He had plenty of experience with this!
Back in the day, Shaquille O'Neal led his team to a "4-game winning streak" during his "injury" period and completely gained the authority in the team.
That's how it goes on the basketball court, whoever can lead the team to win is the "boss"!
In the opening game, LeBron hadn't held out much hope.
The New York Knicks were what, monsters and demons, how could they be a match for Wade, Chris Bosh, and David Lee.
But surprisingly!
They played a crazy three-point touch, showing signs of crushing the Heat Team right from the start.
It would have been great if they had actually crushed the Heat Team!
However, Spoelstra's happiness didn't last long. After the timeout, the Heat Team adjusted their defense, pressuring Su Wan, not giving him the chance to face off with Wade one-on-one, and forcing the entire Knicks team to move the ball.
He also figured out that there was something wrong with the Knicks' starting lineup.
