The reporters in the audience were dark and dense.
There are many reporters. If this is normal, they will definitely feel happy.
But now, each of them is like a debt collector in their eyes.
In addition to the Big Three, team president Pat Riley and head coach Spoelstra were all present.
"This is the second season for the team to form the Big Three, and it is also the second consecutive year for the team to lose in the finals. Is this a failed lineup?"
The first question was from a reporter from ESPN, and the question that came up was extremely sharp.
This is also expected. When you have the league's first small forward, second shooting guard, and top ten forwards, but still can't win the championship, it is impossible not to be questioned.
"No, of course not. All we need to do is to continue to strengthen the team in the summer. In fact, reaching the finals for two consecutive years is enough to show the problem. They are very close to the championship."
Riley was calm. He had coached "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, "Magic" Johnson, "Gorilla" Ewing and many other historical giants, and he had seen countless big scenes.
"Will you be the coach of the team next season?"
The reporter asked.
As an Asian, Spoelstra has coached the Big Three and failed to win the championship for two years, and he has a lot of doubts.
Although the reporter didn't say it very directly, what he said was actually asking whether the team would change the head coach.
After asking this question, James couldn't help turning his head at this time.
When he came to Miami, he asked Riley if he would come out again, but Riley refused.
Now the team has failed again. If Riley can come out, it will definitely be the biggest encouragement for the Heat.
"No, I said last year that my coaching career is over."
Riley's answer was straightforward.
He is a fortune teller, and his coaching career is already perfect, even if he coaches the Heat to win another championship, it will not do much good.
Not to mention the possibility of failure, if he fails, then his reputation will be ruined for a lifetime.
It is impossible for him to do such a low-return and high-risk thing.
"Eric is good, he is the best coach for this team, I have said that all we need to do is add some role players in the summer."
What Riley said was accurate, James could only turn his head slightly disappointed.
"LeBron, why did we fall behind 0 to 3 at the beginning, if it weren't for that, we might have a better chance of winning the championship."
Then he pointed the finger at James again.
In fact, everyone can see that the Heat's problem lies in the role players, but the role players will not appear here.
"It's my problem. I failed to lead this team well. I will continue to improve my skills in the summer. I will also sit down and discuss with Dwyane and Chris. We will find a way to win."
James said while thinking.
"Yeah, we've actually got some ideas, we've won two games, we're not clueless."
After James finished speaking, Wade quickly added a sentence.
The curtain fell on the finals, but the discussion of fans on social media reached a new climax this night.
"Use the most low-key way to accomplish the most high-profile things, Don, the Spurs rookie who is not low-key, Tian!"
"Yes, Duncan is the one in the spotlight, but the godfather is as radiant as he is, and he hits key goals in three of four games!"
"Yes, the Heat and the Spurs are too close in strength, 6 games and 5 games until the last moment, without Tang, the Spurs would not be able to win the championship."
"If FMVP can be shared, he must be the best choice."
"Remember what I said, steal James lore to win the championship? ㄟ(▔, ▔)ㄏ"
"Although it's not a tiebreaker, and even though it's a free throw game, but brother, you're pretty close to God's prediction!"
"Next season we can ask you to predict again!"
"Actually, it's nothing to lose the finals. The Heat are just out of luck. As Riley said, adding some role players, the Heat are still worth looking forward to next year!"
"The coming year will still be the little emperor!"
"My emperor is mighty, the Heat will win!"
"Where did the fans come from? With the current space of the Heat, who else can be strengthened! You really believe Riley, a big fool!"
"I don't like Riley + 1. I used to be a close friend. You don't know that Mourning retired early because Riley asked for minor injuries when he was coaching. As a result, he has been taking painkillers for the game!"
"Hey, a senior lake honey can tell you that Magic Johnson was also abolished by Riley in training. Riley also said that Johnson did it himself."
"That's right, and Kareem was forced by Riley to stay in the sauna for three hours. He almost killed Sky Sports on the spot. After the incident got serious, he called it weight loss."
"Do you know why Riley broke up with O'Neal and couldn't stay with the Lakers? He forced the Sharks to turn around in public! O'Neal doesn't like training the most, but Riley took him for a knife!"
"Haha, are you in a crooked way? Riley is doing a good job in the Heat at least for now. He has recruited the Big Three."
"And the Big Three are still young. Once they enter the championship mode, there is a high probability that they will launch a dynasty."
"Yes, Riley still did a good job in the Heat. He developed Wade, found LeBron and Bosh, which is great."

Chapter 2 Ninety Champions Parade Eve
The morning after winning the title, the Spurs boarded a plane back to San Antonio.
Because of the carnival last night, most of the team members were sleeping on the plane.
When I woke up, the plane had already landed at San Antonio International Airport.
Going out from the airport, there are hundreds of fans waiting outside the airport.
When Kangda won the championship, Tang Tian was shocked by the dense crowd outside the airport.
But there is no harm without comparison, and this battle is obviously much smaller than it is.
Moreover, he has experienced many such scenes in his previous life, and his mentality is not much different from that of an old guy like Duncan.
However, together with other teammates, he enthusiastically took photos with Al-Quds fans and signed autographs.
Although the first championship won as a player is not the core, the experience is still completely different from that of the coach.
"Don! I love you!"
Tang Tian saw female fans screaming, and then there were waves shaking in front of his eyes.
Don't shake!Sickness!
Cecilia's proud twin peaks appeared unconsciously in his mind.
It's really strange to say that in China, there are more beautiful women than in the United States, but when it comes to breasts, it seems that they are not in the same order.
Is it the milk breeder on the American side?Or race?
"Which one do you like? Leave it to me, and I'll help you figure it out tonight!"
At this time, Dio came over and put his shoulders on his shoulders and said, looking like a big man in love.
Tang Tian came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head.
Ginobili is just showy, but Dior is really hot.
He was the last one to come back from the nightclub last night. According to Ginobili's description, he had to go to the bathroom seven times a night.
After coming out of the airport, the team members went back to rest one after another.
This season is over, and for the Spurs, there is only one last link left, the championship parade.
The parade is a part of the carnival for basketball fans, and it is also a very important part of the NBA giving back to fans.
In particular, the Spurs won the championship trophy away from home this year, which is even more important.
However, the Spurs have won many championships in the past ten years, and they are already very experienced in this regard.
As early as when the Spurs took a 3-0 lead, the top management of the Spurs had already figured out how to celebrate this time.
Swim the river, swim the San Antonio River!
Because of the riverside pedestrian street, the scenery along the San Antonio River is the best and the most lively.
If a small boat passes through the middle, it is indeed a way to get closer to the fans!
The parade will take place in three days.
During these two days, the team members can take a good rest and recover the energy that was consumed during the championship night carnival.
On the day of the parade, it will be even crazier.
Not long after Tang Tian returned to the apartment, he received a video call from Olson.
After connecting, what he saw was Hollywood Studios, and there were other actors from "Interstellar".
It turned out that the movie had already been wrapped.
In this kind of sci-fi movie, the participation of actors is relatively small, and the post-production is the big part.
If you count the time, it's almost the same.
Olsen was sharing the joy of finishing the movie with Tang Tian, and also congratulated him on winning the championship.
"I've seen the news about the Spurs winning the championship, and your braided rope bracelet has become a picture of the news."
Olsen said with a reddish face.
"No, it's your bracelet."
After Tang Tian finished speaking with a smile, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why is it so weird to say this?
While chatting on the video, Fagen's phone call came.
Most of the business affairs are taken care of by Feigen himself, and the phone calls are definitely not trivial.
Say hello to Olsen, hang up the video cable, and then pick up Fagan's call.
"The Christian Dior brand wants to sign us a global endorsement contract for sunglasses before the parade of champions."
As for the global endorsement contract, Fagan's opening is indeed a big deal.
"Dior?"
But Tang Tian was stunned when he heard the name of the brand, he must have found the wrong endorser!
"Yes, it's the French brand company you know. Boris Dior is their spokesperson for French men's clothing. They paid attention to Dior's new team, and then they took a fancy to you."
Fagan gave a rather apt explanation.
After listening to Tang Tian, he probably knew it in his heart. This is a follow-up endorsement, just like Peak in China.
"For $100 million a year, they will give you a car, that's what they say, a car of sunglasses for you."
Tang Tian burst out laughing after hearing what Fei Gen said.
Send a car of sunglasses?This is really unheard of.
But it's probably a marketing gimmick.
In the previous life, some media reported that Adidas gave Harden a cart of shoes.
It doesn't matter how valuable the things inside are, the key is to be able to be popular in the news, and to achieve the promotion effect is the main purpose.
"Promise."
Tang Tian was not too picky this time.
As the championship was exchanged for the king of free throws, his krypton gold value was emptied again.
Before the start of the next contract, the salary he can receive is very limited, so the more endorsements, the better.
Anyway, for such a short-term contract, it will be fine to screen according to the situation at that time.
After the finalization, the action of signing the contract was very fast.
Tang Tian soon got a krypton gold value of more than 40.
