Chapter 203 203. Regular Season MVP: Sweep again;
At the same time, there is no suspense about the best defensive player this year.

Timberwolves center Ben Wallace once again won the best defensive player with a nearly crushing attitude, becoming the center who has been elected the most DPOY times in the active league.

Ben Wallace's data doesn't look shocking, and being selected for the best team may be accompanied by some objections, but Ben Wallace's selection of the best defensive player is well deserved.

No one can pick a problem at this point.

This year, Wallace's biggest opponent for the best defensive player is not Marcus Camby, but his teammate Artest.

本赛季阿泰斯特场均能贡献16.3分7.4篮板2.7助攻2.1抢断以及1.6次封盖，是联盟锋线防守最出色的球员。

If it weren't for Ben Wallace who was also in the Timberwolves, and Ben Wallace's role on the field was only defense, Artest would have won the second DPOY of his career.

It's a pity that Daben was his teammate during the game, which made Artest feel good, but when it came time to run for DPOY, Artest felt that Daben was his teammate.

In addition, there is no suspense about the best rookie of the year.

Brandon Roy of the Trail Blazers was elected with a comprehensive data of 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

There are not many players who really shine in this year's draft, and Brandon Roy is obviously the Phoenix standing in the flock.

Brandon Roy's offensive skills can be described as rich, and his confidence on the court makes people see the next Kobe.

"Famous mouth" Kenny Smith even bluntly praised: "Brandon will be the next shooting guard who can dominate the league."

As for Paul Millsap, he was successfully selected to the best rookie team. Although there is not much gold content, it still makes Millsap excited.

As for the best sixth man, Iguodala, who originally averaged 12.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, should be the most popular candidate, but "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa began to exert his strength later in the season.

最终以场均18.1分2.7篮板4助攻以及1.2次抢断完成逆袭，成功当选为06—07赛季的最佳第六人。

In addition, this year's best coach is also extremely fierce.

Since Luke's team leadership record this season has declined compared to last season, Luke also took a break and simply sat on the sidelines and watched Mitchell and Johnson fight with each other.

These two coaches led the Raptors to a full 20 wins, from the bottom team in the East to the top four in the East.

No matter who can lead the Dallas Mavericks, who are already powerful in the West, to counterattack the Timberwolves and become the league's number one, the fans will not be surprised. At most, they will only feel sorry for another coach.

In the end, Mitchell, who led the Raptors to 20 wins, took advantage of the rules and defeated "Little General" Johnson with a weak first vote. He was elected as the best coach for the first time in his career.

Sam Mitchell is only 44 years old this year, and he is definitely young in the coaching industry.

Just when the outside world believed that another young coach in the league was about to rise, Luke was quite disdainful of Sam Mitchell's election.

Mitchell's coaching ability is so mediocre, even in Luke's view, he can't get on the stage at all. Mitchell's election as the best coach this season has a lot of luck.

In fact, this season is the first time in Mitchell's coaching career that the team's winning percentage is higher than 50%, and it is also one of the few times in his entire coaching career.

The selection of the best coach does require some luck. The overall strength of the Eastern Conference this year is obviously far lower than that of the Western Conference. In the long 82 regular season games, the number of matches between the Eastern Conference and the Eastern Conference is also greater than that of the Western Conference.

This gives the Eastern Conference coaches an advantage in the selection of the best coaches this year, but competitive sports are like this, and it is impossible to be truly fair at any time.

In the end, the regular season MVP with the highest gold content also did not exceed the expectations of the fans.

Timberwolves guard Allen Iverson overwhelmed Dirk Nowitzki with more than [-]% of the first votes, and was elected as the regular season MVP for the second time in his career.

Become the 12th player in NBA history to win the regular season MVP multiple times.

At the same time, besides the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, the second player who won at least two regular season MVPs as a shooting guard.

When he learned that he was elected as the regular season MVP again in his career, Iverson just smiled at Luke.

Needless to say the joyful mood, but right now there are more important things waiting for Iverson to do.

With the 3:0 Nuggets holding the match point in the western semifinals, Iverson is getting closer and closer to the first championship trophy in his career.

Compared to becoming the regular season MVP again, Iverson is looking forward to the challenges he will face next.

Iverson doesn't know if he can get what he wants this season, but Iverson, who is obviously much more mature, is working hard for his first championship ring in his career.

This season, Kevin Garnett's salary of 2100 million ranks first in the league, and Iverson's salary of 1700 million ranks eighth in the league.

The combination of the two is only about 500 million US dollars less than the overall salary of the Bobcats. If Iverson cannot win the championship this season, there is a high probability that Iverson will become the "uncrowned king".

…………

On May 5, the fourth game of the Timberwolves-Nuggets series officially kicked off.

The Nuggets were pushed to the edge of a cliff in this game. At present, the Nuggets no longer want to counterattack the Timberwolves' upset promotion, but just want to refuse to sweep in this round of the series.

As soon as the game came up, Anthony and Nehbar had a strong desire to attack. It seemed that they really didn't want to be swept out by the Timberwolves at home.

Facing Artest's defense, Anthony changed his normal routine and no longer avoided playing against Artest like in the previous three games. Instead, he frequently used his body to actively seek confrontation, trying to use this method to ask the referee for some help. penalty.

Anthony's back-and-forth style of play did play a role. At the end of the game, Artest had four fouls on his back. He seemed timid on the defensive end and did not dare to make too many defensive moves.

Before the three quarters were over, Artest left the game with six fouls for the first time in this round of the series.

At the same time that Artest made six fouls, the Nuggets were booed overwhelmingly at home.

Obviously, Artest caused a lot of trouble for Anthony in this round of the series. In the eyes of Nuggets fans, Artest is really too annoying.

However, the Nuggets obviously underestimated the Timberwolves' determination to win this game.

After Artest went off the court, Gerald Wallace filled the defensive position for the first time, and once again launched a hand-to-hand confrontation with Anthony.

Although Gerald Wallace's defensive ability is indeed slightly inferior to that of Artest, Gerald Wallace's selection of the best defensive team is enough to prove that Wallace is difficult.

Throughout the second half, Wallace stuck close to Anthony on the defensive end with a desperate attitude. Even if he sacrificed his physical strength on the offensive end, he would get Anthony into trouble on the offensive end.

With the wheel defense of Artest and Gerald Wallace, Anthony's physical strength was obviously lost. After all, he encountered two consecutive defensive players in a game, and Anthony couldn't stand this kind of matchup.

After his stamina declined in the fourth quarter, Anthony made [-] of [-] shots and failed to score a point. He could only watch the Timberwolves increase their lead.

Until the end of the game, after the regular season MVP Iverson made a shot from inside and outside, the Nuggets regretted losing the home court and could only accept the fact that they were swept out by the Timberwolves.

After defeating the Denver Nuggets, the Timberwolves became the first team in the league to enter the conference finals.

The opponent of the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals will be the winner between the Rockets and the Warriors.

The Rockets are currently leading the Warriors 2:1, and the series has the upper hand for the time being.

However, the Golden State Warriors led by the old Nelson can be described as a gang of gangsters. No one knows which game the Warriors will suddenly go crazy.

Although the Rockets have a more balanced offensive and defensive lineup and a more reasonable lineup, even Luke can't be sure who will have the last laugh.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves will have a long period of rest. During this time, the Timberwolves can prepare for many things.

It is foreseeable that no matter who can advance in this round of the series between the Rockets and the Warriors, they will inevitably be skinned by the opponent, and the Timberwolves who sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight will be the biggest beneficiaries.
