On July 12th, LeBron James suddenly announced his return to Cleveland, and for a while, the pattern of the league suddenly became complicated again, first of all, of course, the sudden fall of the Heat, which is good news for the Pacers, but when James returned to the Cavaliers, teaming up with Irving, who has gradually grown up, may be a strong team again, and the Cavaliers now have a lot of salary space, after the departure of the highest-paid Lore Deng, The salary of the entire Cavaliers adds up to only 5,500, even if James is given a maximum salary, there is still room to continue to strengthen, plus this year's champion Andrew Wiggins, maybe next year's Cavaliers will be more difficult to deal with than this year's Heat.

In fact, James's departure was already a few days ago, and the night of July 9 should be the day when LeBron really made up his mind, what happened to the meeting that night? According to the media, it can be divided into several parts.

The first part, about Spoelstra:

Riley texted LeBron after the season wrap-up, but was told to talk to his agent and never answered the phone again. In the end, LeBron finally waited for him to return home from vacation and got the opportunity to meet in Las Vegas. LeBron made it clear that he didn't want to take Spo, he just wanted to see Riley + Wade + Mitch.

But perhaps out of godfather pride, Riley challenged the emperor again, bringing Spo with him. At the meeting, LeBron ignored Spo and asked Riley directly if he could return to coaching, but Riley did not give a direct answer. LeBron has proposed on different occasions intentionally or unintentionally that although he is born with brute force and claims to be able to play 5 positions, he really doesn't want to continue to fight hand-to-hand with all kinds of strong men represented by David West in the case of attacking and defending together.

Anyone watching the Heat will have the feeling that Spo is like a robot, his personnel routine is basically dead, he is slow to react on the spot, he never feels like a god, and he never makes a desperate bet when the team has half a foot on the cliff.

This season is even more so, whenever the ball can't be played; He'll play a shorter lineup. In the 4 games against the Nets in the regular season, when I saw that my guard was Deron and Livingston were tall and fat, and they were homeless, they would still decisively send double PGs.

The No. 3 position in the league has hoarded all kinds of gibbons, spring men, beasts in the world, and without 6-foot-8 is embarrassed to say that he is a small forward, he has to use the 39-year-old 6-foot-5 Ray Allen to play SF in the second team (maybe Ray Allen himself is not happy with this) In Chalmers's downturn throughout the season, not only did he not make any progress, but his temper is still getting bigger and bigger and hurts the team, he is still blindly superstitious, and he is not given enough time to the No. 1 position to let him top the No. 2 position.

If his team is ahead, Spo must wait on the sidelines until the 10-point advantage is eaten away before calling a timeout; If the game is anxious, you must wait until you are close to 2 digits behind before calling a timeout, if the opponent takes the lead in changing the lineup, he usually has to lose 2 games in a row to figure it out, and he may not understand it and lose the playoffs directly.

In fact, in the away games against the Trail Blazers and away against the Warriors, Bosh and James did not force their shots according to Spo's arrangement, and they all completed the stunner. But in games such as the home game against the Timberwolves, according to Spo's arrangement, even the tactics could not be completed smoothly, and the shot was hasty.

Victory can cover up a lot of problems, and this time the Eastern Conference Finals were beaten by the Pacers, and all of these problems were exposed. LeBron said after the Eastern Conference Finals that we have to improve in all positions, and no one should have thought at the time that every position would include the head coach, including the uniform team.

Recall the last 4 years:

In 11 years, there wasn't much of a problem with the Heat's interior line, LeBron? Wade's two monsters let Wushuang sweep the leaves all the way to the autumn wind, and Bosh is also in good shape. The finals were almost 2:0 away, but they were overturned. LeBron is naturally responsible, but Spo, who let LeBron play without the ball and use Wade as the main point of attack to fight for FMVP, is also to blame, and Spo can be said to have defeated Carlisle.

In 12 years, although there was a reason for Bosh's injury, the East Final was forced to the end of the mountain by the old, weak and sick Celtics 3:2, and Spo was comprehensively suppressed by Rivers, but fortunately, G6 was paralyzed and Zhan played the strongest battle of his career to save the day. In the Finals, thankfully, against the worse Thunder coach Scott Brooks (SB) and the Thunder Big Three, who had little playoff experience, had the upper hand and won the first championship of LeBron's life.

In 13 years, the team ran in the best of 3 years, added the former Seattle SuperSonics twins, and finally won 60 wins in a single season after 27 consecutive wins in the regular season, with a neat lineup and good chemistry. Who knew that against Vogel + 3rd grade pickled peppers, who had just been temporarily on the bench a few months ago, they fought hard for 7 games, and if it wasn't for LeBron's whistle layup, the result would be really hard to say. In the finals, Manu, Parker was injured, kawaii was in 2nd grade, and he was almost solved by **6 games when he had one more home game. If it weren't for Ray Allen's genius, the Heat would probably lose the championship again.

And this year, when the team introduced a number of veterans, the Heat only won 54 games, and finally let their biggest opponent get the home court advantage, and it is precisely because of this that the Pacers won two cities in a row on their home court, and directly beat the Heat team to the confusion, and Spo's tactical choice has to be criticized, because he obviously has a good deck of cards in his hand, but he has to play blindly, and the final result is naturally that the Heat team hates the Eastern Conference Finals.

Spo has only one 60-win regular season with the league's only three All-Star teams, worse than Mike Brown with LeBron. The key games of the playoffs are all disadvantaged when they meet ** Vic, Carlisle, Rivers, and even Vogel, although the final result is not bad to see 4 finals and 2 championships, but in the parallel world, it can easily become 1 or even 0 championships.

What level of coach is LeBron's top 10 supergiants in history? Jordan, Kobe, Shark has a Zen master, Duncan has Zhuge Vic, Magician, Sky Hook has Riley, etc., etc., can he only rely on Spo for the rest of his life? It's also unrealistic to let Riley out of the mountains, after all, he is old and tired of playing away games with the team. LeBron's move at the July 9 meeting was not to say that Riley was going to get out of the mountain, but to fire Spo.

It's a pity that Riley, as a dictator of a generation, will not fire his proud subordinates because of LeBron, and the final result is naturally that James was forced to make 'Decision 2', return to Cleveland, and play hometown basketball.
