Friday, May 18, 2007, Auburn Hills Palace.

Accompanied by a whistle from the referee on duty, Bavita.

The Detroit Pistons are second in the East and the Washington Wizards are third in the East.

110 to 108.

With Arenas' insane 51 points, the Washington Wizards defeated the Detroit Pistons on the road and became the last team to advance to the division finals.

In this round of the battle between the extreme offensive and extreme defensive teams, the attacking team laughed at the end.

With the pistons out.

The Eastern Conference also ended the 2002 reign of the Pistons.

Since 2002, the Detroit Pistons have been in the top two in the East in the regular season every season and have reached the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs.

Stability is terrifying, and strength is terrifying.

In the general atmosphere of five years of strong West and weak East, the Pistons are even the only Eastern team in the Western Conference to fear.

For the past five years, the Pistons have been the face of the Eastern Conference team almost alone!

During that five-year period, the Pistons also won one of only two championships in the East.

And it's not the same as the Heat's controversial championship over the Mavericks.

The Pistons who beat the F4 Lakers in 2004 had no controversy, only admiration and respect.

Now, the most respected Eastern team of the past five years is closed.

At the beginning of the season, Ben Wallace's departure had long indicated that it was time for the Pistons to come to an end.

The era of the Detroit Five, which once suffocated everything, is now really over.

It was the Washington Wizards who ended the Pistons' rule, it was 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 Washington Wizards was played on May 21, 2007.

The Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Washington Wizards are a very interesting matchup.

The Boston Celtics have the Big Three of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen.

The Washington Wizards have the triumvirate of Arenas, Caron Butler, and Antoine Jamison.

After the matchup between the Celtics and the Wizards was announced, experts across the United States were quick to make predictions for this matchup.

The Wizards are the big dark horses in the East this year.

After last year's playoff Wizards were controversially defeated by the James-led Cavaliers.

After making a comeback this year to avenge last year's one-shot revenge, it can be said that the better it gets.

Even Arenas, the Wizards' leading player, showed a very good defense in the playoffs.

Above-the-art ball-handling defense.

Top-notch off-the-ball defense.

Coupled with Arenas's already domineering offense and physical strength.

This year has been a year of transformation for Arenas.

Agent Zero, who can only score points and is ready to assassinate others at every turn, completely changed from a general to a marshal in this year's playoffs.

"Eastern Conference Finals? Celt? I have only one goal, the finals, yes! ”

That's what Arenas said in an interview with the media after scoring 51 points in the tiebreaker with the Pistons.

In this year's playoffs, at the end of every game, Arenas has to shout yes like this.

No one took it seriously at first.

Wizards don't talk about it yet.

On the other side, the superSonics will face the Mavericks in the first round before the playoffs begin!

The supersonic and Wizards of God TM meet in the Finals.

Don't make such international jokes, okay?

But now, when Arenas shouted it again.

None of the reporters present showed disdain on their faces.

Because, when Arenas shouted this sentence again, his feet had already stepped into the division finals, and if he went further, it would really be the finals!

Arenas wasn't the first person to shout Yes after the divisional semifinals.

Not the first, not the second, not the third, not the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh......

The last time I shouted at Yes was not a person, it was a team, a team whose entire fate changed because of Yes!

It's the same as the team whose fate was changed by Yes.

Arenas was also changed by Yes.

In this year's playoffs, Yes is the best player in the West.

Then Arias is the best player in the East.

Arenas, who has completed his metamorphosis, is nearly invincible in the entire Eastern Quarterback.

In addition, his teammates have the help of two very good offensive players, Jamison and Butler.

Even a team with a super strong defense like the Pistons can't hold him down.

Yes entered the playoffs with 30+ points in nine consecutive games.

And after Arenas entered the playoffs, he has scored 20+ points in 12 consecutive games!

After all the shouting about Arenas in this year's playoffs, the whole world now knows that Arenas has changed so much in this year's playoffs because of Yes.

"Yes is the first person in the NBA who I can't beat with just offense, and Kobe Bryant can't do that!"

"Against Kobe, I can beat him with my offense, and I don't think I've had any games that have been inferior to Kobe in these seasons!"

"But in the face of Yes, I found that no matter how much I attacked, it was useless, I needed to stop his attack!"

"I'm not saying Kobe is inferior to Yes, I'm just telling you guys that if I'm going to beat Yes, I need to make a huge effort and change, a bigger effort and change than before!"

"Now, I tell you, I did it!"

Arenas is the league's most famous hard worker.

After determining that Yes is the goal to defeat, it is discovered that Yes cannot be defeated by attacking alone.

In order to defend without the ball, Arenas practiced frantically defending without the ball.

In order to defend against the ball, Yes, all yes and the strongest Yes, and crazy practice holding the ball defense.

It's a journey that sounds like it's incredibly arduous.

In the end, no one knows if Arenas will be able to meet Yes in the finals.

Whether Arenas can now defend against the ball Yes or Yes with the ball, no one knows.

But Arenas did train himself to be a bug on the Eastern Defender lineback!

The Arenas bug doesn't even seem to be able to be solved by the Boston Celtics.

If it was a battle between the Washington Wizards and the Big Three Boston Celtics a season ago.

Expert fans will surely be one-sided that Celtic can win.

But now, because of the Arenas variable, the matchups in this series are not so clear, and at the same time look good.

Of course, while the Boston Celtics vs. Washington Wizards series was interesting, it came after the division finals matchup.

Everyone's focus is on the Western Conference Finals, this matchup between the SuperSonics and the Suns.

The first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Phoenix Suns was on May 20, 2007.

Neither the SuperSonics nor the Suns played a tie-break, so the Western Conference Finals were played a day earlier than the Eastern Conference Finals.

The SuperSonics and Suns' Western Conference Finals are so compelling, certainly not because the series is more intense than the Eastern Conference.

This matchup between the SuperSonics and the Suns is not expected to be as intense as it is in the East.

After the Western Conference matchup between the Suns and the Supersonic was released, the experts were one-sidedly on the side of the Suns, and the fans were one-sidedly on the side of the SuperSonics.

"I support Yes, I will always support Yes, but as an expert brought in by TNT, I need to be responsible for my profession, I really can't find a reason for the SuperSonics to beat the Suns, sorry, the Suns will advance with 4 games!"

"I think the strength of the Suns is stronger, after watching the series between the Sun and the Rocket, I really don't know how the supersonic can win the Sun, maybe just like those experts said, it is difficult for the supersonic to win the Sun, the Suns don't have a soft egg like Nowitzki, and there is no Spurs that group of broken classic cars to let Yes gallop, supersonic facing the Sun, is the most difficult matchup, if I had to choose, I would rather choose the rocket, supersonic against the Sun really doesn't have any chance, I know all this, but I support supersound, I support Yes, he is my faith! ”

What do you think of this showdown between the supersonic and the sun?

This is the statement that best represents the views of experts and fans.

After the divisional finals were released, all eyes were on it.

Until......

19 May 2007.

Before the SuperSonics left for Phoenix, Yes, Nelson Sr., and the team's general manager, Presti, were now in the team's general manager's office, watching the TV not far away.

The draw for the 2007 NBA Draft is now on television.

As a team that is still in the playoffs, such a draft lottery has nothing to do with them.

But now, they have a first-round pick from the Milwaukee Bucks.

19.9% of the top chances, 18.8% of the top spots, 17.1% of the flowers, 31.9 of the fourth, 12.3 of the fifth.

The best champion, the worst fifth.

Now that the SuperSonics are still in the playoffs, the draw will certainly not be represented by players like Yes.

Representing the SuperSonics draw was Rick Sander, the team's former general manager and current president who traded Yes.

Rick Sander traveled to New York with the anticipation of the whole of Seattle.

The anticipation of bringing Auden back.

"The team that got the 5th pick in the 2007 draft is the Portland Trail Blazers!"

It's in the top four!

"The team that got the 4th pick in the 2007 draft is the Minnesota Timberwolves!"

It's in the top three!

"The team that got the 3rd pick in the 2007 draft is, the Atlanta Hawks!"

It's in the top two!

"The team that got the 2007 second pick in the draft was ......"

Ye Si quietly looked at David Stern, who deliberately created suspense on TV.

Indifferent.

But......

Yes could feel how nervous Nelson and Presti were next to him.

"The team that got the 2007 second overall pick was ...... Milwaukee! ”

As David Stern read out the names of the Bucks, Yes clearly felt the sighs of old Nelson and Presti beside him.

And David Stern's fleeting smile on TV.

Almost at the same time.

Oden, who was sitting in the audience at the draft draw, looked blindfolded.

On stage, on behalf of the Grizzlies drew lots, Pau Gasol, who had recently been making a fuss about leaving, had an embarrassed expression on his face.

The media across the United States was in mourning.

Only Jerry West was laughing......
