On April 25, Beijing time, when the Heat defeated the Hawks to take a 3-1 lead to win the match point, Oladipo finally ushered in this year's playoff debut. After the game, Butler and Oladipo responded to the rumors of discord between the two, Butler bluntly said that the outside world used to treat him as a bad guy, and Oladipo also deliberately humored and ridiculed "Jimmy (Butler) hates me, guys." ”
In a heat-winning game, Butler efficiently bombed the all-around stats of 36 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals on 12-of-21 shooting, and did not send a single turnover in the whole game, completing his second single-game performance of at least 35 points and 0 turnovers in the playoffs this year.
Butler is naturally the number one contributor to the Heat's wins, and the previous 3 playoff games were all unintended Oladipo, he finally ushered in this year's playoff debut, but also he played in the playoffs after two years. Despite Oladipo's poor 3-of-10 crosshairs, especially 0-of-5 from the outside, Oladipo had 6 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, plus-minus of +28.
In response to the rumors of previous public opinion, especially the famous Skip Bayless said that the reason why Oladipo was previously hidden was because Butler directly approached Heat coach Spollstra and said that he did not want to play with Oladipo.
In response, Butler now officially debunks the rumors, "I'm used to it, I'm always treated like that bad guy, it's okay, the Heat welcomes the bad guys, I love my brothers." ”
As for Oladipo, he was humorous and teased, "Jimmy (Butler) hates me, guys. ”
Butler further said, "As you can see, Oladipo was one of the key factors in our win today and he deserved to get a chance to play, but it's not my decision and I'm not going to tell anybody about it." I always told him to be himself and stay aggressive. ”
When Butler and Oladipo join forces to crush the discord rumors, the Heat have taken a 3-1 lead to win the match point, no doubt just one step away from advancing to the next round.
