Chapter 270: Our Goal Is the Overall Championship (3/5)

After winning the tie-break, James and Wade attended the post-game press conference.

'We didn't have Chris [Bosh] in the first four games and his return is our biggest help and now we can go all out for the title."

'I said that the team's goal this season is to win the title, and as I said before, that hasn't changed.

"The opponent in the Finals, whether it's the Thunder or the Spurs, it's the same for us, last year we weren't ready, this year it's different, this year we just have to beat ourselves."

……

James' tone in the interview was extremely firm, and it was clear that he wanted and was ready to win the championship.

"It's coming! Showdown! ”

"LeBron's team is facing the Spurs again, and Duncan said to LeBron five years ago that the future is yours, and now it depends on whether it will come true!"

"Haha, buddy, you have a good memory, but there is a grudge between the godfather and the Heat team in this final, it is really the most interesting matchup!"

"Yes, The Godfather has proven the tremendous energy he can provide as a role player, and he's definitely going to be a series spoiler!"

"Seriously, I can't really imagine what it would be like if the Spurs eliminated the Heat."

"Duncan: The future is yours, I take back that sentence, I'm lying to you~"

"Godfather: You've done everything right this season, and the only thing you've done wrong is to give up on picking me!"

"Hehe, you're all thinking too much, where are the LeBron fans? Miami wins! ”

"The broken sword has been reforged, the human emperor has returned to the throne, and the sword points to the west!"

"My emperor goes on an expedition, and he won't be born soon!"

"Miami wins! My Emperor will win! ”

……

The game hasn't started yet, and it's already been hyped on social media.

After James chose to leave the Cavaliers and come to the Heat, the controversy about him has not stopped.

There are fans who support him and there are fans who ridicule him, and none of this will change until he actually wins the championship.

Because the Spurs have the best record in the league, the first game of the Finals will still be played in San Antonio.

The Heat arrived in San Antonio a day early, and the Heat practiced behind closed doors.

Although he shouted very loudly, it was a fact that he played a tie-break with the Celtics, and Spoelstra was obviously conservative about facing the Spurs.

The two teams met only once in the regular season, when Tang scored a season-high 27 points to beat the Heat.

It was also in that game that Spoelstra's bag-and-handle tactics were cracked.

His caution before the game is also reasonable.

At the end of the training session, the players went back to the locker room to rest.

James had just come out of the shower when he saw Battier and Wade sitting there chatting again.

Aside from him, the team and Wade are most likely to talk to Battier.

"Don's performance was really good, both offensively and defensively, if only we had chosen him." Wade sighed.

"Yes, but I like his ball intelligence more than his performance, and honestly, he's the smartest player I've ever seen." Battier also opened his mouth to comply.

James' brow furrowed slightly when he heard this.

Wade and Battier are actually blowing Tang Tian?

This is definitely not a good thing before the game.

Wade and Battier laughed, and when they saw James come over with a serious expression, they didn't continue to talk.

They knew that James was not too interested in Tang Tian, especially in the 27-point game in the regular season, James's state was angry.

On the second day of the game, the Heat arranged a practice session that was open to the public.

This training session is only for shooting.

Spoelstra's intentions are clear.

The previous closed training session was needed by the team, but this open training session was also necessary.

It's about showing the outside world where the Heat are now, and they're relaxed.

James and Wade were talking and laughing in practice, and Battier was in an open three-pointer with Millerby.

This is indeed the state that the entire Heat team showed in front of reporters.

After training, James was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

He is quite experienced in dealing with journalists, and he is basically fluent.

"Don was very successful defending Durant in the Western Conference Finals, would that be a problem for the team?"

However, when a reporter asked about Tang Tian's topic, James's expression was obviously a little fluctuating.

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

Now he's still with the Heat, and what he suggested to Riley is still unknown.

But if he is no longer on the Heat team in the future, or after Tang Tian really plays, the leakage of news is likely to be inevitable.

At that time, it will be a big blow to his reputation.

To say that he really didn't think that a second-round show would be like this.

But what happened could not be changed, and he could only pretend not to care.

"No, no, like I've always said, our goal is the championship, and that's not going to change, and that's not going to change because of a rookie."

James replied in a firm tone.

And after answering this question, he hurriedly ended the interview.

From James' reaction, the reporters also read a lot.

It seems that the grievances between Tang Tian and the Heat are not just between Tang Tian and the Heat management?

It seems to have something to do with the little emperor too?

Of course, this is all speculation at the moment.

More people understand that Tang Tian scored those 27 points at the beginning, so that the Heat team did not have an advantage in morale, which made James, who has always been generous, a little concerned.

"The defense of the Big Three, the focus is on single defense, Kawai, try to limit LeBron, Don, your defense against Wade is the same, and it's more important for us to limit their role players."

Popovich's pre-match work was more about tactical deployment.

This deployment is also perfectly fine.

The last game in which the Heat beat the Celtics in a tie-break was very revealing, and if it weren't for Battier's sudden outburst, the outcome of the game would still be unknown.

The Heat's Big Three are relatively consistent, and what they'll really play is the kind of three- to five-point scorching game.

So what the Spurs have to do is limit the role players of the Heat team and avoid that situation as much as possible.

'Tim, don't keep it, don't think about fitness, they're weak on the inside, and that's our biggest chance.'

Popovich said to Duncan alone at the end.

In that game in the regular season, Tang Tian's outburst was important, and Duncan's dominance on the inside was also important.

If the Spurs want to win this series, controlling the play of their role players and gaining an advantage on the interior are two things they have to do.
