In the NBA league, we often divide the stars into three, six and nine levels, quasi-all-star level, all-star level, MVP superstar level, superstar level. In the active league, there are not many superstar-level stars, but there are many All-Star level players, as long as they are slightly close to the level of All-Stars and young enough, they have a chance to get a super contract. Some traffic-oriented stars only rely on league touting and marketing, but their ability to lead the team is worrying. Some powerful stars are unknown, but their ability to lead the team is very sharp, such as him. 56+9！ 42+8！ First in the league, from unknown to super powerful, you are really tough.
In this year's playoffs, the NBA league has produced a number of stars who have played hard, such as Mitchell and Randall. Mitchell was invincible in the regular season, with a super data of 71 points + 8 rebounds + 11 assists in a single game, and his ability and efficiency reached the strongest level of his career. As a result, Mitchell averaged only 23 points per game in the playoffs, shooting only 42.3% from the field and 25.8% from three-point range, which was inefficient. Moreover, Mitchell led the Knights, and still could not escape the nightmare of annual rounds. Randle averaged 16.8 points + 8.1 rebounds per game in the playoffs this year, shooting only 43.5% from the field and 25.1% from three-point range.
In contrast to the likes of Mitchell and Randall, stars such as Butler and Jokic have played particularly tough playoffs. Butler averaged 31.1 points + 6.6 rebounds + 5.4 assists + 1.7 steals + 0.8 blocks per game in this playoffs, shooting 52.8% from the field. Butler is third in the league in points per game in the playoffs, Booker is averaging 33.7 points per game (first in the league but already out), and Edwards is averaging 31.6 points per game (second in the league and already out). Moreover, Butler has never cut 40+ (highest 38 points) in the regular season this year, but he has continuously bombed 50+ and 40+ in the playoffs: 56 points + 9 rebounds + 2 assists in a single game, and 42 points + 8 rebounds + 4 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks in a single game. The regular season may play dead, and the playoffs must be super-god.
During the Heat's playoffs, the two core guards of Tyler Hiro and Oladipo were all reimbursed due to injury, so the Heat is equivalent to Butler leading the team to play the playoffs single-handedly. In the first round, Butler led the Heat to a 4-1 elimination of the league's No. 1 Bucks; In the second round, Butler led the Heat to a 4-2 elimination of the Knicks. Moreover, in the second round of the playoffs, Butler was injured, he played with an injury, a minor injury could not get out of the line of fire, really very tough. With two core rotations, Butler was still able to lead the team to the Bucks, which is really sharp. According to statistics released by the US media, Butler averaged the first and last quarters of the playoffs in the league, and he averaged 10.2 points per game in the final quarter of the playoffs.
It is worth mentioning that Butler's regular season average of 22.9 points + 5.9 rebounds + 5.3 assists + 1.8 steals per game was unable to be selected to the All-Star team. This year's All-Star starting guards Mitchell and Morant, who played poorly in the playoffs, were all round-trips, and their ability to lead the team was far less than Butler's. That's what fans say, "There are stars who are made specifically for the playoffs, for big scenes." Butler scored 16.8 points inside (16.8) and fast-break points (6.3 points) in the playoffs this year, both leading the league.
Fans recognize Butler's playoff strength very much, from the Bulls to the Timberwolves, from the Timberwolves to the 76ers, and now to the Heat career, Butler no matter which team he is in, he can always play very gorgeous statistics in the playoffs and play very good leading effects. Butler is a 30-pick player, he went from obscurity to the league's strongest star, Butler uses practical actions and real hard power to convince opponents and conquer fans. NBA experts say Butler's talent and potential are extraordinary, and he should be regarded as the toughest star in the league.
