【262】 The playoffs begin, the battle for the first center in the East!

According to information, the NBA headquarters is currently collecting design ideas for the scoring champion trophy "Lin Fei Cup" from fans around the world through the official website.

In addition, we have instructed the relevant partner companies that have been responsible for the production of MVP trophies and FMVP trophies to produce the first scoring champion trophy.

Along with the regular season MVP, Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year trophies, they will be presented at the end of the first round of the playoffs.

Since its 60th anniversary, the NBA has produced many bright stars and awarded numerous individual and team honors.

Among them, in terms of individual awards, some awards have trophies, and some awards do not have trophies.

Awards such as Regular Season MVP, Finals MVP, Championship, All-Star MVP, Best Defensive Player (DPOY), Player of the Month, and Rookie of the Year are all trophies.

As for the All-NBA, All-Defensive Team, Player of the Week, and the statisticians, these awards have not yet set up a trophy.

Although in later generations Adam Joke vigorously promoted the reform of the NBA, renamed the names of each major trophy, and added the best team and various trophies of the data king,

But there is some deliberate and sensationalism at the end of the road.

And now David Stern has set up the awarding of the scoring champion trophy, which is truly in line with the people's will, not only supported by most of the senior management of the headquarters, but also welcomed by fans around the world.

After all, every fan who truly loves basketball and the NBA will be sincerely amazed by Lin Fei's scoring feast in the Knicks this season.

Compared with the ancient era of the "ancient monster" Wilter Zhang Bolun, although Lin Fei's average score per game and the highest score in a single game have not surpassed the peak Zhang 20,000.

But in terms of scoring difficulty, scoring explosiveness, ornamentation and even comprehensive hitting rate, it is higher than Zhang Bolun.

At a panel held by ESPN, Hajim Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller and others were also present.

Talk about the significance and nature of the league headquarters to set up the scoring champion trophy and name it "Lin Fei Cup" instead of "Zhang Bolun Cup".

"Even though my career was right somewhere between Wirt and Lin, when I entered the league in 1984 with Michael and Charles, Wirt was already retired, and when I retired at the beginning of the 21st century, Lin hadn't been in the league yet!"

"But I've watched Werther since I was a kid, and now I've seen Lin's scoring feast!"

"Especially the 75 points in last year's Christmas War, in fact, Lin was absent in the third quarter and only played three quarters in the whole game!"

"In terms of scoring efficiency, playing time and competitiveness, Lin averaged 40.9 points per game this season, which is not inferior to Wilt Zhang's 50.4 points that year!"

Hajim Olajuwon was the first to give his opinion, as a senior, but also as an interior player, he spoke highly of Lin Fei's performance at both offensive and defensive ends.

Charles Barkley, who was the first Lin Blower, took the initiative to applaud the establishment of the "Lin Fei Cup" at the league headquarters, and took the initiative to praise David Stern:

"Starting this season with the first scoring title trophy, I think it's a very good fit, the NBA is entering a new era, and encouraging players to play better on the offensive end has always been the tone of league reform!"

"Whether this scoring championship trophy is called Lin Fei Cup or Wilt Zhang Bolun Cup, it has its meaning and value, but if it were me, I would definitely stand on Lin's side!"

Larry Bird also praised: "You must know that in the NBA in the 60s, there were only 17 teams at that time, and a few stars were concentrated in the Celtics and Lakers, and the overall competitive environment was not large!" ”

"And now the league has 30 teams, and even though the New York Knicks are in the East this season in a much less competitive environment than in the West, they are also much tougher than in the '60s!"

Reggie Miller, as the current temporary NBA all-time three-point champion, highly affirmed Lin Fei's achievements this season:

"I'm very fortunate that I have commented at least 10 Knicks games on the spot this season, and Lin's scoring has become an art, and the existence value of the 'Lin Fei Cup' is also of great significance!"

"Kobe's 35.6 points last season and Lin's 40.9 points this season have all strongly promoted the development of the league's offensive tide!"

"Wilt Zhang's era is over, but this era belongs to Lin and Kobe!"

In parallel with the establishment of the scoring champion trophy, ESPN's latest newsletter also reviewed the naming of several of the league's major individual trophies:

The regular season MVP trophy is the most valuable player of the season award, and it is the ceiling of individual glory in the NBA, and its name is the Maurice Podorov Cup.

Podolov was the NBA's first commissioner, and during his tenure, he not only introduced the draft system, but also introduced the offensive 24-second rule, which greatly accelerated the pace and spectacle of the game, and negotiated the NBA's first live TV contract.

The name of the MVP trophy in the finals is the Bill Russell Cup, and Mr. Russell, as the "Lord of the Rings", is famous, and the FMVP named after him is naturally unacceptable.

The name of the championship trophy is naturally clearer to fans, and that is the famous O'Brien Cup.

O'Brien was the NBA commissioner who took office in 1975 and played a decisive role in collective bargaining with the town hall meeting.

In addition to this, the Defensive Player of the Year, Player of the Month, Rookie of the Month, and All-Star MVP also have trophies, but they have not been named so far.

In the previous life, because of Kobe's helicopter disaster, the league also named the AMVP trophy as the Kobe Bryant Cup at the All-Star Game the following year.

In today's parallel world, Lin Fei naturally does not want such a tragedy to happen again, and there will be a huge butterfly effect in the naming of the AMVP trophy in the future.

While Lin Fei won the highest scoring per game championship in the NBA in the past 45 years, Lin Fei's average of 10.1 assists per game in the 06-07 season also ranked third.

This also makes Lin Fei the first superstar in NBA history to average 40+ points and 10+ assists per game in a single season, and the first scoring champion to average 10+ assists per game.

While maintaining a super high production score, but also having such a top performance in organizing the team,

Throughout the history of the NBA, it is absolutely unprecedented.

Seeing that the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, specially funded the filming of a feature documentary for the Mavericks under Nowitzki.

James Dolan naturally can't be left behind, and has long been looking for a Hollywood director to shoot a season documentary for Lin Fei and the Knicks, highlighting Lin Fei's epic scoring and leading performance.

At the same time, he also spent millions of dollars to invite Michael Jackson to write the theme song "The king of New York" for this documentary of the Knicks, and sang it with Taylor Swift.

This time's vigorous publicity, coupled with Lin Fei's phenomenal season performance, also made his character as the "King of New York" completely established.

The 20-minute documentary is shown at least three times a day in Times Square in Manhattan, New York, and countless New York fans stop to watch it, making Lin Fei truly a man of the hour.

Suns star Steve Nash is the assist leader of the season with an average of 11.6 assists per game, becoming the highest assist leader per game in the last ten seasons.

Stephen Marbury ranked second with an average of 10.7 assists per game, although he failed to win the assist title, but Marbury's transformation this season is visible to the naked eye.

By Lin Fei's side, this "lone wolf" has really evolved from a tumor to an excellent point guard.

The rebounding king of the season was won by Kevin Garnett, the star of the Timberwolves, which is also the fourth consecutive season in the career of the "Wolves" to win the rebounding king.

Garnett averaged 24.6 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game this season, performing at the top on both ends of the floor and consistently topping the regular season MVP list.

The steal king is still Lin Fei, with an average of 3.3 steals per game, and the second-ranked "bearded" Byron Scott has only 2.1.

The block king is the data brush Marcus Camby who averaged 3.2 per game, and in the original world, Marcus Camby was also voted the best defensive player in the 06-07 season.

But in today's parallel world, the competition for defensive players is clearly more fierce this season, and Lin Fei and Garnett seem to have a better chance of being named DPOY than Marcus Camby.

Lin Fei won the scoring and stealing titles this season, which was also the first scoring title and the third steal champion in his four-year career.

Originally, the five data kings were one, and since the scoring champion set up a trophy, the other four data should also set up trophies.

If it's the Adam joke of the later generations, then it's definitely this urine, and the Fear Alliance is not messy.

However, today's David Stern is not so eager for quick success, and the scoring champion trophy is set up because Lin Fei has played an unprecedented performance in scoring this season.

But in the other four stats, there are no stars of the same caliber at the moment.

Compared with the five stat kings, fans are naturally more concerned about the release of voting awards such as regular season MVP, Team of the Season and Team of the Year.

Especially the MVP of the regular season, Lin Fei and Dirk Nowitzki this season have fierce competition, and one has played at the peak level in personal data and led the team to improve The results are also obvious to all.

The other led the team to a record of 73 wins, which went down in history.

Whether Lin Fei or Dirk Nowitzki wins the final regular season MVP, it will make countless fans feel regretful.

As sports journalists and commentators poll in the United States and across Canada, David Stern and NBA headquarters are also actively negotiating to agree on a new MVP selection mechanism that will be in line with the fierce competition for MVPs this season.

On April 18, the first shot of the 2006-07 NBA playoffs was fired.

The New York Knicks led by Lin Fei sat at home to welcome the visiting Orlando Magic.

In the home team's locker room before the game, the Knicks' players were in positive shape, full of energy, and confident of winning the playoffs at home.

The most excited is Eddie Curry, who will face Dwight Howard in this series, and in Eddie Curry's opinion, this is the right time for him to face the No. 1 center in the East.

"Is Dwight worthy of being called a monster too? Lao Tzu's hobby is to fight Warcraft with hamburger and Coke! ”

said that he quit Coke, but how could Eddie Curry really quit and still drink it secretly in private, but it does not affect training and weight maintenance, which has already made the Knicks' coaching staff and Lin Fei very satisfied.

"Who is Sido Tekoglu? In the face of such an unknown person, I really can't be interested! ”

Zach Randolph was even more arrogant, which made Lin Fei, as the captain, inevitably remind the black bear.

"Zach, although Turkoglu is a power forward, he is the most accurate guy in the Magic's three-point shots, averaging 5 shots per game, and can hit more than 2 three-pointers, this kind of spatial power forward, you are not easy to deal with!"

Tonight's Madison Square Garden was thunderous, with 100% attendance and a playoff season, and the average ticket price has doubled.

In the square outside the stadium, tens of thousands of fans also gathered, as well as many fans who came to New York from other places to travel.

In the center of the square, the statue of Lin Fei, which is formally sculpted, stands majestically, with a vigorous and vivid posture of shooting in the air, resolute eyes, sharp edges and corners, handsome facial features, and vivid.

Many fans stood in front of Lin Fei's statue and lined up to take pictures, and special security personnel needed to maintain constant order.

"Before the start of the season, there were still many fans who questioned James Dolan's stupid decision to erect a statue of Lin Fei in advance, and now that I look at it, this should be the wisest decision, right?"

"The NBA headquarters has set up a scoring champion trophy for Lin Fei, what else should not be to erect a statue in Madison Square Garden?"

"This season, the competition in the east is far less than that in the west, I really hope that Lin Fei and the Knicks can seize this golden opportunity and reach the finals!"

Before the start of the game, the huge screen outside Madison Square Garden also scrolled to play the Knicks' official clip of the team's top ten games this season.

The fans who watched it were enthusiastic, and the memories were vivid.

In the stadium, at the referee's whistle, the starters of both teams also walked onto the field.

The starting five on the New York Knicks' side are:

Point Guard (PG): Stephen Marbury,

Scoring Guard (SG): Lin Fei,

Small Forward (SF): Trevor Ariza,

Power Forward (PF): Zach Randolph,

Center (C): Eddie Curry.

The starting five on the Orlando Magic's side are:

Point Guard (PG): Jamil Nelson,

Shooting Guard (SG): Maurice Evans,

Small Forward (SF): Grant Hill,

Power Forward (PF): Sido Tekoglu,

Center (C): Dwight Howard.

Howard and Eddie Curry, two centers, walked up to the center circle and jumped the ball, and the two were tense and ferocious, like two lions locked in an octagonal cage.

"Dwight, with your height, you dare to lie about yourself 2.11 meters? How inferior are you? ”

Eddie Curry deliberately swept the top of his head with his palm and made a mocking gesture to compare his height.

Eddie Curry, who is officially 2.13 meters tall, is really tall, but standing with Howard, he is at least seven or eight centimeters taller, which shows that Howard's height of 2.11 meters is too wet.

In fact, at the beginning of the season, Big Van Gundy also tried to let Howard play power forward, and let Tony Barty on the bench play as a cameo center, but it was not suitable later.

And with Howard's physical bounce and reach talents, even if he lacks height, he can still dominate the center position.

Hearing Eddie Curry sarcastically mocking his height, the embarrassed look on Howard's face also flashed, and he replied with a heartless smile:

"I really don't believe you're going to be an All-Star without Lin, Eddie, are you tall? I'm going to score at least five goals on your head tonight! ”

In front of the technical table on the sidelines, two coaches, Isaiah Thomas and Stan Van Gundy, also smiled and stood up to shake hands with each other, and the first game of the playoffs of the 06-07 season officially began at the whistle.

"Beep!"

Howard showed his terrifying bounce speed and bounce talent on Eddie Curry's head, taking the lead in picking up the basketball, and the Magic team's first offense gave Howard to the inside.

Howard hit Eddie Curry with his back, and after two hits, he found that he couldn't stand it, so he could only have rough feet to shake his opponent, turn over and hook his hand to try one.

"Bang dang!"

Although the ball missed the frame, the positive and sharp Howard grabbed the offensive rebound against Eddie Curry and had a second jump dunk.

"Boom!"

This ball Howard showed his unlimited firepower in the opening game, although Eddie Curry was not bad for talent, but after all, he lost half of the "Warcraft" in terms of movement speed. (End of chapter)
