“It’s easy when you’re a young team, when you’re scoring at a high rate an
d you’re averaging 100 and something points per game to kind of lose sight of
what our identity is,” said Haslem, who has spent each of his 14 NBA seasons
with the Heat. “We’ll take the scoring, but the Miami Heat’s identity is a
lways going to be our defense.
「當你們是一個年輕的球隊時事情會很輕鬆，對你們來說每場比賽都能得高分，平均會超
過100分，但有些時候這會讓我們迷失了我們的本質」Haslem說，這位已經為熱火效
力了14個球季的球員。
「我們能搞定得分，但是邁阿密熱火的本質應該是我們的防守」
“Through the years, no matter what kind of talent we’ve had or what kind of
points we’ve been able to score or what the situation was offensively, we’ve
always had a defensive scheme that’s been successful in this league. I just
wanted the guys to understand that regardless of whether we’re scoring or wha
t our offense is doing, no matter how bad the defense of the other team may be
, we have our standards that we play at.”
「這麼多年來，不論我們永遠有什麼天賦或是不論我們能得多少分不論我們遭遇什麼困境
，我們一直擁有一個能讓我們在聯盟成功的防守體系，我只是希望大夥可以了解，不論我
們的進攻如何，對方的防守有多糟糕，我們都要按照自己的標準來打球」
熱火教練Spo談防守
“For three games, our defense has slipped,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said a
fter Monday’s practice. “Our offensive numbers have been terrific and that’
s skewed us a little bit in terms of remembering what our identity is. For thr
ee straight games, we’ve given up big numbers. We were just able to outscore
teams in the two previous games. We couldn’t last night and we paid the price
for it.”
「過去三場比賽，我們的防守崩解了」熱火教練Erik Spoelstra在週一的訓練後說
「我們的進攻端十分的棒而這掩蓋了我們的本質，過去三場比賽，我們放棄了防守，在前
兩場比賽，我們能得到比對手更多的分，我們昨晚沒有做到所以我們付出了代價。」
“It just makes me want to throw up,” Spoelstra said when asked about the Hea
t’s offense. “That’s where our mindset probably has been the last three gam
es, that it’s about offense. We’re putting up great offensive numbers. We ha
ve to score now 116 points to be able to win? It’s ridiculous. We’ve given u
p 115, 112 and 105. Well, we’re not going to win many games that way. That is
n’t the identity that we’ve built. We’re scoring enough, we’re building go
od enough habits.”
「這讓我感覺很不好」Spoelstra在被問到關於熱火隊的進攻時說道
「這可能就是過去三場比賽發生的事情，那跟進攻有關，我們在進攻上端的表現非常棒，
但是我們真的需要得到116分才能贏球?這很荒謬，我們讓對手得了115,112跟105分，這個
嗎，我們不可能用這種方式贏下太多比賽，這並不是我們一直以來的球風，我們的得分足
夠了，我們要打造良好的習慣」
