“Next stop, San Antonio!”

“Two games away from history!”

“0-3 comeback = Heat!”

……

AmericanAirlines Arena, the night of Game 6.

One hour before the game, the arena was already packed.

Many fans held eye-catching signs.

They had felt hopeless when they were down 0-3, but after the Heat rallied to 2-3, they could see the light of victory before their eyes!

In the commentary booth, the Big Three of Barkley, Smith, and O'Neal had already started warming up.

CCTV, including Zhang Weiping, and television broadcasts around the world were also ready to go.

Although this wasn't a Game 7, every game since the Spurs went up 3-0 had been a match point, and every game could be the final game of the series.

In the Spurs' locker room, Tang Tian was chatting with Green about the game when a staff member suddenly said at the door that someone was looking for him.

He went outside and saw Walker, Thompson, and Irving.

They had come to Miami to watch the game together.

"Kemba, you didn't give me a heads-up again."

Tang Tian smiled and hugged Walker, then bumped fists with Thompson and Irving.

"We said we'd give you a surprise," Thompson said.

"Klay here is already itching to play," Walker added.

"Not me, I heard Jimmy is also waiting for you, he seems to be here tonight too," Thompson continued.

Butler?

Tang Tian then remembered that when they played the Bulls on the road during the regular season, he had promised Butler that they would train together in the offseason.

The Spurs had made it to the Finals, and Butler had been waiting for almost two months.

"Soon."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

After a brief exchange, Walker and the others went to the game.

"Go Spurs."

Walker gave Tang Tian another hug before leaving.

As teammates from UConn, although they hadn't been in touch much during the season, they were still the best of friends.

Tang Tian smiled and patted Walker on the shoulder, then turned and went back to the locker room.

Back in the locker room, the players were getting up one by one, ready to go to the court.

"Guys, I know you're used to games like this, but I still want to say a few more words."

Tang Tian stood up and spoke.

His teammates all looked at him.

Tang Tian was well-liked on the team, and with his clutch shots in the Finals, he had a lot of say in the locker room despite being a rookie.

"Everyone outside thinks the Heat will make history. I don't know what you guys think, but I'm young and I don't like that kind of talk."

"Tang, nobody likes that," Parker said.

"Yeah, nobody, so I think we should go out there tonight with some anger, play with our aggression, and show everyone we don't like it!"

Tang Tian said, emphasizing his tone.

Ginobili and Green both nodded in agreement, and the other teammates followed suit.

What Tang Tian said was true, and emotions were an important part of the game.

"I believe age won't diminish our passion, even if it's rare! We should let it reignite tonight in Miami, beat them on the road! Prove to everyone that old guys can be crazy too!"

"Beat them!" Leonard suddenly shouted.

The shout immediately drew sidelong glances from the other teammates.

Leonard was acting uncharacteristically, he wasn't the type to be easily swayed.

But Leonard's eyes were firm, Tang Tian was the person he trusted most besides his uncle.

"You've got me itching to go, but I know you're right, we should beat them tonight," Ginobili said.

"You're a natural speaker, I don't care anymore, I already want to go up there and beat them up!" Diaw said with a grin.

"Come on, let's get to work!" Parker called to his teammates.

The players reached out their hands one by one, making a fist and bumping them together.

"Beat them," Duncan said, finally bumping his fist over.

"Beat them!" the players shouted in unison.

The Spurs' locker room was filled with something rarely seen, passion.

Tang Tian was also excited.

He was very good at giving pep talks in his previous life, but it wasn't easy to motivate a group of old guys.

Popovich waited for a long time for the players to come out, and was stunned when he came back and saw the scene.

These old guys, why are they all so excited?

Half an hour before the game, the players from both teams came out of the player tunnel one after another.

Tang Tian was the first one out for the Spurs, and he reached out and touched the braided bracelet on his wrist as he came out.

This was the second time he had worn it.

"The Spurs seem a little different tonight," Barkley in the commentary booth noticed the Spurs' change right away.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, they look very excited," Kenny Smith nodded in agreement.

It's normal for most teams to be excited, but for the Spurs, it's a rare sight to see.

"Look at Tim, well, his face hasn't changed much, but look at Parker and Ginobili, they look like they want to beat someone up."

Barkley used a very vivid adjective.

"They know that Game 7 is not in their favor, and they are ready to go all out in this game," O'Neal explained.

This was a very reasonable explanation, and Barkley and Smith both nodded in agreement.

"Tonight's game will be very intense, all the fans have to be prepared," Smith gave the audience a heads-up.

After the players from both teams entered the court, they began their final warm-up before the game.

A reporter on the sidelines caught Wade, who was standing next to the scorer's table.

The microphone was also connected to the arena DJ's microphone, ready to have Wade say something before the game to stir up the atmosphere.

"I noticed the Spurs seem a little excited tonight, the game might be very intense, is there anything you want to say?"

"The team is ready, something like that."

After the reporter asked the question and handed over the topic, he added in a low voice.

Wade glanced at the reporter, then pointed behind him and said calmly.

"This is my house."

Wade's most classic line.

It felt completely different coming from his mouth than from Griffin's.

It was a natural aura.

One sentence was better than ten.

The emotions of the fans at the scene were instantly ignited.

Not long after the interview, the opening ceremony began.

The opening ceremony also pushed the already high emotions to a climax.

The Spurs' starting five, Parker and Green on the outside, Tang Tian and Leonard on the front line, and Duncan at center.

This was the ultimate version of the five-hard lineup.

The Heat's starting lineup remained unchanged, still the Big Three plus Chalmers and Battier.

This was the lineup they had used to win the previous two games.

After the opening ceremony, the players from both teams entered the court one after another.

James was the last to enter, he grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and scattered it into the air towards the audience.

Game 6, win or die!
