Although the Heat eliminated the Cavaliers 4-1, the team's overall dominance was far from last season.

Murphy, who was traded from the Golden State Warriors with Haslem and Tony Allen, did not fit well into the Heat's offensive and defensive system, and also retired due to injury in the second round, and his return date is undecided.

It turned out to be a relatively losing deal, and Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat, also made a deep review.

At the same time, Pat Riley also knows very well that if the Heat want to complete the title defense, Lin Fei and Wade are the two most important weights.

O'Neal's decline is inevitable, but Lin Fei and Wade will definitely have to stay healthy and in good shape to reach the Finals, while Rough, Battier and Williams will continue to do a good job of the team's main rotation.

In an interview with media reporters, Pat Riley also personally expressed his regret that Lin Fei failed to win the regular season MVP, and commented that Lin Fei is already the best scoring guard in the current league.

When asked by media reporters about Lin Fei's offseason decision, Pat Riley always focused on the big picture.

Said that the only goal of the Heat to defend the championship is to respect every decision made by Lin Fei in the offseason.

In the other group of semifinals in the East, the Detroit Pistons eliminated the New Jersey Nets led by Vince Carter and Jason Kidd 4-2.

and the Heat will meet in the East.

Although the Nets are more united this season than last season, the overall tactics still lack a system, and Carter, as the new boss of the team, obviously does not have enough ability to lead the team.

Coupled with the ups and downs of Jason Kidd's form, the Nets can only sink in the face of the powerful Pistons.

Vince Carter, as one of the four quarterbacks, averaged 31 points per game in the first round of the Nets vs Bulls, and the shooting rate exceeded 52%, which can be said to be quite explosive.

But in the second round, facing the Pistons' tough defense, Carter's scoring average dropped quickly to 22 points per game, shooting less than 45% from the field......

It turns out that Vince Carter's real strength is difficult to lead the team to build on the high-end game, and it is always a problem to touch the floor of the East Finals.

As a loyal fan of Uncle Carter, 18-year-old Stephen Curry also feels regretful.

Compared with Lin Fei's explosive results in the league now, Curry understands the importance of shooting itself more in his heart.

Lin Fei's impact on Curry is huge, with his outstanding performance in the senior league this year, especially the potential shown in three-point shooting,

Curry also received invitations and full scholarships from at least five NCAA universities, but because of his poor physical fitness, Curry still failed to win Duke University.

However, judging from the current situation, Curry should not go to the NCAA's obscure Davidson University, and he has a better option.

With Vince Carter's Nets eliminated, the league's four quarterbacks this season have also ended their season journeys home early.

Iverson's 76ers and Maddy's Rockets missed the playoffs directly, and Kobe Bryant's Lakers were also eliminated by the Suns 4-3 in the first round.

Compared with Lin Fei, who is also a scoring guard, the performance of the four quarterbacks in the past two seasons is indeed indescribable.

On ESPN's latest list of the top three active stars in the league by position voted by fans,

Because it is a ranking of existing personal strength, and does not involve personal qualifications and honors,

Therefore, in the position of point guard, Lin Fei of the Heat team was ranked first in dispute, Kobe Bryant was second, and Iverson could only be ranked third.

Double team for two consecutive years, and second place in the MVP selection for two consecutive years,

This is a height that Kobe Bryant and Iverson have not been able to reach,

It turns out that

Lin Fei is rapidly replacing the four quarterbacks in terms of strength and influence, and the only one who still has the ability to compete with Lin Fei is only the 27-year-old Kobe Bryant.

Although the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant were eliminated in the first round this season, they also played a tie-break with the Suns after all, and they were invincible with an average of 35.6 points per game in the regular season, and they continued to stage a scoring feast of personal heroism.

Coupled with the miracle of creating a single game of 81 points, Kobe Bryant's reputation among the four quarterbacks continued to rise.

While Iverson, Carter and Maddy all seem to have begun to decline, only Kobe Bryant is still stubbornly battling fate and sticking to his promise to Los Angeles fans.

Although Kobe Bryant has gone home to fish early, his explosive performance this season has also made the Lakers management more determined to build a team around Kobe.

Kupchak has also been active in the offseason, hoping to find a more suitable helper for Kobe Bryant and reinvigorate the Zen master's triangle offense.

The biggest free agent this offseason, in addition to Lin Fei, who has not yet renewed his contract with the Heat, is none other than Da Yao, whose contract with the Rockets has expired.

Unlike the original world, Da Yao did not choose to renew his contract with the Rockets in advance, he listened to Lin Fei's advice and decided to test the free agent market.

However, as the champion selected by the Rockets in 02, the Rockets have the priority to match Da Yao with the parent team.

Although the free trade market has not yet opened, Lakers general manager Kupchak has contacted Da Yao and his agent Bill Duffy in advance.

Both the Lakers management and Kobe Bryant himself are interested in recruiting Da Yao, hoping that he can become O'Neal's replacement.

Of course, the team that wants to sign Da Yao is not only the Lakers, who average 22 points, 10 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of nearly 52%, and are selected for the three teams of the season, which has given Da Yao enough strength to get the top salary.

In this era of withering centers, the American media predicts that at least 5 or more NBA teams will be willing to sign Da Yao with the maximum salary.

Compared with Kobe's wonderful turnaround this season, Iverson in the same class has a lot of bad luck.

Although he also averaged 33 points per game this season, his 61 points per game also set a new career high.

But the Philadelphia 76ers failed to even make the playoffs, with a win rate of less than 47%, and their record was only ranked 9th in the East.

This is something that 76ers management cannot tolerate, and initiating an Iverson trade in the offseason is inevitable.

Although Iverson proved to be a serious mismatch between his personal strength and his ability to lead the team in the 76ers, he is after all the former regular season MVP, and his popularity and influence have always been huge.

Therefore, there are still many teams in the league that want to get Iverson through trades, even if there is no record, Iverson can definitely guarantee that the home team's tickets will sell well.

Many loyal AI fans are embarrassed that Iverson is now in a situation where he is being traded, but the NBA will always be a cruel business league.

In the face of fierce competition, in the context of the rapid rise of the 03 generation, Iverson no longer has enough confidence.

Compared with the Heat and Pistons in the East, who easily met in the Eastern Conference Finals, the two semifinals in the West were much more intense and crazy.

The bull-horse battle between the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs really lived up to expectations, with twists and turns, and finally won the tie-break.

As an old NBA fan of the original world, Lin Fei is also familiar with the wonderful bull and horse battles in the 06 playoffs, and has always regretted that he was too young to witness this round of heroic battles.

After all, in the entire history of the NBA playoffs, the bull and horse wars in 06 can be called a first-class classic.

Now in the parallel world, Lin Fei naturally won't miss it, and before and after the series with the Cavaliers, he has always been paying attention to the bull and horse battles in the west, and he will watch every live broadcast.

Although now the variable of Ginobili gives the Mavericks a slight advantage in strength and record,

But the Spurs, led by Tim Duncan, are still terrifyingly strong, especially in the playoffs.

Three of the first six games of the series were within two points, and two games went to overtime, with Nowitzki missing out on the stunner in G1 and G4 completing the redemption.

Whether it's Duncan and Nowitzki's all-time rivalry, or the comparison between Ginobili and Starkerhouse, or Michael Finley's transition from the Mavericks to the Spurs in his later years,

All make this round of the series full of highlights, gimmicks, wonderful, and wonderful.

In the first six games, Nowitzki averaged 28.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and Duncan averaged 32 points, 12 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.

Tim Duncan is a superstar who can really explode in the playoffs, and he is not at the same level as those pseudo-stars who are fierce in the regular season but can't play hard in the playoffs.

Nowitzki has clearly more helpers around him, with Ginobili and Terry both averaging close to 20+ points per game, and Josh Howard and Devin Harris also on the lookout.

But now the Spurs, only one Tony Parker can give enough help by Shi Fo's side, and if it weren't for Duncan's super god statistics, the team would not have been able to hold up to the tie-break in front of the Mavericks.

On the night of the bull and horse battle to grab seven,

Lin Fei also came to the general villa, and it just so happened that Da Yao and Ye Li also came to travel.

Three NBA stars also gathered to watch the game while talking about offseason planning and outlook.

Da Yao and Ye Li's relationship has now stabilized, and the two have preliminarily decided to return to China next summer to complete their marriage.

At this time, on the sofa in the living room of the villa, Da Yao, roughly and Lin Fei were sitting together, and on the screen of the huge TV, the Mavericks VS Spurs battle had begun.

In the kitchen, Ye Li and Song Yang's two sisters-in-law and nanny are preparing dinner, with dumplings and fried steaks, and a few home-cooked dishes, a combination of Chinese and Western.

Seeing Duncan's back turn over in the game, he steadily threw a 45-degree angle wipe board, and returned to the defensive end to help defend and gave his old teammate Ginobili a flying hat.

Da Yao, who was holding a warm teacup in his hand, couldn't help but sigh:

"Duncan, this guy is really powerful, he really has a top offensive and defensive position, and he is the number one forward, Nowitzki and Garnett may not be able to catch up!"

roughly watched Nowitzki's golden rooster independent jumper hit a three-point shot, and he also sighed:

"When I first entered the Mavericks, I was full of spirits and was fighting Dirkby everywhere, but now I have to admit that his offensive ability is much better than mine!"

Da Yao smiled and patted his shoulder, "After all, Nowitzki snatched the regular season MVP from our Lin Fei!" ”

"Speaking of which, I still have to feel sorry for Lin Fei, I can only blame our Asian players, it is inevitable that we will be treated unfairly in the NBA!"

"But to be honest, the past two years are much better than when I first entered the league, after all, Asian players can hold up in the NBA, except for the three of us, Zhu Fangyu has also temporarily gained a foothold in the NBA!"

While speaking, a close-up of the Mavericks' bench was also given on the TV screen, and Zhu Fangyu was sitting on the bench communicating with his teammate Harris next to him.

Lin Fei leaned his back on the sofa, rested his head on the palm of his hand, and said with a smile:

"Brother Yao is right, in the NBA, to break the doubt and prejudice, you can only rely on more efforts and more dazzling data than these black and white stars!"

"The sign of the sick man of East Asia, we must completely kick it out!"

Song Yang and Ye Li quickly brought the fragrant meal to the coffee table, and several people chatted while eating.

"Brother Yao, how are you doing, there should be many teams that have approached you and your agent, right?"

Da Yao nodded and said: "The Lakers, Pacers and Hornets have all offered me a maximum salary, but the Rockets are also very interested in keeping me with the maximum salary!" ”

"It's good to stay in the Rockets and continue to play, after all, I've lived in Houston for four years, and Ye Li and I have also adapted to life over there!"

Lin Fei nodded slowly, he knew that even if Da Yao wanted to jump out of the mess of the rocket, after all, he was a restricted player, and the parent team had limited matching rights, so he couldn't just leave if he wanted to.

In contrast, I have much more freedom.

"Lin Fei, or are you free, the offseason team is at will, what, do you plan to go to the Phoenix Suns or the New York Knicks?"

Lin Fei smiled: "Both teams are okay, Nash has been recruiting me for the past two years, and I am also interested in working with a top point guard, and Kerr's Suns management has also guaranteed to give me the identity of the core boss of the team!" ”

"And then there's the Knicks, after all, it's the cosmopolitan city of New York, who wouldn't want to go?"

"And the Knicks in the past two years have been different from the previous two years, Eddie Curry and Jamal Crawford were traded from the Bulls, and the draft vision is also good, David Lee and Channing Frye, and that Trevor Ariza, are all relatively potential rookies!"

Da Yao smiled: "The Knicks management has also contacted Bill Duffy, haha, Lin Fei, maybe we may really become teammates in the new season!" ”

Roughly followed by the excitement: "It's not two, it's all three of us, it doesn't matter how much the salary is, I still hope to be teammates with Lin Fei as much as possible, the blocking and dismantling of the two of us is full of tacit understanding!" ”

Song Yang, the wife sitting opposite, did not speak, as the real agent behind the scenes, Song Yang still preferred to let him stay in the Heat, after all, they are also used to living in Miami.

Lin Fei put a dumpling stuffed with meat and meat in his mouth, nodded and smiled:

"If the three of us can really be in a team, it will be too interesting, it's best to bring Zhu Fangyu too!"

In addition to the Suns and Knicks, Dongmei is also secretly in contact with other teams, and the Pacers, 76ers and Nets can also be considered! The Timberwolves, for their part, are also looking forward to re-signing me back with the maximum salary! ”

"But it's still a bit early to think about it, and going all out to win the championship is the most important goal for me and for me now!"

Da Yao said enviously: "It seems that you are going to add another championship ring to your hands this year, I don't know when it will be!" I haven't played in the second round of the playoffs! ”

"I'm going back to China early next month, waiting for your good news in the finals, let's fight together at the World Championships in August!"

nodded roughly and said: "This year's World Championships is not easy to play, I heard that the dream of the United States will send a strong lineup, we seem to be in a group with the United States, right?" ”

Lin Fei also has some yearning for the Island Country World Championships in August: "This time flies too fast, in the blink of an eye, two years have passed since the 04 Yadian Olympics, and we are getting closer and closer to our own Olympics in 08!" ”

Da Yao said solemnly: "Yes, the past few years have been the golden period for the development of our Celestial Basketball, and this World Championships is also the most important training for the 08 Olympics, so we must try our best to achieve a good result at that time, and strive to reach the finals again and impact the championship in the case of the top four!" ”

The 2006 World Basketball Championship will be held from August 19th to September 3rd in several major cities of the island nation.

The national team of the United States also announced its public reputation in advance, in order to wash away the shame of losing the championship in the 04 Olympic Games and maintain the status of the United States as the hegemon in the world basketball world, it will send a strong lineup to the expedition with only one goal, that is, the championship.

But as we all know, the national basketball team of the United States has always attached more importance to the Olympic Games and despised the World Championships.

Therefore, how gorgeous the lineup of the United States Dream Seven will be at that time is also a question that fans are very concerned about.

The battle between the Mavericks and the Spurs ended quickly, and in the end, as Lin Fei expected, under the leadership of Nowitzki's 37 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks,

The Mavericks defeated the Spurs 119-112 in an overtime game to reach the Western Conference Finals in the 05-06 season, leaving Tim Duncan's 44 points and 16 rebounds in the air.

In this series, Duncan and Nowitzki, two top power forwards, really played their own characteristics and styles.

The Timberwolves, another top power forward in the league, led by Kevin Garnett, eliminated the Suns with a score of 4:2 with a fierce defense and met the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.

After a season of ups and downs, the Timberwolves, led by Garnett, Artest, Szebiak and Gerrard, are once again on the highest stage in the West.

This also made Lin Fei inevitably recall the classic moment when he came out of nowhere in the Western Conference Finals between the Timberwolves and Lakers two years ago.

It's another year for the East-West finals to start, and hundreds of millions of fans are looking forward to it.

The Heat, Pistons, Mavericks and Timberwolves are also the four teams with the highest championship probabilities that ESPN has been predicting.

The majority of fans in the Celestial Empire also gradually came out of the anger and unwillingness of Lin Fei to miss the regular season MVP, and looked forward to Lin Fei leading the Heat to win the championship again and win the finals MVP.

With Lin Fei's ungodly performance in the Eastern Conference semifinals, averaging 39 points and 5 assists per game, on ESPN's latest Finals MVP list,

Lin Fei also beat the new MVP Dirk Nowitzki and ranked first on this list.

Many experts and commentators have shown that once the Heat wins the championship this year, Lin Fei's probability of winning the FMVP will be significantly higher than that of teammate Wade.

And O'Neal's declining performance has basically missed FMVP.

The Pistons and Heat met in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second year in a row, and there were basically no secrets between the two teams......
