The great Japanese sleaze artist Yoshimura Taku once said, "I'm the kind of man who deteriorates if I don't use it."
Actually, this is the truth of the competitive world.
If a person gets used to slacking off and doesn't have the mentality of a protagonist, over time, they will just coast through life like a slacker because no matter how much or how little they do, life remains the same.
Chris Bosh's degeneration on the Miami Heat was a subjective choice, willing to become a slacker for the sake of winning games. This trend was evident even before Roy's injury on the Supersonics.
After Roy's injury, the Supersonics' ball distribution was reassessed, and the loss to the Lakers made Yu Fei realize that Bosh's performance could be the key.
Therefore, Bosh couldn't afford to be a slacker; he had to become the deciding factor in the game.
This change started tonight in the first quarter.
