In the second quarter of the game, the Heat's offensive rhythm was worse than the first quarter, because James's hand was also affected by the Rockets who began to shrink the defense, and the shooting rate began to decline.

In the entire second quarter of the game, the Heat scored only 17 points as a team, which was not as good as the first quarter.

At halftime, the score of the two teams was 36:54, and the Heat trailed by 18 points at their home court, which was the largest halftime difference in the finals so far, and the Heat's halftime score of 36 points was also quite ugly, which disappointed the Heat home fans.

In the second half, the Heat's offensive rhythm finally returned to normal, but the hole dug in front was big enough, and even if the Heat, who found their offensive rhythm, did not surpass the Rockets in the third quarter, the score of the two sides in the third quarter was 24:26, and the Heat only recovered 2 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Heat, who were eager to catch up with the point difference, did not play as well as the third quarter.

The home fans of the Heat team have been completely silent at this time, no longer the passionate cheering for the team at the beginning of the game, and even many fans have been disappointed to get up and leave the court early.

Losing this game, the Heat is 3:0, as last year's defending champion, such a score, such a game process is simply humiliating.

In the last five minutes of the game, although the Big Three of James Wade Bosh remained on the court tenaciously, it was just unwilling to face reality.

"Squeak——!

By the time the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the stands at the American Airlines Center were empty.

At 101:82, the disparity in the score was like a bloody reality, which made the enthusiastic Heat fans poured a bucket of ice water on their heads, and they were cold from head to toe.

The failure of this game means that the Heat team has fallen behind 0:3, and it is almost impossible to defend the championship, not to mention how difficult it is to turn the tables on four consecutive match points.

Not to mention that the score is 0:3 now, even if it is 1:2, it is completely impossible for the Heat to win the entire series.

Unlike the last game in which the Big Three combined for 85 points, today's Heat Big Three performed a collective hip pull, James scored 16 points, 11 rebounds and 5 shots on 7-of-15 shooting, Wade scored 15 points and 5 assists on 7-of-21 shooting, and Bosh got 12 points and 10 rebounds on 4-of-10 shooting......

The three of them combined scored only 43 points, and the Rockets scored 33 points for Wang Chao alone.

How is this game still played?

After the game, everyone on the Rockets' side had a bright smile on their faces, especially the two veterans of Da Yao and Garnett, the championship is only one step away from them, everyone knows the importance of the NBA championship for a professional player, if there is a championship, whether it is Garnett or Da Yao, the historical status will rise, especially Garnett, as a superstar who has won the regular season MVP and the best defensive player DPOY, and has been selected to the best team 9 times in his career, If there is no crown for life, the historical status will be greatly reduced.

Compared with the championship that was supposed to win the championship in the 07-08 season, Garnett, although he is 35 years old, has passed the peak of his strength, a bit like a championship won by lying on his thighs, and the gold content is slightly devalued.

But in fact, Garnett is still quite important in the Rockets, although Garnett in the 12-13 season is old, but he still has some combat effectiveness, but he dedicates all his energy to the defense of the Rockets, making up for the lack of mobility in Da Yao's interior defense, helping the Rockets to construct a solid defensive system, making the Rockets one of the main contributors to the 72-10 record in the regular season.

The league now generally refers to Wang Chao, Da Yao, and Garnett as the Big Three, and if they win the championship this season, Wang Chao will most likely win the finals FMVP, but Da Yao and Garnett are definitely the main contributors to winning the championship, and the credit will not be much worse than the original 07-08 season when the Big Three of the Green Army won the championship.

Moreover, even if the Celtics won the championship in the 07-08 season, the Finals FMVP was finally awarded to Paul. Pierce instead of Garnett, who is more famous and contributed.

As for Da Yao, if he can win the championship, he will also be the second star champion center of the Rockets since Olajuwon, and his historical status has risen sharply, and it is conservatively estimated that it is possible to jump into the top 50 or even the top 30 in history.

Wang Chao is very clear that the future alliance will officially select the 75 superstars on the 75th anniversary, and Da Yao regrettably failed to be selected.

Indeed, with the honors that Da Yao originally won in the NBA, even considering his influence, it is still a bit reluctant to be selected for the top 75.

But now it's different, with a championship blessing and a career that has been extended, Da Yao has been selected to the All-Star team eight times, and his historical status is bound to rise.

Although there is no regular season MVP, Da Yao's historical status is a little worse than Garnett, who also won the first championship of his career.

Of course, in terms of status improvement, Garnett and Da Yao are not as good as Wang Chao combined, because this will be the fifth championship of Wang Chao's career.

Four consecutive MVPs and five championships, Wang Chao is about to be 30 years old, and he has won more honors than 99% of the stars in NBA history.

The stars who can suppress Wang Chao in terms of honor no longer exist among the active players, and even if you look at the history of the league, there are only Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain in ancient times.

Even the famous Magic Johnson, who has won five championships in his career, has now been surpassed by Wang Chao because he only has three regular season MVP awards!

No, it's a bit unrigorous to say that it has been surpassed, because the finals are not over at this time, 3:0 is not 4:0, and the Rockets and Heat still have games to play.

It's just that everyone knows very well that it is only a matter of time before the Rockets defeat the Heat to win the championship, whether it is a direct and simple 4-0 sweep to win the championship, or whether the Heat can win a game and save some face as the defending champion a little, there is only this difference.

On June 13, the fourth game of the finals, the suspense was revealed.

The Heat still couldn't hold on to their bottoms in front of the powerful and almost terrifying Rockets, losing the game 87-104 and being swept out with a total score of 4-0.

James also tried his best in this game, trying to turn the tide, scoring 31 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, but Wade had 11 points and Bosh 13 points.

Under the Rockets' ironclad defense, only the Big Three scored double-doubles in the whole Heat team, and they lost the game without resistance.

At full play, the stands were silent, with only a handful of Rockets fans who had traveled all the way from Houston to Miami cheering loudly in celebration.

The Big Three of the Heat were expressionless, although they were very unwilling, they still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor and hugged and congratulated Wang Chao and others of the Rockets, and immediately walked to the player tunnel without looking back after congratulating.

The Rockets, on the other hand, have become a sea of joy, with the young players hugging and shouting and jumping excitedly, while the veterans can't help but shed tears of excitement.

Da Yao and Garnett burst into tears, only veterans who have played in the league for more than ten years can understand how difficult and difficult it is to win a championship, such a mood is incomprehensible to young players, of course, Wang Chao, who has five championships in hand, can't understand.

Not only Da Yao and Garnett, but the Rockets' championship this time also fulfilled the championship dream of Kidd and O'Neal Jr.

Also because of Wang Chao, Kidd, who was supposed to win the championship with the Mavericks in the 10-11 season, is also hard to find a championship before this year.

It's just that Kidd and O'Neal Jr. are a little different than Garnett.

is also a veteran who won the championship with the team, Garnett is the main starter of the Rockets, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the team's entire defensive system, and is the absolute core.

But Kidd and O'Neal Jr. are different.

The 40-year-old Kidd, who is old and slow on the court, has no competitive ability at all, and can only rely on rich experience and overall vision to control the rhythm of the team on the bench, and his role on the Rockets off the court is more on the court, because Kidd has begun to pave the way for his coaching after retirement, and will actively participate in the team's daily training planning and tactics.

It must be admitted that Kidd's emotional intelligence is very high, and he is worthy of being the league's most well-known organizational strategy master, he knows very well who is the boss of the Rockets now, and even the general manager and head coach have to look at Wang Chao's face to act, so Kidd's behavior in the Rockets this season revolves around Wang Chao, although he does not have McHale's kneeling and licking level, but he has also successfully gained a lot of popularity in the team, even Wang Chao has a little affection for Kidd.

Of course, Wang Chao knows very well in his heart that this is just a disguise by Kidd to achieve some purposes, this guy is very thief, and after becoming the head coach of the NBA in the future, all kinds of commotion operations will emerge in an endless stream, and even when he was a player, this guy was not a good man and a woman, and it was strange enough to be able to fight with his teammates because of a woman in the night game.

Late in the regular season, Kidd vaguely expressed to the team that he wanted to serve on the team's coaching staff after retiring.

But this kind of thing, of course, head coach McHale can't be the master, and he must ask the emperor Wang Chao, and Wang Chao can't let Kidd stay on the Rockets coaching staff.

Kidd was an ambitious man, and whether it was later in his time with the Nets or the Bucks, he was not satisfied with just being a team head coach, but also wanted to double the job of the team's general manager, like Phil. Jackson, Popovich, Pat Riley are so firmly in the hands of the team.

The Rockets are now Wang Chao's team, and he certainly can't tolerate anyone else's interference.

——

Since the Rockets won the championship at the home of the Heat, the American Airlines arena became the venue for the Rockets to present awards after winning the championship.

There are not many spectators left in the stands, and those who remain are basically die-hard fans of the Rockets, or just to see the excitement, not Rockets or Heat fans.

Although the atmosphere is cold, it does not affect the good mood of the Rockets players at all, this is the NBA championship after all, except for Wang Chao, no one else in the team has had such an experience.

After receiving the O'Brien Cup and holding it high, the Rockets all smiled brightly at the camera.

Wang Chao followed closely from the legendary Bill. Russell took the Finals FMVP trophy in his hands, which was the fourth Finals FMVP trophy in his career, and he still deserved it.

In the four games that swept the Heat in the finals, Wang Chao averaged 29.2 points, 9.3 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game, although he failed to replicate the average triple-double per game during the regular season, but his personal data is still the most luxurious and beautiful boy in the game.

Everyone knows that the reason why the Rockets are so strong, Wang Chao is the main key, two years ago, when Wang Chao first arrived at the Rockets, no one thought that this Rockets team would become the favorites to win the championship after having Wang Chao, after all, their lineup is too poor.

Except for Da Yao, an all-star player, the team is full of a group of role players and rookie rookies, but it is this lineup, the Rockets went all the way to the Finals last season, if it weren't for Da Yao's injury, it would not be impossible to beat the Heat to win the championship.

And this season, after adding Garnett, the team's strength has made a qualitative leap, with 72 wins in the regular season and all wins in the playoffs, and the dominance is completely full.

You must know that even the Bulls, who won 72 in the 95-96 season, lost three games after entering the playoffs.

O'Neal's OK pair, which partnered with Kobe Bryant at his peak, did not taste defeat in the West in the playoffs, but in the finals against Iverson, who scored 48 points in a single game, he also lost a game.

Similarly, the 16-17 Warriors joined by Durant in the future can be called the strongest in history, sweeping all the way in the West, but the Cavaliers who defeated 4-1 in the finals won the championship.

In the history of the NBA, no team has ever won the playoffs before the Rockets.

If you count the preseason, regular season and playoffs, the Rockets have only lost 10 games in total this season!

With the Rockets winning the championship, many people have compared this Rockets team with the original 72-win Bulls team and argued, some people think that the 72-win Bulls are stronger, and some people argue that the Rockets with an offensive core inside and outside, a complete defensive system, and a luxurious rotation lineup are better.

Of course, this kind of discussion between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong will not be fruitful, no matter who is stronger or weaker between the 72-win Bulls and this Rocket, there is no doubt that the Rockets are now the strongest team in the league.

Thankfully, this phenomenal superpower team won't last long.

The reason is very simple, after the end of this season, next season, among the Heat's Big Three, Da Yao will be 34 years old, and Garnett will be 38 years old.

Without the dominance of Da Yao and Garnett, although the Rockets rely on Wang Chao and gradually grow up, the promising combination of Butler and Leonard outside partners in the future will still be the top team in the league and have a strong ability to compete for championships, but it will definitely not reach the level of this season.

What's more, by next summer, Thomas Jr. and Chandler Jr. on the Rockets' bench. Parsons' rookie contract will expire, and even to weaken the Rockets, teams in the league will compete for the two offers, and even in another year, the Rockets will face the same problem when Leonard and Butler's rookie contracts expire.

Of course, this is a headache for the Rockets' management and coaching staff, and Wang Chao will not feel a little troubled by this at all.
