Inside Miami Heat Locker Room After Another Demoralizing NBA Finals Loss

邁阿密熱火在令人沮喪的輸球後的休息室內幕

The Miami Heat's locker room was mute late Friday night. Players got dressed
slowly at their locker stalls with heads tilted downward.

Big man Bam Adebayo sat at his stall, mouth ajar, staring into space before
proceeding to get ready for his postgame press conference obligations.

Across the way, shooting guard Max Strus was visibly infuriated. He didn't
score a single point in 18 minutes of play, the second time he's failed to
register a point in these NBA Finals. As he finished getting dressed, cameras
and reporters began setting up camp around his stall.

"Y'all need to talk to me?" he asked in an irritable manner. The four-year
veteran then took questions like a professional.

邁阿密熱火的休息室在星期五晚間鴉雀無聲。球員們慢慢的穿衣服並低頭坐在位置上。

長人Bam Adebayo坐在他的位置上，嘴巴微開，目光呆滯地看著看著空間來為他的賽後採訪
做準備。



「你們要跟我講話嗎?」Strus用一個惱怒的態度問道。接下來這名4年老將球員仍表現得像
一名專業人士般地回答問題。

After suffering a demoralizing 108-95 loss to the Denver Nuggets, the Heat
now find themselves down 3-1 with their season on the line going into Game 5
on Monday in Denver.

In three of four Finals contests, the Heat have failed to score more than 95
points, dropping both home games. In Game 4 on Friday, Nikola Jokic sat on
the bench for the majority of the fourth quarter due to foul trouble, but the
Heat couldn't capitalize on his absence.

The Heat are wounded, but very much still prideful. Much has been made of the
legion of undrafted players on the Heat's roster. Is it fair to wonder if
there's a talent gap distancing the Nuggets from the Heat?

在對金塊遭受一場95-108的沮喪失利之後，熱火現在陷入了1-3的劣勢並要在星期一於丹佛
打第5戰。



熱火受傷了，但他們仍非常自豪。人們都在討論熱火名單上的那群落選球員。並思考這兩
隊之間是否存在天賦差距?

"It's disrespectful for people to say that because you can't just trick your
way into the Finals. It takes talent," team leader Udonis Haslem told
Bleacher Report before exiting the locker room.

"I don't know what the f--- they're talking about with that s---. Yes, we
have some undrafted players, but they're also talented players and we've made
it this far. We just have to limit our mistakes.

"They got 20 points off our f---ing [14] turnovers. That s--- can't happen.
But I believe in this team just like I did on those teams when we had D-Wade
and LeBron [James]. I have no doubt we'll respond accordingly."

「人們這樣講很不尊重，你是不能投機取巧進入NBA總決賽的，這需要天賦。」熱火領導者
Udonis Haslem在離開休息室前告訴BR。

「我才不知道他們在講甚麼狗屁話。是的，我們有些落選球員，但他們也是天賦異稟的球
員我們才能走那麼遠。我們自己需要少犯錯。」

「他們從我們他媽的(14次)失誤得到了20分。這種狗屁不能再發生了。但就像我在與有
Dwayne Wade與LeBron James那時的熱火一樣我相信著這支球隊。毫無疑問，我們會反擊的
。」

Kyle Lowry also candidly dismissed that narrative.

"People are always going to run their mouths. It's like a--holes, everybody's
got one," Lowry told B/R while getting dressed. "We've been in this situation
the entire playoffs where people have counted us out and said we're an
undrafted team, but we are in the NBA Finals for a damn reason. I don't think
we listen to the noise because, at the end of the day, a team is 15 deep."

Kyle Lowry也直白的駁斥了這個說法。

「人們就是喜歡亂嘴炮。就跟屁眼一樣每個人都有一個。」Lowry在更衣時告訴BR。



Miami has relied heavily on Jimmy Butler being a shot creator and a
distributor. He led his team with 25 points on 9-of-17 from the field to go
with seven rebounds and seven assists. With the exception of Kyle Lowry off
the bench, Miami seems to lack another player capable of initiating and
creating quality shots at will.

The majority of the Heat's offensive sets are dribble handoffs and crisp ball
movement to get the defense to spread out in hopes of giving a shooter a
tight window for catch-and-shoot opportunities.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets have multiple players who have demonstrated the
ability to get a bucket beyond their two stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.



熱火大部分的進攻都建立在手遞手與球的流動來分散防守以期望為射手提供僅僅一剎那的
接球投籃機會。

同時，金塊有多名球員展示了除了Nikola Jokic與Jamal Murray以外的得分能力。

"I think in our offense, we create shots for each other," Lowry told B/R. "I
think the Nuggets have a great defensive scheme, but I think we just missed
some shots. We're getting to our spots. Tonight was turnovers. That doesn't
help at all."

Kevin Love and Lowry met outside the locker room and had a fierce but
constructive conversation for several minutes about the team's mishaps and
discussed ways to improve for Monday.

"We've been down this road before. If there's anybody that can go to Denver
and get a win, it's us," Haslem told B/R. "You allow yourself to be
frustrated tonight. But when you wake up, that shit is over and we focus on
Game 5. A closeout game is the hardest game to win. We'll be up for the
challenge."

Before departing the arena, Lowry shook the hand of Brazilian football star
Neymar and gave him a parting message.

"We'll be back for Game 6," he said. "We'll see you then."



Kevin Love與Kyle Lowry在更衣室外面有一段數分鐘激烈但具有建設性的對話。他們討論
了球隊的失誤與星期一該如何改進。

「我們之前就經歷過這些情況。如果要說有任何人可以去丹佛並贏下這場比賽，那一定會
是我們。」Haslem告訴BR。

「你可以在今晚感到沮喪。但隔天起床時這些都過去了而我們會專注在第五戰。收尾一定
是最難的。我們也會應對他們的挑戰。」

在離開球場之前，Lowry與巴西足球明星Neymar握手並傳達了離開前的訊息。

「我們會回來打第6戰的，到時見。」

心得:

還沒到放棄的時刻
