熱火隊今年季後賽締造的「老八傳奇」,驚奇成分愈來愈濃。昨天一票選秀落選的球員火力全開,只花三節就鎖定勝利,當家球星「士官長」巴特勒還做出暫停手勢嘲諷對手,第四節更直接當啦啦隊,見證球隊以128:102輕鬆擊敗塞爾蒂克隊,東區決賽取得3:0的「聽牌」絕對領先。

熱火昨命中率超過5成6,其中三分球35投19中、命中率超過5成4,中鋒阿德巴約形容「對大家來說,籃框就像海一樣大。」
昨大勝是由熱火的選秀落選球員領銜,文森14投11中轟下全場最高29分,板凳出發的羅賓森三分球7投5中貢獻22分,馬丁也有18分,讓總教練史波史特拉離領軍熱火闖進第6次的總冠軍賽只差一勝。

文森強調,系列賽要贏下4場纔是結束,「我們不會3勝就滿足。」根據統計,季後賽前3戰都奪勝的隊伍,出線機率是百分百,熱火在同樣狀況下更有8勝0敗完美戰績,最快將在明天進行的第4戰搶下總冠軍賽門票。

熱火當家球星巴特勒昨只打31分鐘就收工,他第三節大幅領先下還做出「暫停」動作,向第一戰做出同樣舉動的塞爾蒂克長人霍福特「致敬」,誇張動作引起討論。
