The Warsington Wizards, formerly known as the Baltimore Bullets, are one of the veterans of the NBA, entering the league in 1961 and winning a championship in 1978.

However, after relocating to Washington in the 90s, the Wizards' record has been tepid, and "General" Arenas is also the most well-known star the Wizards have received over the years.

At the top of the stadium, the Wizards also inherited the glory of the Bullets, flying the 1978 championship flag, along with the retired jerseys of the likes of Wess Unseld.

Unseld may not be familiar to many fans, but he has left many records in the history of the NBA.

In his rookie season, Wes Unseld was able to score 13.8 points and 18.2 rebounds and directly won the regular season MVP that season.

This also makes Unseld the first NBA star to win the regular season MVP in his rookie season, and at the age of 23 years and 2 months, he is also the youngest regular season MVP in the NBA to date.

In second place is Dwayne Wade's 23 years and 4 months.

Lin Fei, a player born in June 1984, will only turn 23 years old in two months, and if he can officially win the regular season MVP this season, it will also break Unseld's record as the youngest MVP.

After the start of the game, the Wizards took the lead in attacking, and "General" Arenas broke through Marbury on the outside, and scored the ball with a flying basket after entering the restricted area.

As the Eastern Conference All-Star starter this season in place of Dwayne Wade, Arenas averaged 28.6 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game.

In the entire group of defenders in the East, it can be said that the fame and influence are second only to Lin Fei and Wade.

But because Wade continued to be injured in the second half of the season, Arenas' performance also managed to steal the spotlight, and his momentum among Eastern defenders was second only to Lin Fei.

However, according to the timeline of the original world, Arenas in the 06-07 season will also be his last glory, and the following season the "Great General" was almost out of the season due to injury, and only played 13 games.

Now that the regular season is coming to a close, many stars have also made explosive statistics, just two months ago, when the Wizards faced the Los Angeles Lakers at home.

"The Great General" Arenas also blasted out the most classic battle of his career, scoring 60 points against Black Mamba Kobe, which is also a new personal single-game high.

Arenas still has a large fan base in the Wassington area, and the title of No. 0 is quite important.

Looking back, Lin Fei also quickly started the game, taking advantage of the block to shake off Stevens in the opposite position, facing the big man Brandon Haywood who came up from the switch, and retreated to shoot with three points.

Lin Fei knew that there was a ball when he made a shot, and after landing, he turned over and returned to the defense without looking at the basket, and at the same time raised three fingers in a dashing manner.

"Huh!"

Seeing Lin Fei's wonderful success in pretending to be successful this time, the Wizards fans at home couldn't help but let out a piece of admiration.

Arenas couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, he couldn't compare with Lin Fei in terms of pretending.

It's not that I can't pretend, but my strength doesn't allow it.

The opening game was quite intense, the two teams were always strong in attack and weak in defense, and the offensive efficiency was also very high.

In the five live broadcast rooms of the Celestial Empire, the one who commented on the game with Director Zhang tonight was the old man Sun Zhengping, a layman with frequent golden sentences, and the broadcast cavity was full of substitution.

"Lin Fei hit a solid three-point shot in the opening season, and it seems that his hand is still very hot tonight, and he is expected to score high points again on the Wizards' home court!"

As soon as Director Zhang's words fell, Old Man Sun Zhengping couldn't help but say: "Director Zhang is right, Lin Fei does have a great chance to break his single-game scoring record tonight!" ”

Director Zhang: "......"

Immediately afterwards, Director Zhang praised again: "Oh, Lin Fei's flying dunk that broke into the penalty area by blocking and dismantling is wonderful, a quite bloody dunk performance!" Almost made Jamison pay for a foul! ”

Sun Zhengping: "Director Zhang is right, the home whistle of the Wizards is too obvious, and Jamison's beating foul was actually ignored by the referee!" ”

Director Zhang: "......"

Seeing that Zach Randolph turned over directly to Lin Fei, who rushed into the 0-degree angle on the right side after grabbing the offensive rebound, and assisted the latter to catch the ball for three points and hit another one, Director Zhang couldn't help but be excited:

"Randolph grabbed the offensive rebounds well, and the strategy was also good, in the past few months since joining the Knicks, this guy has gradually integrated into the Knicks' system!"

Sun Zhengping: "Coach Zhang, can you tell the fans in detail what is good about Randolph's rebound?" ”

Director Zhang: "......"

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

After the whole game, the Wizards and Knicks have always maintained an efficient scoring output, which is good as the fans expected, and this is a wonderful scoring battle.

And the Wizards have lost to the Knicks three times this season, and tonight they also played very bravely, making the suspense of the game drag on to the last 1 minute of the final quarter.

Knicks (121) :(120) Wizards.

In a key offense by the Knicks, Lin Fei, who had scored 53 points tonight, did not choose to play with the bag again, but gave the ball to Randolph after blocking and dismantling.

The latter made a quick stop to attract the defense and was under the hanging basket, and Eddie Curry jumped directly to send the air to catch the dunk.

"Boom!"

It was a wonderful match for the Knicks, Eddie Curry scored a crucial shot, slapped his chest and roared at the Wizards' bench.

After the timeout, Arenas's outside three-point shot missed, and Caron Butler rushed into the basket to make an offensive rebound, and Lin Fei, who was chasing, directly completed the cap.

"Smack!"

The red light lit up on the tempered rebound, and Lin Fei's wonderful big hat Caron Butler also helped the Knicks narrowly beat the Wizards by 3 points on the road and won 5 consecutive victories.

Lin Fei's personal 53 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks tonight also made him hit 50+ in 4 games after entering April, shaking the league.

While winning the Player of the Week, Lin Fei also surpassed Kevin Garnett to rise to second place in the latest regular season MVP rankings.

ESPN also reported on the ranking of NBA all-time stars for 50+ times in a single game, with Wilt Chang Bolun topping the list with 118 times, and Michael Jordan in second place also having 31 times.

In third place is Kobe Bryant's 22 times, and the fourth place is Lin Fei, who has scored 50+ points in a single game, has soared to 21 times, which means that he has surpassed Kobe.

In a game in the NBA, it is already very rare for an individual to get 30+ or 40+, and 50+ in a single game is rare.

For example, "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett, the highest single-game score in his entire career was only 47 points, and there was no 50+ performance.

Tim Duncan has only once in his career 50+ in a single game, and Dirk Nowitzki has only twice.

And Zhang Bolun, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Lin Fei are also the only four stars in the entire NBA who have more than 20+ times in a single game in their careers.

In fifth place is the 17th of the 17 of the tragic superstar.

At present, Kobe Bryant and Lin Fei are both active stars, and they are expected to surpass Michael Jordan's 31 single-game 50+.

As a fourth-year rookie, Lin Fei's terrifying scoring explosion is considered to have a chance to surpass Zhang Bolun's 118 50+ single-game appearances.

After all, in this season alone, Lin Fei's single 50+ games have been as high as 17 times.

The touting and reporting of Lin Fei's personal data has become the traffic password of reporters from many media.

In the latest issue of "Sports Illustrated", Lin Fei also appeared on the front page in 5 games and 4 games of 50+, and the popularity was unprecedented, putting the Mavericks with 71 wins, and the heat that was about to tie the Bulls' 72 wins record was pressed to the back.

On major sports forums at home and abroad, the discussion about who will win the MVP between Lin Fei and Nowitzki has become more and more enthusiastic.

"On the one hand, the personal data is against the sky, which is a phenomenon in the entire history of the NBA, and on the other hand, the team's record is against the sky, and it has basically locked in the best regular season record in history!"

"Lin and Dirk who wins this year's regular season MVP is really too difficult to choose!"

"This is probably the most competitive regular season MVP in the history of the league, right? Lin Fei and Nowitzki's performances, if they are placed in two different seasons, they are both regular season MVPs! ”

"Although I am a fan of Lin, I can't help but admit that this year's Mavericks' record is too perverted, and the lineup of key people is really not particularly luxurious, this MVP should really be given to Dirk Nowitzki!"

"If it's really hard to choose, why don't you award the regular season MVP to Lin Fei and Nowitzki at the same time?"

"There has never been a precedent in the history of the regular season MVP being awarded to two people at the same time, and the MVP and Best Rookie awards in the All-Star Game have had double yolks!"

"History always needs to be broken, and the precedent will be set, after all, Lin Fei and Nowitzki who don't win the regular season MVP, they feel sorry for their performance this season!"

"Lin Fei's average points per game have soared to 41 points, and the Knicks' record has also been rising, this season is really crazy!"

In the Knicks' subsequent trip to Miami and the Heat, Wade also chose to come back, and this game Pat Riley did a very good job of defending Lin Fei.

Coupled with the fatigue of traveling, the Knicks' role players were in a slump, and finally under Lin Fei's 39-point empty cut, the Knicks lost to the Heat 100-109 away.

However, the Pistons' side also lost to the Spurs and continued to lead the Knicks by only one game.

Getting Vince Carter after the All-Star Game significantly improved the Spurs' strength on the offensive end, and Carter gradually integrated into the Spurs' tactical system under the tutelage of Mr. Bobo.

After losing to the Heat, the Knicks, who returned to their home court, also quickly rebounded, winning consecutive victories against the Hornets and Celtics, and ended the regular season perfectly.

The New York Knicks' final record was also fixed at 54-28, tying the Detroit Pistons who were first in the East, but because of the 1-2 record in the meeting, they could only settle for second place.

On April 16, with the end of the regular season closing day, all the top eight playoff teams in the East and West were released.

Top 8 Eastern Conference Rankings in the 06-07 Season:

No. 1: Detroit Pistons (54-28).

No. 2: New York Knicks (54-28).

No. 3: Cleveland Cavaliers (51-31).

No. 4: Toronto Raptors (47-35).

No. 5: Miami Heat (45-37).

Sixth place: Chicago Bulls (41-41).

No. 7: Orlando Magic (40-42).

No. 8: Washington Wizards (39-43).

The Wizards were overtaken by the Magic in the closing stages and dropped to eighth in the East.

In this way, according to the playoff situation, the Knicks, who are second in the East, will also face the Orlando Magic led by Dwight Howard in the first round.

Of course, there are also internal sources that broke the news that the Wizards deliberately lost the game and fell to the eighth place in order to avoid the series of the first round of the playoffs and the bitter Knicks.

After all, the Pistons and the Knicks have the same record, and the Wizards lost all four games to the Knicks in the entire regular season and were swept by the other side, but they have a 2-2 tie record against the Pistons.

Therefore, Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan naturally prefers to play the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs rather than the Knicks.

There is also an inside source claiming that Richard Hamilton has suffered an ankle injury, which also puts a question mark on the Pistons' true combat effectiveness.

For the players who played the Magic instead of the Wizards in the first round of the playoffs, Lin Fei and the Knicks didn't have much pressure, and there was not much difference between the two teams anyway.

This season's "Warcraft" Dwight Howard entered the third season of his career, and under the leadership of head coach Big Van Gundy, the Magic also began to play the "one-star" strategy.

Howard's performance of averaging 17.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game is comparable to Eddie Curry next to Lin Fei in the competition for the first center in the East.

Although Eddie Curry averaged 19.6 points per game, which was significantly higher than Howard, he averaged 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game, and his performance on the defensive end was still inferior to "Warcraft".

Therefore, as the strength of the old sharks has slipped this season (averaging 17.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game), whether the first center in the East is Howard or Eddie Curry,

It also attracted many discussions and controversies among fans.

Of course, with his back to New York, and playing next to Lin Fei, and at the same time being selected as an All-Star, this makes Eddie Curry far surpass "Warcraft" in terms of traffic and influence.

And in the center position in the past two seasons, the league's talent has indeed withered rapidly.

Howard and Eddie Curry also have a chance to squeeze into the All-Star team this season.

In addition to Howard, the Magic now have players such as injury-affected Grant Hill and Turkish Magic Hido Turkoglu and Jamil Nelson.

For the Knicks and Magic series, the mainstream media's judgment is that the Knicks have a huge advantage and are expected to settle the battle within 5 games.

In the West, the Dallas Mavericks lived up to expectations, and with full efforts, they finally managed to break the Bulls' record with a 73-9 record, creating a new myth.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban spent a lot of money on a promotional video for the team's 73-win season and hung a team flag with the words "73-9" over the arena.

For the Mavericks to rely on such a lineup to achieve the best record in history of 73-9 and break the Bulls' epic record, it is indeed a shock to fans who follow the NBA around the world.

As a traverser, Lin Fei was also amazed by the unity and progress of the Mavericks this season, of course, compared to others, Lin Fei still had a certain foresight for the Mavericks' 73-9 loss.

After all, in the 06-07 season in the original world, the Mavericks won 67 wins, and Nowitzki also successfully won the regular season MVP.

This season, with the team more united, and Jason Terry replaced by Ginobili, Jason Kidd was driven by an early trade, and the Mavericks won six more games to create a myth, which is completely reasonable.

And the Mavericks' schedule this season is very reasonable, and the team started with a wave of 9 consecutive wins.

What's more, after the seven-tie loss in the finals last season, the Mavericks held their breath from the players to the coaches, and they were brave after being ashamed, and under many factors, this created the myth of 73 wins.

The top eight teams in the West are:

No. 1: Dallas Mavericks (73-9).

No. 2: Minnesota Timberwolves (65-17).

Third place: Phoenix Suns (61-21).

Fourth place: San Antonio Spurs (60-22).

No. 5: Los Angeles Lakers (51-31).

Sixth place: Utah Jazz (48-34).

No. 7: Denver Nuggets (45-37).

No. 8: Golden State Warriors (42-40).

The top four in the West have all reached 60+ wins, and the fierce competition can be described as terrifying.

The Mavericks, who won 73 games, still have to face the Golden State Warriors, who are rivals in their previous life, in the first round of the playoffs, and the current coach of the Warriors is Nowitzki's mentor Nelson Sr.

In the original world, the Warriors created the NBA's only 73-win myth, and it was also the Warriors' first round of the playoffs in the 06-07 season.

The accumulation of various grievances also makes this round of the series between the Mavericks and the Warriors more suspenseful and interesting.

In Lin Fei's opinion, if such a Mavericks are blackened by the Warriors again this season, it will really become a big joke in the league.

With the end of the regular season, various data kings have also been produced.

With a supernatural performance of 40.9 points per game, Lin Fei threw off Kobe Bryant (31.8 points) behind him and nearly 9 points, becoming the NBA's highest scoring champion in the past 40 years.

For Lin Fei's average of 40.9 points per game this season, as well as the terrifying output of 70+ in 3 games throughout the season, the league headquarters and David Stern have attached great importance to it.

At the latest headquarters meeting, David Stern also confirmed a decision, that is, starting this season, the league will set up a scoring champion trophy, and the name of this trophy is also officially named "Lin Fei Cup". (End of chapter)
