For 37-year-old Tim Duncan, losing the Western Conference Finals again was a big blow.

He'll be 38 next season, the future is always uncertain, and Duncan can't guarantee that he'll be 100 percent healthy next season.

For a veteran at the end of his career, reaching the division finals will not be easy.

The Clippers were ecstatic to receive the award, and the post-game press conference was a commercial blow, and for the local media in San Antonio, they were actually more concerned about how many years Duncan could play:

"Tim, if you lose the Western Conference Finals this year, what are your plans for next season? I think the fans are very concerned about how many years you're going to play? ”

Seeing the question raised by the local reporter, Duncan immediately reassured the fans:

'I don't know how many more years I'll be in form, but next season we're definitely going to make a comeback.'

With the team's cornerstone assured, San Antonio's sports media breathed a sigh of relief.

Duncan's role in the team is still irreplaceable, despite losing tonight, Duncan, who played 43 minutes, 8 of 18, and scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers, is still the best player on the team.

Ginobili and Parker on the side were also wearing gray suits, and compared to Duncan and Ginobili, Parker looked extremely disappointed.

He's got a lot of possession this season and has gradually become the team's No. 1 offensive option, and he played well in the first two series, but except for one explosion in the Western Conference Finals, his performance in the remaining five games was mediocre.

3-of-12, 10 points, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, Parker didn't feel good when he thought that he hadn't played well without Leonard, who had 19 points and 12 rebounds on 8-of-17 shooting.

Li Ze unlocked the playoffs with an average of 40+ points per game, and the Celestial Empire fans on the other side of the ocean were naturally ecstatic, but there were also some McGrady fans who were not very happy:

"Wheat's championship dream is completely shattered, the career is too miserable, it's really difficult to mix up a championship."

"I really hope Maddie wins the championship, that's my youth!"

"It's no play, unless the Clippers sign him next year, the players at the same time as Li Ze are too miserable, not only often lose the best of the week and the best of the month, but also have no championship."

"Haha, there is no scoring king, maybe you can get a few steal kings in a few years, it's best to have a dpoy, so the honor is all!"

"It's miserable! It's really not good, let's choose to join the Clippers, think about Li Ze is not at the peak yet, it's too scary. ”

"Playoffs 40+ Bull X! The triple MVP is well deserved, Li Zeniu X! ”

"It's just enough shots, if I shoot 37 times, I can score 63 points, and the Heat championship!"

"It's only 40+ in the playoffs, but the volute has scored 81 points, and it's all to blame on the garbage management, which caused the volute to tear the Achilles tendon!"

"Can this also be compared? Look at the data, Li Ze has 16 playoff games, averaging 42.4 points per game, this is the first in history, Jordan only has three games, which is negligible, don't compare James and Kobe, the two sides are no longer players of the same level! ”

"The first person in the league! Li Zeniu x! Comi and Jamie don't have to compare and match, first take a triple MVP and then talk. ”

“...”

Before the Clippers returned to the hotel, Li Ze had to do a drug test, and after making a crazy move and getting a high score, the drug test was indispensable.

However, in the new collective bargaining agreement, there is also an interesting clause on drug testing.

In order to ensure fairness, the NBA league's drug testing is third-party testing, but there is a provision in the collective bargaining agreement that players can wait until 90 minutes after being notified before undergoing a detailed examination.

It's a very interesting time, and in the long regular season, using some technology to keep them in shape is the choice of many players.

Just like Li Ze's training team, he once wanted to customize auxin drugs for Li Ze, the side effects of the drugs customized according to the body will not be too high, and the growth hormone metabolism is fast.

With a waiting time of 90 minutes, even if you have just been injected, you can metabolize most of it in this time, and you can almost perfectly avoid drug tests.

Stimulants don't happen without a drop of urine at all...

However, later the trainer Tony and the three found that Li Ze's body was as strong as a cow without technology, and his recovery ability was extremely strong, in this case, the three began to change their thinking and incarnate into the equipment party.

"Boring detection, the league always makes this kind of formalized thing!"

After completing the test, Li Ze complained to Tony, the trainer next to him.

"But it's understandable, playing an average of 44 minutes per game, taking more than 24 shots per game, and hitting more than 5 percent, such a performance, the league will definitely have doubts."

"Fortunately, we don't have to wait 90 minutes, and we can rest for a few days when we go back to Los Angeles tomorrow."

Li Ze heard the discussion of trainers Tony and Wagner, and then it occurred to him that after winning this game, the Clippers could get about a week's rest.

"Play the away finals first, or experience it for the first time!"

On the morning of June 1, the Clippers flew back to Los Angeles, and despite winning the division championship and the Pacific region this season, the Clippers still had no intention of putting the division championship flag in the Staples Arena.

This is also the embarrassment of the two teams sharing the arena, the Lakers are too good, and there are 16 championship flags over the Staples Arena.

Every time the venue was changed, the staff would obscure the Lakers' championship flag.

The most important thing is that the Lakers don't show the banner of the division championship in the Staples Arena, without him, this kind of small championship, the Lakers have won too much.

The same treatment is also given to the Celtics, these two NBA giants, just relying on the championship banner, it is enough to explain the glory of the past.

Steve Ballmer was a little unhappy at the thought of getting the trophy and not being able to show it happily, the old man was recently looking for a place to build a new stadium in addition to preparing to step down as CEO of Microsoft.

Of course, such a large project has also been strongly welcomed by the Los Angeles municipal government, a stadium can drive employment, but also create some economic benefits, at present can be regarded as a joint effort of both sides.

The old man painted a big pie for everyone on the Clippers last night, and even promised that within 2 to 3 years, the Clippers would have their own arena.

On the plane back, Griffin, who was lying in the finals, also came to his senses, and saw Paul on the side watching the game video again, and the surface brothers immediately assured Li Ze beside him:

"Kayce, believe me, I'm definitely going to be able to play in the finals, although I can't get back to my best, but it should be fine to play for more than 20 minutes, uh, maybe the team doctor will be more conservative, but I'll definitely be able to play."

Li Ze put down the magazine in his hand and responded with a smile:

"Don't force yourself, don't forget that there is a big contract in the offseason, health is the most important thing!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, Griffin also thought of activating the "Li Ze" clause, and finally thought about it, and secretly decided in his heart that he must play a role, and lying on the crown is not his pursuit.

Paul frowned a little after watching the footage of the last few games between the Heat and the Pacers, his good brothers LeBron James and Dwyane Wade can both hold the ball, while the defense two, his figure is a little out of place.

Seeing that Griffin on the side was bragging and farting with Li Ze, claiming that he would blow up Bosh, Paul silently thought in his heart:

"The championship will definitely be mine!"

The heat brought by Li Ze has not subsided, but on the night of June 1, the Heat team that got the match point lost again.

At 77:91, the Pacers, who returned to the home court to fight, stubbornly pulled the big score to 3:3, and the two sides will have a tie-break 7 battle.

After the game, Amika's sports media turned against the Pacers en masse, turning into a wall grass and falling to the Pacers again.

LeBron James played 42 minutes, shooting 10-of-21 from the field, including 2-of-4 three-pointers and 7-of-8 free throws, for 29 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers.

The stats look very good, but in the second quarter of the game, the Heat's offense suddenly lost power, scoring only 17 points in a single quarter, while James was 2-of-7 in this quarter and only scored 4 points.

Of course, with their excellent defense, the Heat also limited the Pacers to just 18 points.

However, in the third quarter of the game, the Heat scored 15 points in a single quarter, which made the Heat fans stupid.

All the points came from James and Wade, plus 6 turnovers in a single quarter, which were directly hit by the Pacers.

James was 1-of-3 in the first quarter and scored 6 points, Wade was 3-of-6 and scored 9 points, while the Pacers blossomed more, scoring 29 points in the third quarter and completely winning the game.

Wade was 3-of-11 from the field with 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, and Bosh was 1-of-8 from the field with 5 points and 4 rebounds.

Paul George exploded again, shooting 11-of-19, including 3-of-5 three-pointers, for 28 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 6 turnovers, while Royin Hibbert was 11-of-20 for 24 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers.

After the game, Amerika's media reporter remembered that the Heat team had an old problem of offensive power outages, and then everyone thought of Li Ze, 15 points in a single quarter, which is really as simple as drinking water...

Perhaps he didn't expect to lose the game, at the post-game press conference, LeBron James said with a very serious expression:

"We have to have more people come up and score, I like to tie the seven, the day after tomorrow, I'm going to give it my all!"

It's just that James' assurances haven't received much recognition, and some sports media have even bet that the Pacers will make it to the Finals.

The seven-game tie-break, a game to determine the winner or loser, the NBA league is simply smiling, the West has Li Ze 63 points and 40+ points per game in the playoffs, and the East has a tie-break 7 battle, this script is very satisfying.

Fans are also happy to see the tie-breaker, but for the Clippers, everyone doesn't care much about the situation in the East, and the team attaches great importance to reaching the Finals for the first time.

Coach De Nagro even pushed down a lot of interviews just to give his players an undisturbed training environment.

The NBA league and Fox Sports are not affected, and they continue to conduct daily interviews, and Fox Sports also broadcasts the Clippers' workouts to Los Angeles fans on a daily basis.

Compared with other teammates, Li Ze seems very relaxed, after all, he has played the finals for two consecutive years, and the training on the morning of the 2nd has just ended.

"Kayce, which team would you prefer to play against in the finals?"

Hearing such a question, Li Ze just replied with a smile:

"It doesn't make much difference to me who the opponent is! I'm confident of winning the championship and now it's just a matter of getting in shape. ”

Although these words are a bit arrogant, the reporter of Fox Sports even felt that what Li Ze said was reasonable when he thought that Li Ze could score 63 points in the high-intensity playoffs and average 40+ points per game in the series.

On the evening of June 3, the American Airlines arena was full, and the Eastern Conference Finals was full of 7 battles, which was also the seventh game of the 2012~2013 playoffs.

But after the end of the first half, many fans even wanted to shout: That's it?

At halftime, Paul George got lost in the Heat's defense, scoring just five points on 1-of-6 shooting in the half.

In the second quarter, the Pacers played a wave against the Heat, 16:33, and lost directly to the opponent by 17 points.

The score of 33:52 also disappointed many fans, unlike the fierce tie-break battle they expected, the game was over just after the beginning.

In the second half, the Pacers were still powerless, and in the end, 76:99, the Heat eliminated the Pacers 4:3 and successfully entered the Finals again!

As soon as the game ended, LeBron James shouted excitedly.

In this game, he played 41 minutes, 8 of 17, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, 15 of 16 free throws, 32 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers.

Wade was also very excited, standing in front of the technical table, facing the audience and constantly waving his fists to celebrate, in such an important game, 7 of 17, cut 21 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 4 turnovers, and did not pull at the critical moment!

Chris Bosh also followed the wow wow yell, 3 of 13, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, 9 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks and 1 turnover.

The American Airlines arena was jubilant, and the Heat fans were screaming, there was no Thunder this year, and this would be their best chance to win the championship!

That night, the NBA League took the opportunity to send a preview of the Finals.

At 21 o'clock in the evening of the 6th, the finals G1 officially began!

The Heat's third consecutive Finals appearance is definitely a remarkable achievement and a testament to the Heat's dominance in the Eastern Conference.

Despite losing two championships, LeBron James is still one of the league's top stars, and this year's Finals is full of gimmicks.

Whether it was the successful Heat team that successfully started the dynasty, or Li Ze, who was a three-time MVP, won the honor again, fans were frantically discussing for a while.

The Clippers conducted video sessions and recovery training sessions step by step, and Coach De Nagro did not emphasize too much tactical details, and Griffin would not have too much playing time, so the team was still the same old routine.

In addition, the Heat team can be regarded as a big and four small lineup, and the Clippers are destined to make personnel adjustments, but fortunately, the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals have already taught everyone a lesson, so everyone is also mentally prepared.

On the 5th, the Clippers flew to Miami and reached the Finals, and naturally they did not have home-court advantage.

However, considering that the format is still 232, overall, there is not much of a problem.

If they can steal a win on the road, then the Clippers will have a chance to end the series at home, and for the Heat, two home games cannot be missed.

The NBA League took the opportunity to release a warm-up video of the Finals on ABC Channel that night, and the Clippers and Heat mixed the highlights of the season of the two teams.

With "Big Things Are Ing!" "The slogan is indeed very exciting!

And in the trailer of the subsequent player interview, the league even jokingly asked Paul a question:

“paul！ We all know that you and LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are very good friends, did you have any contact before the game? ”

Paul laughed a little, and then replied solemnly:

"We just sent each other a message of congratulations and I'm completely focused on the game at the moment!"

The interview was filmed in Los Angeles, and Paul was telling the truth, after coming to Miami, he also politely refused the hospitality of James and Wade...

Wade was a little dissatisfied with the fact that the little brother's wings were stiff, although he didn't like the name #Jamesgang very much, but the game was a game, and friendship was a friendship, Wade felt that he had to teach Paul a good lesson!

On the night of the 6th, the American Airlines arena was full, the Heat fans entered early, and everyone changed into white cheering T-shirts.

Witnessing the Thunder receiving the award at home for the second year in a row has hurt a lot of Heat fans.

However, everyone firmly believes that the Heat team, which has won 24 consecutive games this season, has reached its peak, and considering that the Clippers still have injuries, many fans have long shouted the slogan of the Heat championship on Reddit!

In the home team's locker room, Coach Spo also had some emotion in his heart, and finally had a home advantage this year!

The team is on the right track, the opponent has been replaced by the Clippers, and Coach Spo firmly believes that the Heat, with the Big Three, can definitely win the championship!

"Patience! Be patient defensively, and be patient on offense! ”

"Take advantage of the offensive space on the court, just like we did before the game, break through, split the ball, find opportunities on the perimeter and put the ball in the basket!"

"We have to believe in each other, victory is ours in the end!"

Coach Spo's chicken soup level is average, but for the Big Three, there is no need for encouragement at all, and the three of them are screaming and rushing up, they need the championship too much.

After analyzing the Clippers' tactical play, the Heat coaching staff referred to the performance of the Clippers in the playoffs, and then formulated a set of simple and crude tactics.

One big and four small, open up the offensive space, take turns to hold the ball, and quickly break through the ball.

Coach Spo firmly believes that Li Ze will definitely stay in front of James, so there will be opportunities on Wade's side.

When the DJ of the Heat team briefly introduced the Clippers team, the lights on the scene were completely dimmed, and then with the wonderful shots on the big screen in the center of the court, they immediately shouted frantically to introduce the Heat players to play.

The fans at the scene also cheered constantly, especially when LeBron James's name was read, and the atmosphere in the American Airlines Arena instantly reached a climax!

As the lights returned to normal and the fans were still screaming, Jeff Van Gundy began to make his prediction again in the commentary booth of ESPN:

"I love watching Kayce play, but basketball is five-man, and even though the Heat's playoffs weren't all smooth sailing, I'm sure they'll win the championship under James' leadership!"

"Chalmers and Wade in the backcourt, LeBron James and Haslem on the front, Chris Bosh at center, this lineup can be inside and out, and it will be difficult for the Clippers to completely limit the Heat's outside line"

Commentator Mike Brin nodded his head and then gave the audience of the game a change to the Clippers' starting lineup:

"Griffin, who came out injured, is back in the starting lineup, and at the No. 3 position, the Clippers are still Matt Barnes, and it's clear that Coach De Nagro trusts the veteran more."

The referee motioned for the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, and seeing that the game was about to start, the DJ on the scene began to shout loudly with the audience:

“lets go heat！ lets go heat！ lets go heat！ ”

Griffin wore a thick armor on his left knee, and the apparent brother looked intently at little Jordan who was about to jump ball.

Chris Paul, who was next to Li Ze, also looked serious, and after more than six days of rest, Paul's fitness has returned to his best condition.

Compared with other teammates, Li Ze looks relaxed, and the Heat are his old opponents!

In the rhythmic cheering of the Heat to the fans, Jordan Jr. easily jumped to the ball for the Clippers with his excellent jumping.

After receiving the ball, Paul immediately dribbled quickly across the half court, and just as Chalmers wanted to defend, Paul gave the ball directly to Griffin in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

Then cut straight inside, take away the defense, and quickly run to the bottom right corner.

Griffin was not in a hurry to attack after receiving the ball, and due to a knee injury, the rest of the game would play high positions, cover well, and transition the ball by the way to help the team open up space.

In the bottom corner of the left side, Wade faced Li Ze, while constantly aiming at the movements of the Clippers players, when Li Ze leaned on Wade and started to accelerate, Wade blocked the line as soon as possible, not giving Li Ze a chance to hand over the ball.

The two continued to entangle, but when approaching the left flank, Li Ze suddenly made a reverse running feint, which shook Wade for a moment, and when he wanted to reach out again, Li Ze had already rushed to Griffin's side and successfully received a hand-handed pass.

The moment he received the ball, Li Ze immediately put the ball with his right hand and broke through in a step, Wade was hung up by Griffin, and hurriedly shouted at Haslem:

"Put it on!"

For this old opponent, Li Ze is very familiar, the height of the two is almost the same, Haslem has just changed the defense, Li Ze just lowered the center of gravity and simply accelerated.

Feeling the desperate sliding step on his side, when Li Ze broke through to the free throw line, he suddenly took his left foot as the axis, quickly splinted the top, and after a big stride, he came directly to the bottom left of the basket.

Haslem's turn and defense were slow, and he saw Li Ze leaning on his body, tilting his body, completing the throw with his left hand, and subconsciously jumping up to block, but instead of covering the ball, he hit Li Ze's left hand.

"My bowl!"

"Squeak! Swish! ”

When the whistle blew and the ball went in, the American Airlines arena suddenly erupted into a burst of noise, and it was clear that the fans were not satisfied with the decision.

Li Ze and the Clippers simply high-fived and celebrated, and then smiled, stood on the free throw line, and hit the free throw steadily!

Coach Spo on the sidelines has long been aware of the change in Li Ze's playoff style this season.

If in the first three years, Li Ze was mainly based on jump shots, played quite healthily, and relied on rhythm for breakthroughs, then Li Ze in this year's playoffs has almost become a super strengthened version of Derrick Rose, who doesn't care about knee consumption at all, and breaks through explosive growth.

For the Heat, who have average interior rim protection ability, it has become more difficult to defend Li Ze, and head coach Spo made a downward gesture to his players, signaling everyone to act according to plan.

After Chalmers dribbled past half court, LeBron James quickly found that it was Li Ze who was opposite him.

quickly came to the right wing outside the three-point line to receive the ball, LeBron James saw that Li Ze's defense took another small step, and after standing on the three-point line, the corners of his mouth twitched.

James immediately gave Bosh a look, and then made a pick-and-roll cover at the right elbow of the free throw line.

Li Ze directly chose to go off the line, and at the same time, Little Jordan stepped forward for the first time to delay, and when he saw Li Ze sticking up again, Little Jordan immediately returned to Bosh.

And at the moment of this defense, James's ground-hitting pass was immediately given to the disassembled Bosh, who received the ball in the right blocking area and shook it, and then broke through with the ball in his right hand and went straight to the basket!

Jordan Jr. was caught off guard, and before he could slide to defend, he was deftly cut by Bosh and scored two points after three steps on a layup.

“chris bosh！！”

As the DJ shouted Bosh's name, the American Airlines Arena erupted in loud cheers.

Xiao Qiao's scalp was a little numb, and he finally carried the impact of the western inner line, and when he came to the finals, he encountered a flexible breakthrough...

The Clippers quickly sent out the baseline, and this time Li Ze dribbled across the half court with the ball.

As soon as the logo position was established, Wade suddenly grabbed it, and then immediately took a big step back.

Li Ze simply protected the ball with his back, and after a tactical operation, Paul on the right wing suddenly quickly cut the bottom line, and then with the help of Griffin's cover in the left blocking area, he easily bounced out to the left wing to receive the ball.

Just as Chalmers' defense was about to be pasted, Griffin moved two more steps up and covered again, and Paul, who was holding the ball in his right hand, immediately accelerated to break through and get rid of Chalmers's pursuit, and then was delayed by Haslem.

The ground-hitting pass gave an advance, and Griffin, who was down, easily received the ball, dribbled it, and immediately took off into the air, seeing Bosh come up to make up for it, and gave the ball to Jordan Jr. on the other side, who received the ball and poured the basket with both hands!

"Boom!" Eat bread under the basket!

"The Clippers played their classic combination, and obviously, the Heat had some issues with the No. 4 defense, which is somewhat similar to what happened in the regular season."

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head slightly when he saw the situation on the court, and the Heat team has always had problems with its interior defense.

A lot of times, LeBron James will even switch to the No. 4 position, and while this does solve the problem, it will take James' physical drain.

In the next few rounds, the Heat quickly responded with Haslem defending Matt Barnes and LeBron James officially taking the No. 4 spot.

This defense directly changed the defensive form of the Heat, and the low post could not punish James, coupled with the flexible defensive footsteps, made the Clippers rely on Li Ze's offense again.

At the moment of receiving Paul's pass, Li Ze took his left foot as the axis, turned to the bottom line, and threw a backward jump shot that drifted behind the right side!

"Huh!" Scored again in the middle distance!

Wade was a little helpless, he did his best on the defensive end, but he couldn't do anything about this exaggerated mid-range.

At 13:11, with 6 minutes and 31 seconds left in the first quarter, head coach Spo called a timeout.

Boos began to sound at the scene again, Li Ze looked serious, and I have to say that LeBron James, who defended to the No. 4 position, did successfully complete the task, with strong mobility, with excellent bounce ability, the cake was out of cake for a while.

Coach De Nagro was a little hesitant that the team needed to attack, but also needed to defend, and in the end he just replaced Griffin and brought on Turiaf.

After re-appearing, the Clippers' coaching staff regretted it a little, and the Heat simply took Haslem and replaced him with Sean Battier.

The Heat team completely turned into a five-out lineup, and at the same time, Battier began to be responsible for defending Li Ze and liberating Wade.

After only two minutes of play, Wade was completely alive, blocking and dismantling at the No. 5 position, breaking twice in a row, and easily scoring points.

Without a defensive mandate and facing Matt Barnes on the offensive end, Wade managed to show his offensive ability.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, he even staged the signature action of catching the ball from the bottom line and breaking through and turning around quickly.

"Ahh

Wade, who succeeded in dunking, screamed, and at the same time there were words in his mouth, standing under the basketball hoop and beating his chest!

LeBron James, who played to the No. 4 position, successfully activated the Heat team, but at this time, the chosen son was very depressed, looked at Li Ze next to him, and cursed in his heart.

In the first half of the game, in addition to contributing on the defensive end, there are no sports goals on the offensive end, several tank breakthroughs, and the same iron after interference, and finally can only give the offensive ball to good brother Wade.

Coach De Nagro looked at Ray Allen on the bench and then at Tucker, but in the end there were no substitutions.

Chris Paul, who was a little anxious, immediately gestured and motioned for him to defend Wade behind.

As a result, Chalmers scored two more three-pointers through Bosh's blocking!

The American Airlines arena erupted in a tsunami of cheers, all the Heat fans were shouting wildly, and the Clippers suddenly lost their offensive rhythm at the end of the first quarter.

At 24:28, in the first quarter of the game, the Heat managed to lead by 4 points.

The coach of the Clippers didn't expect Wade to explode so badly, making 4 of 6 singles and scoring 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

What's even more lethal is that the Clippers' outside defensive resources can't keep up with the Heat, and despite Chris Paul's hard work, the height gap still makes it very difficult for him to defend Wade.

"The Heat's big four lineup worked, and although James was 1-of-4 in the first quarter and only scored 2 points, he was the absolute core of the Heat on the defensive end!"

Jeff Van Gundy incarnated as James and praised James wildly.

In the first quarter of the game, the Heat set the tone for the game, and with Mike Miller, Rashad Lewis, and Norris Kerr all scoring three-pointers in the next game, the Heat's offense was completely open.

With the blessing of the home atmosphere, everyone worked bravely for a while...

When there was 1 minute 01 second left in the game, Li Ze was replaced with a calm expression.

Coach De Nagro is still frowning, and his ace-to-ace tactics seem to have gone awry.

In the huge cheers of the Heat fans, in the end, at 98:106, the Heat team successfully ushered in a good start.

Although LeBron James was 6-of-17 from the field, including 1-of-3 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, and only had 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, he was still in a good mood and said with a smile in the post-game interview:

"Like I promised, we're going to keep winning, and as for Chris, I love playing against him and I can't wait for the next fight..."
