NBA regular season, the Warriors home to meet the Heat, this is a strong dialogue between the East and the West, the two sides in the first three quarters of the game is very anxious, although the Warriors in the first half once led by 13 points, but the Heat under butler's leadership has been tightly biting the score, and even had a counterattack, and at the end of the third quarter, there was an accident on the court, Butler accidentally injured in a single with the ball, and after he was injured, a heart-warming scene occurred on the court.
With 3:15 left in the third quarter, when the Heat trailed the Warriors by six points at 74-80, Butler singled Anderson on the right side with the ball, but unfortunately, Butler's right foot suddenly paused on the floor, and he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, and then struggled painfully on the floor.
After Butler fell, Warriors player Anderson stood next to Butler and also leaned over to inquire and tried to pull Butler up, but Butler covered his face with his hands and looked painful, obviously injured and unable to stand up.
At this time, another Warriors player Chasing Green also came over, he was next to ask Butler about the situation, and communicated with Lowry, and when Butler was ready to get up, Dream Green and Anderson immediately reached out to help Butler, directly pulled him up, and handed it to the Heat player next to him, and the Heat players Lowry and Martin helped Butler out of the court.
It can be said that this scene looks very heartwarming, usually there are players falling to the ground, the opponent will directly walk away to avoid unnecessary trouble, and after the game enters the suspension, it will also return to its own bench. However, the Warriors players did not do this, they stayed where they were, Anderson defended Butler, watched him fall to the ground and did not celebrate for the success of this defense, but stayed in place to care about Butler's situation, chasing Green, although considered the "evil man" on the court, he did not sit idly by, but walked from the other side to Butler, and greeted him with concern, looking like he was caring about his teammates.
When Butler was helped back to the locker room, the fans at the Chase Center, the Warriors' home stadium, also gave Butler a very kind applause, which was an encouragement for his outstanding performance in this game, and a blessing and prayer for his injury.
After Butler was injured, the Heat official pushed the first update news: Butler suffered a right ankle injury, and this game will not return.
