Chapter 283: James: We Can Make History (1/5)

After a two-day break, Game 4 of the Finals resumed in Miami.

Before the game, Wade gathered the players together.

"I know we're in a bad place right now, but trust me, guys, I've been through this and I know what to do.

Relax your mentality, it's really not a big deal to lose, make this game like the first game and we'll start again.

Shoot every open spot, defend every well, believe in each other and we'll succeed. ”

Wade's pre-match encouragement was evident.

And he has a championship resume, and saying these words can make the other players really listen.

The American Airlines arena was still packed, and despite the sheer disadvantage, the city didn't abandon their home team.

Once the game started, James played a completely different game than he did in the previous game, and he tried to use his containment to find teammates.

The Heat's role players didn't start off well, and the team was a bit passive in the opening game.

But as the game progressed, more shots brought form, and back-to-back three-pointers from Battier and Miller helped the Heat catch up.

The two teams battled fiercely until the end of the fourth quarter.

James' last-minute pass was received by Battier.

Battier didn't disappoint the home fans this time around, scoring a three-pointer in the bottom corner to help the Heat build a five-point lead in the final moments.

The Heat also narrowly defeated the Spurs 101-96 at home to tie the overall score at 1-3.

James scored just 18 points in the game, but he also contributed 15 rebounds and 11 assists.

Wade had 21 points and five assists, Bosh had 17 points and six boards, Battier had 15 points, Miller had 12 points and Chambers had 11 points and three assists.

The rest of the Heat's players, including role players, played out in this game.

After the game, the Heat players celebrated wildly in the locker room.

James hugged Wade for a long time.

Winning this game was not just a win for them, it was a renewed confidence to win.

It's a race that makes the impossible possible.

And just as the Spurs found a way to beat them, they now find a way to beat the Spurs.

On the third day after the end of the fourth game, the two sides faced off in the fifth game in San Antonio.

This is the home of the Spurs and their second match point.

However, the result of this game was unexpected by everyone.

Tang Tian scored a new Finals high 16 points in this game, and Ginobili also scored 20 points, but Duncan only scored 6 points and 7 rebounds.

After a series of high-intensity matches, it was clear that "Stone Buddha" was in a problem with his fitness.

After a series of highlight-reel performances, most people forget about the fact that Duncan is about to turn 36.

But the facts are there.

The Spurs didn't gain an advantage inside, and they trailed by nearly 20 points in the third quarter.

In the final quarter, although Tang Tian hit two three-pointers in a row, the Spurs still failed to close the point difference.

Duncan and Ginobili didn't play in the quarter, and the Spurs also lost 91-110 to the Heat.

The 19 points also set a record for the largest point difference between the two sides since the finals.

After winning this away game, the Heat chased the score to 2-3 after falling behind 0-3.

Nine times out of ten, things suddenly became suspenseful again.

Such a dramatic change has also attracted a lot of heated discussions among fans on Twitter.

"Spurs playing match-fixing?"

"Is it really possible, have you forgotten the league treatment the Spurs received after the '05 Finals hit a new low in ratings?"

"Get out! A bunch of keyboard warriors! Can't you see a change in the Heat? They went from playing with three people to playing with one team! ”

"Yes, the two games that the Heat have won, the role players outside of the Big Three have played well."

"As a neutral fan, I actually think the two teams are evenly matched.

The Spurs did a good job defending the Heat's role players in the early games, which, combined with Duncan's advantage on the inside, allowed them to go 3-0.

But with the opening of the Heat's role players and Duncan's physical decline, the situation has become the way it is, and they now have the same opportunities. ”

"Yes, that's what really understands the game, but one thing, I think the Heat have taken the initiative in the series, because the next game is on their home court, and as the series goes on, their physical advantage starts to come out."

"The first team in NBA history to come back 0-3 is coming, and it's still in the Finals!"

"They will forever be etched in NBA history and remembered by everyone!"

……

Game 6 of the Finals will be played in Miami, and if the Heat can win this game, the Finals will be dragged into a tiebreaker.

The Heat players had more confidence than ever before when they practiced.

Trailing 2-3, they had already experienced it once in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they eventually managed to come back from behind.

One thing the Spurs and Celtics have in common is that they are older.

This gives them confidence to complete the comeback again.

After the training, James spoke to reporters on the sidelines as usual.

"What happened to this team that made you go from a 0-3 situation to a 2-3 one?"

"We found the right way to play and we had great chemistry."

"You mentioned the chemistry, and the chemistry of the Spurs on the other side was good."

"Yes, but it's a series and we have a better physical advantage as well."

"Do you think Tim Duncan will play out of style in the next game?"

'No, he's a great player, he's not going to be like that in a row, but we're going to deal with it, we're confident.'

……

James was in a good mood and answered reporters' questions fluently and with a smile on his face.

"We know that no team in NBA history has been able to make a comeback at a 0-3 level, and will the Heat be the first?"

The reporter asked a more difficult question to answer.

"Why not?"

James was really in a good mood this time, and asked the reporter directly with a smile.

It's a question, and it's an affirmative.

James is ready to make history with the team.

The day before the game, the Spurs arrived in Miami again.

The players seem to be in good spirits.

Although he was chased for 2 games in a row, in the past two days, Popovich has only arranged some basic shooting training.

When he arrived in Miami, he didn't even schedule training.

He knew exactly what the reason for the big defeat in the last game was.

As long as the physical strength is recovered, the Spurs and Heat are still on the court.

In the end, who wins and who loses depends on the on-the-spot performance of the players.
