In the first four games, he scored 21, 45, 20 and 36 points respectively, and was able to average 30.5 points per game, which is currently ranked second among all players in this year's playoffs, second only to Jokic's average of 31.3 points per game, and his overall shooting rate is as high as 54.3%, and his shooting rate is also 43.8% of the outside three-pointers that he is not good at, and many data are more than the regular season.

In this series, Butler's performance is perfect, in addition to the dominance performance on the offensive end, he is also top-notch on the defensive end. He managed to lock in Trae Young in the first four games, and Butler also had a very bright performance in limiting the Hawks' forward players, and under his defense, whether it was Trae Young, or Hurther, or Pogdan, they did not play very well.
Butler's performance at both ends of the game also convinced the away fans, in the G4 game, when Butler broke through the foul and walked to the free throw line, the Eagles fans chanted the slogan of Butler MVP, it can be said that Butler's performance conquered the away fans and won the respect and recognition of the away fans.

Whether it is on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, or the shooting efficiency, or the influence on the game, Butler must beat Trae Young.
