Chapter 100: Mr. Key

As the 06-07 playoffs are in full swing, major awards have also surfaced.

The best coach that is closely related to Wang Tomorrow was finally awarded to Sam Mitchell, the head coach of the Raptors.

This award was announced in the first round of the game, and it was controversial at the time that the Raptors were swept by the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs.

But throughout the regular season, the Raptors have had a very good season this season.

Mitchell brought the Raptors to the Atlantic Division championship, and their 47-win record also equaled the record for most regular-season wins in a single season in Raptors history, and 20 more than last season, which is the most improved record for a team in the league this season.

In comparison, although the 76ers are hot, they were also ninth in the East last season, with 38 wins, and only moved up three places this season, winning seven more games.

As a result, Mitchell is undisputed as the first coach in Raptors history to win Coach of the Year.

Wang Mingming ranked second in the best coaching table.

He was followed by Sloan for the Jazz, Avery Johnson for the Mavericks, and Jeff Van Gundy for the Rockets.

Avery Johnson led the team to the best record in history, but because he had already won the best coach last year, it was clear that he had suffered a bit in the selection.

Among the 76ers, who also ranked second in the best award, Paul Millsap also finished second.

In the Rookie of the Year selection, Paul Millsap surpassed the Raptors' No. 1 in second place, below the Trail Blazers' Blanton Roy.

Roy had excellent regular season stats, averaging 16.8 points and 4.0 assists per game, leading any rookie in scoring and assists. In addition, Roy's other statistics are also outstanding among rookies, ranking second in rookies with 1.18 steals per game, seventh in rookies with 4.4 rebounds, third in rookies in 83.8% free throw shooting, sixth in rookies in three-point shooting percentage of 37.7%, and sixth in rookie shooting percentage of 45.6%.

Regardless of the playoffs, Roy is the undisputed rookie of the year, and if you count the playoffs, Paul Millsap, who shines, can also pose a certain threat to him.

Both of them finished second in the rankings, much to the displeasure of Philadelphia fans.

"This is blatant discrimination!"

In addition to these two awards, the 76ers have no other awards.

Including Best Manager, Most Valuable Player, Most Improved Player, Best Sixth Man, and more.

The only thing to celebrate is Allen Iverson's return to the All-Round First Team.

Last year, Iverson's stats exploded, but the team's record was poor, and in the final selection of the best team, Allen Iverson was only selected for three of the best teams.

This year, Iverson's stats are still good, his efficiency has improved, and the team's record is good.

Managed to defeat Kobe Bryant, who also had beautiful stats but a slightly worse record.

Iverson and Steve Nash were paired up in the backcourt for the Team of the Year, Tim Duncan and Nowitzki were the forwards and Stoudemire was the center.

Second team: Maddy, Kobe, James, Bosh and Yao Ming.

Three: Billups, Arenas, Anthony, Garnett and Howard.

Yao Ming has only played 55 games, which is better than Stoudemire in terms of statistics, but he is no match for other people's full attendance. By the same token, Dwyane Wade, who averaged 27.4 points per game, only played 51 games due to injury and was squeezed out of the All-NBA team.

In the All-Defensive Team, the 76ers were not selected.

Therefore, Iverson was selected for the All-Star team for a while, which is the only honor for the 76ers.

........

East Final, G3 Battle.

The two teams entered the final quarter of the game.

The piston bucket array, the more effective it is when the physical strength is consumed a lot.

Either Iverson was not allowed to receive the ball, or Iverson broke through and encountered various packs, which made Iverson also have some mistakes at this stage.

Wang Mingming's brows furrowed, this is inevitable, it can only depend on the player's own adjustment.

He can't, and Iverson is replaced at this time.

The two teams fought anxiously until the last moment.

Then there is the individual performance of the stars, and some of the tactics arranged by the coach can be 100% executed, very few.

"Focus on Billups!"

Wang Mingming's eyelids jumped, I don't know, why, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Although the Pistons shoot the most accurate shot and the biggest offensive threat is Rasheed Wallace, it is generally Billups who handles the key ball.

No matter how iron Billups is, he is really not soft at the critical moment.

After a timeout, Billups hit a key three-pointer with 34.8 seconds!

With the help of this three-pointer, the Pistons suddenly overtook the score by 2 points and led the 76ers 93-91.

Subsequently, the 76ers missed the attack.

The piston consumes all the time.

The 76ers have 3.9 seconds left to attack.

Iverson singled on the flank, swayed, moved to near the top of the arc, shot, and dropped back in his signature style.

The ball arcs in the air and hollows into the net.

Big two-point shot, tie!

The two sides went into extra time.

The Wajovia Center arena was in a state of boil, and although it was desperate for the 76ers to win right away, it was possible to see the overtime, and the ticket was also earned.

It's too strong!

Wang will be excited to see it tomorrow, and going into overtime will be beneficial to the 76ers.

Because of the excessive physical confrontation of the Pistons, some players have reached a critical point in the number of fouls, such as Chris Webber with five fouls on his back, so Sanders will put Mark Hill on the center position.

Mark Hill is a weakened version of the Big Book, with different features than Chris Webb.

In overtime, Billups failed to repeat the magic.

The 76ers played a 10-4 attack wave in the roar of the fans in the whole court, and finally won the key G3 battle 103-97!

The fans roared and celebrated the victory.

At this time, the Pistons have been pushed to the edge of the cliff with one foot, falling behind 1-2, if they can't win the 76ers in the next game, it will be 1-3 behind, and in the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of series that have fallen behind 1-3 and finally turned the tables.

........

At this time, the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs and the Rockets.

Although the Rockets have made great progress this season, they can also wrestle with the Spurs in positional battles.

But the Spurs are obviously more experienced, and the Rockets duo, whether it is Maddie or Yao Ming, are the first brothers in the Western Finals, and the Rockets have not won a single of the two away games for the Spurs.

Straight down 0-2 to Spurs.

The Rockets used to be 2-0 and started the first series behind by 2 games, and fans were very worried.

Maddie said in an interview with the media that the Spurs' home court is very tough, but the Rockets' home court is not easy to mess with.

"We're going to get all of our home wins and then try to get one win against Spurs and get to the Finals."
