"The regular season MVP definitely can't be Dwayne Wade, after all, he didn't make the All-NBA team for a while, how can there be a regular season MVP who is not a team?"

"The Heat's 64-win record is the first in the league, and Lin Fei's average of 32.9 points per game is also among the best among several contenders, and this regular season MVP must be stable!"

"With an average of 15 shots per game, you can win the regular season MVP, and Feige's efficiency should be the most efficient MVP in NBA history, right?"

"How do I feel that Phigo's regular season MVP is not very safe, although Wade is not very competitive, but the Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki is still very competitive!"

"The Mavericks have 62 wins, only two wins less than the Heat, and the Heat this season is indeed not as advantageous as last season!"

"The key is that Nowitzki is the absolute single-core of the Mavericks, the 27+9 data is comprehensive enough, and the offensive efficiency is also more than 50%, and on the Heat side, Lin Fei and Wade will inevitably have the impact of demotion on the side!"

"Last season's MVP can be given to Wade, this season's MVP can be given to Phineas, what's there to say, unless the league has a standard a year!"

Dallas, Airline Arena.

Mark Cuban, who was in the office, hung up the phone with Nike's chairman, Phil Knight, looking proud.

This season, the Mavericks not only won 62 wins in the regular season, surpassed the Spurs to rank first in the West, but 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, all members are healthy, and Nowitzki is really at the peak, which is indeed the best season for the Mavericks to challenge for the championship.

At the same time, in the competition for MVP in the regular season, Nowitzki also has a great advantage, which is comparable to Lin Fei of the Heat.

Mark Cuban's think tank has long been coming up with a plan, by bribing the media and the Internet trolls,

to create a model that renders the absolute dual-core of the Heat, while Nowitzki, the Mavericks, is an absolute single-core leader and deserves an advantage in the competition for the regular season MVP.

At the same time, these bribed media also pointed out that the Mavericks' record was significantly improved compared with last season, while the Heat team was 3 wins lower than last season.

From this point on, it is even more prominent that Nowitzki's value to the Mavericks is far greater than Lin Fei's personal value to the Heat.

Mark Cuban also secretly tried to contact some of the United States and Canada sports reporters who were in charge of the regular season MVP voting through various channels, and operated from them to help Nowitzki compete for the MVP.

Although Nowitzki's personal win of the regular season MVP 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 play normally this season, the main players have not been affected by injuries.

Then in the West, the Mavericks basically won't have much suspense, as long as they cross the Spurs, it is not a big problem to win the Western championship.

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

The probability of the Heat reaching the Finals is obviously much greater than that of the Pistons, and the Mavericks will also face the Heat at that time.

Thankfully, the Mavericks beat the Heat twice in the regular season, which also gave the team more confidence.

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

On 6 May 2006,

The Miami Heat hosted their second-round playoff opponent at the American Airlines Arena, led by LeBron James.

The Cavaliers met with the Warsington Wizards in the first round, James averaged 35.7 points per game, and the battle of Tianwang Mountain scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists to beat the 44 points of "General" Arenas.

In the end, the Cavaliers also eliminated the Wizards 4:2, and James's performance made David Stern and the Nike Group really climax, and they were praised in the official media.

However, in the second round against the powerful defending champion Heat, the mainstream media is still not optimistic that the Cavaliers can create miracles, and more experts and fans believe that the Heat will solve the battle in five games.

After all, the two teams played 4 games in the regular season, and the Heat team had a clear 3:1 advantage, and the only loss was because of Lin Fei's absence.

From the current point of view, even if James is the champion of the 03rd class and the pride of the sky, but compared with Lin Fei and Wade, who are both excellent in the Heat, James's honor and influence in all aspects are still a lot worse.

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

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

It is still too difficult to lead the team with one person, one city and one core after all, if you can play brother basketball like Lin Fei and Wade, and get enough championships and personal honors, this is the most fragrant choice.

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

American Airlines Arena, inside the Heat's training arena.

Lin Fei is on the court and roughly practicing holding the ball to block and dismantle, from the end of the All-Star, Lin Fei and the general arc top ball blocking and dismantling tactics,

It has become the main offensive tactic of the Heat, although it has not significantly increased Lin Fei's personal shots, but it has increased the general catch-and-shoot shots.

Lin Fei's personal average assists per game have also quickly increased to 5.1, you must know that in the position of scoring guard, it is very good to be able to average more than 5 assists per game.

Michael Jordan is averaging only 5.3 assists per game in his career, and Kobe Bryant is only averaging 4.5 assists per game this season.

Among them, Lin Fei and the blocking and dismantling cooperation on the offensive end is one of the main ways for Lin Fei to send assists.

After a few months of accumulation, Lin Fei's assist attribute has now increased to 91 points, which has almost reached the level of the league's first-class point guard.

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

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

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

It's just that Lin Fei has the highest shooting rate in the whole Heat team, when the opponent is not using the bag and clamp strategy,

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

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

"What's the situation? Lin actually missed the MVP by a narrow score, are these NBA voting reporters specifically targeting Lin? ”

The headline on the news was clear that Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks was elected the regular season MVP of the 05-06 season with the most 50 first-place votes and the first overall score to beat the Heat's Lin Fei.

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

Sean Battier, who was sitting next to Jason Williams, also came over to look at him, frowning and hugging Lin Fei:

"Why did the regular season MVP go to Nowitzki? This is too unfair, in terms of personal data and team records, Lin is better than Nowitzki! ”

"If the NBA favors local stars, and both Lin and Dirk are foreigners, is it true that whites are more favored by the league than yellows?"

Williams spread his hands and said helplessly: "This is also a matter of no choice, there is no absolute fairness in the MVP voting thing!" ”

"What's more, Lin has such a strong teammate as Dwayne by his side, and Nowitzki can really boast of leading the team single-core this season!"

The news that Lin Fei missed out on the regular season MVP for the second year in a row spread quickly within the Heat team, and everyone felt unfair to Lin Fei, but also comforted him.

Lin Fei, as the party concerned, naturally felt a little regretful, after all, this is the regular season MVP, the ceiling of NBA personal honor, who doesn't want to get it?

But in the end, he didn't get it, and Lin Fei couldn't do anything, after all, this is an award, and the judges' criteria are never unified and fixed.

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

If the Heat's record this season can be the same as last season's 67 wins, and they are obviously one notch ahead of the Mavericks in terms of wins, then Lin Fei's regular season MVP may be stable.

However, the data went up, but the record fell a little bit, and it can only be said that Lin Fei 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, originally thinking that he had robbed Lin Fei's MVP last season, and this season Lin Fei has an obvious data advantage, and he should be able to get the MVP.

But I didn't expect another Dirk Nowitzki to be killed in the middle, and the situation in the alliance is really endless, and no one can guess it.

"Dwayne, I'm feeling pretty good right now, and if I can face the Mavericks in the Finals, I'm going to beat this guy who stole my MVP!"

Lin Fei and Nowitzki have a good relationship in private, although they suffered losses in the MVP competition, he still sent a congratulatory text message to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's side also quickly replied with a short message:

"Lin, you are a great opponent, let's meet in the finals!"

In fact, in the 05-06 season of the original world, Nowitzki led the team to 60 wins, plus 27 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block, and he was very hopeful of winning the MVP.

But in the end, he lost to Steve Nash, who led the Suns to 54 wins, and even LeBron James, who was not as good as LeBron James, who won 50 wins over the Cavaliers, in the regular MVP rankings.

And in today's parallel world, the Mavericks also squeezed out the Spurs' first place in the division with 63 wins, and Ginobili's joining has obviously brought a good effect.

Although Ginobili is not a high-level star, his arrival with the Spurs to the Mavericks can have an impact on two teams that are already of equal strength.

It's like destabilizing the scales.

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

Non-local stars, after all, are still not as favored by the league as local stars.

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

has been ranked second in the 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 around the world feel unacceptable, and the majority of Celestial Dynasty fans also complained one after another, fighting for Lin Fei.

"Oh my God, Phineas actually missed the regular season MVP for two consecutive years? This alliance is too dark, isn't it? ”

"How can Nowitzki's 27 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block be compared to my Flying Brother's 32.9 points, 5.1 assists, 3.8 steals and 1.9 blocks?"

"Figowede is dual-core, Nowitzki is single-core? He averaged 19 points per game for Ginobili, 18 points per game for Terry, and 15 points for Josh Howard. ”

"Phineas has been in the league for two consecutive years, and the team's record has been the first in the league for two consecutive years, and it is too weird that he hasn't won a single regular season MVP!"

"Phineas is only 22 years old this year, if he can win the regular season MVP, it will be the youngest MVP in the league, it's a pity!"

"Lin Fei hasn't won the NBA regular season MVP for two consecutive years, so the NBA's regular season MVP is just like that!"

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

"In short, in our hearts, Phineas 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 is really too great!"

"Let's go to the Knicks or the Suns to be the boss in the new season, Lin Fei is still young, what awards won't he get at that time?"

Dallas, National Airline Arena.

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

This year's Mavericks are indeed united enough, after the departures of Nash, Finley, Jamison and Walker,

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

Coupled with Nowitzki's humble and low-key personality and his demeanor of leading by example in the game, he has set an excellent example for the younger brothers.

In the Mavericks this season, in addition to Nowitzki, Ginobili, Jason Terry, Josh Howard, Devin Harris, and Marquis Daniels, all five have averaged more than 10 points per game.

Six players on the team are averaging double-doubles in points per game, which is a rarity among the 30 NBA teams this season.

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

He played an average of 18 minutes per game, averaged 7.2 points per game, and shot more than 39% from three-point range.

Nowitzki also gave Zhu Fangyu a lot of care in the team, which naturally also looked at Lin Fei's face.

On the whole, Zhu Fangyu's rookie season in the NBA was smoother than the rookie season of Lin Fei, roughly, and bus.

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

Zhu Fangyu also knew this, and strengthened his daily training intensity outside of the game, and worked hard to polish his personal skills in three-point shooting and defense.

The Mavericks' second-round opponent was the mighty San Antonio Spurs, and at this time, the visiting team's locker room was also heard talking with the Spurs players.

"The regular season MVP was actually given to Dirk Nowitzki, and the Mavericks are really lucky this season!"

"Management really shouldn't have traded Manu in the first place, and now it's completely helping the Mavericks......

As soon as Bruce Bowen said this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and he closed his mouth before he finished speaking.

But it was still heard by Jason Stackhouse on the other side, as the main bargaining chip exchanged 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 in the game, and after the game, they are all friends, and this guy Manu said that he will invite me and Tim to eat the most famous seafood Western food in Dallas tonight!"

This round of the Western Conference semifinals between the Mavericks and the Spurs can be said to have received the most attention from the league, and the bull-horse battle is bound to be quite exciting and tragic.

In contrast, the suspense of the Heat vs Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals is much smaller.

With Lin Fei, Wade and stable play, the Heat finally swept the Cavaliers 4:1 and easily advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although O'Neal's performance in this round of the series was not too good, he did a good job of protecting the frame in the penalty area.

Coupled with Lin Fei and Wade's round-and-turn defense, LeBron James' average of 24 points and 6 assists per game in this series plummeted.

But there were also some problems within the Heat, with Wade and O'Neal also not being very efficient in this series, and Mike Brown's defensive strategy was very effective.

This led to the fourth game of the series, the Heat finally lost to the Cavaliers on the road and failed to complete the sweep.

After the whole round of the series, Lin Fei is a well-deserved scoring champion and MVP.

In the case of Wade's inaccurate shooting, breakthrough and not being taken care of by the whistle, O'Neal was affected by the slashing shark,

Lin Fei's average of shots per game increased to 17, hitting an average of 10.2 three-pointers per game, and his average data per game soared to 39 points, 5 assists, 1 rebound, 4 steals and 1 block.

After 5 games in the whole series, Lin Fei hit a total of 51 three-pointers, setting a new record for individual three-point shooting percentage in a single series.

Compared with Lin Fei's always accurate three-point shooting and scoring explosiveness, his increasingly refined passing skills surprised the fans.

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

03 champion LeBron James was once again reduced to the background board of Lin Fei and the Heat, and the little emperor who went home to fish early was obviously unwilling.

At the same time, he averaged 15.6 points per game in this round of the series, and followed Lin Fei to drink soup and eat meat, and his performance was quite outstanding.

At the end of this season, the contract with an annual salary of about 850,000 yuan will also expire, and it is natural to expect to be able to perform in the playoffs and get a bigger contract in the offseason.
