Beijing time on May 28, "What to save Butler?" The Heat's top star continued his slump, scoring just 2 of 10 points in the first half after scoring just 14 points in the previous game, and Butler continued his slump in the second half until the end of the quarter. Butler hit a catch-up basket in the first half of the final quarter, and after being rebounded by the Green Army, Butler made consecutive foul free throws and hit important 3-pointers in the final period, chasing only one point with less than 1 minute left. In the final stage, Butler had 2.1 seconds left to cleverly make Horford foul three free throws, but was countered by White's basket, 24+11+8 on 5-of-21 shooting, and was dragged into the seven-game battle.
As the spokesperson of the most "tough" star in this year's playoffs, Butler's powerful performance impressed all fans, especially the Bucks, who led the Heat 4-1 in the first round and eliminated the alphabet brother leader in the first round, which is even more impressive for his super performance. In the last two games of the first-round series, Butler scored 56 and 42 consecutive points, leading the team to complete 15+ reversals in two consecutive games, allowing him to play a series of gods.
After that, Butler continued to use his outstanding performance, leading the Heat to a 4-2 total defeat of the Knicks, plus leading the team to a 3-0 total lead over the Knicks in the first three games of the Eastern Conference finals to win the game point. Butler was just one step away from leading the team to the Finals, but it was clear that he was unable to carry on his fiery performance. Butler has not performed well in the past two consecutive losses with the Heat, although G4 has scored 29 points, but the final sports game goal is 1 of 5, G5 only scored 14 points to set a personal record for the lowest score in the Eastern Conference series, and the final quarter was 0 sleepwalking.
Now returning to the home court in the East finals G6 is considered a key life and death battle for the Heat, after all, once they go to the Celtics home court to grab seven, it will be extremely difficult for them to win and advance. However, Butler apparently still failed to adjust, he played only 1 of 5 in the first quarter for 12 minutes, scored only 5 points in a single quarter, but fortunately gave 4 assists to play the playmaking brain, helping the Heat bite the score in the first quarter by only 5 points.
Tatum continued to score in the second quarter, especially when he scored 14 consecutive points, Butler still failed to step up and respond, and it was more that Martin and Vincent scored with teammates to bite the gap. Butler continued to score four more points on 1-of-5 shooting in the second quarter, scoring just nine points on 2-of-10 shooting in the first half, leaving the Heat just four points short of the first two quarters.
"Sports Weekly" reporter Ji Mengnian commented at the end of the half: "Butler performed very abnormally in the first half, and it looked like his body was very tired. But the Heat role players helped Butler stabilize the game, which often raises more concerns. Butler is a player who can score 30 points in the half, and if he adjusts his form in the second half, the pressure on the Green Army's defensive end will be very high. ”
Unexpectedly, Butler's slump continued, and he only scored 9+9+7 on 0-of-5 shooting in the third quarter and 2-of-15 in the first three quarters. With 7 minutes and 55 seconds left in the final quarter, Butler finally broke his scoring drought with a make-up and helped the Heat finally briefly rally the score.
However, the Green Army re-played a small climax under the leadership of the double scout, and Butler was not able to respond effectively. Iguodala also expressed puzzlement on social media: "Butler only needs to attack the basket, and the referee will sound the whistle." Butler did hit two free throws and hit a foul with 2:04 left, plus Butler went on to make Tatum a foul and hit one of two free throws to lead the team to just three points. Butler led the Heat to keep closing the score, especially with 53 seconds left to complete the crucial 2+1 chase to just one point. The two sides then fought in a row, Smart hit one of two free throws to maintain a two-point advantage, and Butler had 3 seconds left to cause Horford to make a three-point foul and make three free throws, but was killed by White's basket.
The Heat also regretted another home loss, having lost three games in a row to 3-3 overall. Butler will lead the team to the Celtics on the road next game, and whether the counterattack can break out in a key life and death battle will determine Butler's final review of this year's playoffs, after all, the Black Eight led the team to the Finals, and the first time in history was reversed 3-0, so the difference between the two results is too great.
