Since its birth, the sport of basketball has been destined to be a team sport of five, and the strength of one person alone cannot go further. After the disintegration of the Lakers dynasty led by the former "OK combination", Kobe Bryant could not take the team to a more distant place even if he played an attack averaging 35+ points per game, and this experience made him deeply understand that the team needed a second boss, and he needed a deputy to assist, otherwise winning the championship was tantamount to a fool's dream. Isn't that? After the Lakers won the inside gasol in 2008, the team's immediate combat power was further improved, and then reached the stage of the Finals for three consecutive years and won two of the championships.
Only when the star can mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates, work together and unite, the team has the possibility of winning the championship. Butler's growth as a low-level counterattack star is very rational and worth learning from young juniors, which is an inspirational model for the rise of a single body. However, if measured by the standard of the championship, Butler's idol is still debatable and still needs to be tested. After starting from the Bulls in the past and becoming the core of the team with his own efforts, he slowly became the top forward of the league that cannot be ignored.
But we also saw that even with star teammates Rose and Gasol, the team still can't go further in the playoffs. After that, he came to the Timberwolves, formed a big three with Towns and Wiggins, and scolded Downs for being soft during the team, this uncompromising soft egg, the Timberwolves are only a playoff round. Not long after, he joined the 76ers to form the Big Three with Embiid and Simmons, and played with the Raptors in the final moments of the seventh, but was killed by Leonard, and then chose to join the Heat.
Leaving Philadelphia is also a dissatisfaction with the manager's tactics, as the fans revealed: "Playing the Raptors in the first game lost the emotional suspicion of the ball less, and then Simmons handed over the ball as a pure blue collar defense Leonard, although Butler played ok behind but could not stand Embiid's attack too water, and finally lost." In the summer, Simmons Butler wants the ball, the 76ers choose the younger Simmons, Butler goes to the Heat for the ball and the top salary; then Butler frantically interacts with Embiid, as if they were victims of that series (last year Simmons's crime was a later story)! ”
When the Heat led the Hawks 2-0 in the first round of the 21-22 playoffs, something happened to Butler: Well-known commentator Skip Bayless said on the show about Oladipo's failure to play in the playoffs: "Oladipo didn't have a chance to play in either game, why? I've been told that it's because Butler told Coach Spoo directly that he didn't want to play on the same field as Oladipo! In the finale of the regular season, Oladipo played 35 minutes and 31 seconds, contributing 40 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, which is still a fully effective defender.
Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, this kind of behavior is very much in line with Butler's personality, and he does not like it and will not hide it. Both are famous superstars in the style of playing with the ball, and once Audi can play such offensive data, it means that Butler's attention to the Heat will be divided, and his position in the team may also be affected. One situation, as fans say, is that Butler is worried that Audi will steal the position of the team boss with himself, and it is not impossible. If this is the case, it means that the Heat's current core Butler's pattern is too small, dooming the team to not be able to go further.
History always tells us that the fall of the wall eventually led to the disintegration of the team, let alone the championship. Butler, who has had infighting with his teammates more than once, should wake up; once he maintains his personality, he is just a prick with a top salary. Even if the big three still can't win the championship, I really hope that Butler can put down some figures, unite teammates for the sake of the big picture, and help the Heat go further.
