Chapter 324 Little Emperor James (Part [-])
James has been cheered and applauded since he was a child. This situation of suddenly becoming a villain caught him by surprise.Coupled with the need for the Big Three to run in at the beginning of the season, the Heat's start record was not smooth, which intensified the reaction from the outside world.
The pressure of public opinion and poor record have become additional shackles, weighing heavily on James' shoulders.Many fans don't want to think about the past of that year.
Rose rose to prominence that season and won the regular season MVP, just in the middle of James' two consecutive MVPs.
The Heat did not have an absolute core in their first season, and James and Wei relied on their personal abilities to take turns attacking the opponent's defense. In the always weak Eastern Conference, such an unformed system worked.They achieved the second record in the Eastern Conference in the regular season and entered the playoffs.
The first round of the playoffs was uneventful, and the Heat defeated the 76ers.In the second round, the Heat met the Boston Celtics, who eliminated the Cavaliers twice.
James and Wade battled against the declining Celtics Big Three. At that time, Rondo had grown into the mainstay of the Celtics. Although he played extraordinary performances, he still lost to James and Way.The Heat 4-1 the Celtics, and James Way embraced after the game, celebrating breaking the years of confinement.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, Rose led the No. [-] Bulls in the Eastern Conference. In the first game, he gave the Heat a big blow and won by a big margin.However, the Heat quickly adjusted back and won three consecutive victories.
In Game 16 of the Eastern Conference finals, just when the Bulls were about to win, Janeway exploded, scoring 4 points in a row, turning the game around with his personal ability.The Heat 1-[-] the Bulls, and James entered the finals with the team for the second time in his career.
James still maintains confidence in the team and issued a "Now or never" declaration before the finals.During the Finals series, when Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki was exposed to a bad cold and insisted on playing, Janeway pretended to cough and imitate Dirk Nowitzki at the post-game press conference.Such a move should not have occurred.
James played abnormally in that series, averaging only 17.8 points per game. The fifth and sixth games were quite poor, and one of them only contributed 8 points.Heat 2-4 Mavericks, missed the chance to be crowned that season.
In the summer of 11, James encountered an unprecedented storm of public opinion, and various voices mocking him continued to appear, so he had to temporarily leave the media's attention to relieve the huge pressure.Fortunately, labor disputes occurred in the NBA, which distracted part of the fans' attention.
That summer, there were rumors that the NBA would not be able to play normally, and there were even news reports that Kobe would play in the CBA, but unfortunately it did not become a reality in the end.What really happened was that Wade, who led the Heat to win the first championship in team history, took the initiative to find James, gave him the position of team boss, and established him as the core.
Such a sacrifice is simply unacceptable to many team bosses, but Wade did it.
In the 11-12 season, the NBA regular season shrunk to 62 games. James, who has been promoted to a core position, played his due performance, helping the Heat get the second regular season ranking in the Eastern Conference and winning his third MVP trophy.In the playoffs that year, the Roman numeral sixteen was printed on the front of James' braces, which means that it takes sixteen victories to win the championship.
The Heat passed the first round with no surprises, and faced the Pacers led by George in the second round. The two sides fought six games. The Heat took away the victory and George gained fame.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat once again met the tenacious Celtics. After accidentally losing the Tianwangshan battle, Game 45 became one of the most important games in James' career.James appeared in the "Pupil of Death" scene in that game, scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and [-] assists, leading the team to win the sixth game.
In the seventh game, the Heat and the Celtics also played inextricably. In the end, the Heat played at home better and entered the finals for the second consecutive year.
The young Durant, Westbrook and Harden led the Thunder through the Western Conference and came to the Finals to meet the Miami Heat.
Harden was still a playboy at the time, lingering in nightclubs without knowing where to go, and the hot dancers in Miami made him lose his magic when facing the Spurs.The Heat's targeted defense against him worked, gradually obliterating the suspense of the game.
The Heat 4-1 the Thunder, the Heat won the second championship trophy in team history, James tasted the taste of victory for the first time in June, and won the Finals MVP for the first time.
In the summer of 12, Ray Allen, one of the Celtics' Big Three and frequently troubled by trade rumors, announced that he would join the Heat, which made him suffer a lot of criticism.For a while, several star players of the Celtics no longer had contact with Ray Allen.
In the 12-13 season, James won the regular season MVP for the second consecutive year and led the team to the playoffs.In the first and second rounds, the Heat had a smooth ride.
In the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat and the Pacers fought seven games, and the Pacers led by George lost again.The Heat reached the finals for the third consecutive year.
The Spurs came to the finals stage and played against the Heat.Wade needed to pump water in his knees that year, but he still played well. The Spurs' Danny Green broke the record for three-pointers made in the Finals.
In Game [-] of the finals, when the Spurs were about to win, James made a key three-pointer, Bosh contributed a key offensive rebound, and assisted Ray Allen to make that priceless three-pointer.It is said that the Spurs were ready to celebrate winning the championship at the time, and because of this three-pointer that was dragged into overtime, everything was rewritten.
In Game [-] of the Finals, James played a mid-range shooting performance far beyond the standard, broke the Spurs' iron barrel defense, and won the third championship trophy in team history.James won the regular season and Finals MVP for the second consecutive year.
In the series that year, Wade knelt down and passed the ball to his teammates. After winning the championship, the shot of champagne pouring on his knees and Duncan slapping the floor in frustration became a classic.
In the 13-14 season, the Heat tried to hit the unfinished three-peat of the Lakers. Unfortunately, due to the aging lineup and the mental slack after consecutive championships, the team's strength declined.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Heat swept the Bobcats where Jordan was the boss, and in the second round they easily eliminated the senior lineup that Prokhorov overdrafted for the future.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat and the Pacers met again in six games, and the Heat passed smoothly.Waiting for them on the stage of the finals is the Spurs, who regrettably lost last season.
The Spurs showed their super strength in the first game, defeating the Heat by a big score.In the second game, James played his voice and led the team to a narrow victory over the Spurs, tying the score 1-1.It was the last win in the Heat series.
The San Antonio Spurs will show their super strength, winning three consecutive cities, beating the Heat with a big score of 4-1, and reaching the top of the NBA again after 7 seasons.The win this time allowed the Spurs to break the rule of winning the championship in odd-numbered years widely circulated among fans.
In this round of the series, the Spurs stopped using air conditioners at home and prepared electric fans in advance. James made free throws and saw Kawhi Leonard being replaced and swearing, which became an easy-to-remember point.
In the summer of 14, James became a free agent again and repeatedly rejected Heat President Pat Riley's meeting request.
Pat Riley wants Wade to keep James.
Wade did not do that. He told the media that he respected James' choice and was unwilling to exert more pressure.
Pat Riley later recalled that year: "I felt like a dynasty flew out the window."
