With two more victories in Denver and Cleveland, the Lakers are on their way to Miami, a beach city in the eastern United States!

When people think of Los Angeles, the first thing that comes to mind is stars, beaches, sunshine, and Hollywood.

Miami, located on the East Coast, is also a mecca full of sunshine and beaches, vacation and leisure! Across the air from Los Angeles and on both sides of the coast of the United States, it can be said that it is the two richest areas in the Americas.

Miami is located in Florida and is the second largest city in Florida. It has one of the warmest and wettest tropical climates in the United States, and it is worth mentioning that Miami is the warmest city in the United States in winter, with an average temperature of 19.5°C in January and 28.3°C in July. Such a climate is a gift from God.

Miami used to be known as "God's Waiting Room." To this day, if you ask people who haven't been to Miami their impressions of the city, they'll tell you a vague city full of retirement apartments and swimming pools. Because of its warm climate, it is one of the most popular cities for retirees in the United States, so it is nicknamed the waiting room for God's call. Today, Miami is a haven for seniors and fashion designers, bikini models and Cuban immigrants. The city, which once had the highest murder rate in the United States, attracts more than 11 million visitors each year.

And in such an idyllic city, the American professional basketball team, the Miami Heat was founded in 1988. In their first seven seasons, the Heat never had more than 50 wins in the regular season, and only made the playoffs in two seasons, despite having a superscorer like Glen Rice and a first-line small forward in the league. Pat Riley left the New York Knicks last season, the 95-96 season, and joined the Heat in a high-profile manner, vowing to build the Heat into the next championship team and become the 'Lakers' on the East Coast.

As soon as the Top Gun operator entered the team, he traded the team's number one star, Glen Les, to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for tough guy Amozo Monen. Then, in the middle of the season, he traded draft picks and some role players for Tim Hardaway.

At this time, Hardaway played 52 games in the Warriors, and only 18 of them were starters, and Rick Adelman actually preferred to start with BJ Armstrong instead of Tim Hardaway!

This undoubtedly angered Tim Hardaway, who decisively demanded a trade and was eventually sold to the Miami Heat by the team at a low price.

And this season, Pat Riley once again used a near-robbery trade to get Jamal Mashburn with a draft pick and two role players!

In addition to Mourning, the other two giants of the Heat are trading for a very small price! It was a robbery, and Pat Riley forced these deals with his connections in the league for many years, forming the first generation of the 'Big Three' in the Heat in one fell swoop. The team's tactics and star play are almost a replica of the SHOWTIME, and the Big Three correspond to the Magic, Worthy, and Abdul-Jabbar.

ALTHOUGH HARDAWAY, MASHBURN, AND MOURNING ARE A NOTCH BEHIND THE BIG THREE DURING THE LAKERS SHOWTIME, THE COMBINED EFFECT HAS BECOME A CHAMPIONSHIP FAVORITE EVEN IF IT IS NOT A HISTORICAL DYNASTY TEAM!

At least in the East, the current Heat is no one but the Bulls! Their record and recent performances have been outstanding, and the Heat are the biggest obstacle for the Eastern Conference Bulls as long as the Big Three stay healthy. It's a team with few weaknesses, from the outside to the inside, from offense to defense, you'd be hard-pressed to find a point to beat them.

On the road to the championship, every team competes with who has fewer flaws, because in the playoff of the best-of-7 system, the flawed team will definitely be targeted, and every team that wins the championship cannot be said to be without flaws and loopholes, but it must be very few.

The Bulls' flaw is that they don't have the ability to score on their own, Houston's flaw is their age, the Lakers' flaw is their experience, and the Jazz's flaw is Stockton's scoring ability......

Every team, every champion in history is not completely without flaws, but they tend to be the least flawed of the teams of the same period. If you have such an obvious interior flaw like the current Lakers, you don't have a chance to win the championship at all.

And the Heat, like several current championship teams, have not many significant shortcomings, and what this Heat lacks is a real superstar, a character that Tim Hardaway can't do, Mourning can't do, and Mashburn can't do. If Grant Hill can replace Mashburn, then this team will immediately take off and become a dynasty team.

And the current Heat, even so. In any season, it is enough to have the strength and opportunity to compete for the championship. Although the probability may not be large, perhaps not more than single digits, it is still a team that has the quality to compete for the championship.

And the current Lakers, if the shortcomings of the interior line are not solved, they are always very easy to target, and before O'Neal returns, there may be no way to solve this problem.

"The Lakers' interior line is a group of soft eggs, and I will teach this group of recruits what confrontation is." Amozo Mornine gestured at the press conference to his biceps. And Pat Riley on the side also nodded with relief, in this game against the Lakers, Mourning's point is the absolute strength of the Heat.

'After Mashburn was traded, I was very happy with the team's performance. Pat Riley also encouraged his own players, after the establishment of the 'Big Three', the team has run in much faster than he imagined, the SHOWTIME system has been initially established, and now all that is needed is more training.

Pat Riley is confident that even if the team lacks a real superstar, as long as the players can play the essence of SHOWTIME and carry out their will in place, then the current Heat is not afraid of any team!

Why not hibernate and rebuild, and get a few super rookies in the era of genius in the past few years? That's because Pat Riley has always had the confidence of a champion coach! He believes he can beat anyone! This is a man who aspires to be the best coach of all time, and Pat Riley doesn't agree that superstars decide everything, and in his opinion, basketball is always a five-man sport.

It's not that one person is strong enough to go against the sky, and if you let go of the magician, he can also average 30 points per game. But that really can't win the championship, in Riley's eyes, only five players can play the role he wants at the same time, and that kind of team can be called the strongest!
