On May 4, 2007, the first round of the 06-07 playoffs all eight sets of matchups were decided, in the East, except for the Pistons and Heat, the two difficult brothers and sisters fought for 6 games to determine the winner, the rest of the Pacers, Cavaliers, Nets three teams swept their respective opponents, easily advanced to the next round.

In addition to the Spurs who solved the Nuggets in only five games, the Lakers and Suns fought seven games with their respective opponents before they advanced thrillingly, and as for the Mavericks, who were the first in the West, they were directly blackened by the Warriors who were eighth in the West.

The old Nelson, who stepped down from the Mavericks, took over the Warriors who were rebuilding after a two-season break, and it was difficult for the Warriors to enter the playoffs this season, but the old Nelson had a teacher-student friendship with the Mavericks, and when the regular season was about to end, he first abused the Warriors' rival Clippers, and then released water in the game with the Warriors, and forcibly sent the Warriors to the playoffs.

As a victim, the Clippers were naturally unwilling to give up, and the Clippers owner publicly called David Stern, hoping that the league could investigate the "match-fixing" between the Mavericks and the Warriors, and Mike Dunwilly, who was the head coach of the Clippers at the time, cursed the Mavericks for their miserable defeat in the playoffs.

Perhaps it was Mike Dunwilly's curse that touched God, and the Mavericks, who met the Warriors in the playoffs, lost one home court as soon as they came up, and then lost two away games in a row, and finally lost the entire series with a score of 2-4, and the Warriors also became the third team in NBA history to stage the "Black Eight Miracle" in the playoffs.

After the Mavericks were blackened by the Warriors, there were sympathizers, mockers, and lamented that there was a reincarnation in heaven, and Dirk Nowitzki, as the boss of the Mavericks, naturally became the object of everyone's criticism, as the regular season MVP favorite Dirk Nowitzki, in the series with the Warriors, although he also handed over 19.7 points and 11.3 rebounds, Dirk Nowitzki's shooting rate was only 38%, and the three-point shooting rate was as low as an outrageous 20%. The title was pressed on Nowitzki's head.

In fact, to say that Nowitzki is also very wronged, after all, the old Nelson also coached Nowitzki for 7 seasons, and watched Nowitzki grow from a rookie to a superstar, so the old Nelson is very clear about every weakness of Nowitzki, even small habits, so in the series with the Warriors, Nowitzki was deliberately targeted by the old Nelson from beginning to end, in this case, it is really not easy for Nowitzki to make a difference, after Nowitzki was "abolished" by the old Nelson, it is not easy for the Mavericks to win two games.

However, when the NBA league announced the awards of this season's regular season on May 5, 2007, the news of the Mavericks being blacked out of sight gradually faded into plain sight.

The first to be announced was the Rookie of the Year and Rookie of the Year lineup, which was selected by the Timberwolves with the No. 6 pick in the first round. Brandon Roy, who was then traded to the Trail Blazers, was elected as the best rookie of the season with an average of 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game.

Compared with the expectations in the Rookie of the Year selection, this season's Best Defensive Player selection is not so convincing, and the final winner of the best defensive player of the season is neither Meng Xu, Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, who can support a team's defensive system alone, nor Bruce Bowen, Ron Artest These top wing defenders, but Marcus Camby, who has always had the title of "block brush", this title does not mean how bad Camby's defense is, It's a joke that Camby likes to block rather than defend his position.

In addition to the controversy caused by the selection of the best defensive player, the selection of the best head coach also caused a lot of controversy after the announcement, this season's best coach selection once again perfectly missed the teams with the best records, but was awarded to the head coach of the Toronto Raptors Sam Mitchell, because the selection of the best head coach has always been more biased towards those who have not won this award, so the best head coach is also privately called the rain and dew award, as long as a novice head coach who has just entered the league, If he can do a little bit of success and bring a fish belly to the playoffs, then he has a good chance of winning the best head coach of the season.

If last season's All-Team selection was just a season for the new generation of players to show their talents, then this season is a season in which they have fully entered the historical stage, Amare Stoudemire was selected for the All-Star team this season, LeBron James, Yao Ming, Gilbert Arenas was selected for the All-Star Second Team, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Dwayne Wade was selected for the All-Star three, maybe in the future, There will be more new generations of players who will squeeze out those veteran stars in the All-Star Team until they are replaced by younger players.

Compared to last season's best defensive team, this season's best defensive team only adds a new face to Raga Bell, if it weren't for Andrei Kirilenko's missed games due to injury, maybe this season's best defensive team would be the same as last season's best defensive team.

In addition to these major awards, Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns was voted the sixth man of the season, and the former "parallel trader" Darko Milicic became the winner of the Most Improved Award this season, Darko Milicic has played a total of 80 games for the Pacers this season, including 11 starts, and in an average of 25 minutes per game, Darko Milicic can contribute 13 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks. Compared to the average of 1.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.5 presumptions per game before joining the Pacers, it is a world of difference, and after an excellent performance this season, Darko Milicic has also gotten rid of the title of parallel trade list, and now when it comes to Darko Milicic, most people think of the Pistons and Larry Brown.

After all the awards were released one by one, as the most important award in the regular season, the regular season MVP was also announced at noon on the same day, after missing the regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons, Meng Xu finally won the fourth regular season MVP trophy in his career this season.

In the regular season MVP selection of the previous two seasons, because Meng Xu's record when he was crowned the regular season MVP for the third time was too terrifying, so for two consecutive seasons, Meng Xu missed the regular season MVP of the season when he won the best record in the regular season, and when the Pacers won 70 wins again this season, there was no reason for any judge to ignore Meng Xu in the selection of the regular season MVP.
