2020 NBA playoffs came later than in previous years, and the 2020 NBA Finals is even more distant. At this time in previous years, fans were looking forward to the opening of the finals. Often many rounds of cruel battles, teams with poor strength or luck all went home to fish. The last two teams in the east and west are showing off their style on the highest stage and are being followed by hundreds of millions of NBA fans.
Heat
US time On June 5, 2014, the NBA Finals kicked off at Spurs home court, and the experienced Spurs are facing the defending champion Heat. The previous year, it was also on this stage that the Spurs were knocked out by the Heat's Ray Allen deadly three-pointer, and he had no choice but to miss the championship. In 2014, we met again on the stage of the finals. The two sides should have been like Mars hitting the Earth, and the game was hard to solve, but this was not the case. In this series, the Heat were pressed 4:1 on the ground by the Spurs, and the Heat had almost no strength to fight back. The Spurs could be said to have easily won the championship.
James was ranked
2013-2014 Spurs ranked first in the league in the regular season record of 62 wins and 20 losses, while the Heat ranked second in the Eastern Conference with a record of 54 wins and 28 losses.

Comparative analysis of objective data between James and Leonard
In 2014, James has already won two championships and has been fighting in the league for more than 10 years. Leonard in 2014 has just entered the NBA league for the third season, and his regular season data performance is not outstanding. averaged only 12.8 points, while James averaged 27.1 points in the regular season in the 2013-2014 season. It can be said that judging from the regular season performance, Leonard and James cannot be compared. Let’s compare how the objective data performance of both sides in the whole season is?
James and Leonard data comparison
Judging from the data in the above chart, James' data in scoring, assists and rebounds comprehensively crushes Leonard. James averaged 28.2 points in 5 games, while Leonard had only 17.8 points; James averaged 4 assists, while Leonard had only 2 rebounds, and James had 7.8 rebounds per game, while Leonard had 6.4 . In terms of horizontal comparison, James is absolutely dominant, but from the perspective of vertical comparison, judging from James' own performance, James is far from playing in the regular season's data, with an average of 6.3 assists per game in the regular season, and only 4 assists per game in the finals, with 2.3 assists missing, which shows that the Spurs have done a very good job in limiting James to drive his teammates.
James and Leonard average shooting percentage
in terms of data, James is more than one level ahead of Leonard. From the stability analysis, we can see from the above chart data that Leonard's shooting stability is very good. With such high defensive intensity in the finals, Leonard's average shooting percentage can reach 59.7%, while James' average shooting percentage of 57.44% is also very good. The two are almost the same as the stability and prudence of the finals. Leonard shot over 70% in both games three and fifth games and scored very efficiently. The Spurs won the game with big scores in both games.In this finals, Leonard showed the potential of a superstar.
Comparing the core players of the two teams, James' overall strength is one level higher than Leonard.
Spurs
The overall scoring method of the team
2013-2014 NBA games, the concept of small ball has begun to spread to the league, but it has not yet fully bloomed. The team began to slowly focus on three-point shooting, not just the strength competition in the inside. Let’s take a look at whether there are any differences in the scoring methods of the two teams?
Spurs and the Heat score method compare
Judging from the scoring method of the two teams, the Heat were completely suppressed by the Spurs. As can be seen from the above chart, in terms of the number of hits of two-pointers, the Spurs scored 14 more than the Heat with 136-122, and in terms of the number of three-pointers, the Spurs scored 9 more three-pointers, 55-46, and in terms of the number of free throws, the Spurs scored 15 more free throws with 91-76. In other words, whether it is one point, two points or three-pointers, the Spurs suppress the Heat, so it is reasonable for the Heat to lose the game in the entire series.
Comparison and analysis of rebounding data between the Spurs and the Heat
In terms of offensive scoring, the Spurs completely suppressed the Heat, leaving the Heat without the strength to fight back. Let's compare the defensive data.
Spurs and Heat rebound data comparison
From the above chart data, it can be seen that Spurs' overall rebound leads the Heat 19 189 to 170, with nearly 4 rebounds per game, 150 to 135 rebounds per game, 3 more rebounds per game, and 3 more rebounds per game, and 170 rebounds per game. Rebound directly controls the offense and defense rhythm of the entire game. There is a saying in the NBA that "those who win rebounds win the world." A team like the Spurs, which has mature and young and dynamic players, not only controls the rhythm of offense, but also suppresses the Heat in terms of rebounds. It deserves its reputation to win the championship 4-1 in the entire series.
The Heat's rebounding mainly loses on Bosh . As an inside player, Bosh averages only 5.2 rebounds per game in the entire series, which is less than Leonard's 6.2 rebounds per game.
James and Leonard competed with
Comparison of data between the Heat and the Spurs in other aspects
From a big comparison of data, the Heat were completely at a disadvantage in this finals and were not a match for the Spurs. Let’s compare the data in other aspects.
Spurs and the Heat's other data comparison
details determine success or failure. The Heat are generally at a disadvantage in both offense and defense, because of the above details. From the above chart data, we can see that the Heat's tactical cooperation and the connection between teammates has been cut off. The Spurs averaged 25.4 assists per game, while the Heat's average assists per game was only 15.2, with 10.2 assists per game, less. The Heat's control is mainly in the hands of James. From this data, it can be seen that the Spurs cut off the connection between James and other teammates. In terms of steals per game and turnover per game, there is no obvious difference between the Heat and the Spurs. In terms of block data per game, the Heat are 1.2 fewer than the Spurs.
Spurs and Heat first and second half data analysis
The Heat and Spurs in the 2014 Finals are already very mature in terms of team maturity. The Heat have been combined for 4 years, not to mention the Spurs. Although the GDP is relatively old, there is no problem with each other's tacit understanding and maturity. The young Leonard can play with ease in the Spurs system.
Comparison of the first half score data of the Heat and the Spurs
From the above chart data, it can be seen that in 5 games, the Heat were dominant in 4 games in the first half. Except for the second game, the Heat and the Spurs tied, and narrowly won two points in the second half.The Spurs are a team with stable offense and defense. If the Spurs are allowed to have a great advantage in the first half, especially in the third and fourth games, the Spurs led by 21 points and 19 points in the first half of the away game. It is very likely that will turn around in the second half. In the 2013 finals, the Spurs fell apart and would never give them any chance in the 2014 finals. From this set of data analysis, it can be seen that the Heat were basically suppressed by the Spurs in the first half, and their psychological advantages were beaten by the Spurs and they collapsed directly.
summary
Although the Heat's lineup in 2014 did not change much, the Heat's players' form plummeted. Except for James' peak, the performance of Wade in the finals was much different from the previous year, with an average of only 15.2 points per game. Bosh was forcibly suppressed by 38-year-old Duncan. As a 3D player, Bathir lost his courageous state of the previous year. plus the growth of Spurs Green and Leonard, the Spurs' GDP is much more stable than the performance of the Heat's three giants. Adding up inside and outside, the Heat was completely suppressed by the Spurs .
Heat
players have a big gap in mentality. Spurs are all players who want to "revenge", while the players of the Heat seem to have satisfied their mentality. In the finals for four consecutive years, some players of the Heat have already been content, and some players just regard this as a job. They are tired and tired, so they don't want to continue to struggle. Three consecutive championships are not important for role players.
So, the Spurs won the Heat in the finals of this year.
