What makes Butler give up on offense? 3 injuries in 4 games Playoff teams are careful
Spoelstra is worthy of being an international coach with Filipino roots, and he skillfully sacrificed joint defense to control Philadelphia in the first half. Seeing the home team being beaten by the Heat, the disgruntled home fans erupted in bursts of boos. There is a pot where Nas is slow to deal with, and there is a pot where Embiid is alive online, and the buddies' knees are still not good, and everyone can understand it, but when they make free throws, they are all worried about cheating fouls?
Not to mention that before the end of the half, Embiid also cosed a legendary center of the Eastern power, turned around and put the basket to play the iron, and did it in one go.
The MVP in the NBA and the MVP in the CBA were in line at that moment, and the double gundam theory of one grace and one covenant was about to be shattered, and the surname of the newly selected American team had to be changed to Ruan again. As a result, the situation changed abruptly, the Heat became more and more tired and weak, and the 12-point family foundation that was finally saved in the half dissipated with the passage of time, and they had to sign the alliance under the city at the end.
There are many reasons for being overturned, Batum's incarnation as a god is one of the important reasons, the French are romantic but not brave, and they often salute in a chic manner when encountering difficulties. It's hard to imagine that in such a hand-to-hand fight, he can build a 7-of-12 off the bench and hit 6 three-pointers alone, which is a great credit, and another important reason is ......
Jimmy Butler, who was supposed to be the real god of Ba, was impotent.
In the entire second half, Jimmy shot 3 out of 10, and only made 2 shots in the final quarter. What's the situation? Jimmy stopped attacking? Why didn't he attack? That didn't work and softened? The three tortures were just angry, and when you calm down, you should realize that Jimmy is not soft, and he has been a tough guy all along. The reason why he handed over the offensive scepter to Hiro at the last moment was because he really couldn't hold it.
As early as the first quarter of the game, Jimmy had an accident when he collided with Oubre, who was flying away, when he feintted under the basket. A ruthless character who returned to the field after less than a month off from a car accident when he went out, Jimmy had physical contact with him and couldn't lose any more, but when he saw him fall to the ground on the spot, he clutched his knees and immediately howled.
The information given in slow motion is that Oubre's knee hits the side of Jimmy's knee head-on. This kind of accident is quite common in competitions, and usually occurs during the breakaway. Jimmy gritted his teeth and got up and went back into battle, but unfortunately many times the spiritual atomic bomb can't cover everything, after all, the world is made of matter.
After the game, there was a new video on the Internet, in which Jimmy, who had changed his number and civilian clothes, limped out of the court with a slight difficulty. It's all like this, is there any drama in the play-offs on Saturday? The preliminary diagnosis came in, and Jimmy was likely to be out indefinitely due to a medial collateral ligament injury in his knee, and he will then undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury.
In the past four years, the Heat have reached the Finals three times and reached the Finals twice, relying on Jimmy's ability to ask his dad to perform hard in key battles. Therefore, even if the regular season performance is not satisfactory this season, and only ranks eighth in the East, there are still believers who look forward to another miracle based on history. Now that faith has collapsed, is there still a miracle? I'm afraid there will be no miracles.
Then again, the Heat, who have lost their main general, won't be able to pick up the leak for the Bulls. Because of the other field, the Bulls, who easily advanced at home, also did not receive good results. Who's hurting? Unlike Jimmy, he dodges open guns, but can't dodge hidden arrows. The reckless Drummond knocked Caruso headlong during his return, resulting in a severe sprain of his left ankle. You know, once any injury is added with the word "severe", it is not something that will return anytime soon.
A teammate's accidental injury was supposed to be an accident, but it was actually very inexplicable. Because the Eagles didn't advance very fast, Drummond should have been able to catch a glimpse of Caruso's position on the way back to the defense, and it was not a stump, is it puzzling that such a big living person is not a stump? Especially with Drummond's body and weight, rushing headlong is comparable to a mud truck and getting into an SUV.
Day and night defense, house thieves are difficult to prevent, they are all called Drummond, the one who can kick the egg is clumsy externally, this clumsy person who can't kick the egg is all internal, isn't this a few days ago still blocking teammates?
Although the Heat's role is heavier, after all, the South Coast is stronger and sits at home, and they come to the same running line with each other. Of course, no matter who can advance, it will make it easier for Celtic in the end.
As early as a day earlier, in the Pelican Lake battle, Zion retired at the last minute due to injury. The Pelican ace who was in such a bad state that he exploded on the spot, smashed the towel to vent his anger. Where's Zion's injury? Left hamstring strain should be off for at least two weeks, and then evaluated in two weeks.
Does that mean...... Season ends early?
After four play-off games, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for all walks of life who are about to participate in the playoffs. You are strong and confident, but if something happens, you have to pull the list. And this misfortune happens to be in stark contrast to the luck of the regular season. The reason why the regular season is fortunate is that the league's big names with poor attendance in recent years have played 82 games in a relatively healthy manner, such as King, Curry, cousin, Williamson, and Durant...... But who would have thought how lucky the regular season would be, how unfortunate the play-offs were, and how the playoffs would follow......
If you think about it, do you feel a chill.
Everyone knows that scars are a medal of manhood, but in the NBA, every team will talk about injuries. Storms are always blown away by rain and wind, and injuries ruthlessly destroy every ambitious team.
