NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Against the backdrop of the entire Internet worshiping Lin Fei's 35 seconds and 16 minutes miracle, James' ruthless act of tearing up his jersey was also parodied many times by Internet celebrities among fans, and the Little Emperor's reputation has been declining.

As early as last summer's offseason, James had already signed a four-year, $4 million maximum salary contract with the Cavaliers. Originally, James could have signed a five-year, $6000 million contract like Anthony.

But in the end, James and his economic team chose to only sign with the Cavaliers for four years. I don't know if there was a plan for this.

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

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

Originally, James' performance in leading the team in this year's Eastern Conference semifinals was quite satisfactory to Gilbert. After all, after he took over the Cavaliers, the team's record has gotten better year after year.

But just because of James tearing up Lin Fei's jersey, he lost again and again in the public opinion of fans.

Both career prospects and off-field commercial value have been greatly affected.

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

After all, from the day he entered the league, James, who is extremely talented, has been placed high hopes by the Cavaliers and the entire league, and is considered to be the future star of the NBA.

But four seasons have passed, and reality has proven that James, the 03 No. pick, is not only unable to beat Lin Fei, but is even inferior to Wade. He still has a chance to become an MVP-level star in the future, but if he wants to be the number one player in the league, He was almost sentenced to death in advance.

Of course, it is not ruled out that James still has huge room for growth. After all, he is only 22 years old now. However, Lin Fei and Wade are also growing, and Anthony and Bosh are also catching up.

What's more, apart from the 03 rookies, among the peak-level players such as Kobe Bryant, Wolf King, Duncan and Driver, which one is not more successful than James?

The Cavaliers boss naturally knows that there are only a few superstars in the NBA today. Two slaps are enough to count them. Having James is already a huge blessing. Not every team can get legendary talents like Lin Fei and Duncan. .

But in the future, Gilbert will never let James' team interfere with the team's management and decision-making. As the team owner, he must have sufficient authority.

Following the incident where Lin Fei and James tore off his jersey at 35 seconds and 16 minutes, the sales of products endorsed by Lin Fei in various fields have significantly increased.

However, sales of the Nike signature basketball shoes endorsed by James have plummeted. On some online platforms, fans have even organized voluntary boycotts of Nike products and James' signature sneakers.

Of course, this is partly because James violated sportsmanship during the game, which damaged his personal image, and partly because the quality of Nike jerseys is not up to standard.

As the Cavaliers were eliminated, LeBron James, who ended the 06-07 season prematurely, also flew to Los Angeles, locked himself in a mansion in Beverly Hills, and refused all business activities.

"LeBron, you still have to attend this Nike event. Don't forget to get to New York at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow! Don't be late!"

"LeBron, the public relations team has spent millions on hiring trolls to help you restore your image on the Internet!"

"LeBron, where are you hiding? Which is more important, your NBA or your family? Do you know that Bronny has a high fever?"

The calls from various parties such as his agent and wife kept coming one after another, making it impossible for James to enjoy peace and quiet even if he was hiding alone.

But what made him collapse the most was the call from a mysterious fan:

Normally fans would not know his private phone number, so if a fan calls, he must be someone special and must have quite a lot of connections and fame in the circle.

"LeBron, I am Dennis, the owner of the underground Crown Bar in Miami. I have no other intention in calling you. Although I am not your fan, I still hope you can start fighting as soon as possible. Come on!"

"It's just a matter of looking for you. You tore Lin's jersey before. I heard that you have collected it? I want to ask if it's convenient for me to sell it. The price is easy to talk about. I'm not short of money..."

James was about to collapse emotionally in an instant, and hung up the phone viciously before the other party finished speaking.

As for Nike, Chairman Phil Knight is very disappointed with James’ performance in this year’s playoffs and is even more ashamed of his behavior of tearing up Lin Fei’s jersey during the game.

The most important thing is that what this guy tore up was a Nike jersey.

Is it possible that Nike wants to publicly state that there is no problem with the quality of their jerseys, but James' power is too abnormal?

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

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

But after the end of this series, specifically after the fourth game, Phil Knight had bowed to fate.

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

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

In the past two years, as Kobe led the Lakers to make continuous progress with a single core, he has also become a superstar in the league second only to Lin Fei in terms of popularity and influence. His personal image that was damaged in the handsome incident has also quickly recovered.

In the development of basketball endorsement shoes, Nike relies most on Jordan and Kobe as its spokespersons.

Seeing that the Tianchao Sports brand has grown rapidly with the influence of Lin Fei, and its market value once exceeded 200 billion Tianchao coins, Phil Knight naturally cannot sit still and wait for death.

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 will participate in the 07 draft. They are also the most powerful contenders for the No. pick.

At the same time, Nike also directly offered Kevin Durant a super endorsement contract worth 7 million US dollars over 6900 years. For a freshman, this contract is a sky-high price.

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

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

The remaining three series matches are in full swing.

In the East, the Miami Heat and the Washington Wizards battled for six games, and the final score was tied at 3:3. Wade played with an injury, and O'Brien's strength declined, which made the defending champion Heat face the Wizards. In the process, there is no longer enough advantage.

Because the Wizards eliminated the No. 1 Pistons in the Eastern Conference in the first round, they became the third black eight team in history to be recognized by the fans. Therefore, all members have high morale and full mental attributes.

Especially "General" Arenas continued his fiery form in the first round in this series. Various unsolvable jump shots gave the "Flash" a headache.

After six games in the series, Arenas averaged 29.1 points per game, beating Wade's 26 points by half. He also made a classic reappearance in the G5 Tianwangshan battle. He hit the winning three-pointer at the last moment and turned around in advance to celebrate his dominance. F.

If Wade was completely healthy, he would naturally not take "The General" seriously, but his back injury tortured him every night.

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

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

This year's Suns have a well-organized lineup. Nash, Stoudemire and Marion all play at an All-Star level, and Barbosa and Diaw on the bench are even more impressive.

But unfortunately, the Timberwolves' lineup is still too abnormal after all. With the gradual success of Ray Allen, the internal and external combination of the Wolf King and Gentleman Ray has completely supported the Timberwolves' offense and defense.

Artest, Gerald Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, which one of these guys doesn't have All-Star ability?

In the 06-07 season in the original world, the Suns really had the strength to win the championship that year. If it weren't for the Spurs' Robert Horry's misdeeds leading to Stoudemire's suspension after the brawl in the Western Conference Finals, that year would have been impossible. The one who reaches the finals and sweeps the Cavaliers may be the Suns.

But nothing is possible, and in this parallel world, under Lin Fei's butterfly effect, the sun is still unlucky after all.

Lin Fei came out of nowhere to help the Timberwolves win the championship in the 03-04 season. In a sense, it will change the pattern of the Western Conference in the next ten years.

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

Especially the "little bully" Stoudemire, who has just signed a maximum salary with the team. As the team's scoring leader and a first-team star, he is no longer satisfied with his status as the team's second boss.

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

The ball conflict between Stoudemire and Marion is also a headache for the Suns management.

In the original world, the reason why the Suns sent away 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 conflict between Marion and Stoudemire was irreconcilable, the team could only Whichever is the lesser of the two, send one of them away.

The Suns fans, who had mixed feelings, began to imagine at this time, what if Lin Fei had chosen to join the Suns instead of the Knicks last season.

So with Lin Fei's current all-around dominance on the court, coupled with the Suns' originally solid and united lineup, what does the current Timberwolves count?

This series between the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs is bound to be more intense, and the classic battle between cows and horses continues.

After 6 games, with a big score of 3:3, a tiebreaker was inevitable.

The rivalry between the two top power forwards, Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki, makes fans of both teams love to hate it. The Mavericks won 73 games in the regular season, and were forced into a tiebreaker by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Naturally, the greater controversy and pressure was on the side of the Mavericks.

The Spurs traded for Vince Carter after the All-Star Weekend and successfully upgraded the team's offense. As Carter continued to work with Duncan, Parker and others,

The Spurs have also gained new vitality, and the KDP combination has gradually become famous in the league.

In the end, thanks to Tim Duncan's 31 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks in the tiebreaker, coupled with Carter and Parker scoring 40+ points together,

The Spurs defeated the Mavericks 108:104 at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, successfully advancing to the Western Conference Finals and joining the Timberwolves.

Both Nowitzki and Ginobili were affected by injuries to a certain extent. They worked hard throughout the game, but in the end they were short of breath and failed to defend the glory of 73 wins.

Last year's Cowboys and Horses battle was also the Western Conference semifinals. Nowitzki's extraordinary performance changed his fate and defeated the Spurs in the tiebreaker with 39 points and 15 rebounds.

This year, the Spurs, under the leadership of Tim Duncan, finally achieved revenge in the seventh game, and once again left fans with a classic battle with endless aftertaste.

The 31-year-old Tim Duncan's performance in the regular season declined slightly this season, and he failed to enter the top five in the final regular season MVP list. The Spurs even fell to fourth place in the Western Conference, their lowest record in recent years.

But in the playoffs when the bayonet was red, Tim Duncan proved with his excellent performance on both offense and defense that he is still the number one power forward in the league, and his status is unshakable.

After the entire playoffs, Tim Duncan averaged 31.2 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. On both offense and defense, he can be said to have completely defeated Dirk Nowitzki, who has won the regular season MVP.

Shi Fo proved with his actual performance that he no longer paid attention to regular season records and awards.

Will he win the regular season MVP title again? It's not like Tim Duncan hasn't done it before.

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

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

"I have said before that the Mavericks' regular season record is too watery. They have benefited from the benefits of the schedule and are also very lucky. There is no way they can compare with the 72 wins of the Bulls. How is it now? Has it come true?"

"Tim Duncan is still strong. To be honest, I feel that his historical status is higher than that of O'Fat!"

"Had O'Pan not won two more championships with Lin Fei and Wade in the Heat, his three consecutive championships with the Lakers alone might not be as good as Duncan's 2+2+2!"

"Duncan has every chance of winning another championship in his competitive state, but O'Neal probably has no chance!"

"Nowitzki is still a little behind after all. He can only win two MVP awards. In terms of dominance in the playoffs, he is still not as good as Duncan and Garnett!"

"Stop bragging, the Timberwolves have a great lineup, right? Otherwise, they won't even be able to get past the Suns!"

"Why don't fans who say Nowitzki is not as good as a tough guy watch the game? Was the Timberwolves' lineup in last year's Western Conference finals bad? Wasn't it still beaten by Nowitzki in the end?"

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

"Joke, are the Timberwolves the team of Kevin Garnett or the team of Ron Artest? If you can't win the game without a role player, what else is there to quibble about?"

"Oh my god, I just got the news that the Heat actually lost to the Wizards in the tiebreaker. It seems that without Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal will not be so good!"

"In the end, my brother Fei is still awesome, but Wade is mainly injured, otherwise Arenas wouldn't have a chance to show off!"

"Stop bragging about Wade, if it weren't for Lin Fei, he would be at the level of Anthony at best!"

Debate wars broke out on the Internet, and the second round of the playoffs also settled.

Eastern Conference Finals: New York Knicks VS Washington Wizards.

Western Conference Finals: Minnesota Timberwolves VS San Antonio Spurs.

On May 5, the NBA's 20 lottery draw ceremony was held in the senior conference room of the NBA headquarters.

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

With the fourth-worst record in the league, the Seattle SuperSonics counterattacked the Celtics, Grizzlies and Bucks with a 12% probability, and finally won the 2007 No. pick.

The Celtics won the second pick, and general manager Danny Ainge gave up on the prospect, which is not too disappointing after all.

After all, the No. 2 picks this year are all huge wealth, and the two geniuses Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are bound to get one of them.

The Memphis Grizzlies won the third pick, followed by the 4th and 7th picks: 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,

The University of Florida, which won the NCAA championship, will also participate in the draft with Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Corey Brewer.

Jeff Green, Mike Conley, Chinese rising stars Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue are also confirmed to participate in this year's draft.

The Washington Wizards have reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and the happiest people are Lin Fei and his Knicks.

Lin Fei and the Knicks have truly taken advantage of the Eastern Conference bonus in the 06-07 season.

Even if the Wizards have the counterattack halo 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, the Knicks still performed like the regular season, sweeping the Wizards 4-0 cleanly, winning the Eastern Conference championship, and successfully reaching the NBA Finals in the 06-07 season.

Under Lin Fei's top defense, "General" Arenas averaged only 18.2 points per game in this series, which was a 11-point drop compared to his average score against Wade in the semifinals.

After this series, Lin Fei was also dubbed "Agent 0" Arenas' nemesis by the league.

Verizon Center, Washington.

At the Eastern Conference championship award ceremony, Knicks owner James Dolan drank a bottle of 43% whiskey, ran up to the podium with a red face, and took the Eastern Conference championship trophy from Lin Fei.

Taking the initiative to add drama to himself, he shouted excitedly into the microphone handed over by a beautiful ESPN reporter:

"First of all, I want to thank Lin, he is the hero of the Knicks and the entire New York! Without him, there would be no Eastern Conference championship trophy for the Knicks!"

"After 8 years, my Knicks are back! This time, we must win!"

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

From last season's bottom spot in the Eastern Conference to this season's Finals, the Knicks have completed one of the most spectacular turnarounds in NBA history, with new MVP Lin Fei taking the most credit.

However, all major media and professional commentators across 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 locked in the Western Conference finals, according to the latest ESPN professional data analysis, the Knicks' probability of winning is only 19%.

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

The next day, Lin Fei returned to New York from Washington with his Knicks teammates. Because the Western Conference finals were tied at 2:2 after four games, the Knicks would have at least a week's rest.

The proud James Dolan spent millions of dollars to organize a team-building vacation for Knicks players and coaching staff, with the goal being Little St. James Island in the Caribbean.

Several veterans on the team have long been familiar with the SQ tourism industry on Little St. James Island, and Zach Randolph was extremely excited.

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

"Mr. Dolan, I will not go to this kind of place, and I also advise everyone not to go!" (End of Chapter)
