In fact, many fans guessed that the Trail Blazers and Heat would meet in the Finals for the second consecutive season, but the process of the two sides advancing was completely reversed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the divisional finals, for example, the Trail Blazers faced the Spurs, who beat them to become the No. 1 team in the West during the regular season, and this team is considered a whetstone for any strong team in the league, which is enough to prove their quality. However, the Trail Blazers easily eliminated their opponents 4-1 and led 3-0 at one point, which made many people's jaws drop. While it's true that you're the defending champion, does the defending champion have a bonus?

In a word, the performance of this Trail Blazers team is very ferocious, and even the old powerhouse Spurs are not enough to stand in their way.

The complete opposite of them is the Heat. Although the Celtics took the lead in opening the Big Three model in the 21st century, it was the Heat who really carried forward the Big Three, and before the Eastern Conference Finals, no one thought that the Celtics could stop the strong Heat, but they did. Although it was the Heat who advanced in the end, the Celtics dragged them into the tiebreaker, which is also the last dignity they left for themselves.

An autumn wind swept away the leaves, a team experienced hardships and dangers, the promotion of the Trail Blazers and the Heat completely subverted people's impressions, so when it came to the finals, no one dared to say which team would win the championship, the Heat Big Three had a good chance, but the Trail Blazers seemed to be in better shape.

And the Trail Blazers also have home-court advantage, which is a huge test for the Heat. However, neither side took the comments in the media to heart, and still used the few hours for the final rest and recovery, after all, when it came to the finals, there was not much time left for everyone to rest.

On June 12, the first game of the 2011-12 Finals was played at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, and the entire arena was packed. It can be seen that the championship is exciting for the fans, although they have won it last season, but they always hope that the team they support can win another one, another one, and build a dynasty for generations to come.

Spoelstra did not routinely send the big three to start at the same time, but instead sat Bosh on the sidelines, which was a little incomprehensible to McMillan. But he quickly reacted, and the Heat obviously wanted one of James and Wade to team up with Bosh to impact their rotation lineup, and any team's pure rotation lineup would inevitably collapse directly when encountering such an opponent, and the only way to deal with it was to let the main players play more time as well.

However, McMillan does not intend to imitate the Heat, they have their advantages, and it is better to follow the rules themselves. He fielded the Trail Blazers' most played starting lineup all season: Felton, Matthews, Ye Feng, Aldridge and Oden, with Roy on the bench as the sixth man. In McMillan's opinion, Roy is almost recovering, and if he and Miller, Hickson, and Camby lead the bench lineup, the strength should not drop much.

The Heat came up with a small lineup, with the new signing Battier taking the position of power forward, Haslem at center, and Chalmers, Wade and James at the No. 1 to No. 3 positions. McMillan waved his hand: We will play inside in this game!

Playing the interior line, it is naturally Aldridge's main offense, which is also human nature, after all, the Heat's starting interior line is too short, and it is really unreasonable not to use it. But soon McMillan's face turned green, although Battier is only 2.03 meters tall and is 34 years old this year, but he has done a good job of defending Aldridge on the inside, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Aldridge's face is quite ugly when he constantly asks for the ball in the low post.

Aldridge was not tough, and he was stuck in position behind Battier, and when he wanted to turn around and jump shot, he found that the opponent had already covered his face with his hands, and only gave the Heat a few defensive rebounds with a few forced shots, which did not help the team.

In desperation, McMillan could only call a timeout, let the interior players do a good job of defense, and the outside line was responsible for the offense. Oden has no opinion, and Aldridge does not dare to have an opinion, after all, he is the one who has just performed badly, and it is normal for the manager to want the outside to take on the offensive firepower.

The No. 1 position is naturally a rookie pecking each other, although Felton is relatively more experienced than Chalmers, but it is not much stronger, and it is still the combination of Ye Feng and Matthews that determines the direction of the game, and they are simply needle-to-needle with James + Wade on the opposite side.

For a while, the situation on the court was much better, and even the atmosphere of the entire arena was hot, and no one didn't want to see such a wonderful matchup, and the same was true for the Trail Blazers fans. As much as they want their team to win in the end, it's even better to play well in the process of winning.

The starters were almost tied, but the Heat were able to take a five-point lead thanks to Battier's successful defense of Aldridge at the beginning, much to Spoelstra's satisfaction. But after changing to the bench lineup, the Heat quickly fell behind, in fact, it is not accurate to say that the downside, but there is no previous advantage.

Roy was in excellent form in this game, with a fairly high shooting percentage, and although he couldn't prevent Wade's breakthrough, he could always make up for the lost points on the offensive end. The Heat's interior line was almost suppressed, the combination of Camby and Hickson was more tough, and Bosh was almost entangled so that he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, but was instead scored by Hickson in a series of physical confrontations under the basket, and the Trail Blazers quickly overtook the score.

It's true that the Heat have made a lot of targeted reinforcements in order to win the championship this season, but the Big Three's salaries are there, and the owners can't pay the luxury tax endlessly, and that's the downside of building the Big Three, you don't have more room to find the right players.

The Trail Blazers are different, their core players are still very young, and before the time of the maximum salary, Roy and Oden are limited by injuries and are unlikely to take the initiative to ask for high salaries, which gives the management more room to strengthen, Hickson is a good example. Although he came to the Trail Blazers mainly to win the championship, the Trail Blazers also offered him a competitive contract, with both money and honor, how could he not recruit good free agents?

The Heat can only recruit some veterans and rookies to supplement, which is where the biggest gap between the two sides lies.
