Chapter 1845 Internal and External Difficulties Lead to Reconciliation
Vomiting blood will result in vomiting blood. The fourth game still needs to be prepared as usual.
Logically speaking, the probability of a comeback in a game trailing 0-3 is almost zero. Over the years, there has not been a single 0-3 comeback in the playoffs, let alone a 0-3 finals game. , it proves that the two teams are not on the same level at all. The strength gap is there. If you can't win the first three games, what can you do to make a comeback?
But then again, this year's finals ended in such a situation that no one expected. Although the strength of the Lakers is obvious to all, the Heat are not bad either. With this lineup, they will be the favorites for the championship in any era. Candidate.
What's more, the Heat gradually found their form after experiencing a slump at the beginning of the season, and finally completed a counterattack all the way. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they destroyed the Bulls, the biggest dark horse of the year, 4-1 and then reached the finals. Before the finals, they were even more impressive than the Lakers next door. win.
After all, the Lakers were pushed to Game 6 by the Mavericks and almost reached the seventh game before they were able to escape the danger. The Heat easily defeated the old Big Three Celtics and the emerging powerhouse Bulls, and easily reached the finals. of.
However, I didn't expect that the first three games of the finals would end like this. The Heat were beaten like a younger brother by the Lakers. The Heat, who were fighting against the Big Three, were defeated with little strong resistance. In the third game, they were defeated in the middle. There was a big joke on the field, but it was eventually broken by Ji Feng who played despite being sick.
So today's Heat, almost no one outside the outside world is optimistic about it.
Not only the outside world, but also the atmosphere within the Heat team goes without saying. Although James has a good relationship, the relationship has always been based on victory. This is a professional league after all, and victory is the most important. Relationships cannot be eaten. Eat, so you can imagine what the atmosphere will be like in the Heat after successive defeats and reversals in the finals.
Although James and Wade have stated in front of the media that they will not give up, the game is not over yet, and it cannot change the fact that the atmosphere in the Heat team is very DOWN.
After losing in the third game, there was almost no unnecessary noise in the Heat locker room. This state even continued into the training session the next day. The atmosphere was like being in an Antarctic ice factory.
Therefore, this is the situation before Spoelstra, troubled internally and externally, but that's all. To be honest, Spoelstra suddenly understood why Riley didn't come out to lead the Heat by himself. This was obviously putting him on the fire!
Spoelstra wanted to call Riley last night and ask Riley to come to the locker room to cheer for the team and enlighten the team. As a result, Riley said that the general manager cannot enter the locker room. Everything is based on him as the head coach!
To be honest, Spoelstra wanted to just buy a train ticket and run away. He usually comes to the locker room from time to time to make his presence felt. When it comes to critical moments like this, he starts to show off his style!
"FUCK!" Spo wanted to shout "Cunning American" at that time!
But there is no way. Riley's words are reasonable and well-founded, so he has to clean up the team's mess. To be honest, at this level, he himself has no confidence in making a comeback. According to this situation, It is proper to prepare for next season's games and reinforcements as soon as possible. After all, although they lost miserably, the star team is here after all. Spoelstra believes that as long as he is given time, they will come back next season.
To be honest, this season has fully exposed the problems of a giant team that was temporarily formed in the summer. In addition to the lack of tacit understanding, unreasonable lineup, and single tactics, the team lacks a clear core and has no qualified leaders in the locker room. Big problems, which can usually be covered up by the abilities of stars, but once faced with a super team like the Lakers, these problems are undoubtedly revealed.
Apart from anything else, Ji Feng's return as king is inseparable from the efforts of the entire Lakers team, but this will never happen in the Heat. It's as simple as that.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the fight between Wade and James for the ball. Wade exploded in the finals, and James suddenly changed to playing without the ball, resulting in inaction on the court. This was also an important reason for the Heat's sudden collapse.
These will take time to resolve.
But I’m not willing to give up like this.
"Hey!" Sibo sighed heavily. What's the use of being unwilling? The situation is irreversible.
And Spo is not the only one who is also unwilling...
On the court late at night on June 6, the sounds of basketballs bouncing and men breathing were particularly clear at night.
Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not someone taking advantage of the night to do something unspeakable to the basketball in the arena. The camera zoomed in, and a 28-year-old man with a 50-year-old appearance appeared in the arena.
LeBron James, once the chosen one, is now the object of ridicule. After three games, LeBron's popularity has reached its lowest point. The phrase "falling from the altar" is not enough to describe James' situation at this moment.
At first, the little emperor was an expectation, but now it has become a joke. Many people are mocking that James will crash before he ascends the throne.
This is not the most uncomfortable thing. The most uncomfortable thing is that what they said is the truth. According to James' current honor, let alone Jordan, there are a lot of people who can surpass him. There is no championship, and the number of MVPs is embarrassing. Zero times, especially the very important regular season MVP, not even once, let alone the finals MVP.
Take what the fans said about him: "Discussing the Finals MVP is actually an honor. After all, it at least proves that you have won the championship. We will not discuss whether James will win the Finals MVP. After all, 7 consecutive losses in the Finals are really true." It’s unprecedented.”
That's right, James' flaw lies here. There is no need to criticize him, just presenting the facts and reasoning is enough to make James feel heartbroken.
After all, 7 consecutive losses in the finals is comparable to the situation of the entire Magic team in the finals. Of course, you can also say that he has a runner-up and an upcoming runner-up, but in the field of competitive sports, Being runner-up just means you are the top loser. This is not worth discussing, otherwise Baylor would be the strongest player.
If you want to say that James can accept this situation, it is absolutely a joke. His appearance in the arena now proves his unwillingness. Third, it is like the basketball being thrown out is constantly rejected by the basket. This unwillingness It seems very helpless at this moment.
But he couldn't do anything but throw out one shot after another. It was doomed from the moment he arrived in Miami. He had no way out.
"Hey man, I knew you were here." Wade's voice came from behind James. You may not believe it. This is the first conversation between these two people in a day.
"Why are you here?" James put down the ball, picked up the drink and drank the whole bottle, then sat on the floor.
"I can't sleep, let's vent some extra energy." Wade picked up the ball on the ground, and then there was another 20 minutes of silence.
James is used to such silence. After all, this is Miami, not his territory... And just when James was about to leave, Wade spoke.
"I'm willing to hand the ball over."
"Huh? What?"
"I said, I am willing to give you the ball. As long as I can win, I am willing to be the second in charge." Wade came over and looked into James' eyes.
