Unstoppable

In the middle of the 2012-13 season, the Heat's performance was not as good as expected. At this time, "President" Battier gave a team speech to motivate the team.

A fateful showdown

In the playoffs of the same year, the Heat were spared in the first two rounds, but they were stubbornly blocked by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals. Wade was in extremely poor condition due to knee discomfort. At that time, coach Spoelstra decided to reduce the game time to relieve Wade's knee pain. Wade immediately rejected the coach's proposal. The knee fluid was removed in advance so that it could help the team, which boosted the team's morale to a certain extent. With the concerted efforts of the Big Three, the Heat defeated the Pacers in the seventh game and reached the Finals for the third consecutive year.

Ray Allen!

In the Finals, James' outside accuracy was abnormal, which caused the Heat to struggle all the way: On June 12, the Heat defeated the Spurs 77-113 in an away game by 36 points, with a net loss of 36 points, setting a record for the playoffs in the team's history. Losing points record. Game 6 of the Finals became a classic game in NBA history. Ray Allen's step-back three-pointer in regular time completed the Heat's self-salvation. Before the start of the next season, when someone asked Popovich "how often he thinks of this miraculous three-pointer," the old coach laughed at himself without losing his humor: "Not often anymore. It used to be once a day, but now it's only once a week." I will think of it once."

Back to the starting line

Killer Ray saved the Heat, backed by the support of the Big Three: Before the end of the first half, Wade's knee injury recurred again. , gritted his teeth and persisted to finish the game; in the fourth quarter, after his headband was knocked off, LeBron was like the Monkey King taking off the curse, leading the team to a desperate counterattack from 10 points behind; in the end, "Really Giant "Bosh" used a block to completely pull the Heat back from the brink of elimination.

Back-to-back championships

In Game 7 of the Finals, Bosh made 0 of 5 shots, 1 point, and 5 fouls. He only had 7 rebounds and 2 assists. With assists and 1 block, he almost changed from the hero of the previous game to the intoxicating factor of the team's failure. But fortunately, LeBron performed well under the Spurs' "let you shoot" tactics, scoring 37 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, helping the Heat defeat the Spurs with difficulty and win the championship trophy. Compared with the championship in the shortened season, this championship is full of gold. The scene of Wade treating his knees with champagne after the game is moving.

Win Declaration

LeBron said after winning the championship: "The first championship belongs to Wade. We proved to him that he is still the greatest athlete in the world; and today This championship belongs to me, and I don't care what the outside world says about me. I'm LeBron James, a kid from Akron, Ohio. Every night I walk into the locker room and see No. 6, and I know God. Take care of me. So it doesn’t matter if everyone comments on me.”

It’s not that enemies don’t get together

However, the Heat still entered the playoffs as the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Whether it was the young Bobcats, the veteran Nets, or the The "most challenging" Pacers did not cause any trouble to the Heat. After eliminating the Pacers with a big score of 4-2, the Heat entered the finals for the fourth consecutive year and became the third team in history to enter the finals for four consecutive years. Finals team. Heat president Pat Riley registered the "3-peat" (three consecutive championships) trademark in advance and is confident that the Heat can achieve three consecutive championships.

The dominance has not yet been achieved

But the fact is that the fortune teller was slapped in the face this time, and the slap was very painful: the Heat had almost no power to fight back against the Spurs, 1 to 4. Soon to be defeated. After the Finals, Riley's helplessness over LeBron's fate seemed to foreshadow the ending. The era of the Heat's Big Three came to an end with LeBron's return home.

"Team Spirit" Wade

About Wade: Looking back on the entire era of the Big Three, we also look back on Wade's transformation from the Flash in the past to the time when he was troubled by injuries and appeared to be "incorruptible and old" In the process, Wade was repeatedly tortured by his trapped knee. This summer, Wade even fell into a situation where the Heat gave up for a while. For him who exists like a totem of the Heat, it has to be said to be a kind of irony.

"True Giant" Bosh

About Bosh: LeBron said that without Bosh, we would not be able to reach our current heights. For the championship. Wade sacrificed his position as the core of the team, so why not Bosh? From the King of the North to the "real giant" ridiculed by fans, Bosh has always been the ignored one among the Big Three, but it is precisely because of his ability inside and outside that LeBron and Wade have room to break through. , data decline + change of play style, maybe he is the one who sacrifices the most among the Big Three.

"Businessman" LeBron

LeBron, the Big Three were born because of him, but fell apart because of his voluntary departure. He came to the South Coast for his brothers, and when he saw After the Heat declined, he returned to his hometown to revitalize Kecheng: "Business is business" is the most objective evaluation of his two decisions.

Janeway Connection

LeBron and Wade have a lot of wonderful moments if one of them gets them, and the Heat are lucky enough to get both of them, and the fans are also lucky enough to see the two strolling around. Completed picturesque cooperation time after time. The once unsolvable "Janeway Connection" combination has also become a beautiful memory.

Looking back at the past

When the photo was taken, the three of them had no idea what they would experience in the next four years: the glory of grabbing an offensive rebound and assisting Ray Allen's life-threatening three-pointer , or is it the embarrassment of being played around by two old guys Duncan and Diaw; is it the pride of walking freely inside the Thunder with a piece of paper, or is it the pain of being tortured by the knee day and night; is it the pride of enjoying worship and finally becoming a hegemon, or is it the lack of back-up skills? dilemma. They don't know all this. Maybe they would choose to form a team knowing that the future would end with regrets, because what is the pain when they are with each other?
