"The Lakers have had a great start."

"I saw Kobe's performance yesterday, it was very good, and the sky is the limit for such a player."

"We're going to do our best to win this game."

Pat Riley's official statement did not attract much attention.

This is the style of the God Operator, and his media statements are always watertight.

However, he is very strict with the coaching of the players in the team.

"This game, you must win it!" Pat Riley narrowed his eyes, godfather-like glances sweeping over the Heat players one by one.

The current Heat are 8-4 and sit fourth in the East.

The top three are the 9-3 Bulls and Magic tied for first place, with the Indiana Pacers with 9-4 leading the third.

Many people wonder why the Pacers suddenly jumped to third place in the East. This season's Larry Bird has taken the Pacers to new heights.

Larry Bird's coaching has erased the Pacers' imprint on Larry Brown and injected a new soul!

It seems that the iron-blooded, tenacious team culture of the peak Green Army has replaced the original dull team style of Larry Brown. Reggie Miller, the league's second-leading scorer, also had a second spring under Larry Bird's tutelage.

Fellow all-time top scorer, no one knows better than Larry Bird how to make a shooter more comfortable.

As a result, the Pacers won consecutive games in the opening game, and from a fringe team that couldn't make the playoffs last year, they became third in the East in one fell swoop.

You must know that there are a lot more strong teams in the east this year than in previous years!

In addition to these four teams, there are also the Knicks led by Ewing, the Civilian Hawks coached by Wilkens, the Pistons led by Hill, and the Celtics coached by Pitino. These teams are not easy to play against, and the Pacers can fight from these teams and even crush the Heat Big Three in one fell swoop, which is simply legendary.

If the Pacers can hold on to the third spot in the East until the end of the season, then there will be no second choice for the best coach of the season other than Larry Bird!

And Pat Riley, undoubtedly, is unwilling!

The first generation of the Heat Big Three was just formed last year, and the god operator was full of ambition, surpassing many teams at the end of the season to win the second place in the East.

In the first round, he passed the danger 3:2 and eliminated Penny Hardaway. In the second round, they eliminated the Knicks in seven games, and finally fell to a team like the Chicago Bulls, which is recognized as epic.

For a team that has only been running in for only one season, such results and performances are barely acceptable to Pat Riley.

But satisfied?

Pat Riley wasn't satisfied.

Only champions!

The former helmsman of the SHOWTIME dynasty can only be satisfied with a championship!

This season is undoubtedly a great opportunity to win the championship, which is why so many teams are crazy to strengthen it.

The Bulls team is in chaos, and the soap opera continues. The Lakers are still young and haven't reached their peak yet.

Pat Riley undoubtedly wants to take advantage of the opportunity!

THE TEAM HAS THREE TOP ALL-STARS, WHICH CAN ALMOST BE SAID TO REPLICATE THE SHOWTIME ROSTER SYSTEM, AND CAN SEAMLESSLY USE THE SHOWTIME TACTICS. As long as their final run-in effect can reach 8% of the peak SHOWTIME, then this season is expected to be the champion.

However, the current record and the team's performance did not make Riley feel satisfied. The team dropped from second place in the East to fourth in the East, and the performance on the court has barely improved much from last year, which is the biggest headache for Riley.

The three All-Stars, Tim Hardaway, Amozo Mourning, and Jamal Mashburn, seem to have reached the end of their potential, barely improving. The teams in the East are all improving, while the Heat Big Three are standing still, so the gap is clearly widened.

Defeating the Lakers is the best stepping stone for the Heat to take a step forward!

In the last game, the Lakers and Jazz fought to the end, and if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's god-like performance, the Lakers would have lost.

The Jazz have already shown everyone how to beat the Lakers.

A guard who can control the ball in front of Kobe Bryant - Tim Hardaway.

A mobile interior with a mid-range shot - Mourning is barely half of it.

Add to that a bunch of forwards and shooters, and that's the best system for dealing with the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant changed his life in the last game, but can he change his life like this in every game?

Pat Riley believes impossible!

He has seen countless superstars, and indeed some players are gods when they come to the state!

But this state of the gods descending to the earth, there is always a CD. In the last game, Kobe Bryant hit nearly 7 percent of the shots, so can he still have such a performance in this game?

Kobe Bryant's final stats in the last game were 42 points, and he was extremely efficient, shooting 19 of 26!

No kidding!

If you can hit 7 percent of the shots every game, then everyone doesn't have to play, just watch Kobe Bryant's performance.

In this game, Pat Riley is going to take advantage of the Lakers and Jazz to fight until they are exhausted and take the opportunity to win!

At the same time, let the Heat get back on the right path. If the Heat want to bounce back this season and eventually win the O'Brien Cup, then this game against the Lakers will be crucial.

Win! It can motivate the players. It's very important to convince them that they have what it takes to win a championship.

Belief is the first principle of a team's success. The current Heat lacks this belief.

In the future, the best can lead a group of rookies and miscellaneous players to the finals, and faith is indispensable.

It is because of this belief that the team can sublimate.

This is also the reason why every year the Knicks seem to be a galactic battleship, but every year their final achievements are not satisfactory.

Pat Riley, he wants to build a belief in the team.

And the Lakers are the best whetstone!

"Win! Be sure to win! This game is out! ”

"If you don't play well, just get ready to leave. I'm sure the Development Alliance will welcome you 'big stars'! ”

Pat Riley says he did, and he sent starter Sasha Danilovic to the Development League last year.

The Heat players glanced at each other, and it seemed that this ball was going to play to their lives!

Mourning clenched his fists tightly.

First center O'Neal, I don't accept you!

Although Mourning was beaten by the aging Ewing last year, the current tough guy Mourning is still full of fighting spirit.

Defeating the current No. 1 center, Big Shark O'Neal, although it is only a regular season, it is very likely to be among the 'five centers'!

And such an honor is what Mo Ning desires!

Lost to Ewing last year, Mourning will not allow another loss to O'Neill this time!
