The NBA regular season continued, and the Heat's game against the Spurs officially began. After the game started, the Spurs took the lead in attacking on the offensive end, and the defensive end was also very good at limiting the Heat's offense. In the first quarter, the Spurs led by 12 points. I believe that most fans who watched the first quarter of the game will think that the Spurs can win this game. However, after entering the second quarter, the Heat sounded the clarion call to fight back. Two quarters of battle, anti-score. In the end, after four quarters of fighting, the Heat defeated the Spurs 133-129.
Objectively speaking, although the Spurs lost this game, the performance of the Spurs in this game is worthy of recognition. Because, in this game, the Spurs have done very well in terms of control of details and efficiency of attack. Let's take a look at a few sets of data. Rebounding: The Spurs grabbed 46 rebounds and the Heat 32 rebounds. In terms of assists: The Spurs delivered 33 assists and the Heat 25 assists. Shooting percentage: Spurs shooting 55% from the field and 45% from three-point range. The Heat shot 56 percent from the field and 42 percent from three-point range. Unfortunately, the Spurs' hard power at key moments is still not as good as the Heat.
Okay, after talking about the losing Spurs, let's talk about the Heat that won. There is no doubt that one of the most crucial aspects of this game that the Heat can close is Butler's excellent performance. Butler played 29 minutes and shot 7-of-11 from the field, including 1-of-2 from three-point range and 12-of-15 from the free throw line, and got 27 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. I believe that the fans will be very confused when they see here, and everyone will definitely ask a question. Butler doesn't have Adebayodo in scoring, no Dydmundo in rebounds, no Loredo in assists, so why is Butler the key to winning?
For everyone's doubts, I just want to say that "Butler's role at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is that the data cannot be fully reflected." First of all, the offensive end, butler is really not shining enough on the offensive end, he does not have a great dunk scene, nor how gorgeous steps, but Butler's play on the offensive end is very practical. As long as the Heat score is in trouble, as long as the Heat want to play the key ball, then it must be Butler who stands up and scores. Because Butler knows how to use his body to play, how to use his skills to stand on the free throw line. Defensively, Butler is the Heat's best defensive player, butler is not afraid of any front line when defending alone, and Butler is always able to block the Spurs' vacancy in time when assisting in defense. In a word, attacking Butler is the tactical core of the Heat, and defending Butler is the golden oil of the Heat.
After winning the game, the Heat's record reached 40 wins and 21 losses, ranking first in the East. Also, after winning the game, the Heat also led the Bulls by 0.5 wins and slowly opened up the gap with the Bulls, sitting firmly in the first place in the East. I don't know, what do you think of this Heat now? Anyway, I have only one evaluation of the Heat, that is, as long as the Heat can be healthy, then the Heat definitely has the strength to compete for the championship. Even if there are three strong teams in the East, Philadelphia, bulls and Nets, the Heat still have the strength to rush out of the East to reach the Finals.
