Miami.

American Airlines Center Arena.

Now the Timberwolves have a 2-0 lead over the Heat, and if they can win this game, then the Heat will fall behind 0-3.

What does it mean to be 3-0 down?

There has never been a team in history that has fallen behind 0-3 and turned the tables, and if the Heat can't hold on to this home court, it can basically be said that the Heat will withdraw from the championship this season.

The Heat fans still filled the American Airlines Center, and despite the team's disappointing performance in the first two games, it was their home team after all.

After defending this game and bringing the score to 1-2, then adjust your mentality and reorganize your morale and fight back.

The Heat didn't dare to let up this time, but so did the Timberwolves.

As Ibaka, who has played in the Finals and was eliminated by the Heat, this game is particularly serious.

In the dressing room, Ibaka was emotionally charged and mobilized the emotions of his other teammates.

Not only Ibaka, but also everyone else's desire for a championship is also very high.

Iguodala is also very eager for the cake that Su Chen painted for him, it is FMVP, and after the previous games, it has been confirmed that he does have the possibility of getting FMVP.

Iguodala no longer has the offensive ability he had at his peak, but it is also an honor to get the FMVP in this way.

Lore Deng and Butler were traded by the Bulls, and the players who were traded were somewhat emotional.

When they played the Bulls in the regular season, they were both ruthless.

Winning a championship as a key player is the most powerful response to the Bulls' management.

And Josh Smith, whose peak is also almost over, and in the way that the Eagles gave up.

At his current age, he is also very hungry for a championship.

Rookies may still be ignorant of the current NBA, and they don't have such a personal feeling about the meaning of the championship.

But the main members of the team are all fighting for the championship, and if any rookie dares to paddle, he will not be able to treat this team well.

And these rookies are not really without a little fighting spirit.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is really ruthless, and even after a few seasons, the story of Antetokounmpo is still circulating.

He is the kind of person who is really able to do whatever it takes to win, how can he paddle openly.

Secondly, Covington, who lost the draft, and Beverley, who couldn't play for a while, these people also have the spirit of hard work.

They don't have to think about it to know that if they can become an important member of the championship team, then they basically don't have to worry about the contract later.

It's kind of based on this alliance.

With most of the team being ruthless, the atmosphere of the whole team is that of a championship challenge, and both rookies and veterans now have only one common goal.

Su Chen on the sidelines also had a serious face.

He didn't take the Heat carelessly just because he was leading 2-0.

There are not many players who can play in this Heat, and it all depends on James.

But the name Wade still needs to be guarded against, Wade is crazy, maybe he can really return to a small peak.

Eric Spoelstra is also not a mediocre coach, he is really capable and cannot let Eric Spoelstra slow down.

At the same time, they also have the all-time scorer of Ray Allen.

Before Curry played, Ray Allen was basically the all-time leading scorer.

Don't look at Ray Allen at the age of 38 and underestimate him, in fact, Ray Allen stopped playing because he still continued to train, and there were teams trying to recruit Ray Allen.

It was a game that both coaches wanted to win very much.

The two didn't talk much when they shook hands before the game, and it was clear that they were real enemies at the moment.

There was no such thing as talking to the players on both sides before the game, and it was all tense overall.

Both starters enter the field.

Heat starting lineup: Chris Bosh (C), Sean Battier (PF), LeBron James (SF), Ray Allen (SG), Dwayne Wade (PG)

Timberwolves starting lineup: Sergi Ibaka (C), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Lore Deng (SF), Andre Iguodala (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG)

The Timberwolves' lineup has not changed, and they still continue this set of starters, after all, they are the winner and do not need to actively change the lineup.

After losing two games in a row, Erik Spoelstra changed lineups.

Lewis and Chanmos were dropped off the bench.

Eric Spoelstra was looking at the two defenders and saw that they had to be pressed.

Even if Battier's form has declined a lot this season, at least Battier still has a bit of a defensive foundation, at least a good defensive sense or something.

Lewis's defensive habits at the peak of his career were very average, and now that he has become a veteran, his speed has dropped, which makes Lewis's shortcomings even more obvious.

His three-point accuracy is there, but the points he throws are not worth the points he loses.

Lewis going down would make the Heat's accuracy drop, so Eric Spoelstra put Ray Allen as a starter.

Although Ray Allen is also old, he is the same as Battier, their defensive foundation is still there.

Even the failure of defense is basically due to ability problems, and the ball that Lewis has is really a matter of pure consciousness to let the opposite side score points in vain.

Eric Spoelstra has worked hard to make this adjustment, after all, there are only a few players who can play for the Heat.
