In the final game of the regular season, he played 35 minutes and 31 seconds, while scoring 40 points, he also scored 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.
Now, the playoff team has finished two games, but he is firmly pressed to the bench and has not been saved for 1 second of playing time.
Isn't it strange that such a thing is not strange?
Such a thing happened to the Miami Heat in the East.
As of the early morning of April 23, the first round of the playoffs, the Miami Heat led the Atlanta Hawks by 2-0, and as usual, there was no suspense in this group of showdowns.
Team boss Butler did quite well, with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists on 9-of-15 shooting in the first game and 45 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the second game.
The Heat, who have a high probability of easily passing in the first round, are likely to be Philadelphia, Harden and Embiid in the eastern conference semifinals, and Philadelphia has led the Raptors 3-0.
Against Philadelphia, it's not destined to be as easy as playing the Eagles. On the team's bench, there is still a former genius list, but the next game may not refer to him.
There was no way, because he made the boss dissatisfied. He was Oladipo, who was bombarded 40+10+7 in the final game of the regular season.
Supposedly, such a performance is at least worthy of the rotation lineup, but strangely enough, Oladipo played in the playoffs. The reason, the famous Skip Bayless revealed on the show, is because Butler directly warned head coach Spollstra that as long as he plays on the field, he does not want to see Oladipo appear on the same field!
Good guy, Butler exited, sure enough to be "domineering" enough. There is you without me, there is no me without you, since this multiple choice question must be done, Spoelstra does not need to hesitate and think, can only give up the eyes of the bitter fate.
And this is not the first time Butler has struck a blow at his own team, in this season's regular season loss to the Warriors, Butler and the team's leading big brother Haslem had a fierce quarrel.
In the face of Haslem's warning that it's okay if you want to fight, I'll beat you to the point of, Butler could only think in pieces. Not only that, butler also got into an argument with Spollstra.
This time, Butler has targeted Oladipo again, and Oladipo, who was "banned" by Butler, has just seen a glimmer of light, and has been forced to press at the end of the bench, can his fate be flipped again?
How far can the Heat, the no. 1 in the East, go in the playoffs this season?
