chased the defender through the worship Buddha point, and calmly hit a three-point shot.

Lin Fei's performance at both ends of the offense and defense this time was perfect, directly pressing Arenas's dignity to the floor and rubbing.

Made, when did this guy's human-ball combination become so good?

In the cheers of the audience, Arenas, whose face was full of purple, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists at Lin Fei, and was about to burst out of provocative trash talk, but Lin Fei took the lead.

Lin Fei smiled as he retreated, and spread his hands to Arenas:

"I'm standing right in front of you, how much do you think I used to be?"
