Regarding Pat Riley's wishful thinking, Lin Fei and his agent Qin Dongmei have actually been like mirrors for a long time.

As the saying goes, if you are not in his position, you can't seek politics, as the general manager of the Heat, Pat Riley will naturally do whatever it takes to make the team stronger.

If it weren't for Lin Fei's passing and organizational skills in the last one or two months,

I believe that Heat management and Pat Riley would not have decided to sacrifice Wade so early to correct their plans.

But fundamentally speaking, Pat Riley is still threatening Lin Fei by doing this, and signing Lin Fei with the highest salary in advance is their biggest goal.

In fact, long before the start of the new season, the Heat management and Pat Riley have made it clear that they can give Lin Fei a contract with a maximum salary, and hope that he can complete the contract extension ahead of schedule.

In this way, the team will also feel at ease to invest more effort and resources in cultivating Lin Fei.

It's just that Pat Riley didn't make it clear at that time that he could correct himself and let Wade be the second child of the team.

Lin Fei is well aware that the Heat's choice between Wade and himself is very risky, and Pat Riley is also trying to minimize this risk.

The reason why Lin Fei did not choose to renew his contract with the Heat in advance is because he knows very well that the current development of the team and the next few years does not meet his needs.

Although he and Wade and O'Neal are good teammates and friends who talk about everything, they have also established a deep friendship in the game.

But Lin Fei knew that he and Wade and O'Neill did not have perfect compatibility, if he really squeezed out Wade in order to compete for the boss,

So whether Wade is willing to be an assistant or ruthlessly traded by the team, it will not have a good impact on his future reputation.

In addition, the 33-year-old O'Neal signed a five-year, $100 million contract with the Heat, and in Lin Fei's view, this contract is also not cost-effective, and it will even become a drag on the team in the next few years.

O'Neill's laziness in training and lack of self-discipline this season have left him in a truce.

Winning the championship in 05 and getting the FMVP hastened the end of the big shark's peak from a certain aspect.

As for whether to renew the Heat, Lin Fei has already made careful considerations, and his agent Qin Dongmei also gave some suggestions.

And in this process, Lin Fei and his agent Qin Dongmei are also secretly contacting other teams in the league, hoping to try to try to after the expiration of the Heat's two-year contract.

Choose a team that is most suitable for Lin Fei's future development, and build a perfect group of teammates around himself.

After all, Lin Fei is still very young, and he must make a more perfect plan for his career.

By any measure, renewing the Heat's contract is not a wise choice, and not only could the relationship with Wade break down for this,

will even be saddled with an infamy of seizing the right to release the army in the black fan group.

As the "peerless double pride" of the 03 generation, Lin Fei and Wade have enough ability to become the absolute core of a team and create their own brilliant careers.

There is no need to fight for the head of the Heat boss.

What's more, Wade is a well-established Heat draft debut, and he has a deeper affection for Miami, and he is more suitable to be the soul of this team and the city.

You must know that in this parallel world, Wade won the regular season MVP in the second year, plus there is a championship, which is obviously a higher starting point than the original world.

You must know that in the original world, Wade won three championships in his career, but his historical status was quite embarrassing, and he could only rank around 30, which had the influence of James on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also had a lot to do with the fact that he did not have a regular season MVP.

But now Wade has a regular season MVP, coupled with the successful knee surgery in advance, his personal playing style is affected by Lin Fei.

All this is likely to allow Wade to have a more brilliant career than the original world, and even the old Heat, fulfilling his dream of one person and one city.

Lin Fei originally came from the Timberwolves, whether in Miami or Minnesota, he has loyal fans.

Next, choose a third team to create new brilliance,

This may be a more suitable path for Lin Fei.

Since he didn't plan to renew his contract with the Heat, Lin Fei was not afraid of falling out with Pat Riley.

In particular, the sentence "After the contract is renewed, the team will do its best to assist you in winning the regular season MVP", in Lin Fei's view, it is really a strong threat.

Pat Riley is indeed an excellent general manager, but in Lin Fei's view, the master of the NBA is always a star.

As long as you have strong enough strength, you will never be afraid of any threats and challenges.

In front of the cold-blooded and ruthless Pat Riley, Lin Fei also likes to get straight to the point.

Faced with Lin Fei's direct rhetorical question, Pat Riley suddenly sank his face and said in a cold voice:

"Lin, you have to be clear, the team and I have given you the greatest sincerity, both Ling and Dwayne have enough potential to be the leader of a team, but we still prefer you in the end!"

"I hope you can think about it carefully and don't joke about your future!"

Pat Riley struggled to hold back his temper, and almost uttered the sentence:

"If you don't sign early, the team won't guarantee your playing time in the future!"

Lin Fei smiled, he naturally knew Pat Riley's wrists, but he was also confident enough in his influence.

Taking the Heat's championship goal this season as a joke, Lin Fei believes that Pat Riley will not be so stupid, not to mention that there is a boss behind the general manager, and the team's most fundamental goal is to make a profit.

Compared with the rookie rookie who was threatened by McHale in Minneapolis two years ago, Lin Fei now has enough qualifications to compete with the team manager.

Two championships, a double team, two All-Star all-time vote winners and new season scoring champions, plus a monthly champion in jersey sales,

Lin Fei has always been down-to-earth and steady in competitions and training, but he will never be threatened by anyone in the face of his personal interests and future.

"Mr. Riley, I still say the same thing, I won't consider renewing my contract with the Heat early until the end of the season!"

"I really hope to have two perfect seasons in Miami, where I have the privilege of playing with the likes of Dwayne, Shaquille, Wang and Jason, and it will be a great career for me forever!"

"But even if management wants to trade me, I won't change my decision!"

Lin Fei looked directly into Pat Riley's eyes, and his words were categorical, neither humble nor arrogant, with an invisible majesty and heaviness.

Pat Riley breathed a long sigh of relief, hid his ruthless aura, picked up the contract on the desk, and tore it to pieces directly in front of Lin Fei:

"Lin, I admire your courage very much, but I hope you can know that without me and the Heat, you would never have achieved what you are today!"

Lin Fei stood up directly from the sofa and said confidently and calmly: "All the achievements and glory I have obtained are all I deserve!" ”

Lin Fei and Pat Riley's conversation broke up unhappily, and the relationship between the two was completely stiff.

Pat Riley, who has always been resolute, even moved the idea of sending Lin Fei away before the trade deadline, but finally calmed down.

The Heat's defending championship this season is the top priority, and at present, it seems that Lin Fei has no intention of staying in the Heat, so he can only try to squeeze out his last value.

If you can persuade Lin Fei to sign first and then change after the Heat wins another championship this season, to help the Heat achieve the greatest benefits,

It's also the perfect of imperfections for Pat Riley and the Heat.

Although Akari did not publicly punish Lin Fei internally, nor did he limit his playing time in the game,

But Pat Riley always reminded Stan Van Gundy's coaching staff that Lin Fei was destined to fly away, and Wade was the most suitable leader for the team.

At the 2006 Houston All-Star Weekend, Lin Fei easily won the three-point contest again with a score of 28 points in the final.

But in the All-Star Game, Stan Van Gundy vaguely reduced Lin Fei's playing time, intending to let Wade win the All-Star MVP.

As a foreign player, Lin Fei has been elected the all-time vote king for two consecutive years, and his huge popularity and influence inevitably make these local stars jealous.

Coupled with the covert targeting of Pat Riley and Nike Group, Lin Fei only played a total of 21 minutes in the main game, got 9 shots, hit 6 three-pointers, and scored 21 points and 4 assists.

In the end, the Eastern Stars narrowly defeated the Western 137-134,

Wade had 29 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, and narrowly beat James' 31 points and 8 rebounds with an efficient shooting percentage of 12-of-17.

Won the MVP of the 2006 Houston All-Star Tournament.

As last year's All-Star MVP, Lin Fei has long been interested in this acting award.

Seeing that his teammate Wade was able to beat James to get the AMVP, Lin Fei also happily stood in the first row and applauded his friends.

03 The supernovas of the golden generation, Lin Fei and Wade, the "peerless duo", are once again one step ahead of the "little emperor" James.

Lin Fei was magnanimous, and he was ready to be secretly targeted by Pat Riley in his heart.

But many of Lin Fei's loyal fans, especially tens of millions of fans of the Celestial Dynasty, couldn't help but openly bombard the NBA's fan circle culture and xenophobic intentions on major online forums:

"My Feige has been the ticket king for two consecutive years, the first on the MVP list of the regular season in the new season, and he is only allowed to play 21 minutes in the main game? Only 9 shots, less than Iverson and Carter on the bench? ”

"This is obviously aimed at me Feigo, isn't Stan Van Gundy his own coach? It's so obvious that you want to help Wade step on Phineas? ”

"I seem to have heard that Lin Fei and the Heat management cap has flipped over, and now Pat Riley is secretly targeting Lin Fei, and he is likely to be further compressed in the next game!"

"Holy, is Pat Riley so ruthless? Is this not for the Heat to defend the championship? ”

"Phineas' regular season MVP this season shouldn't be hacked again, right? This NBA league is so dark! ”

"After this season, Phige should leave the mess of the Heat as soon as possible and go to the Suns or the Knicks to be the absolute core boss!"

"All-Star MVP doesn't matter, it's not worth much anyway, and my Feige has already had one, but this year's regular season MVP must be my Feige's, and no one is qualified to grab it!"

"The Heat now have the first record in the league, Lin Fei is the first in the scoring list, the first in shooting percentage, the first in the steals list, the top ten in the block list, and even the worst assists have an average of more than 4 per game, as long as it is maintained, this is an absolute MVP, what does Wade compare?"

"If the Heat coaching staff dares to reduce my Fei Ge's playing time and number of shots next, then Fei Ge will directly apply for a trade, Made, see who is afraid of whom!"

"Don't worry, with Lin Fei's current popularity, it is no longer something that Pat Riley can control, and he will dare to play tricks in the All-Star Game!"

After All-Star Weekend, the NBA also reached the trade deadline for the 05-06 season.

Several teams in the league also made some last-minute trades and reinforcements.

Because of the news of the conflict between Lin Fei and the management, various sports media that don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement even broke the gimmick that the Heat intended to trade Lin Fei.

A number of NBA teams, such as the Knicks, Suns, 76ers, Pacers, Bobcats, Hornets, etc., have sent offers to Heat general manager Pat Riley to get Lin Fei at all costs.

But Pat Riley will not be rash, he knows very well that letting the Heat win the championship is the team's top priority at the moment, so Lin Fei definitely can't be traded.

Trading Lin Fei is just a smoke bomb released by the media, and Pat Riley also took this opportunity to test the sincerity given by other teams in the league, hoping to reach a sign-and-trade deal for Lin Fei at that time.

At the same time, the 76ers also broke the news of trading Allen Iverson, which is also big news for the league.

Iverson's stats this season are impressive, ranking third on the scoring list with 33 points per game, and the highest scoring season in his career.

However, the 76ers' record has always hovered outside the top eight in the East, and they even experienced a wave of six consecutive losses before the All-Star.

The conflict between Iverson and the team has further intensified, and the 76ers management has been in contact with many teams such as the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Bobcats, and is in final negotiations to trade Iverson.

Although the trade deadline is approaching and Iverson's trade has not really been completed, the countdown to the "answer" to leave Philadelphia, which has been in the game for ten years, may have really begun......

Lin Fei's strong performance in the new season, especially in the face of the four quarterbacks,

Let many NBA experts and team coaching staff begin to re-examine the idea of building the team, believing that the fame of the big four quarterbacks is obviously greater than their strength, and their ability to lead the team is quite limited.

In addition, the Timberwolves acquired Puerto Rico point guard Carlos Arroyo from the Pistons in a trade, who led the team to an upset victory over Dream Six in the group stage of the '04 Olympics.

Although Arroyo is not a top point guard, his joining still solves the Timberwolves' guard shortage to a certain extent.

McHale's coaching staff has also promised to start Arroyo, and the increase in playing time will also stimulate Arroyo's potential to a certain extent.

At the same time, the Timberwolves also used the top center Olowo Candy and a bench to trade Ricky Davis, a scoring guard who averaged 19 points per game, from the Celtics.

Since then, the Timberwolves have also formed a new starting five lineup:

Point Guard (PG): Carlos Arroyo,

Shooting Guard (SG): Ricky Davis,

Small Forward (SF): Gerard Wallace,

Power Forward (PF): Ron Artest,

Center (C): Kevin Garnett.

The promotion of Garnett to the starting center position has improved the Timberwolves' defensive system.

After all, in this era of the league's center withering, there are really few who can compete with Garnett in the center position.

On the bench, the Timberwolves also have excellent players such as Wally Szebiak and Danny Granger, and the overall competitiveness has been significantly improved.

In the latest Western Conference standings, the Timberwolves also overtook the Spurs to move up to second place, behind the Dallas Mavericks.

The Spurs didn't go well this season, Duncan suffered from plantar fasciitis, lost Stackhouse in exchange for Ginobili, and didn't play enough.

Coupled with the decline in the form of veterans such as Barry and Horry, the overall competitiveness of the Spurs is far less than last season.

In the latest edition of the team's power list,

The Miami Heat remain in first place, the Dallas Mavericks are second, the Minnesota Timberwolves are third, the Detroit Pistons are fourth, and the Spurs have slipped to fifth......

Ginobili made the Western Conference All-Star bench for the second year in a row, averaging 19 points per game and also ranked second with the Mavericks.

At the same time, Ginobili is on the list of the best sixth man, and he has a good chance of winning the best sixth man award in the 05-06 season.

Many fans in San Antonio have begun to regret that Spurs management should not have blindly traded Manu, whose sluggish performance in last year's Finals was entirely due to the starter against Lin Fei.

It's that Lin Fei's defense is too strong, not that Ginobili is not good enough.

The Heat also appropriately strengthened the interior before the trade deadline, trading Tony Allen and Udonis Haslem for 2.11-meter power forward Troy Murphy from the Golden State Warriors.

Murphy is averaging 14 points and 10 rebounds per game this season, which is a very good blue-collar interior line.

However, in Lin Fei's view, Murphy's ceiling is not high, and it is indeed a bit worth the loss to exchange future defensive giants Tony Allen and Haslem for a power forward with limited strength.

But Lin Fei didn't interfere too much, after all, this is a matter for the management, and he will most likely leave the Heat after the end of this season.

Tony Allen didn't have many opportunities to perform in the two seasons of the Heat, because the Heat guard has excellent players such as Wade, Lin Fei, and Jason Williams.

This has made Tony Allen have always had to play as a substitute for Lin Fei, with limited playing time per game and insufficient defensive talent.

As a good friend, Lin Fei also personally sent Tony Allen off, hoping that he could have a good development after he arrived at the Warriors.

After the All-Star break, Stan Van Gundy's coaching staff made it clearer about the Heat's tactical system with Dwayne Wade as the first core.

Because the team basically knows that Lin Fei is likely to test the free market after the end of the season, when his contract expires,

Therefore, the Heat's team resources will naturally be tilted towards Wade on a larger scale.

Good brother Wade also had an in-depth conversation with Lin Fei and expressed his understanding and support for his choice.

At the same time, Wade also heard some rumors and knew that Pat Riley had the idea of correcting Lin Fei, but Lin Fei refused.

Wade was not overly jealous and jealous of this, he knew very well that Lin Fei's conditions were no worse than himself in all aspects, and it was reasonable for the Heat to choose this.

What Wade should do is to be more strict with himself, work hard to improve, really be a good leader of the Heat team, and live up to the trust of the team.

O'Neal also made a comeback before and after the All-Star break, coupled with the tilt of the team's tactics, which made Lin Fei's average playing time per game slightly lower, and the average number of shots per game was also reduced to less than 14.

But even so, Lin Fei can still maintain an efficient output of 30+ per game, and maintain an average of more than 3 steals per game, always leading the steals list in the new season.

In terms of block data, Lin Fei also averaged about 2.1 per game, ranking in the top three on the steal list in the season.

Excellent steal and block data, coupled with the defensive influence in actual combat, make Lin Fei always in the discussion of DPOY in the new season.

At present, the only ones who can compete with Lin Fei for the best defensive player of the season are Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves and Ben Wallace of the Detroit Pistons.

The competition for the scoring title after the All-Star is more intense, Kobe Bryant hit 40+ in 5 consecutive games in February, and the average points per game also surpassed Lin Fei.

Allen Iverson is in a trade turmoil, and the disparagement of the Big Four by the media has inspired the lone hero.

In the 76ers' away game against the Toronto Raptors at the end of February, Iverson took his heroism to the extreme, hitting 19 of 39 shots and 21 of 26 free throws.

A career-high 61 points surpassed his previous record of 60 points in a single game.

This is also the second time in Allen Iverson's career that he has hit 60+ in a single game.

And just a day later, Bryant scored 59 points in the game between the Lakers and the Orlando Magic.

In order to help Lin Fei compete for the scoring title, in the game against the New Orleans Hornets at home on the same day,

Wade and O'Neal, who are good brothers, ignored the head coach's shooting restrictions and frantically passed the ball to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei also played a wonderful brother basketball in this game, shooting 14 of 20 three-pointers and 11 free throws, and got his second 50+ this season.

Unfortunately, although he made 20 three-point shots, Lin Fei still failed to break his record of 14 three-pointers in a single game, which seemed to be a barrier in front of him.

Within two days, Iverson, Kobe and Lin Fei scored 50+ points in a single game at the same time, and Iverson even scored a career-high 61 points.

This also pushed the scoring feast of the stars of the 05-06 season to a climax, and in the following regular season in March,

LeBron James, Cameron Anthony, Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki, "The General" Arenas, Stephen Marbury and others,

have hit 40+ or even 50+ in the game, constantly refreshing new personal single-game scores.

In addition to the scores, other data is also emerging.

Kevin Garnett grabbed 26 rebounds in a game between the Timberwolves and the Raptors in early March, breaking his personal record of 25 rebounds per game set in 2003.

Steve Nash also dished out 22 assists in a road game between the Suns and the Knicks, also setting a new career record of 21 assists in a single game.

As the crazy season comes to an end, teams are racing for a playoff spot......

The competition for the regular season MVP, scoring champion and other awards in the 05-06 season has also become the focus of the stars' struggle.
