"Miami Heat!? The Big Three?! Duan Tianqing asked with a glare. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Haha, yes, that's them! LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh! The Big Three of the Heat, the defending champions, and now the strongest team in the league! Curry almost jumped with excitement, and there was no fear in his eyes that he was about to face a strong opponent, only the excitement of challenging a strong opponent.

"Wow, that's a weighty opponent!" Green said excitedly.

Miami Heat, the hottest team in the league. With a large number of stars, even a superstar like LeBron James. They are, without a doubt, the strongest in this league today.

You know, this team doesn't have a long history, they only joined the league in 1988, and it is a team that belongs to Miami, Florida, USA. Because Florida has a warm and pleasant climate and hot seasons, he named it the Heat, and he hopes that the team will thrive as his name. In the 22 seasons between 1988 and 2010, the Miami Heat made the playoffs 15 times, won 10 conference titles, and won the 2006 NBA championship by beating the Dallas Mavericks 4-2.

In the 2003 draft, they selected Dwyane Wade of Marquette University with the fifth pick in the first round. Since then, with Wade as the cornerstone of the team, the Heat have gradually stepped into the right track. In 2004, the Heat traded for Shaquille O'Neal in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. In the 2005-06 season, Wade and O'Neal led the Heat to the Finals for the first time, and the Dallas Mavericks won their first championship after falling behind 0-2. The Heat also ushered in a peak period, however, as O'Neal aged, his form declined, the team's players changed a lot, and the main players were plagued by injuries. As a result, the Heat were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs the following year, becoming the first defending team to be eliminated in the first round since 2000.

And the following season, because of the departure of veteran players and injuries, the team played a bad season, only won 15 games, and missed the playoffs. As a result, they were named the fastest regressing champion team, which is a somewhat insulting title.

However, this is a thing of the past. Because after two uneventful seasons, in the 2010-2011 season, LeBron James brought talent to Miami. The addition of James, Jr., to the Miami Heat, caused an uproar in the league. Because James was already a superstar at the time, he was going to make a splash wherever he chose to go.

In the end, he chose the Heat, for the sake of the ideal and for the championship, although many people criticized him for being a superstar, but what does it matter. He's already brought too much accolades to Cleveland, and his development with the Cavaliers is at its peak. However, the lack of overall strength still made him lose hope of the championship. He's brought Cleveland so much, so what can Cleveland give him!? So, he left, and in order to pursue his ideals, he chose the Miami Heat. For a player, what a championship trophy means, I am afraid there is no need to go into too much detail. If James chooses to stay with the Cavaliers back then, although he will gain a reputation for loyalty, the team's record is not guaranteed, and the championship really looks like it is far away. Even if James has super individual ability and ability to lead the team at his peak, it is difficult to guarantee the team's record in the face of opponents who are equal to or even better than him in the East.

And even after leaving Cleveland, no one can question his greatness. Guarding a city for the rest of its life, although it is beautiful, is a fairy tale after all. The cold guns of reality always catch you off guard, and not everyone is Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Cleveland is not what a big city like Los Angeles can give Kobe Bryant. Everyone has the right to choose their own life, why should you give a great player a grid and let him die in it because of your own beautiful fantasies!? If you leave, it gives you a reason to abuse!? So ridiculous.

Regardless of what James left Cleveland for the Heat, he deserves a championship because he's great enough.

So, he came to the Heat, so he chose to play with his friend another great player, Dwyane Wade, and pursue his dreams together.

The summer of 2010 was a period of earth-shaking changes for the Heat, and not only the little emperor LeBron James. Also here comes the former Dragon King, Chris Bosh. The Heat triumvirate was officially formed, and the Heat once again became the favorite to win the championship because of this. Another interesting thing is that these three are all rookies in the 2003 class. 03The Platinum Generation officially rules the League.

After a period of running-in in the early part of the season, all three have their own positioning, and the Heat has really risen since then. They entered the playoffs with a second-place finish in the East and eventually made it out of the East. Unfortunately, they still lost to the Mavericks led by Nowitzki, who were at their peak, and fell into the sand. The NBA is a place of wonders, and no one can say that they are 100% sure of the final victory. The loss didn't stop the Heat and their Big Three, but rather took them to the next level.

The following year, they made a comeback under the leadership of the Heat's Big Three. Reached the finals again, but this time the opponent was the talented Thunder Sanshao. Although the opponent is tough, young and full of momentum, he is still a little immature in front of the old and spicy Heat Big Three. In the end, the Heat won four games in a row after losing one game in a row, and defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 4-1.

LeBron James got his wish, received his first NBA championship ring, and won both the regular season MVP and the Finals MVP awards.

This season, while keeping last season's championship-winning lineup basically unchanged, the Heat added sharpshooter Ray Allen and others, and the strength has reached a higher level. It is not an exaggeration to say that this season's Heat team is the strongest team in the league.

The Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, have just struggled out of the quagmire of the fish belly team, even if they have achieved a wave of good results, but no one will compare them with the Miami Heat, and even if they do, they probably just say that the potential of that group of young people is not bad.
