Chapter 180 The storm has just arrived!
Spolstra returned to the hotel to pack his things, and the plane took off and returned to Miami after more than an hour. He didn't want to stay in New York for a moment, even though his favorite city was New York before.
There were not many things, just some personal belongings and a few books. They were packed up in just a few strokes. After packing up, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
He felt emptiness.
He hasn't been sleeping much a month before the playoffs. The Heat are not strong enough. If you want to go far in the playoffs, you must make every effort to prepare.
After the All-Star Game, he not only has to ensure that the team enters the playoffs, but also has to choose opponents. After several rounds of discussion, the team unanimously agreed that the Knicks would be the best dealt with.
In addition to the Knicks, a team that looks strong but has obvious incompleteness, is the opponent the Heat should choose.
The other three teams in the top four, whether it is the Magic, the Celtics, or James' Cavaliers, are not easy to mess with. Each of these three teams has their own reasons for entering the finals.
The Magic team was the runner-up last season. Although the team structure has changed due to the transaction and its combat effectiveness may have changed slightly, the team's core Howard is still there, so this team is definitely not easy to mess with.
The Celtics missed the Eastern Conference Finals last season not because of their lack of strength, but because of Garnett's season reimbursement, Garnett is the soul of the Celtics. Without Garnett, the Celtics would not be a complete Celtic team.
The Cavaliers are LeBron James's team. This player who is already standing in the center of the stage today is undoubtedly powerful. The Cavaliers under him are extremely powerful. This is obvious in the record rankings. The Cavaliers are not only the number one in the Eastern Conference, but even the number one in the league. They have several more wins than the Lakers, the champion last season!
Only the Knicks, a team led by a rookie, although the turnaround seems terrifying and recruited several powerful veterans in the later stage, in the eyes of Spoelstra, they all seem to be illusory.
No matter how strong a rookie is, how much can he play in his first playoffs in his career?
A team without running-in and tacit understanding, even if it is strong, how much strength can it exert?
The Heat were very happy that there was such a pseudo-strong team in the East. They even lost several games before the end in order to compete with the Knicks. Of course, it was not only the Heat who thought so, but the Hawks also thought so. At the end, the Hawks and the Heat lost without leaving any traces. In the end, Coach Spoelstra was better!
Spoelstra smiled miserably.
If I had known this, why should I be there?
The Heat really fought head-on with the Magic, Celtics, and even the Cavaliers, who ranked first in the league, and no one dared to say that they could beat the Heat more than ten per game, nor did they dare to pat their chests and say that they could solve the battle in six games!
This is the Heat's confidence.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Spolstrán stayed for a long time until the assistant coach couldn't find his person at the meeting point, but the phone was turned off. He had to run up and knock on the door.
"Ah... it's time. Sorry, sorry, the things have been packed, let's go."
Spoelstra apologized with the assistant coach and hurriedly walked out with his stuff.
The plane took off, and Spolstra looked at New York's huge international metropolis, which still shone in the night. This is a city that never sleeps. Perhaps two exciting victories will make New Yorkers carnival until dawn?
Spoelstra was a little panicked when he knew that the criticism he had suffered this time was unprecedented since he became a coach. He wanted to criticize and not understand like a storm, but Spoelstra was extremely sleepy but could not fall asleep for a long time.
The plane landed in Miami, and a bright light had appeared in the horizon. Dawn was about to come, but there was no trace of light in Spolstra's heart.
The group got off the plane tiredly and took the bus back to Miami's home court. Their cars were all parked there and they had to drive home.
Instead of going to the garage, Spolstra returned to the office, pulled up the curtains, turned on the player, and watched the video of the two games again. Sometimes they even played back one by one. After watching the two games, they took out the video of Zhou Mubai edited by the videographer, and watched it over and over again. I don’t know how long it took, and footsteps suddenly came from the door. Spolstra looked up and saw that it was Pat Riley.
He stood up in a hurry, but didn't know what to say for a moment, so he stood there blankly.
Pat Riley looked at Spolstra with a pale face, and his anger disappeared a lot.
Pat Riley sat down on the sofa, took out a cigar and cut it open and lit it, took a deep breath and spit it out, and the office was filled with the smell of Cuba.
"If I were you, hurry back and have a good sleep first. A big thing requires a clear brain to think about solutions."
Spoelstra smiled bitterly: "I can't sleep."
Pat Riley buried his whole body in the soft sofa, looking very relaxed, and even smiled on his face: "That's because you have not experienced enough failures. Like me, I have a lot of success. I can't even carry my ring with my hands. I specially left a big house at home to accommodate my honors, but you may not know that I failed more times. I used to cry when I failed, and sometimes I even thought about just being depressed, but after experiencing these things, growing, I will naturally mature."
He looked at Spoelstra's thoughtful look and smiled, "I was actually very angry before I came, but seeing you never return all night, although this is not wise, but when I see your fighting spirit, I am actually no longer angry."
Spoelstra said: "I actually thought a lot, but I didn't think about how to face your scolding. I knew I just remembered it when I saw you."
Pat Riley laughed, stood up and patted Spoelstra on the shoulder: "You are the one I chose, so you should be so indomitable!"
"But, sir, I watched all the videos about Zhou Mubai, but I don't know how to deal with him. If it is to deal with Kobe and James, I have at least three ways to suppress their personal performance, but Zhou Mubai..."
Spoelstra embarrassedly said, "...I really don't know how to deal with him!"
Pat Riley sighed, "It's not just you, I don't know how to deal with him."
The master and apprentice fell silent, and the phone calls in the office outside were one after another. That was where the team management department responded to the media and fans.
