[266] The only one in history, the MVP of the regular season double yolk eggs!
After the best team and the best defensive team were released, fans at home and abroad also started a heated discussion about it.
After all, regular season MVPs are produced every year, but double-team players don't happen every year.
"Lin is a double-first-team star for three consecutive seasons, and with this honor, looking at the entire history of the NBA, I am afraid that there will be no more than three people who can get it, right?"
"Lin Fei and Garnett are really offensive and defensive, judging by this standard, Dirk Nowitzki is a lot worse, after all, the national chariot has never entered the defensive lineup once, let alone for a while!"
"As a star, it's more about attack! After all, defense can be lost to role players, but offense at critical moments must be superstars! ”
"Why hasn't the regular season MVP been out yet? I'm about to die, Feige must be elected this year! ”
"Just look at the Mavericks' dilemma of being forced into a seven-tie by the Warriors in the first round, the 73 wins in the regular season are too big, and in terms of personal data, Lin Fei simply threw off Nowitzki a Garnett!"
"Haha, when did the wolf king become a unit of measurement?"
"Should I say it or not, the Mavericks' 73 wins are real water, a proper regular season team, if it weren't for Kidd's stunner in the first game of the playoffs, the Mavericks may have been swept by the Warriors by now!"
"I feel that the Mavericks don't have any championship looks like this year, although 73 wins are bluffing, but they also overdraft the team's health and energy, and when they play the Spurs in the second round, I feel that the Mavericks may be eliminated!"
An NBA columnist for Sports Illustrated wrote a special article to elaborate on the gold content of the regular season double-team:
"As we all know, the All-NBA Team of the Season and the All-Defensive Team, especially the All-of-the-Best Team and the Defensive Team, can be described as the king of the NBA that season!"
"The best team usually looks at the overall statistics of the players, and the team's record also has a certain weight, while the best defensive team pays more attention to the players' performance on the defensive end!"
"And it's very rare to have a player who can be named to both the All-Star Team and the All-Defensive Team in one season!"
According to the official data of the NBA, starting with the 1946-47 season and the 1968-69 season, the best team was selected.
In nearly 100 years, only 15 players have been named to the NBA's All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive Team multiple times (twice or more) in a single season.
Among the players who have been selected twice for the double team are (three): Havlicek, Karl Malone and Kobe Bryant.
The players who have been selected for the double team three times are (4): "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, Scottie Pippen, Jason Kidd, and Lin Fei.
The four-time Double Team players are (five): Jerry West, Walter Fraser, Wilt Zhang, Hajim Olajuwon, David Robinson,
Five players named to the double team are (one): Kevin Garnett.
Six players named to the Double First Team are (one): Tim Duncan.
Nine players named to the Double First Team are (1): Michael Jordan.
From this list, it can be seen that Michael Jordan, as the famous "God of Basketball", has a brilliant career that is really difficult to surpass, and the highest form of both offense and defense.
With nine double-firsts and 10 scoring titles, five regular season MVPs and six championships, it's a long way to go for any rising star to surpass the basketball gods.
Lin Fei was able to win three double-firsts in a row after playing four seasons of the regular season in his career, and was also given the expectation that he was most likely to surpass Jordan.
In this list, the three stars who have been selected for the most double-team teams are Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett.
In this parallel world, Garnett won the championship early because of Lin Fei's butterfly effect, which was a huge change in his personal growth and career, so he could be among the top ranks.
Jordan and Duncan are the two most famous cornerstones in NBA history, and the two have won a total of 11 championships in the original world.
At the same time, as a superstar in the top 10 levels of history, Shaquille "Big Shark" O'Neal, who has 5 championship trophies,
This season is also the first time that he has missed the NBA All-NBA team after 13 consecutive seasons in his career, and a generation of legends has finally come to an end.
Under the popularity of the best team, the regular season MVP of the 06-07 season has naturally attracted the expectation and attention of more fans.
May 2, Madison Square Garden.
At the behest of Knicks owner James Dolan, more than 3,000 colorful balloons were hung over the roof of the arena in advance to celebrate the regular season MVP announced today.
James Dolan has already broken the kettle for this, and he is looking forward to the MVP in a high profile, believing that Lin Fei will definitely be able to defeat Dirk Nowitzki to be elected.
At that time, the Knicks staff will also release these balloons as a celebration and blessing to the star Lin Fei.
Looking at the balloons hanging on the roof of the stadium, Lin Fei, who was training in the arena, was also a little embarrassed, if the MVP really didn't give him in the end, wouldn't James Dolan follow the example of Cook, the former owner of the Lakers?
As we all know, in the 1969 Finals between the Lakers and the Celtics, the Lakers' home stadium was still the Great Western Forum Arena, and Lakers owner Kent Cook was convinced that the team could win the tiebreaker.
Therefore, thousands of colorful balloons were hung on the roof of the pavilion in advance, ready to be released at the moment of winning the championship.
But the final result is also known to everyone, "Baylor" never disappointed, the Lakers suffered a reversal with a big lead in the final quarter, and the Celtics won the championship away.
And the Lakers had to donate all the balloons to the local orphanage after the game.
Now if Lin Fei fails to be elected as the MVP of the regular season, then he and the Knicks owner will really be more embarrassed than the Lakers owner and Jerry West at that time.
Before the start of the second round of the playoffs between the Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers that night, G1,
In the home team's locker room, the Knicks' players were scrolling through their phones while watching ESPN live on TV, waiting for the regular season MVP vote to be announced.
"Why is this year's regular season MVP announced so late? The second round is going to start and still hasn't come out yet? ”
"There's no way, it's definitely too difficult to choose, Lin and Dirk, whoever wins the MVP will be controversial, and whoever doesn't win the MVP will have regrets!"
"What do you have to regret about Dirk taking guys? He was almost eliminated by the Warriors in the first round, 73 wins are just brushed out, and the regular season MVP must be Lin's! ”
"Last year, Dirk won the regular season MVP by a subtle advantage under the operation of Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, and wants to win the regular season MVP this year? That's fair too! ”
"It's been three years, Lin has been waiting for three years, do you know how Lin has spent these three years? It's time for Lin to take one! ”
The teammates were all fighting Lin Fei, and although Lin Fei himself seemed calm on the surface, he was also very nervous in his heart.
is different from the mood of the 04-05 and 05-06 seasons, Lin Fei was on the same team as Wade before, and with his own shallow qualifications, the Heat is indeed a big three lineup, so he is not too obsessed with the MVP personal award.
But now Lin Fei has become the leader and absolute boss of the Knicks, and led the team to jump directly from the bottom of the East to the second in the East, this regular season MVP, Lin Fei thinks he is qualified to win.
Now that the playoffs are in full swing, from the perspective of the team's impact on the championship, he won the regular season MVP, which can also greatly encourage his teammates and unite the overall momentum of the team.
But this season's MVP competition is too complicated, Nowitzki's Mavericks have a 73-win record, and Novitzki's king is the peak performance, from a historical point of view, it is also intolerable not to win MVP.
However, if he can win from such an unprecedented super competition, then this regular season MVP is even more extraordinary for Lin Fei, even higher than a unanimous MVP of Li in other seasons.
You must know that if it weren't for Lin Fei, Dirk Nowitzki would also have a good chance to be named the unanimous MVP with 73 wins this season like Stephen Curry in the original world.
On the one hand, the unanimous MVP shows the strength of the individual and the team's record, but it also shows that the competitive environment of the top stars of the season is not fierce enough.
At six o'clock in the evening, just as the players were preparing for the pre-match entrance ceremony, head coach Isaiah Thomas excitedly pushed open the door of the dressing room, his eyes shining and he looked very excited.
Eddie Curry immediately came up and asked Thomas, "Coach, is there any news in advance?" Who is the MVP? ”
Looking at Isaiah Thomas's excited expression, the other teammates of the Knicks seemed to have guessed a few points, and their faces were full of emotion, and they decided that the regular season MVP was already Lin's.
Lin Fei also jumped up from the massage chair at this time and asked the head coach, "Coach, is there really news?" ”
Stephen Marbury clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking strategic:
"Looking at the coach's expression, you know that the MVP of the regular season must be Lin's, I said earlier, don't worry, Lin's data and efficiency this season are rare in history!"
The Knicks' locker room instantly heard the cheers of the players, but at this moment, Isaiah Thomas deliberately became serious, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Don't be too happy, I have two news here, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Seeing that Isaiah Thomas suddenly sold off the guanzi, and there was bad news, everyone immediately looked at each other.
Lin Fei was the first to speak: "Let's listen to the bad news first, at least there is good news waiting for you after listening!" ”
This is like eating grapes, Lin Fei always likes to start with the not very good grapes first, so that the remaining grapes will always get better and better.
Isaiah Thomas sighed, met Lin Fei's gaze, and then shook his head slightly:
"The bad news is that Dirk Nowitzki won the regular season MVP ......"
As soon as the head coach said this, the locker room instantly became silent, quiet as if the air could squeeze out water, and the awkward atmosphere began to fill every corner.
Lin Fei's little nose twitched slightly, his expression was slightly bitter, and he couldn't talk about the blow, but when he thought of the thousands of colorful balloons hanging by James Dolan on the roof of the pavilion,
Three black lines suddenly floated down on his forehead, which was really embarrassing for his mother to open the door and get home embarrassed.
Immediately after that, there were righteous indignant complaints and anger from the teammates:
"What's the situation? MVP actually gave Dirk that white soft-bastard and directly ignored Lin? He meows, Lao Tzu will see him and abuse him once in the future! ”
Zach Randolph still can't spit ivory out of his mouth, angrily scolding Nowitzki for being a soft egg, but he hasn't won an opponent once in an official match.
"Just because of a 73-win win to give the regular season MVP to Dirk? This is too much of a bully, isn't it? Didn't anyone look at how Lin led the Knicks out of the quagmire? 40 points and 10 assists per game, oh my God, and more than 60% shooting......"
Stephen Marbury is the most worthless to Lin Fei, because only he knows how much Lin Fei has changed since his arrival, and his understanding of basketball has also improved to a new level.
"Protest, must protest, accompany the regular season MVP for three consecutive years, the league is discriminating against Lin and Asian players!"
"Why did Dirk Nowitzki win the regular season MVP for the second consecutive year? I don't understand this, I really can't figure it out! ”
"The Mavericks had better reach the Finals, and then be blown up by our Knicks and lose, see if Dirk Nowitzki is the MVP!"
The last to speak was "Little Potato" Nate Robinson, although he was tough on his lips, but he had to beat the drum in his heart, it was really too difficult to win a Western powerhouse like the Mavericks.
Just when the players refused to stop saying a word, the honest and calm David Lee suddenly stopped everyone and asked Isaiah Thomas:
"Coach, don't you have any good news? What is it? ”
Before Isaiah Thomas could speak, Eddie Curry was a little annoyed and said:
"Dirk has won the regular season MVP, what good news can there be, no matter how good the news is, it's really infuriating!"
Isaiah Thomas hurriedly quieted everyone, and then his serious expression finally couldn't hold back, and he shouted with a smile:
"The good news is that Lin also won the regular season MVP!"
Thomas's shout immediately stunned the Knicks players, and everyone was puzzled one by one, not understanding what the head coach meant?
"Coach, what's the situation? Is it me or Dirk as the MVP of the regular season? ”
Lin Fei also asked a little confused, who is this regular season MVP? It can't really be two people, right?
Isaiah Thomas smiled excitedly: "I was just as incredulous as you when I first got the news, but this is indeed the exact news from the Alliance Headquarters!" ”
"You and Dirk both have exactly the same number of votes, and after President Stern held a high-level meeting at the headquarters to discuss, it was finally decided that you and Dirk would share the regular season MVP for the 06-07 season!"
"This is a good thing, for the first time in the history of the NBA league, the regular season MVP is contributed by two people!"
When Isaiah Thomas's words fell, the Knicks' players finally reacted, cheering and shouting, and under the leadership of Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph, they rushed up directly to lift Lin Fei up and throw him high into the sky.
"Damn, you guys, do you want me to die on the roof?"
The Knicks' teammates don't care whether this year's regular season MVP is shared by the two or not, they always know that Lin Fei is the regular season MVP, which belongs to the Knicks and the league's MVP.
"Haha, Lin, what did I say? You can definitely win the MVP, and no one will threaten you? ”
"Coach Isaiah is so hateful, shouldn't we fix him too?"
"yes, if the good news comes first, then we don't have to care about the bad news at all!"
Lin Fei was thrown into the air by his teammates again and again, feeling everyone's laughter and laughter, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The NBA's regular season MVP, a season's Most Valuable Player award, and the league's individual award ceiling, who can not look forward to it?
With this regular season MVP, Lin Fei feels that his career and historical status have been sublimated at this moment.
As for sharing the MVP with Dirk Nowitzki, Lin Fei doesn't have any special ideas about this, and he doesn't feel that this MVP is discounted because of this.
After all, he is the core boss of the 73-win team, and if this MVP is not given to Nowitzki, it will indeed become a big injustice in the history of the league.
Being able to share the regular season MVP with the boss of the 73-win team, and create the only regular season MVP double yolk egg in NBA history, this should be regarded as a great glory for the NBA to reach its peak in the post-Jordan era, right?
At this moment, on the TV in the locker room, in ESPN's sports program, the host also officially announced the MVP results, and sure enough, Lin Fei and Dirk Nowitzki shared the regular season Most Valuable Player award.
At the same time, the specific votes of the two have also been announced:
Of the 118 journalist judges, Lin Fei and Dirk Nowitzki each received 50 first-place votes, while the remaining 18 first-place votes were Kevin Garnett with 17 and Kobe Bryant with 1.
Lin Fei's second vote was 49, and Nowitzki's second vote was 52.
Although there were three fewer votes in the second vote, Lin Fei had four more third votes and one more fifth vote.
In the calculation of 10 points for the first ballot, 7 points for the second ballot, 5 points for the third ballot, 3 points for the fourth ballot, and 1 point for the fifth ballot,
Lin Fei and Dirk Nowitzki both scored 928 points, which is exactly the same.
After the results of the ballot were released as soon as possible, the NBA headquarters held a meeting under the chairmanship of David Stern, hoping to use the method of additional election to determine the winner and loser of Lin Fei and Nowitzki.
But for the first time in NBA history, two people have the same number of votes, which is also a rare spectacle in history, and this probability is very low.
This also shows that Lin Fei and Nowitzki, in the MVP competition this season, really have a very huge advantage, so that fans, media reporters and commentators are unable to choose.
In this case, what if the two simply share the MVP of this season?
After all, if this kind of situation with the same vote score is not secretly operated internally, it is difficult to happen a second time in the future.
In the end, after discussion, David Stern made a decision, and two-thirds of the headquarters executives also raised their hands in agreement, the first and probably the only regular season MVP double yolk egg in NBA history,
Under special historical conditions and fierce competition, it was born.
The MVP voting score of 928 points can be said to be very low, but the reason for this is precisely because of the double strength of Lin Fei and Nowitzki, which completely equalized the unchanged total score.
You must know that Kevin Garnett, who ranked third in the number of votes, only scored a total of 579 points, Kobe Bryant in fourth place only scored 326 points, and James in fifth place scored 301 points, and the gap with Lin Fei and Nowitzki is very large.
The news that Lin Fei and Dirk Nowitzki shared the MVP of the regular season in the 06-07 season spread quickly among NBA fans at home and abroad like a tornado.
Such a result may be the most perfect for the vast majority of fans of both teams.
However, there are also some discordant voices, claiming that the NBA's regular season MVP lays double yolk eggs, which is completely the league's practice for public opinion, which seriously affects the gold content of the MVP.
In the NBA forum of the New Wolves Network, a team called "NBA regular season MVP produces double yolk eggs, has the gold content of the Most Valuable Player award become lower?" ",
In less than 2 hours after the release, there were more than 1,000 comments and replies, which was a miracle in 07 years when the Internet was not developed.
"Lin Fei and Nowitzki share the MVP, is the MVP gold content lower? What kind of bullshit logic is this? Is it purely mathematical? It's really expensive to watch the ball! ”
"Let's take a look at what Lin Fei and Nowitzki have done this season, one led the team to create a myth of 73 wins, and his personal 26+9 data and 50% shooting rate are impeccable,"
"The other is to bring the Knicks, who are at the bottom of the East, directly to the second place in the East, winning more than 30 games than last season, and at the same time averaging 40+10+3 super performances per game, 60+ in 5 games in the season, 70+ in 3 games, hitting a total of 509 three-pointers in a single season, with a shooting rate of more than 60%......"
"Is it Lin who won the regular season MVP that lowered the value of the MVP? Or did Nowitzki lower the MVP by winning the regular season MVP? ”
"Kudos to the double yolk egg selected by the league for the MVP this time, Lin Fei and the fans of Nuo Tianwang don't have to regret it!"
"The two strongest regular season MVPs after the 21st century are Lin and Nowitzki, and they both appeared this year, which is called no gold?"
"Oh my God, everyone must have forgotten, Lin Fei won't be 23 years old until June, which means that he surpassed Weiss Unseld's 23 years and 2 months and became the youngest Mr. MVP in the NBA!"
"Haha, the youngest Mr. 50 points in the league, the youngest Mr. 60 points, the youngest Mr. 70 points, the youngest all-time 60 superstars, the youngest regular season MVP, these honors have been dominated by Fei Ge alone!"
"Don't forget that Lin is also the youngest regular season MVP, Finals MVP, All-Star MVP and championship Grand Slam winner!"
"Three championships, a regular season MVP, a Finals MVP, three season doubles, a scoring champion and two steal champions, this honor, Michael Jordan in the fourth season of his career is going to cry, right?" (End of chapter)
