Last season, although he lost to Celtics in the tiebreak battle in the Eastern Conference Finals, this still cannot deny that Heat has played a successful season. They achieved the first record in the Eastern Conference with 53 wins and 29 losses, and are just a short distance from returning to the finals. Moreover, even if they lost the game, they still successfully retained the lineup of last season. In the new season that is about to begin, they are still one of the favorites to win the championship.
In this Heat, if you want to say who is the team leader, it must be Jimmy Butler . In addition to him, there is 25-year-old young center Bam Adebayo . He executes tactics diligently in the inside, and is only 2.06 meters tall but supports the team's inside. This inevitably reminds people of the team's previous generation of inside overlord Chris Bosh . During the Big Three period, although Bosh was the one who sacrificed the most, no one dared to underestimate him.
You should know that he has been selected as the All-Star in his career, and only a few people have been able to do this in the entire NBA history. However, at the peak of 32 years old, Bosh chose to retire, which also led to the decline of Heat afterwards, and it did not recover until the last two years. So, what happened back then? Let’s take a look at Bosh’s story together!
talent is fully revealed, becoming Dragon King of Toronto !
In high school, Bosh, who attended Lincoln High School, had already shown excellent talent. He averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds per game in the year of high school, and led the team to a remarkable record of 40 wins. Therefore, he became Texas No. 1 high school student without dispute. After entering university, under the guidance of famous coach Paul Hanwitt, Bosh became the main core of the team in his freshman year, averaging 15.9 points and 9 rebounds per game. Under his leadership, Georgia Tech also became a powerful team. Such excellent team-leading ability made Bosh be known by scouts early on. With the support of coach Hamwitt, Bosh directly chose to enter the NBA after graduating from his freshman year. In the 2003 Platinum generation, he was selected by the Toronto Raptors in the fourth pick.
Although the Raptors big brother at that time was still Vince Carter , Carter was still happy to do some pick-and-roll cooperation with this rookie to help him quickly learn from his experience and adapt to the NBA as soon as possible. In his rookie season, he averaged 11.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, but the Raptors only achieved a poor record of 33 wins and 49 losses, which also made the conflict between Carter and the team worsen. In the 2004-05 season, Carter began to show a negative attitude in the game, and the team finally made a choice, training Bosh as the core and sending Carter away.
Thanks to the team's cultivation, Bosh showed very good inside strength in the 22+9 season, and his average data averaged to 22+9. Although the team's record is poor, Bosh's ability is absolutely unquestionable, so he is also the first time he has entered the All-Star. In the 2006-07 season, he continued to maintain his 22+10 level performance, and led the Raptors to a record of 47 wins and 35 losses, returning to the ranks of playoffs . In the following years, Bosh has always been one of the best power forwards in the league. Unfortunately, the team's signings were not good and his record could not break through the first round of the playoffs.
09-10 season, Bosh scored his best career 24 points and 10.8 rebounds, but in sharp contrast, the team's record was only 40 wins and 42 losses. Finally, in that summer, Bosh chose to run away.
group of the three giants and are willing to sacrifice to win the championship.
In the summer of 2010, an incident that changed the entire NBA landscape occurred. Bosh, James and Wade gathered in Miami to form the three most powerful giants in history. However, although the team's lineup is almost invincible on the books, you should know that these three star players were all led by themselves before, and they all needed to have the ball in hand to exert their maximum power. Therefore, someone among the three must make sacrifices, and Bosh is naturally the first choice.In the 10-11 season, his usage rate was only 23.5%, which was the lowest year in his career except for rookie season. In addition, in order to ensure that James has enough space to hit the basket, Bosh had to leave the low post he was good at and instead look for opportunities at mid- and long distances. But even so, he was able to contribute 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds, and even took the initiative to take on the role of blue-collar workers in the playoffs. Unfortunately, they eventually lost the championship in the finals.
However, in 2012, the Heat showed a stronger sense of oppression than the previous year. In the Eastern Conference Finals, facing the Celtics with an injury, Bosh came on the court with an injury, not only perfectly restricted the previously active Garnett , but also made 8 of 10 shots, scoring 19 points and 8 rebounds efficiently, making great contributions to the team's entry into the finals again. In the finals that year, the Heat, who had a very good running-in, easily defeated Thunder 4:1, and Bosh finally tasted the taste of the championship.
12-13 season, Bosh continued to play the role of blue-collar worker. He only contributed 12.1 points and 7.3 rebounds throughout the playoffs, but you should know that he put more energy on defense. At that time, the Heat often needed Bosh to top the inside. When facing the powerful Spurs , in the sixth game, they played with a back-to-back. Bosh grabbed the key frontcourt rebound at the last moment, and found Ray Allen in the bottom corner, and hit the record-breaking three-pointer. The Heat also played a very important role in the tiebreaker and defended the championship. Bosh played a very important role.
instinct once again reached its peak, but was forced to retire due to illness.
13-14 season, the Heat, which is determined to defend the title, have encountered many problems. Although they reached the finals again, facing the Spurs, which are at the peak of the basketball system of the NBA historical team, they have no power to resist. They have been defeated by the Spurs boys in a shameful record of creating the greatest net difference in the finals. After failing to defend the title, the Heat also ushered in a "breakup meal". James returned to Cleveland , announcing that the three arrogant giants have disintegrated since then. The team's problems at this time were quite serious. Wade's knee injury had already caused him to retreat from the altar, and the team could only carry out tactics around Bosh. Bosh not only returned to the low post this year, but also performed very well, but also developed three-point shooting, averaging 21.1 points and 7 rebounds per game. Unfortunately, he only played 44 games due to injury, and Wade was also troubled by injuries. The Heat only achieved a record of 37 wins and 45 losses this season.
15-16 season, although Bosh averaged 19.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, under the leadership of him and Wade, the tactical system of this Heat is very similar to the current Heat. Whiteside guards the inside, Dragic controls the entire team, and Joe Johnson and Lore Deng are looking for opportunities on the wing. They have no players with explosive data, but their performance is extremely outstanding. Just when the Heat fans were looking forward to Bosh's return to the top, bad news came. Because there is a blood clot in the body, it is very likely that there will be embolism during strenuous exercise. Once it occurs, it will be life-threatening if it is not treated in time. Bosh was unable to pass the NBA physical examination and was eventually forced to retire at the age of 32. At the retirement ceremony of the jersey prepared by the Heat for Bosh, he once again staged a passionate roar to celebrate, which also contained all kinds of sadness and unwillingness. Even though he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, for Bosh, the failure to continue his career is a regret that he will never forget in his life.
