Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward:

"For us, we know when we face teams we're going to get their best shot and we can't go from their past games - they're here, they're here no matter how they got here, every road is different and, you know, we know they're a tough team."

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward:

"I love going on the road, I love performing at a high level on the road. You know, hopefully I could put together some performances that can help us get some wins."

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward:

"At the end of the day it's competition, just try to put yourself in the best possible chance to win and that's it. All the other shorelines really don't matter to me. I just want to win and I have to be there for my team mates to help them succeed."
