NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.

In the dpoy voting results subsequently announced by ESPN, Kevin Garnett's score was 259 points, while Lin Fei's score was 253 points, only two second votes away.

The result is highly similar to last season. As a defender less than two meters tall, Lin Fei has been running in the competition for the best defensive player for two consecutive seasons.

And the gap between him and Garnett, who won the DPOY title for the second time, is very small, which fully illustrates Lin Fei's defensive level at the forward and defensive lines.

Marcus Camby, who ranked third, only had 107 points, and the gap with Lin Fei and Garnett was very obvious.

In his previous life, Marcus Camby won the Defensive Player of the Year award in the 06-07 season due to his excellent blocking data. Facts have proved that he is also the most successful DPOY in the 21st century.

But in today's world, Garnett, who has a championship, and Lin Fei, who is the boss of the Knicks, obviously cannot compare to the defensive contributions of the team.

Different from voting for the regular season MVP, in addition to the media, the voting rights for the DPOY award also include the team executives and game day officials. The combined defensive strength and influence of the players seems to be more convincing.

In New York, in the training hall of Madison Square Garden, Lin Fei is training with his teammates.

"Mad, this year's dpoy is actually the guy who deserves a beating from Kevin. God knows how good Lin's defense is. Are the media blind?"

Stephon Marbury was the first to defend Lin Fei, but he didn't get angry when he mentioned his old teammate Garnett.

Eddie Curry completed a precise turning hook shot under the basket, gasped and raised his eyebrows:

"Lin doesn't care about dpoy, right Lin? Anyway, the regular season MVP will definitely be yours!"

Zach Randolph is also dissatisfied with Kevin Garnett. This guy's toughness is just an illusion.

"The best defensive player award for two consecutive years has been given to Kevin. The league definitely wants to support this guy, but it's a pity that he is far behind Lin and Dirk in the MVP competition, so he can only win dpoy!"

Lin Fei is naturally a little disappointed for not getting the dpoy. He does not think that his help to the team on the defensive end this season will be less than that of the "Wolf King".

"It doesn't matter. What we should be thinking about now is how to deal with LeBron's Cavaliers in the second round!"

However, Lin Fei also lamented that the championship in 04 really completely changed the fate of Garnett and the Timberwolves.

Now, thanks to Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor's continuous generous spending, the team has become a strong contender for the championship for three consecutive years, running neck and neck with the Mavericks, Spurs, and Suns in the Western Conference.

And Garnett has won two Defensive Player of the Year awards in a row, surpassing the original world in terms of personal honors.

You must know that Garnett in the original world, although he also had 10 All-Defensive First Team appearances, did not get the only DPOY in his career until he joined the Celtics in the 07-08 season.

After all, when selecting the best defensive player award, the team's record will also have a certain weight.

Now Garnett already has a regular season MVP, an FMVP, two DPOYs and a championship trophy in his hands, plus countless All-NBA teams and All-Stars.

His personal historical status has already far exceeded that of his previous life. Moreover, driven by the Timberwolves' pursuit of the championship, Garnett's personal influence and commercial value have also increased.

The butterfly effect brought about by Lin Fei's time travel in the past few years can be said to have the greatest positive impact on Kevin Garnett, followed by Wade and O'Neal, and then Marbury and Eddie Currie. inside.

Of course, looking in the opposite direction, players such as Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, and LeBron James were also suppressed to a certain extent during the same period, and their historical status was lowered due to Lin Fei's butterfly effect.

The NBA and the whole world are a huge connected machine, and one move affects the whole body.

Lin Fei failed to get the dpoy, which naturally made the fans feel very angry and unfair, but after all, the value of dpoy is far less than the regular season mvp. In the end, the result of the regular season mvp is what fans at home and abroad are most concerned about right now. things.

"It doesn't matter if I don't win the best defensive player, but the regular season MVP must be given to me Fei Ge, otherwise I will fly to New York with a watermelon knife and kill through the NBA headquarters!"

"Haha, the regular season MVP is voted by media reporters from all over the country, not the NBA headquarters has the final say!"

"Didn't you say that the NBA headquarters and David Stern are drafting a reform mechanism for the regular season MVP? Change it quickly. These media reporters have been targeting Lin Fei for two consecutive years!"

"Honestly, if it were Fei Ge's personal statistics and team performance, if it were in any other season, it would be possible to win the regular season mvp, or even a unanimous vote, but this season's Mavericks record is incredible, and Nowitzki's statistics Not bad at all! What a damn enemy!"

"To be honest, can the regular season MVP lay a double-yolked egg? This season is special after all? Lin Fei and Nowitzki share the MVP. There is nothing controversial about it, right?"

As the first round of the playoffs progresses, in addition to the Knicks and Timberwolves, two teams that swept their opponents and advanced in advance,

The Cleveland Cavaliers also eliminated the Chicago Bulls 4:1 and met the Knicks in the semifinals.

In this series, LeBron James averaged 29+7+8 per game, completely outplaying his opponent Luol Deng on both offense and defense. Ben Wallace was tough in the playoffs. Nor ceases to exist.

The Miami Heat, led by Wade and O'Neal, finally eliminated Chris Bosh's Raptors 4:2.

Although Wade's condition has obviously recovered after returning from injury, he is still not up to MVP level. In this series, he averaged only about 23 points per game.

Perhaps fans would never have thought before the start of the playoffs that among the four groups of matchups in the first round of the Eastern Conference, the most intense series would be the series between the Pistons and the Wizards.

After 6 games, the tenacious Wizards, led by "General" Arenas, Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison, even tied the Detroit Pistons 3:3, dragging them down to first place in the Eastern Conference. Entered the tiebreaker.

The situation in the Western Conference is even more complicated. In addition to the Suns eliminating the Utah Jazz 4:2, the series between the Spurs and the Lakers, the Mavericks and the Warriors have also been dragged into tiebreakers.

There were three tiebreakers in the first round of the playoffs, which really made many neutral fans happy, and league president David Stern was also happy.

You must know that the annual playoffs are a harvester of high-priced tickets and popular traffic. Every time the NBA plays an additional playoff game, the profits will be considerable.

The No. 1 team in the East and the No. 1 team in the West were simultaneously dragged into a tiebreaker by the No. 8 team in the East and West. This is something that has never happened in NBA history.

If the Pistons and Wizards reached a tiebreaker because Richard Hamilton was injured, that would indeed be understandable.

But the Dallas Mavericks, the league's No. 73 team, had just created a legendary -win team. When all members were healthy, they were dragged into the seventh game by the Golden State Warriors.

This really makes fans and experts confused.

Could it be that Dirk Nowitzki is really a white softie? Are the Dallas Mavericks really a regular season team that can't fight a tough battle?

After all, in the 82 games of the regular season, player data can be brushed, and the team record can also be brushed.

Although the current embarrassing encounter between the Mavericks and Nowitzki will not affect his competition for the regular season MVP,

But the Dallas Mavericks' myth of 73 wins can only remain in the discussion of the regular season, and has been questioned as having a huge amount of water.

That year, the Chicago Bulls won 72 wins, the best record in history, and they went through all the playoffs and successfully won the championship. Therefore, 72 wins will be said to be a good story.

But now, although the Mavericks have broken the 72-win mark, they encountered a tiebreaker in the first round of the playoffs. They lost a total of 82 games out of 9 in the regular season, and lost 6 games in just 3 games in the playoffs.

This situation will inevitably make fans complain and belittle it. If the Mavericks fail to win the championship this season, 73 wins may also become a joke and cannot be compared with the Bulls' 72-win season.

Lin Fei and the Knicks players naturally paid attention to the three tiebreakers in the first round, especially the Pistons vs. Wizards and the Mavericks vs. Warriors.

If the Wizards can eliminate the Pistons in the first round, it will naturally be a good thing for the Knicks. After all, they have maintained a complete victory record against the Wizards in the regular season.

As long as they get past LeBron James' Cavaliers in the second round, they can basically secure a spot in the finals.

If it were placed before the start of the season, who would have thought that the Knicks would be the team with the best chance of reaching the Finals in the Eastern Conference?

It's no wonder that in the original 06-07 season, James led the Cavaliers to the Finals. This season, the competition in the Eastern Conference is really full of benefits.

To exaggerate, the West is playing NBA, and the East is playing CBA...

In order to encourage the Wizards to overthrow the Pistons, the Knicks management and coaching staff all offered suggestions. Isaiah Thomas even secretly shared some of the experiences and tactics the team learned against the Pistons with Wizards coach Eddie Jordan. .

Marbury also personally called "General" Arenas to exchange some experiences and techniques on facing Chauncey Billups, and also shared Billups' weaknesses.

Although Richard Hamilton returned from injury in this tie-break, the mainstream media was not very optimistic.

Detroit, Auburn Hills Palace Arena.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the tiebreaker officially started.

Under the noise and shouts of the home Pistons fans, the Pistons went all out. Under the leadership of Billups, they quickly blasted a 9:2 wave and took the initiative.

However, after the timeout, the Wizards quickly found their form. "General" Arenas, who became more and more courageous in this series, began to show off his power.

First, he hit a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll on the outside, and then in a fast break, he broke through Hamilton in a misplaced position and made a layup to score 2+1.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

Arenas, who scored consecutively, shook his fist and roared, transforming into an away silencer.

After all, when Wade is injured in the All-Star Game, he is the starting point guard in the Eastern Conference, not Billups.

From the perspective of the Eastern Conference this season, with Wade being affected by injuries, in addition to Lin Fei and James, the third person is Gilbert Arenas.

Facing Billups, Arenas is slightly inferior in physical confrontation, but he has a clear advantage in explosive power and speed. When his hand is hot, his scoring explosiveness is far superior to Billups.

In the first six games of this series, Arenas averaged 29.7 points per game, which was even more efficient than the regular season.

Although in the original world, in the first round of the playoffs of the 06-07 season, the Wizards were completely swept by James' Cavaliers 0:4, and James was also regarded as the general's nemesis.

But after all, the Cavaliers were the team that reached the finals that year, and they didn't even stop the Pistons. Now that the Wizards are facing the Pistons and are in the tiebreaker, it is the icing on the cake for the team's self-confidence and unity. Black Eight's will is encouraging them. Every player on the Wizards.

In the end, with Arenas scoring 32 points and Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison also scoring 20+ points, the Wizards scored 80 points together and narrowly defeated the Pistons 106:103 on the road. , advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

This also makes the Washington Wizards the first team to win the title since the Denver Nuggets defeated the Seattle SuperSonics 1993:1994 in the 3-2 season.

After the New York Knicks defeated the Miami Heat 1998:1999 in the 3-2 season, it was the third black eight miracle in NBA history.

It was also the first black eight miracle after the first round of the NBA playoffs was changed to a best-of-seven game system.

Hamilton's injury, coupled with Rasheed Wallace's poor shooting percentage of 13-for-3 from the field, and the sluggishness of the substitute players, became the main reasons for the Pistons' final loss.

After the Pistons were eliminated in the first round, general manager Joe Dumars also learned from the experience and reluctantly launched a reconstruction plan in the offseason.

Flip Saunders, who has coached the Detroit Pistons for only one season, is now in danger of being fired.

Any Pistons player, including Billups, has become a trading chip for the Pistons.

"Oh my God, the Wizards actually beat the Pistons, and Billups was beaten by Arenas?"

"It's perfect. Now the only obstacle for Lin Fei and the Knicks to reach the finals is the Cavaliers!"

"Fei Ge has continuously defeated LeBron James in the regular season. In this series, we can only play 6 games at most!"

"Are the Pistons' five tigers going to completely disintegrate? It seems they will take the Pacers' back path!"

"Basically, the core lineup remains the same. We were able to reach the Finals in 04. We were blocked by the Heat from the Finals in 05 and 06. This year, we were defeated in the first round. It seems like there really is no future. Got it!"

"It wouldn't be funny if the Pistons were hacked, but it would be a big joke if the Mavericks were hacked too!"

But in the end, the joke that fans expected did not happen. Now with Jason Kidd, a veteran, in charge, the Mavericks also passed the test in the tiebreaker, and finally defeated the Warriors 109:98 and entered the season. Second round of playoffs.

Although they were not beaten, the Mavericks were seriously injured after the tiebreaker. Ginobili and Nowitzki were both affected by injuries.

The Spurs defeated Kobe Bryant and Dayao's Lakers in the tiebreaker and also entered the playoffs, meeting the Mavericks in the second round.

Although Kobe scored 36 points on Carter, Carter responded with 25 points to Kobe.

大姚的21分10篮板，终究还是没能抵得过邓肯的27分14篮板3封盖，更何况帕克的22分还完爆了费舍尔。

In the first season of the Yao-Ke team with the Lakers, although they failed to make it to the second round of the playoffs, they showed considerable potential and the future is promising.

After all, the competition in the Western Conference this year is really fierce. If this Lakers team is placed in the Eastern Conference, it will not be a big problem to get first place.

With the first round of the playoffs over, the 16 teams have been eliminated to 8. The four-group showdown in the second round has attracted the expectations of countless fans.

NBA officials also officially announced the best lineup for the 06-07 season during this period, before the regular season MVP:

First team:

Lin Fei, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Amare Stoudemire.

Second team:

Steve Nash, Gilbert Arenas, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Tim Duncan.

Third team:

Chauncey Billups, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Dayao.

All-Defensive First Team:

Raja Bell, Lin Fei, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett, Marcus Camby.

All-Defensive Second Team:

Kirk Hinrich, Kobe Bryant, Tayshaun Prince, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace.

Lin Fei and Kevin Garnett, two former teammates, also became the only two superstars selected to the double first team in the 06-07 season.

This is also the third consecutive year that Lin Fei has been selected for the double team of the season. His offensive and defensive capabilities are both top-notch, and he can steadily cover half of the peak of Kobe Bryant.
