MIAMI — Of all the playoff memories, one from rock bottom is Erik
Spoelstra's favorite.
It involves his boss, a few bottles of wine and a search for answers after
the Miami Heat's Game 3 debacle in San Antonio. Only Monday could the Heat
coach can smile when recounting the scene after that 113-77 loss — one of
the biggest blowouts in NBA Finals history.
"I was despondent," he said. "I was beside myself."
So he went back to his hotel suite to break down some game film. Video
coordinator Dan Craig was there too. About 20 minutes later, there was a
knock at the door.
There stood Heat president Pat Riley with three bottles of wine and an
offering of help.
"So we gave him a laptop and he helped us break down film in a role reversal
from 2006," said Spoelstra, a Heat assistant coach under Riley back then. "It
was one of the most special moments in my professional career."
The Heat came back to win Game 4 by a comfortable 109-93 margin. It speaks to
the growth of Spoelstra's relationship with Riley.
"For the first two years he didn't know my name," Spoelstra said. "Working so
many hats for him and eventually becoming his assistant and it coming full
circle."
热火今年夺冠之路异常艰难。总决赛第三场，他们77-103惨败马刺，遭遇NBA总决赛
史上最大惨败之一。
“我很沮丧，”主教练SPO说，“我发疯了。”之后他回到了酒店，与录像分析师Dan
Craig一起分解录像。
20分钟后，球队总裁Pat Riley 来了。带来了3瓶酒和自己的帮助。
“我们给了他一台笔记型电脑，他帮助我们分析了录像，我们和2006年的角色互换了，”
SPO当时是Riley手下的助理教练，“这是我职业生涯最特殊的时刻之一。”
在接下来的第四场，热火以109-93大胜对手。
在SPO之前，Riley是热火的主教练。Riley在2006年带领球队拿到了队史首座总冠军。
