On February 2, the NBA regular season, the Heat visited Toronto to challenge the Raptors, this game Butler ushered in a comeback, yesterday he swallowed a fiasco after the break, the ranking was also overtaken by the Bulls, fell to the second place in the East, so Butler's comeback is very critical for the Heat. During the game, Butler had an offensive foul that hit Butcher's crotch, a very sensitive position.
It was the middle of the third quarter, butler went around a circle and jumped, but unfortunately, under but under but under the defense of Butcher, Butler shot three times. After landing on the ground, Butcher fell to the ground, he was kicked in the crotch by Butler while defending, fell to the ground in pain, and then did not get up for a long time.
When the camera is given to Butler, he does not come forward to comfort him, but walks away, and even has a dismissive expression, obviously he does not think much of this foul. The referee's penalty was an offensive foul, which was not escalated after watching the live replay.
Butler really didn't mean it, so the referee didn't give a first-degree malicious foul, but it did hurt the Raptors. Butcher has averaged 9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game this season, which is a bit of a discount compared to last season's performance.
Of course, I hope that similar things will not happen again, and players need to pay attention to their own behavior on the field and try not to cause harm to the opponent, which is also very critical. There are not many injuries in players this season, such as Brother Thick Brow, Harden, Durant, Middleton and others, who have encountered a wave of injuries, so players need to pay more attention to the action.
