A few weeks ago, Erik Spoelstra was just an assistant coach helping the head coach, occasionally flirting with cheerleaders.
For a rookie coach who took over the team halfway, being down 0-2 in the finals is almost a dead end.
Because even he wasn't prepared, how could he help the players in adversity?
However, the gains from that past period gave him the courage to face all this at this moment.
"Listen guys, I know we just swept our opponents 4-0 in a series and thought we could conquer the world. Now suddenly we're down 0-2, which is far beyond our expectations, causing inevitable psychological disparity.
But that's professional sports; things won't always go our way, and they won't always wait for us until we're prepared. Setbacks and difficulties are unavoidable; they weaken your will and can bring down a team once strong.
But they will also make us stronger and more united!
I can responsibly tell you, don't worry, everything is still under control, trust me.
