The Celtics Big Three won the championship. You know, before the establishment of the Big Three, the Celtics were still a team at the bottom of the East. This immediate effect has also attracted the attention and imitation of all the teams in the league, so in the following years, various "Big Three" and "Big Four" have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Whether they have the strength of superstars or not, these groups will always be crowned giants.
However, there is only one champion every year, which will not change with the constant appearance of super leagues, so some so-called "super leagues" gradually reveal their true colors, but overall, the way the stars hold each other has had an important impact on the pattern of the league. Since 2008, most champion teams have at least three all-star groups, and the typical ones are the "Tsunami Brothers" of Heat, Cavaliers and Warriors.
In fact, even the giants who finally won the championship, their winning process was by no means smooth sailing. When a team's lineup is too luxurious, it may become the "target" of the whole league, attracting strong teams from all walks of life. For example, the Miami Heat's Big Three, which was formed in the off-season of 20 10, experienced the bitterness of failure in the first season, and Dwyane Wade, the soul of the team at that time, was the team's first season.
When James and Bosch came to Miami to meet Wade, people naturally thought of one of the important reasons. As the rookie of the same year in the generation of 03, they had a close personal relationship that surpassed others, and the atmosphere in the team should naturally be relaxed and happy. However, in Wade's view, this is not the case. Wade said: "that season, we all lost the fun of playing and consumed a lot of fun." We tried to play the villain role and become a public enemy, which stifled the fun of the game. "
Even if the team is strong and excellent, from the first year, the team is really not fun. Wade also mentioned: "That hatred for us took us in the wrong direction. We seem to have been pushed in the wrong direction and not put ourselves in the right position. If we can put that hatred in the right place, then we will still play happily. "
Different from when the Big Three of the Green Army was just formed, when the Big Three of the Heat took shape, the attitude of the alliance towards them was mainly a challenge and even contained some "hatred". This is actually not difficult to understand, because when the three giants of the Green Army came together, they were all veterans of the league for many years, and Paul Pierce, the youngest of the three, was over 30 years old. For these elderly people who are about to end their peak, a championship in the next year is the most decent closing gift for them.
When James and others formed the Big Three, all three of them were in the golden age of their careers. Even Wade, the oldest, is only 28 years old, and James just won the second MVP trophy in his career that summer. Wade was the scoring champion a year ago, and even Bosh, with the weakest reputation, was the Raptors' boss for 20+ 10 years in a row.
To make matters worse, when James chose to transfer, he did not choose to leave quietly. Instead, he took Wade and Bosh to a live TV program and announced his decision in front of the American audience. It can be said that this behavior has caused irreversible damage to Cleveland fans who have been supporting James for many years, and even caused some extreme fans to burn James's jersey in public. Regardless of James's thoughtlessness, his age and lack of experience in dealing with related events, this transfer has undoubtedly greatly damaged his reputation.
The Big Three were defeated by the old Mavericks in the finals. Of course, off-court factors and rumors can not have a decisive impact on the road to winning the championship for strong teams. Winning the championship is their ultimate belief. Unfortunately, although they reached the finals that year, they were beheaded by the Mavericks led by Nowitzki. James also tasted the bitter fruit of losing the finals for the second time since 2007.
The result of losing in the final is bitter, but the process is even more unacceptable. In the fourth game of the series, James 1 1 only made 3 shots, and scored an incredible 8 points, which is not even like the data that an ordinary star would hand over on this stage. James also met with overwhelming doubts after the game. ?
In addition, the Heat also did something "bad in character", that is, in the finals, Mavericks star Nowitzki developed symptoms of cold and cough, while James and Wade parodied the scene of German cough in an interview. Nowitzki didn't talk much, but in the following game, he responded with a tough performance on the court. In the end, the Mavericks won the first championship in team history, and Nowitzki himself won FMVP.
After the defeat, the Heat began to define James as the core of the team. It was this year's defeat that calmed the Big Three and the Heat. After learning from a painful experience, the Heat decided to take James as the core tactically, and Wade, who has been the ace for many years, took the initiative to transform into the second leader of the team. He also played the role of a good helper while passing the ball.
In the following season, the transformation of the Heat obviously received immediate results. Both James' bravery and responsibility and Wade and Bosh's transformation of victory have made them win more victories. In the end, the Heat made a comeback, defeated the young Thunder in the finals and won the championship again the next year.
Looking back on this powerful heat team, we find that the luxury of the lineup is of course extremely important to a team, but what is more important is the internal chemical reaction and cohesion. Although the Heat has achieved great success, it is more important to adjust and correct it in time after a failed season, which is also the inspiration that today's strong teams who are obsessed with the lineup "arms race" should get.
