In the context of the miracle of Lin Fei in 35 seconds and 16 minutes on the whole network, James's vicious action of tearing the jersey was also repeatedly spoofed by the Internet god among the fans, and the little emperor's wind comments went all the way.

As early as last summer's offseason, James had renewed his contract with the Cavaliers for 4 years and 60 million US dollars, and James could have signed a 5-year 80 million contract like Anthony.

But in the end, James and his team of economists still chose to sign a contract with the Cavaliers for only 4 years, and I don't know if there was already a plan for this.

But at this point, the Cavaliers management and owner Daniel Gilbert has actually had concerns and suspicions about James for a long time.

And James's economic and public relations team, relying on the support of the Nike consortium, has repeatedly interfered in the team's internal affairs, which has caused the dissatisfaction of owner Gilbert.

Originally, in this year's Eastern Conference semifinals, Gilbert was still satisfied with Gilbert's performance with the team, after all, after he took over the Cavaliers, the team's record was better every year.

But it was because James tore Lin Fei's jersey that he lost and lost in the fan's public opinion.

Both career prospects and off-the-field business value have been greatly impacted.

Therefore, Gilbert's respect and connivance of LeBron James will inevitably be discounted.

After all, from the day he entered the league, the talented James was highly expected by the Cavaliers and the whole league, and was considered the future star of the NBA.

But four seasons have passed, and reality has proved that James, the 03 champion, not only can't beat Lin Fei, but is not even as good as Wade, and there is still a chance to become an MVP-level star in the future, but if he wants to become the first person in the league, he has almost been sentenced to death in advance.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that James still has a huge room for growth, after all, he is only 22 years old now, but Lin Fei and Wade are also growing, and Anthony and Bosh are also in hot pursuit.

What's more, outside of the class of 03 rookies, Kobe, Wolves, Duncan and drivers who are at their peak, which one is not higher than James now?

The owner of the Cavaliers naturally knows that there are only a few superstars in the NBA league today, two slaps are enough to count, and it is already a great blessing to have a James, not every team can get a genius like Lin Fei and Duncan.

But in the future, Gilbert will not let James's team interfere in the management and decision-making of the team, and he, as the owner of the team, must have enough authority.

Under the fermentation of Lin Fei's 35.16 seconds and James tearing his jersey, Lin Fei's products in all fields have achieved a significant sales surge.

The sales of Nike's signed basketball shoes endorsed by James have plummeted, and even on some online platforms, fans have spontaneously organized a boycott of Nike products and James' signed sneakers.

Of course, this is partly because of James's unsportsmanlike offenses in the game, which caused his personal image to be damaged, and on the other hand, because the quality of Nike jerseys is not up to par.

With the Cavaliers eliminated, LeBron James, who ended the '06-07 season early, also flew to Los Angeles and locked himself in a mansion home in Beverly Hills, refusing all commercial activities.

"LeBron, Nike still has to attend this event, don't forget to rush to New York at 9 am the day after tomorrow! Don't be late! ”

"LeBron, the PR team has spent millions to hire a water army, and try to recover your image loss on the Internet!"

"LeBron, where the hell are you hiding? Is your NBA or your family important? Does Brownie have a high fever, you know? ”

Calls from various parties, such as agents and wives, kept James awake even if he hid alone, but he still couldn't enjoy the cleanliness.

But what made him feel the most devastating was a phone call from a mysterious fan:

Usually fans don't know his private phone number, so if a fan calls, it must not be an ordinary person, and he definitely has a lot of connections and fame in the circle.

"LeBron, I'm Dennis, the owner of the Crown Bar in Miami's subterranean, I don't mean anything else to call you, although I'm not your fan, but I still hope you can fight for it as soon as possible, come on!"

"It's just a matter of looking for you, you tore Lin's jersey before, and I heard that you have collected it? I want to ask, it's inconvenient to sell, the price is easy to say, I'm not bad for money......"

James's mood was about to collapse in an instant, and before the other party could finish speaking, he hung up the phone viciously.

On the Nike side, Chairman Phil Knight was very disappointed with James' performance in the playoffs this year, and was even more ashamed of his behavior of tearing Lin Fei's jersey in the game.

The most important thing is that this guy is still a Nike jersey torn apart.

Could it be that Nike is going to publicly say that there is no problem with the quality of their jerseys, but James's power is too perverted?

For this alone, Nike Group has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to maintain its brand image and upgrade its after-sales service.

Before the start of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cavaliers and the Knicks, Phil Knight also had high hopes for James, believing that he has the ability to surpass and defeat Lin Fei.

But after the end of this series, and after Game 4 to be exact, Phil Knight had bowed to fate.

In this life, James may not be able to defeat Lin Fei's pervert.

After all, he was just a black high school student who came out of the slums, never went to college, and relied entirely on physical talent, and playing football was a better choice.

In the past two years, Kobe Bryant has also become a superstar second only to Lin Fei in the league in terms of popularity and influence, and his damaged image in the handsome incident has also quickly recovered.

Nike's development in basketball endorsement shoes is now the most relied on spokesperson, that is, Jordan and Kobe.

Seeing that the Celestial Empire sports brand has grown rapidly with the blessing of Lin Fei's influence, and its market value once exceeded 20 billion Celestial Empire coins, Phil Knight naturally couldn't sit still.

Since James can't beat Lin Fei, he can only seek new hope.

Now Nike has taken the initiative to find NCAA players Kevin Durant and Greg Oden, who are about to participate in the '07 draft, and the two are also the strongest contenders for the top pick.

At the same time, Nike also directly quoted Kevin Durant a 7-year super endorsement contract of 69 million US dollars, which is a sky-high price for a freshman student.

Because NCAA college players cannot sign any commercial contracts, and Durant, who has lived a poor life since childhood, will inevitably choose to participate in the draft after his freshman year, even for Nike's contract.

The Knicks led by Lin Fei swept the Cleveland Cavaliers 4:1 and became the first team to advance in the second round of the playoffs.

There are three sets of series left, and it can be said that the game is in full swing.

On the eastern side, the Miami Heat and the Warson Wizards fought six games, and the final score was tied 3:3, Wade played with an injury, and the strength of Ao Fat declined, which made the defending champion Heat no longer have enough advantages in the process of facing the Wizards.

The Wizards eliminated the first Pistons in the East in the first round, and the third Black Eight team in history was recognized by fans, so all members were full of fighting spirit and full of mental attributes.

In particular, "The General" Arenas continued his hot form in the first round of this series, and various unsolved jump shots made "The Flash" also feel a headache.

After six games in the series, Arenas was able to average 29.1 points per game, beating Wade's 26 points and a half, and it was a classic reappearance in the G5 Battle of Tianwang Mountain, hitting a winning three-pointer at the last moment, and turning around early to celebrate the domineering side leak.

If it was Wade, who was completely healthy, he would naturally not take the "Great General" in his eyes, but his back injury tormented him every night.

Under Pat Riley's strict coaching, Wade could only grit his teeth and stiffen, but in his heart, he missed the days of Lin Fei more and more.

In the West, the Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns also fought 6 games, and finally eliminated their opponents 4:2 and took the lead in advancing to the Western Conference finals.

This year's Suns have a full lineup, with Nash, Stoudemire and Marion all playing at an All-Star level, and Barbossa and Dio on the bench are even more wonderful.

But helplessly, the Timberwolves' lineup is still too perverted after all, with the gradual success of Ray Allen's run-in, the combination of the wolf king and Junzi Lei's inside and outside completely supports the Timberwolves' offense and defense.

Artest, Gerard Wallace, Wally Szebiak, which of these guys doesn't have All-Star strength?

In the 06-07 season of the original world, the Suns really had the strength to win the championship this year, and if it weren't for the Spurs' misdeeds by Robert Horry who led to the brawl in the Western Conference Finals, Stoudemire was banned, and the Cavaliers who reached the Finals that year might be the Suns.

But there is no if, and in this parallel world, under Lin Fei's butterfly effect, the sun is still a little unlucky after all.

Lin Fei's emergence in the 03-04 season to help the Timberwolves win the championship will, in a sense, change the landscape of the West for the next decade.

The elimination of the Suns in the semifinals caused some contradictions and conflicts in this originally united and harmonious team.

In particular, Stoudemire, who just signed the top salary with the team, as the team's scoring champion, is a star who has been selected for a while, and is already dissatisfied with the team's second-in-command status.

After all, Nash has only made the second team this season.

And the clash of possession between Stoudemire and Marion is also a headache for the Suns' management.

In the original world, the reason why the Suns sent Marion in exchange for O'Neal in the 07-08 season was because they wanted to upgrade their defense, and on the other hand, because the contradictions between Marion and Stoudemire were irreconcilable, and the team could only take the lesser of both worlds and send one of them away.

Suns fans with mixed feelings not only began to imagine at this time, if Lin Fei chose to join not the Knicks but their Suns last season,

With Lin Fei's current all-round dominance on the court, coupled with the Suns' originally stable and united lineup, what is the current Timberwolves?

This series between the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs is bound to be more intense, and the classic of the bull-horse battle continues.

After 6 games, with a big score of 3:3, it is inevitable to grab seven battles.

The battle between Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki, two top power forwards, has fans of both teams loved and hated.

The Mavericks, who won 73 in the regular season, plus were forced into a tie-break by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, and the greater controversy and pressure were naturally on the Mavericks' side.

And the Spurs traded for Vince Carter after the All-Star Weekend, successfully upgrading the team's offense, and as Carter and Duncan, Parker and others continue to run in,

The Spurs have also been revitalized, and the KDP combination has gradually become popular in the league.

In the end, with Tim Duncan's super play of 31 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks in the tie-break, plus Carter and Parker combined to cut 40+,

The Spurs dominated the game at the Dallas Mie International Route Arena, winning 108-104 against the Mavericks and successfully reaching the Western Conference Finals to meet the Timberwolves.

Nowitzki and Ginobili were both affected by injuries and worked hard all over the field, but in the end they were still short of a breath and could not defend the glory of 73 wins.

Last year's Bull and Horse War was also the Western Conference semifinals, and Nowitzki played against the sky to change his fate, eliminating the Spurs with 39 points and 15 rebounds in the seven-game battle.

And this year, under the leadership of Tim Duncan, the Spurs finally took revenge in the seven-game battle, and also left fans with a round of classic battles with endless aftertaste.

The 31-year-old Tim Duncan's regular season performance has slipped slightly, and the final regular season MVP list has also failed to make the top five, and the Spurs have fallen to the lowest record in the West in recent years.

But in the playoffs, Tim Duncan proved with excellent performances on both offensive and defensive ends that he is still the number one man in the league's power forward position, and his position is unassailable.

After the whole round of the playoffs, Tim Duncan averaged 31.2 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, and he could beat Dirk Nowitzki, who won the regular season MVP on both offensive and defensive ends.

Shi Fo proved with his factual performance that he had long been out of sight of the results and awards in the regular season.

Winning the regular season MVP in a row? He's not Tim Duncan hasn't done it.

It's just that poor Dallas Mavericks and Dirk Nowitzki, who broke history with 73 wins in the regular season, stopped in the second round of the playoffs.

This also made those fans who questioned the Mavericks' record and 73 wins stand up completely.

"I said earlier that the Mavericks' regular season record is too much water, and it has been stained with the benefits of the schedule, and the luck component is also very high, and there is no way to compare with the 72 wins of the Bulls that year, what is happening now? Fulfilled, right? ”

"Tim Duncan is still strong, to be honest, I feel that his historical status is above Ao Fat!"

"If Ao Fat hadn't followed Lin Fei and Wade to two more championships in the Heat, he wouldn't have been able to compare to Duncan's 2+2+2 just by virtue of his three consecutive championships with the Lakers!"

"Duncan's competitive state has every chance to win another championship, but O'Neal shouldn't have much of a chance!"

"Nowitzki is still a little short of the fire after all, and only two MVPs can blow, and in terms of playoff dominance, it is still not as good as Duncan and Garnett!"

"Don't brag about it, the Timberwolves have a luxurious lineup, right? Otherwise, you won't even be able to cross the sun level! ”

"Fans who say that Nowitzki is not as good as hard, do you watch the game or not? Did the Timberwolves have a bad roster in the Western Conference Finals last year? Didn't you get hammered by Nowitzki in the end? ”

"Nonsense, if Artest hadn't been banned for two games in the Western Conference Finals last year, how could the Mavericks win the Timberwolves?"

"Joke, is the Timberwolves Kevin Garnett's team or Ron Artest's team? You can't win a game without a role player, so what's there to quibble about? ”

"I'm rubbing, I just got the news that the Heat actually lost to the Wizards in the seven-game game, it seems that without Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal are not good!"

"In the end, it's still my Phineas, but Wade is mainly injured, otherwise Arenas wouldn't have had a chance to pretend to be forced!"

"Don't brag about Wade, if it weren't for Lin Fei, he would be at Anthony's level at best!"

The scolding battles on the Internet have come and gone, and the second round of the playoffs has also settled.

Eastern Conference Finals: New York Knicks vs. Warzenton Wizards.

Western Conference Finals: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. San Antonio Spurs.

On May 20, the NBA's 2007 Lottery draw ceremony was held in the high-level conference room of the NBA headquarters.

Under the subtle butterfly effect, the results of this year's lottery are also quite different from the original world.

The Seattle SuperSonics finished fourth from the bottom in the league and had a 12% chance of beating the Greens, Grizzlies and Bucks to win the 2007 No. 1 pick.

The Celtics won the lottery and general manager Danny Ainge accepted it when he saw it, which was not too disappointing after all.

After all, this year's top picks are all huge wealth, and the two geniuses of Greg Auden and Kevin Durant are bound to get one of them.

The Memphis Grizzlies picked the third pick, followed by the Portland Trail Blazers, Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks and New Jersey Nets with the Portland Trail Blazers, Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks and New Jersey Nets.

The 2007 draft was hailed as another big year after the 03 platinum generation, in addition to Greg Oden and Kevin Durant,

NCAA champion University of Florida, Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Corey Brewer will also participate in the draft.

Jeff Green, Mike Conley, Celestial Rising Star Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue are also confirmed to participate in this year's draft.

The Warson Wizards reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and there was no one happier than Lin Fei and his Knicks.

The Eastern dividends of the 06-07 season, Lin Fei and the Knicks really ate it.

Even if the wizards have the counterattack aura of the Black Eight Miracle, Lin Fei, who created the miracle of 35 seconds and 16 minutes, is destined to be a dimensionality reduction blow.

With Zach Randolph out of action, the Knicks still swept the Wizards 4-0 cleanly as they did in the regular season, won the Eastern Conference championship, and successfully reached the NBA Finals in the 06-07 season.

Under Lin Fei's top-level defense, "The Great General" Arenas averaged only 18.2 points per game in this round of the series, which was as much as 11 points lower than the average points per game against Wade in the semifinals.

After this round of the series, Lin Fei was also named the nemesis of "Agent 0" Arenas by the league.

Verizon Center Arena, Washington.

At the award ceremony of the Eastern Championship, Knicks owner James Dolan poured a bottle of 43-proof whiskey, ran to the podium with a red face, and took the Eastern Conference Championship trophy from Lin Fei.

took the initiative to add drama to himself, and shouted excitedly into the microphone handed by the ESPN beauty reporter:

"First of all, thank you Lin, he's a hero to the Knicks and all of New York! Without him, there would be no Knicks' Eastern Conference championship trophy! ”

"After 8 years, Lao Tzu's Nix is back again! This time, we must win! ”

This is the first time in eight years that the Knicks have reached the Finals after the 1999 NBA Finals.

From the bottom of the East last season to the finals this season, the Knicks have completed one of the most gorgeous turns in NBA history, and the new MVP Lin Fei has made great contributions.

However, all the major media and professional commentators in the league are not optimistic that Lin Fei's Knicks can win the championship in the finals.

Even though the Timberwolves and Spurs are still indistinguishable in the Western Conference Finals, in the latest ESPN professional data analysis, the probability of the Knicks winning the championship is only 19%.

At the same time, this is also the fourth consecutive year that Lin Fei has reached the NBA Finals, and he has played on three different teams, which has also created a unique history in the NBA.

The next day, Lin Fei returned to New York with his teammates from Warshengton, because the Western Conference finals are currently tied 2-2 after four games, so the Knicks will have at least a week's rest.

The triumphant James Dolan is in the mood for millions of dollars to organize a team-building vacation for Knicks players and coaching staff members to target Little St. James' Island in the Caribbean.

Several veteran drivers in the squad have long been familiar with SQ tourism on Little St James's Island, and Zach Randolph is extremely excited.

Lin Fei was not familiar with the name Little St. James's Island, but when he heard Randolph say that the owner of this island was Epstein, his sensitive nerves suddenly trembled.

"Mr. Dolan, I won't go to this kind of place, and I advise everyone not to go!" (End of chapter)
