June 9, 2009, Miami, American Airlines Arena.

Game 3 of the finals was about to start, but the stands around the American Airlines arena were empty.

Outside the American Airlines arena, tens of thousands of supersonic fans and coconut fans arrived at the stadium, but there were no tickets to enter, and those Miami fans who had tickets to the game were slow to arrive.

Miami is a very casual city, and Miami fans are also a very casual group of fans, for them, basketball is just like the sun and the beach, it is one of their spices, there is no faith, and there is no special meaning.

They won't change their long-established pace of life for the Heat, or for the Finals.

Game 3 of the Finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Miami Heat was a very important game.

Maybe in this series, the third game is not necessarily the most important, but definitely the most critical.

The Heat can't lose this game again, and if they lose this game again, it will be a catastrophe!

On the other hand, the SuperSonics can't lose this game again, if the SuperSonics lose this game, then it is likely that this round of the series will take a turn, 3-0 and 2-1 The situation is completely different, especially the strength of the Heat is still the stronger side.

Such a tense game, if it is placed in other cities and other home stadiums, will definitely make the already tense atmosphere even more tense, and may even be suffocating.

But this is Miami, and this is the American Airlines Arena.

"Transitioning from Seattle to Miami is like coming to two completely different planes, one is the passionate finals, and the other seems to be just an ordinary playoff or even a regular season."

"Maybe this kind of atmosphere may be more friendly to the players of the two teams, and there is no need to be more anxious and suffocating."

The atmosphere at the American Airlines Arena was not very enthusiastic, and the Heat fans kept filling the stadium in twos and threes.

And for the players of the two teams who are already standing on the field, they dare not have any slack.

Don't say it's a player on the field.

Even the head coach on the sidelines doesn't dare to relax in the slightest now.

The away team has lost two games in a row.

According to common sense, the Heat should be about to change formations.

But Spoelstra did not change formation.

It may seem unbelievable to say.

Known as the hardest team in NBA history.

The Heat don't actually have enough roster depth to change lineups.

The Heat don't have a guy who can solve Yes one-on-one like Bowen.

In addition to James, the Heat also have no one who can solve Durant's problem.

Even......

The day after James returned to Miami from the Seattle SuperSonics, it was like he confessed that he couldn't stop Durant.

James said a lot to him, including that he wasn't undercover on the pitch and didn't release water.

It is also because he found that Durant's strength is underestimated and the supersonic strength is underestimated, so he is willing to take on all the responsibilities that do not belong to him to solve the problems of the Heat, really turn the page, and start again to start the real Finals with the purpose of defeating the superSonics.

After listening to these confessions of James, Spoelstra was shocked.

Quite quite shocked.

According to James, only he will believe these words after he is shocked, and no one else, even Wade, will believe what he says, and will only think that he is quibbling and covering up the relationship between him and Yes.

Wade's relationship with James and Yes has now reached the point of being vexatious and even hysterical.

So, Spoelstra is willing to believe what James says, and no one in the Heat will believe what he says except him.

Even himself, after being shocked, he immediately felt that it was not James who was quibbling.

It wasn't until he saw James's extremely serious and calm eyes that he changed his mind.

What a proud man James was!

No matter who it is, with James's character, he will not admit that he can't guard against someone, even if that person is Yes!

Now, James admits that he can't defend Durant, and hopes that Spoelstra will plan early, which is not a quibble, that is, he really can't prevent it.

"Eric, I don't need you to explain for me, I don't want to make any explanation when I admit all this, time is the best answer, time will give me innocence, I don't need others to believe in my innocence now, it is useless for others to believe in me, only if you believe that what I say is true, it will be useful to me and to us."

"I understand, in the next game, I will make tactical adjustments for Durant."

Durant's true strength has reached such heights that Spoelstra's previous plans and strategies have almost all been lost.

Even what he has always thought in his heart is that as long as James is on his side, the team will not panic even if he falls behind 0-3.

0-3 reversal, that's a matter of minutes!

But now, Spoelstra is really panicking.

It turns out that James has not always stood by Yes's side, but has always stood by their side.

But even so, the Heat lost the first two games, and it was a big defeat!

As a rookie coach, he had always felt that this series would just need to solve the Yes problem.

Now Yes's problem hasn't been solved, and there's another enhanced version of Maddie's Durant problem!

I thought it would be easy to be the head coach of the Heat this year, but I didn't expect it to be the toughest championship in the end!

If he fails to win the championship this year, he will be treated the same as James now, and no one will speak for him.

This one is really uncomfortable.

Spoelstra is a decisive man, his strength is not so strong, his prestige is not so high, he can compare to the old Nelson in any aspect, except that he has never been high-profile, he is the most modest head coach in the NBA, and he does not have any pressure to overthrow his tactical arrangement.

In this game, the Heat did not change personnel although there were no changes.

There is no one in the Heat who can provide a solution for Yes and Durant.

But he can do some tricks in these dishes that he already has.

Spoelstra's discomfort is known only to Spoelsstra himself, and for the whole world, it seems that it is still moving according to the established track.

"This is the first home court of this round of the series of the Heat, the result of this game, determines the trend of this round of the series, SuperSonics wins, this round of the series can be said to come to an end, the Heat wins, the suspense will be reversed again, and now the public opinion on the American side, most of them are optimistic that the Heat can win this game at home."

Sue skirt and tension.

This game was too crucial, and last year's Finals, the SuperSonics and Celtics, really didn't make him feel such nervousness.

"According to the analysis of public opinion on the American side, it is reasonable for the Heat to win one game, the strength of the Heat is above the supersonic, James has also apologized, will not go undercover anymore, both teams will be back on track, which is very unfavorable to the weaker supersound."

Teacher Zhang Lili is also very nervous, but it is still much better than Su Skirt.

Now these two Chinese commentators really don't dare to talk too much.

All with caution.

If it is too full, the supersonic will fail in the final finals, and they will be the biggest scapegoats.

Domestic media reporters can blow it casually, Yao Ming and Ye Si can win the championship every year, but they can't explain it.

Media reporters don't show their faces, they show their faces, their faces are exposed, and if they make a mistake, they will be beaten, and if they make a mistake about Ye Si, they will be beaten the most viciously!

"In this crucial game, neither the Seattle SuperSonics nor the Miami Heat have changed their lineups!"

On the court, Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Yese, Rondo, and on the other side of the line, Chandler, Chris Bosh, James, Ben Gordon and Wade are all on their feet.

With the untidy cheers of the Heat fans at the scene, Milicic beat Chandler for a jump ball.

Milicic was very uncomfortable in this year's finals by Chandler.

Of course, Milicic is not afraid of Chandler one-on-one, the key is that Millsap was blown up by Chris Posh, Millsap likes to play Randolph very much, and is a little uncomfortable with Chris Posh, fast, good physical fitness, and skills, can pull the farthest outside the three-point line, and the ball quotient is still high.

Because Millsap was blown up, Milicic had to make up for Chris Bosh in defense, and Chandler had to play in offense, although his strength this season has improved a lot, one-on-one he is not afraid of anyone from these two, but one-on-two, it is really a little inadequate.

After the two finals, it is not said to be undercover, but it is really not so brilliant, it can only be said to be qualified.

Of course, from another point of view, the Heat's interior line is so strong, and the supersonic interior line has not collapsed, although it is not brilliant, but it is stable, which is also very, very good.

After Milicic successfully jumped the ball, he did not hesitate and quickly went to the front.

Chandler's range of assistance is very large, although he is grasping the offense and defense, and the assistance defense of Chris Bosh has been very exhausting, but he still can't relax at all on the offensive end.

As long as he can't put Chandler under pressure on the offensive end, Chandler will have more scope on the defensive end.

So, it doesn't matter what the effect of his offensive play Chandler is, he must maintain his deterrence on the offensive end, the three interior lines of the SuperSonics, as far as he has the threat of an inside attack, Millsap and Gasol Jr. do not have the threat of an inside attack.

According to Mr. Nelson, he is the fulcrum of the team's interior line, even if it is 0 in 10, as long as he is standing there, it works.

Milicic is running hard and being a useful fulcrum for his team-mates, and he is very happy.

It's just that......

As he crossed the half-pitch, Milicic was surprised to find it.

Of the Heat's two interior lines, only Chandler is retreating, while Chris Bosh is ......

"Chris Bosh is not playing power forward in this game, but playing small forward?!"

"Chris Bosh still played power forward during warm-up training, and even when he jumped the ball just now, he was with Millsap, and after the jump ball was over, Chris Bosh suddenly appeared in front of Durant?!"

"The Miami Heat's roster hasn't changed, but the tactics have changed!"

"Chris Bosh appeared in the small forward position in this game, and James played as a big forward!"

After Game 3 of the Seattle SuperSonics and Miami Heat Finals began, the sudden change caused a bit of an uproar in commentators from all over the world.

In addition to these commentaries, the old Nelson on the sidelines and Yes on the field were also quite surprised.

"It's not just Chris Bosh who has changed!"

Almost instantly, Ye Si and Old Nelson appeared in their hearts almost at the same time!

"Ben Gordon and Wade are even more fierce against Yes!"

Yes received a pass from Rondo, and almost just after halftime, he was forced to jump up and pass the ball to Durant on the left by Wade and Ben Gordon's quick sandwich.

Space!

Wade and Ben Gordon gave him less space to dribble, and the pinch shot was more resolute!

Other words!

After Yass threw the ball to Durant, he did not appreciate Durant's singles as usual, but looked at Rondo, who was standing there angrily and lonely with a black face at this time.

"Rondo, completely emptied!"

"Rondo was completely emptied by the Heat!"

In the first two games, although the Heat put Rondo very, very big, it was out of the need to flank Yes, so they had to put it.

However, no matter how much you put it, it is not completely empty like now!

Wade and Ben Gordon really focused on Yes, and both of them even had their backs to Rondo!

As an NBA player, you are completely empty on the NBA court!

"It's a shame for an NBA player!"

In the stands, Dream Green, who has always been very good at dealing with Rondo, said with a sneer.

“……”

The other University of Washington players on the other side were a little speechless for a moment when they heard Green say this, and they didn't know what to say.

On the court, Durant, who received Yes's pass, looked at the familiar Chris Bosh in front of him, and did not choose to face James's direct pull.

After taking a step back, the direct and drastic change of direction completely wiped out Chris Bosh, who had worked very hard!

"Beautiful!"

Even Spoelstra on the sidelines secretly exclaimed.

With such a tall height, such a strong flexibility and soft balance, and such good skill and pace, it's no wonder James said he couldn't defend himself against Durant one-on-one.

But!

Looking at the terrifying beast flying in the air, Spoelstra's eyes were full of surprise.

And Durant, who jumped up and prepared for a mid-range jumper, was shocked when he saw it!

Bang!

As soon as the basketball that flew out of Durant's hand flew out, it was slapped off the court by a huge slap!

"James!"

On the supersonic bench, all the supersonic players stood up in surprise.

"Kd's shot was actually blocked?!"

On the court, James didn't dance like he used to be because of the spotlight and focus, and the expression on his face was quite calm.

I don't fix the defensive position, I don't fix the defender, my speed, my explosion, my height, my bounce, my strength, I can finally fully show it!

After taking a deep look at Durant's face, James looked at Yes on the other side.

James's eyes were incomparably calm, and he didn't seem to fluctuate at all.

Still, yes saw a challenge.

No, even a provocation!
