The NBA regular season continues, and the Heat's game against the Hawks officially begins. Before the game, most fans would have predicted that the Heat would be able to win this game. After all, the heat's overall strength is far stronger than the Eagles. Sure enough, after the game started, the Heat played very efficiently on the offensive end, and the defensive end was also very good at limiting the Hawks' offense. In the first quarter, the Heat led by 10 points. Although the Hawks also overtook the score at one point in the second quarter, the Heat won the final quarter with a 30-19 offensive wave in the single quarter to reverse the Hawks 124-118.
Objectively speaking, there are only two people most responsible for the Eagles losing this game. One was Trae Young, who played 34 minutes in this game, shooting 7-of-13, including 3-of-7 from three-point range and 7-of-7 from the free throw line, with 24 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists. Although Yang's data is very shiny, Yang's 2 mistakes at key moments are undoubtedly the key to losing the game. The other is Bogdanovic, if Young is a mistake at a critical moment, then Bogdanovic is in the doldrums of the whole game. Bogdanovic played 22 minutes in the game, shooting 1-of-7, and had only 7 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. To put it bluntly, if one of the two players can play the normal Eagles, they will not lose the game.
Okay, after talking about the losing Hawks, let's talk about the Heat of winning. As for the reasons why the Heat won the game, I will not give you a one-by-one explanation here, and this article editor wants to focus on telling you about Butler, the player. Butler played 32 minutes, 7 of 13 shots, 9 of 9 from the free throw line, and got 23 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, plus or minus +19. Among them, the four statistics of scoring, assists, steals, and plus-minus are the highest in the team. Obviously, just from the data, you can see how well Butler played this game. For Butler's performance in this game, we can fully describe it as "true leader".
First of all, on the offensive end, Butler's offensive desire in the first three quarters is not strong, and there are not many scenes of taking the initiative to single the ball. However, after entering the final quarter, the Hawks rebounded the score, butler stepped forward to take on the team's offense. Especially in the final decisive moments, Butler's every attack is to the inside line, and his style of play can create a killing stand on the free throw line to score even if he can't score. In addition to the determination on the offensive end, Butler who combs the offensive end is also very good. Butler's big picture in this game is very good, as long as the Eagles pack Butler will play the ball, as long as the teammates have a good chance Butler will also pass the ball very selflessly, under his combing, the Heat's offense played very smoothly, and Butler's 10 assists in the whole game is the best proof.
After winning this game, the Heat's record came to 27-15 in second place in the East, trailing only the Bulls in the East. I don't know, how do you think of Butler now? Anyway, I have only one opinion of Butler, that is, we really misread Butler before, and we really underestimated Butler. To borrow a phrase from Butler teammate Adebayor, "Butler is a real superstar, and the league really underestimated him before." Yes, Adebayo's words are not false at all, and in terms of Butler's strength and reputation, the League really underestimated him.
