Vol 2 Chapter 372: Draft lottery and division finals!

Friday, May 18, 2007, the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Accompanied by a whistle from the current referee Bavitar.
The tiebreaker between the second East Detroit Pistons and the third East Washington Wizards ended.
110 to 108.
With Arenas' crazy 51 points, the Washington Wizards defeated the Detroit Pistons away and became the last team to advance to the division finals.
In this round of extreme offensive and extreme defensive teams, the offensive team laughed last.
With the piston out.
The Eastern Conference also ended the situation dominated by the Pistons after 2002.
Since 2002, the Detroit Pistons have been in the top two in the regular season for each season, and can also reach the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs.
Stable is scary, and powerful is scary.
In the past five years, the West is strong and the East is weak. The Pistons are even the only Eastern team in the Western Conference.
In the past five years, the Pistons are the only face of the Eastern team!
During these five years, the Pistons also won one of the only two championships for the East.
And it is not the same as the controversial Heat defeating the Mavericks.
The Pistons who defeated the F4 Lakers in 2004 have no controversy, and some only have praise and respect.
Now, this is the most respected Eastern team in the past five years.
At the beginning of the season, Ben Wallace's departure had long foretold that the Pistons should have reached the curtain call.
The era of the Detroit Five Tigers, which used to suffocate everything, is now really over.
It was the Washington Wizards who ended the Pistons' rule, Arenas.
And their opponent in the Eastern Conference finals is the new ruler of the East, the Boston Celtics who advanced early!
The first game between the Boston Celtics and the Washington Wizards took place on May 21, 2007.
The Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards in the Eastern Conference finals are a very attractive set of matchups.
The Boston Celtics have the three giants Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen.
The Washington Wizards have the three-headed monsters of Arenas, Caron Butler and Antoine Jamison.
After the Celtics and Wizards matchup was released, experts across the United States quickly predicted this set of matchups.
The Wizards are the big dark horses in the east this year.
Last year's playoffs Wizards were controversially defeated by the Cavaliers led by James.
After making a comeback this year and reporting last year's revenge, it can be said that the better the fight.
Even the Wizards leader Arenas showed a very good defense in the playoffs.
Above-the-ball defense.
No-ball defense above first-class.
Coupled with Arenas's overbearing offensive and physical strength.
This year is the year of Arenas' transformation.
The one who only scores, and every time he has to assassinate others, has made other people's abrupt surprise in the playoffs this year. From the general to the marshal.
"Eastern Finals? Celtics? I only have one goal, the finals, Yes!"
This is what Arenas said in an interview with the media after a 51-point battle with the Pistons.
In this year's playoffs, every game is over, Arenas has to yell to Yes in this way.
At first no one took it seriously.
The Wizards do n’t say it first.
The opponent on the other side of the supersonic first round was the Mavericks considered a historical team before the start of the playoffs!
The supersonic speed of the God TM meets the Wizards Finals.
Don't make such an international joke, OK?
But now, when Arenas once again shouted this domineeringly.
None of the reporters present showed a disdainful look on his face.
Because, when Arenas shouted this sentence again, his foot had already entered the division finals, and further, it was really the finals!
Arenas was not the first person to yell at Yes after the semifinals of the first division.
Not the first, not the second, not the third, nor the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh ...
The last time I spoke to Yes was not a person, but a team, a team whose entire destiny changed because of Yes!
The same team that was changed by Yes.
Arenas was also changed by Yes.
In this year's playoffs, if Yes is the best player in the West.
Then Alias ​​is the best player in the East.
The completed transformation of Arenas is almost invincible across the eastern defender line.
In addition, teammates have the help of two very good offensive players, Jamison and Butler.
Even a defensive team like the Pistons can't hold him.
Yes entered the playoffs and scored 30+ in nine consecutive games.
After entering the playoffs, Arenas has scored 20+ points in 12 consecutive games!
After the yelling of Arenas in this year's playoffs, the world now knows that Arenas has changed so much in this year's playoffs because of Yes.
"Yes was the first person in the NBA that I couldn't beat with an offensive attack. Kobe couldn't do that!"
"In the face of Kobe, I can use his offensive to beat him. In these few seasons, I don't think I have any game as good as Kobe!"
"But facing Yes, I found that no matter how I attacked, it was useless. I need to stop his attack!"
"I didn't say that Kobe is inferior to Yes. I just tell you that if I want to beat Yes, I need to make tremendous efforts and changes. I will work harder and change than before!"
"Now, I tell you, I did it!"
Arenas is the league's most famous effort maniac.
After confirming that Yes is the target of defeat, and found that it is impossible to defeat Yes by attack alone.
Arenas practiced defensively without the ball in order to prevent the off-ball Yes.
In order to prevent the ball from having the full power of Yes and the strongest Yes, and crazy practice ball defense.
This is a journey that is extremely difficult to listen to.
Finally, no one knows whether Arenas can meet Yes in the finals.
No one knows whether Arenas can prevent the off-ball Yes or the off-ball Yes now.
But Arenas did practice himself as a bug on the Eastern Guard Line!
The Arenas bug doesn't even seem to be solved by the Boston Celtics.
If it is a contest between the Washington Wizards and the Boston Celtics of the Big Three before the season.
Expert fans will definitely believe that the Celtics can win.
But now, due to the variable Arenas, the series matchup has become less clear, and at the same time it looks good.
Of course, although the series between the Boston Celtics and the Washington Wizards is very interesting, but after the division finals came out.
Everyone's focus was on the Western Conference finals, the Supersonics and the Suns.
The first game between Seattle Supersonics and Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals was May 20, 2007.
Neither the Supersonics nor the Suns had a tiebreaker, so the Western Conference finals had a day ahead of the Eastern Conference finals.
The Western Conference finals of the Supersonics and the Suns are certainly not so striking because this series is more intense than the Eastern Conference.
The supersonic and Suns matchups are not as intense as expected in the East.
After the Sun and the supersonic matchup came out, the experts stood on the side of the sun, and the fans stood on the side of the supersonic.
"I support Yes, I always support Yes, but as an expert invited by TNT, I need to be responsible for my profession. I really can't find a reason to beat the Sun at supersonic speed. Sorry, Sun will advance in 4 games!"
"I think the Sun is stronger. After watching the Sun and Rocket series, I really do n’t know how to win the Sun at supersonic speed. Maybe as those experts said, it is difficult for the Supersonic to win the Sun. , The sun does not have a soft egg such as Nowitzki, nor does the Spurs ’broken group of classic cars let Yes gallop, supersonic facing the sun, is the most difficult matchup, if you let me choose, I would rather choose the rocket, supersonic There is really no chance of hitting the sun. I know all this, but I support supersonic speed. I support Yes. He is my faith! "
What do you think about the supersonic and Suns duel?
This is the most representative speech for experts and fans.
After the division finals came out, all the eyes of the United States focused on this.
until……
May 19, 2007.
Before leaving for Phoenix at supersonic speed, Yees, Old Nelson and Prestige, the general manager of the team, are now watching the TV not far from the general manager's office.
The lottery ceremony of the 2007 NBA Draft is now on TV.
As a team that still stays in the playoffs, such a draft lottery had nothing to do with them.
But now, they have a first-round draft pick from the Milwaukee Bucks.
19.9% ​​of the No. 1 picks, 18.8 of the No. 1 spot, 17.1% of the prospects, 31.9 of the fourth chance, 12.3 of the fifth chance
Best champion, worst fifth.
Now that the Supersonics are still in the playoffs, the lottery representatives will certainly not be the players like them.
Representing the Supersonics draw was the former general manager of the team, the current president Rick Sand.
Rick Sand, who traveled to New York, brought the expectations of the entire Seattle.
Expect to bring Oden back.
"The team that won the fifth overall pick in 2007 is Portland Trail Blazers!"
In the top four!
"The team that won the fourth overall pick in 2007 is the Minnesota Timberwolves!"
In the top three!
"The team that won the third overall pick in 2007 is the Atlanta Hawks!"
Enter the top two!
"The team that won the second overall pick in 2007 is ..."
Yesi quietly watched David Stern deliberately create suspense on TV.
Indifferent ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But ...
Yes can feel how nervous the old Nelson and Presti around him.
"The team that won the second overall pick in 2007 was ... the Milwaukee Bucks!"
When David Stern pronounced the name of the Bucks, Yees clearly felt the sighs of old Nelson and Presti around him.
There is also the fleeting smile of David Stern on TV.
Almost at the same time.
Oden, who was sitting under the stage in the draft lottery, was covered in a circle.
The draw on behalf of the Grizzlies on stage, the expression on the face of Paul Gasol, who was recently clamoring to go, was extremely embarrassing.
The American media wailed.
Only Jerry West is laughing ...
