preface:
In the NBA, there is a player who can be called the most confusing player in the league, this person is the Heat's Jimmy Butler, everyone knows that he plays hard, known as a tough guy, every year he can be selected as an All-Star, the big contract is also signed, but it does not give people a feeling of superstar, many fans just don't know where Butler is strong, why did he get so many titles? And why is it the backbone of a team? In fact, butler's tough guy is really worthy of the name, not mixed with a little moisture.
Spiritual attributes are full
Although the NBA is a competitive sports league, but in the final analysis, it is only a business, players in a team does not have a relationship between brothers, but a relationship between colleagues, so often there are few tears between players, and there will be no so-called I see you playing and do not try to teach you two sentences, everyone lives for everyone, not for others. But Butler is not that kind of player, he will instead convey his motivation to other players.
One of the most iconic things Butler has done in his career is undoubtedly the contradiction between him and the Timberwolves double stars Towns and Venice, and I remember that he once said that sentence, even if it is not a party, others see it and feel it deeply. "Am I being too harsh on him? Yes, I'm one of those people. I'm not the most talented person on the team, who is the most talented player? It's Downs. Whoever is most favored by God is Wiggins. Who is the hardest person to play? It's me! I play hard and put my body on the pitch every day, either training or playing! That's my passion! That's how I made you aware of my existence! ”
Butler's words even if we are not professional players, it looks very exciting, such a spirit is difficult not to succeed, to know that Butler is just a draft final round player, he can stand in the NBA, relying not on his own talent, completely relying on his own hard work. Fledgling, he played under Thibodeau, it is well known that Thibodeau has always been known for being cruel to players, and the players who survived under him often have a place in the league, Butler is exactly the group of people who survived from his hands, and some players could not withstand Thibodeau, and finally the joint teammates forced Thibodeau to resign, which was the Timberwolves' double star at that time.
For Butler, he only has one creed in the league, that is, to win, in order to win, he can give everything, sometimes for this reason, he has many conflicts with his teammates, but people who really have the same goals as him can often calm down immediately after the conflict, such as the Heat he plays for now. Butler had previously confronted team coach Spollstra and veteran Haslem almost punched and kicked each other, but everyone knew that they were doing all this to win, so they quickly released their suspicions and the Heat entered the playoffs as the first in the East.
Tested by hard battles
To be honest, a player's label cannot be blown out, but by his own ability to play out, there is no doubt that Butler is regarded by others as a superstar level player is his step by step. For example, during the Bulls' time with the Bulls, this team has always maintained a very strong competitiveness, the Timberwolves have not entered the playoffs for many years, Butler has immediately transformed into a playoff team, the Philadelphia 76ers' best playoff record in the past decade has been played by Butler, and after he left, the team immediately traveled in a round, this one example after another appeared in front of you, you can't erase Butler's contribution.
And this season's playoffs, Butler is like a god, there are media statistics, to the playoff Butler data is almost all-round improvement. Score 21.4 in the regular season versus 30.5 in the playoffs; rebound 5.9 in the regular season versus 7.8 in the playoffs; assist 5.5 in the regular season versus 5.3 in the playoffs; steal 1.6 in the regular season versus 2.8 in the playoffs; turnovers in the regular season 2.1 over the playoffs 1.3; shooting percentage in the regular season 48% vs. 54.3% in the playoffs; 23.3% in the regular season and 44.8% in the playoffs; 0.5 in the regular season and 1.8 in the playoffs.
The stronger the playoffs has become another label of Butler, he is a well-deserved playoff player, in the regular season you may find that Bart's performance is not too much shining point, but in the playoffs, he seems to be the heat team's most reliable player, whether it is offense or defense, he is a pioneer, you will see him staring at the figure of Trae Young, you can also see his posture of holding the ball to the inside line, for this team, Butler is absolutely unable to be abandoned, without Butler, The Heat definitely can't get the number one spot in the East.
Going around the league, Butler also found the best team for him, no doubt the Miami Heat, which had everything Butler wanted. Devilish training, the determination to chase the championship, this team has it all. And for the Heat, in recent years, Bart has also tasted the taste of the Finals for the first time, he has said that he can't wait, he wants to lead the team to win the championship right away, although last season's playoffs were swept miserably, but this does not affect the strength of the Heat, this season they made a comeback, with plenty of time to rest, the Heat won the first place in the East, and in the first round, there is no doubt that they are expected to become the number one seed in the East, Butler is also expected to fulfill his promise.
