Here's the thing that the Heat, players and staff and organization will get to at some point, is how great their season was because they weren't supposed to be here entering the season.

熱火隊、球員和工作人員以及組織在某些時候會得到的是，他們的賽季有多麼偉大，因為他們在進入賽季時不應該在這裡。

It was supposed to be the Bucks or the Raptors again.

本來應該是籃網或者猛龍隊再。

Or the Celtics.

或凱爾特人隊。

Hell, maybe even the Sixers.

見鬼，甚至可能是六人隊。

But here they were six games in the NBA Finals, and they lose some of the greatest players in the history off the game.

但在這裡，他們在NBA總決賽六場比賽，他們失去了一些最偉大的球員在歷史上關閉的遊戲。

How would you put into perspective their season?

你會如何看待他們的賽季？

Yeah, I think, first of all, when you're listening to those comments from Erik Spoelstra to me, those comments are coming from a guy that is the absolute cream of the crop.

是的，我想，首先，當你聽了埃裡克-斯波爾斯特拉對我的那些評論，這些評論來自一個絕對是精華的傢伙。

When you talk about coaches in the n b A.

當你談到教練在n b A。

I think he is the top guy right now, particularly when you look at this roster.

我認為他是現在最頂尖的人，尤其是當你看到這個名單的時候。

This was not a championship roster, Mike.

這不是一個冠軍名單，邁克。

You're 100% right.

你百分之百正確。

This team started to grow on me when I saw them In the restart.

當我看到他們在重新開始的時候，我就開始喜歡上了這支隊伍。

You could see that they were different.

你可以看到他們是不同的。

Some of their younger players were even more mature, more confident as to restart began because a lot of these guys, you know, This was their first season under their belt that was cut short when you take 34 months off.

他們的一些年輕球員甚至更成熟，更有信心，因為重新開始，因為很多這些傢伙，你知道，這是他們的第一個賽季，在他們的腰帶下，當你休息34個月時，他們被切斷了。

It was almost as if they were starting a year on brand new season with a year of experience under their belt.

這幾乎就像他們在全新的賽季中開始一年的工作，有了一年的經驗。

It wasn't like a continuation on the same season.

這不像是在同一個季節的延續。

So that's when I started to see a team that was super connected, a team that absolutely trust each other.

所以這時我開始看到了一個超級聯繫的團隊，一個絕對信任對方的團隊。

There is good at help her recover defensively as any team in the league.

有善於幫助她恢復防守的聯盟中任何一支球隊。

They shoot it as well as any TV lead.

他們拍得和任何電視主角一樣好。

They passed it as well as any team.

他們和任何一支球隊一樣，都通過了。

They're just one star short Mike, in my opinion, from being right there and maybe not even a star.

在我看來，他們只差一星，邁克，離正確的，甚至可能連一星都沒有。

Maybe, just, you know, very good toe all star caliber level players, somebody else offensively that could get their shot against the type of defense you saw in this Siri's.

也許，只是，你知道的，非常好的趾全明星級別的球員，別人的進攻，可以得到他們的機會，對你看到的這個爵士的防守類型。

I think that's all they're missing because some of these young players have now elevated themselves where you can see this team going forward now differently than you would have at the start of the season last October.

我認為這就是他們所缺少的一切，因為這些年輕球員中的一些人現在已經提升了自己，你可以看到這支球隊現在的前進方式與去年10月賽季開始時不同。

You find a guy like Kendrick Nunn Undrafted Makes all Rookie Team runner up for Rookie of the Year Duncan Robinson goes from a Division three player to one of the absolute best shooters in the league.

你找到一個像肯德里克-納恩這樣的傢伙未被徵召的人，讓所有新秀隊的年度新秀亞軍鄧肯-羅賓遜從一個第三級別的球員變成了聯盟中絕對最好的射手之一。

Tyler Hero is a guy that now looks to me like Could be an all star in the future.

泰勒-赫蘿這個傢伙，現在在我看來可能是未來的全明星。

Bam!

咣噹！

Out of bio is now on All Star.

出生物現在在全明星。

So this is a group that has grown exponentially, and they have absolutely, firmly planted themselves in the mix when you go forward in the top of the Eastern Conference.

所以，這是一個成倍增長的群體，當你在東部聯盟的頂端前進時，他們絕對，牢牢地把自己安插在其中。

And no one thought that about this team going into the season.

而且沒有人認為這支球隊進入了賽季。

I had him as a five seed going into the season coming into the restart.

在進入複賽的時候，我把他當成了五號種子。

I didn't know if they were gonna get past the first round, but once they did, I picked them to win the next to Siri's.

我不知道他們是否能通過第一輪，但一旦他們通過了，我就選擇了他們贏得Siri的下一個。

I thought they could get to the finals just based on the eyeball test mic on how well this team plays together and how well they are coached.

我以為他們能進入總決賽，只是基於眼球測試話筒這支球隊的配合程度以及他們的教練水準。

So I think Erik Spoelstra hit on the head a lot with what he talked about this group and how close they became during this experience, and there's a lot more to be heard for the Miami Heat going forward.

所以，我認為埃裡克-斯波爾斯特拉說到的這群人，以及他們在這段經歷中變得多麼親密，我覺得他說的很有道理，未來邁阿密熱火隊還有很多話要聽。

I think we're gonna look at them differently at the start of next season, whenever that may be.

我想我們會在下個賽季開始時，無論何時，都會用不同的眼光看待他們。

By the way, for those of you just joined us, we will hear from LeBron James Anthony Davis at all with the Lakers coming up a little bit later here on SportsCenter.

順便說一下，對於那些剛剛加入我們的人來說，我們將聽到勒布朗-詹姆斯安東尼-戴維斯在所有與湖人隊即將到來的一點點晚些時候在SportsCenter。

But one more point about the Heat, Tim and some of the things you laid out sort of brings me to this question.

但關於熱火隊還有一點，蒂姆和你所闡述的一些事情讓我想到了這個問題。

Because when Shaq first went there after you left the Lakers in 2004 became a destination.

因為在2004年你離開湖人後，沙克第一次去那裡的時候就成了目的地。

When LeBron and Chris Bosh went there to join Dwyane Wade for another title run, it became another destination team in the league.

當勒布朗和克里斯-波什去那裡和德懷恩-韋德一起再次奪冠時，它就成了聯盟中的另一支目的球隊。

Now that Jimmy Butler has elevated this team to this position, what type of destination is Miami as it relates to getting those additional players you're talking about as early as this year?

現在，吉米-巴特勒已經將這支球隊提升到了這個位置，邁阿密是一個什麼樣的目的地，因為它涉及到今年年初得到你所說的那些額外的球員？

Excuse me this offseason to make another title run in 21 right?

不好意思，這個休賽期要在21年再奪冠吧？

You laid out two great examples of when they were destinations for teams that were on the brink of winning a championship, and they added the right piece and they were able to do that.

你擺出了兩個很好的例子，當他們是那些瀕臨奪冠的球隊的目的地時，他們加入了正確的作品，他們能夠做到這一點。

But every year we talk about Miami is a destination for free agents, and usually it's based on the climate, right, and we talked a lot about South Beach and those kinds of things, and it seems like he'd always in the mix.

但每年我們都會談論邁阿密是自由球員的目的地，通常是基於氣候，對吧，我們談了很多關於南海灘和那些種類的東西，似乎他總是在組合中。

Well, now you have another group where the destination now becomes something we talk about because you can win a championship there as they have done in the past.

好吧，現在你有了另一個小組，目的地現在成為我們談論的東西，因為你可以在那裡贏得冠軍，就像他們過去所做的那樣。

And I think what you saw out of this group and what Erik Spoelstra got this team to do and the way that they played.

我認為你所看到的這支球隊 以及埃裡克-斯波爾斯特拉讓這支球隊做的事情和他們打球的方式。

If you don't love the way the Miami Heat play, that you just don't understand the game of basketball, because when I watch them play, I see a group of guys that absolutely no, they could look each other in the eye and they can count on each other to be there for them.

如果你不喜歡邁阿密熱火隊打球的方式，那你就是不瞭解籃球比賽，因為當我看他們打球的時候，我看到了一群人，絕對沒有，他們可以看著對方的眼睛，他們可以依靠對方來支持他們。

As teammates.

作為隊友。

Defensively, the ball will get moved to the open guy when it's supposed to.

防守上，球會在該轉移的時候被轉移到空位的人身上。

That builds trust, and when you're watching that from afar and whether you're a star player, role player, all star, whatever it may be, you watch that style of play.

這就建立了信任，當你在遠處觀看時，不管你是明星球員，角色球員，全明星，不管它是什麼，你都會觀看這種風格的比賽。

You absolutely look at that and say That is something that I want to buy into because those guys won.

你絕對是看在眼裡，說那是我想買的東西，因為那些人贏了。

They look like they really like each other.

他們看起來好像很喜歡對方。

They're having fun, going to work every day.

他們很開心，每天都在上班。

You know, they're exceptionally well coached, and there's something about playing in that style where, you know, you walk in that locker room and you can trust the people around you.

你知道，他們的訓練非常好，而且在那種風格下打球，你知道，你走進更衣室，你可以信任你周圍的人。

That's what players air looking for, ultimately, so you're 100% right.

這也是玩家們所追求的，最終，所以你是100%正確的。

They should be at the top of any destination for a free agent because that player could make a difference and put them back on top of the NBA champions.

他們應該在任何自由球員的目的地中名列前茅，因為這名球員可以讓他們有所改變，並讓他們重回NBA冠軍之巔。
