If not, failure is destined to be the main theme of life

Against the backdrop of streamers, Butler ended his season. When the final whistle sounded, he walked back to the locker room without looking back, but gracefully congratulated the Nuggets before walking back to the locker room amid the hustle and bustle.

Although the phrase "runner-up is the biggest loser" has not been recognized in recent years, losing the finals is still a huge pain. For Butler, it was his second Finals loss in three years, a similar process, similar despair, and he went through it all over again.

Losing the finals 4-1 is perhaps more acceptable than losing 4-2. Three years ago against the Lakers, if Dragic hadn't been injured in Game 1, if Adebayo can stay healthy, then the Heat still have hope.

But against the Nuggets, the Heat had almost no chance of winning, and the only game they won was the Heat's superior three-pointer. In fact, the Heat's three-point play has been super in the playoffs for a long time, and the Bucks and Celtics have been defeated by them. But in the Finals, the Heat's luck also came to an end, the light of losing the draft no longer shone, and in the end, fans could only pin their hopes on Butler.

Butler was not the one who could turn the tide after all, and he played extremely poorly in the first three quarters of the match point, relying on the magical three points of Adebayo and Lowry to drag the suspense of the game into the fourth quarter.

He scored 13 straight points in the final quarter and burst out the final energy of the season, but it was followed by a rush of fatal errors. Butler said after the game that he only remembered the mistake.

You can't blame Butler for spending most of his energy on the Black Eight Bucks series. In five games, Butler averaged 37.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, playing the strongest series of the playoffs.

In the following rounds of the series, Butler's performance has been going down. Against the Bucks, he scored four 30+ games, including 56 points and 42 points in one game. After passing the Bucks, Butler only had 30+ games for the rest of the playoffs, and he always looked exhausted on the offensive end.

And, of course, the unignorable ankle injury, which he was photographed swollen several times during the Finals, and Butler's foot has not been completely healthy since the Eastern Conference semifinals. But when asked by a reporter how much the ankle injury had an impact, Butler said: "Zero! My ankle was fine, no excuses, they beat us. ”

It's a good way to use this as Butler's season-ending words, he can say he wants to win three games in a row when he is 3-1 down, he can admit defeat generously when he loses the Finals, he can be tough or soft, and he can afford to put it down.

To be honest, before the start of the playoffs, when Butler and the Heat lost to the Hawks in the playoffs, all I expected from them was to be eliminated by the Bucks in the first round, and I predicted that the score was that the Bucks swept the Heat 4-0. Predict again, and I will predict the same way.

Brother Alphabet's back injury in the first game changed everything and turned on that switch for Butler. The whole Heat team saw the hope of the black eight, and even if the alphabet brother came back, it could not stop the burning momentum of the Heat.

Butler did a lot of incredible things in the first round, he lay down on a flat layup and he scored 56 points in a single game. In the next few rounds, he transmitted this incredible energy to his teammates, Dunroe, Vincent, Strus, Martin and others erupted one after another, stunned everyone. Too many incredible intertwined to make the Heat's miracle trip this year.

Even if they end up in the Finals, the Heat deserve the word miracle. I haven't been bullish on the Heat along the way, and after passing the Bucks I think they will be stopped by the Knicks, and after the Knicks I think they will be easily eliminated by the Celtics. When they reached the Finals, I also relentlessly predicted the Nuggets' 4-1 defeat of the Heat.

It was probably the only series in which I accurately guessed the winner and score in this year's playoffs, but when the Finals ended, I lamented that the Nuggets were strong while lamenting why the Heat didn't hit me in the face again.

I am a person who does not believe in miracles, but I also hope that miracles will happen. When our lives are constantly wrapped up in fate, constantly thinking about how to choose, how to be happy, how to move forward, we need miracles like the heat to add a little hope to life. If the Heat can do it, can we?

If failure is destined to be the main theme of life, are you still willing to devote yourself to it? At least Butler, who scored 13 consecutive points in the final quarter yesterday, did not give up in the face of impending defeat, and only after giving it his best could he have no regrets.

Even if it's a doomed script, there will always be something special in your life.
