Preface:
The 2012-13 finals saw the Mesozoic star claim power over the established star, with James on one side of the court and opposite the Spurs' "No. 21," who said "the future is yours." Duncan knew that James would be the face of the league, and after saying that famous phrase to James in '07, the two met again in the Finals 6 years later.
This time, James with his luxury Heat and Duncan's Spurs battle, when the Spurs core "GDP" combination has entered the end of their careers, everyone expects them to add another crown in the twilight years and continue to write brilliant on their resumes, but few expect them to beat the peak James and sit on the "Big Three" heat, unexpectedly, the Spurs forced the Heat into a corner, and the "Big Three" relied on a three-point shot by Ray Allen to get through.
At that time, the pressure on the Heat was huge, although they won the championship in 2012, but defeated the youth army Thunder, their core roster is still too young, many people question the strength of the Heat, the 2013 Finals against the Spurs is obviously a good opportunity to silence all doubters, as a result, a black opener put them into a great passivity, and then the Heat although there was a counterattack, the first four games with the Spurs tied 2-2, but lost the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain, You must know that the number of teams that lost Tianwangshan and ended up winning the series in history is pitiful.
G6, everything seems to be going as previous experience shows, a loss seems inevitable to the Heat, but unexpectedly, Ray Allen shot a three-point shot 5.2 seconds before the end of regular time to save the Heat, that is, save the "Big Three", and also let the Spurs break the string that the team collapsed, and there was no resistance, allowing the Heat to win the championship.
Against the aging Spurs, but struggling, how the data of the Heat "Big Three" at that time performed, let's find out through the data!
The "Big Three" accommodated each other, and Wade Bosh sacrificed his stats for a "27-game winning streak" + first regular season record
At the beginning of the season, the Heat did not enter the form quickly, and the Knicks were the most powerful in the East, who occupied the first place in the East for a long time, until late December, when the Heat began to make a push and grab the first spot in the East. On February 4, the Heat officially began their 27-game winning streak, setting the second-longest winning streak in NBA history. The Heat ended up in first place in the league with a 66-16 record.
But this season, the Heat's Big Three have shrunk from the previous year, with Bosh's average dropping to 16.6 points per game, not only the biggest drop among the three, but also the lowest. The reason why the Heat's Big Three data have declined is because they are accommodating to each other, putting the interests of the team first, Bosh accepted the fact that he changed to playing center, although the team can keep winning, but Bosh himself is not comfortable playing, so that later when recalling the time when he played center in the Heat, Bosh also said that he would be beaten with a blue nose and a swollen face.
Facing the civilian Bucks in the first round, the strength was absolutely crushed, and the soldiers advanced 4-0 without blood
The Heat's first-round playoff opponent was the Bucks, who at this time had not yet got Alphabet Brother or Middleton, and their core was Monta Ellis, Jennings and Dunleavey. That season, there was no way to go head-to-head with the Heat without a strong center, as was the case with the Bucks, whose main center, Sanders, averaged 9.8 points per game that year in the regular season, unable to pose a real threat to the Heat, and Ellis and Jennings lost themselves under the defense of Battier and Wade. The Heat eventually took the Bucks without blood, averaging 14.75 points per game.
The Big Three in the first-round playoffs were: James: 24.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists; Wade 13.7 points, 7 rebounds and 6.3 assists; Bosh: 12.8 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.
The second round of Ross is not there, the Bulls are just mantis blocking the car, and the Heat "gentleman sweeps"
The Bulls rose because of Rose's presence, and he even beat James in 2010-11 to win the MVP, but in 2012-13, Rose didn't play a single game, and Lore Deng became the Bulls' leading scorer in the regular season. Jimmy Butler has not yet grown, and the Bulls are extremely immature in front of the Heat, and although they steal a win in G1, they quickly lose four consecutive games and are eliminated, including G2 losing 37 points.
The Big Three statistics in the second-round playoffs were: James: 23.6 points, 7 rebounds and 7.8 assists; Wade 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists; Bosh 13.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2 assists.
The weakness of the East Final's inside line was targeted, and it was completely exploded, and George's big heart performance was shocked into a hot cold sweat
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat's opponent is the Pacers. George's statistics soared this year, won the fastest improvement player, and also became the outside core of the team, of course, for the Heat, they have too many ways to deal with George, whether it is Battier or Wade can go to guard George, it really can't be and James is on top, but when it comes to the inside, the Heat can't take Hibbert and David West.
In this series with the Pacers, the Heat allowed Hibbert to average a luxurious double-double of 22.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, West also averaged 16.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, and the Heat's interior players were completely unable to match, Bosh only averaged 11 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, and Haslem and Chris Anderson failed to score double-doubles per game.
In the series G1, George broke out in a cold sweat with the heat, he played against James all the time, and also shot a tie-breaker three-point shot 0.7 seconds before the end, which is also one of the representative pictures of his career. In overtime, George fouled Wade again, causing him to leave the game, and the Pacers were almost on the verge of winning the game, but James stepped up, he carried the team, and completed the kill with a layup. And this is also the epitome of the Heat and Pacers series, it can be said that James single-handedly put the team into the Finals.
The Big Three stats are: James: 29 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists; Wade: 15.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists; Bosh: 11 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists.
In the finals, Spo and Bobo fought the method, the Big Three performed up and down, and Ray Allen scored a three-point shot through the heart
The 2013 Spurs were undoubtedly the team in the league that knew how to play the Finals at the time, and Spoelstra, who fought him, also tasted a championship a year ago, and although he was young, he was clearly not the owner of the stomach. The core trio of the Heat and Spurs has experienced a lot of ups and downs in this series, and the series G3 is still a nightmare in the hearts of the Heat's Big Three, where James, Wade, and Bosh scored only 15, 16 and 12 points, respectively, and the Heat finally swallowed a 36-point white.
In contrast, James is the more consistent of the Big Three, he still averaged 25.3 points per game under Leonard's defense, while Wade only had a 32-point performance in G4, the other six games scored under 30 points, two games scored even less than 15 points, Bosh's performance was even worse, his points were hovering around 10 points, and the G7 score was directly hanging zero, so he is difficult to associate with the giants.
In the finals G6, the Heat and Spurs could still play back and forth in the first half, but in the third quarter, the Spurs suddenly made a force, and the point difference was instantly stretched to more than 10 points, and it seems that the Heat has passed. In the fourth quarter, the Heat began to chase points hard under the leadership of James, and the Spurs side scored steadily with the help of Parker, Ginobili and Leonard, and the scores alternately rose, and finally the game entered the last 20 seconds, the Heat were still three points behind the Spurs, James tried to miss a three-pointer, at that moment, James seemed to be taking the championship trophy by Duncan again, but Ray Allen said "no". Bosh grabbed the rebound in front and passed the ball to Ray Allen in the bottom right corner, who did not hesitate and raised his hand to hit a three-point shot to equalize the score, and this three-point shot also lost the Spurs' spirit, their running ball was no longer smooth, the defensive intensity also dropped sharply, and finally lost G6.
The Spurs, who lost their heart, could no longer limit the Heat, James gave it on the offensive end, Wade also recovered, and the Heat were able to have the last laugh.
The Big Three statistics of the Finals are: James 25.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and 7 assists; Wade: 19.6 points, 4 rebounds and 4.6 assists; Bosh 11.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists.
After the 2013 Finals, there were many voices saying that without Ray Allen, the Heat could not win the championship, implying that the Heat's Big Three could win the championship and were saved by Ray Allen. This is not unreasonable, as the age increases, in the Heat Big Three, Wade and Bosh are not as good as before, Wade is trapped in a knee injury, Bosh and because of position changes and tactical position and other issues data seriously shrunk, in the regular season, they can still work together to win, can even be called invincible, to the playoffs to meet a real strong enemy, the game process becomes extremely difficult.
In 2013-14, the Heat's regular-season record still ranked first in the East, but the number of wins was 12 fewer than the previous season. In the Finals, the Heat met the Spurs again, but this time, they only won one game in G2, and the remaining four games were lost by 18 points per game, which was unilaterally crushed, and the era of the Heat's Big Three ended after the end of that season. In the summer of 2014, James left Miami and returned to Cleveland, while Wade and Bosh remained with the Heat. The results of the Heat's Big Three are fixed in four years and four finals, two championships, and the two losses have no decent resistance, and many of the military medals that won the championship against the Spurs have to be remembered by Ray Allen.
