Lost 122 points in 4 games! Officially eliminated! This is Butler s magic, the Warriors best deal this year

The Western Conference playoffs are difficult to distinguish, except for the Thunder's 4-0 victory over the Grizzlies, the other games are still in a tangled battle. Relatively speaking, the confrontation and intensity in the East are much smaller. The three teams, Celtics, Pacers and Cavaliers, have advanced to the second round, especially the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, swept the Heat 4-0 with a score of 4-0, and there is no suspense to defeat the opponent. According to statistics, the Heat lost a total of 122 points in this round of series, which is the largest difference in total score in a single-round series in NBA history. Heat G4 lost 55 points, G3 lost 37 points, G2 lost 9 points, and G1 lost 21 points.

It can be said that the Cavaliers not only crushed their opponents, but also destroyed the Heat on a psychological level. The head coach Persia, the team's core Hero, Adebayo, Dunro and others were all full of despair. The Heat will likely overthrow and rebuild during the offseason. After the game, Hero said something questioned the team: "Obviously, I know we need Jimmy to win. If we had Jimmy now, I think the situation would be completely different. We may not be the No. 8 seed. I have known Jimmy for five or six years. Seeing his performance as a basketball player and how he actually made his teammates better, he always made the right decisions and could see the competitive advantage he showed."

Without Butler around, Hero obviously lacked confidence. When he was the number one offensive core to face the targeted defense of the top defensive system for the first time, he truly realized how powerful Butler was. According to statistics from the US media HeatMuse, when Hero played side by side with Butler in his career, his winning rate was 60%, while when he was without Butler, his winning rate was 22.2%. In this round of series, Hiro has shrunk significantly compared to the regular season data. Among them, G4 only made 1 of 10 shots, scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, with a plus-minus value -44 the lowest in the game.

Unfortunately, the Heat's exit day appeared on the same day as the Warriors' match point. Looking back at the Warriors' deal, most people think that the Warriors have lost a lot. Some fans criticized Butler for making too few moves, being old, and having injuries, they could not return to their peak levels at all. Some media even believe that Wiggins' worth alone is higher than Butler. Looking back at how ridiculous these doubts are, Butler has always been born for tough battles. He is similar to Leonard. He likes to play health balls in the regular season and focuses on defense and passing. He will only stand up to show his leadership in the playoffs. As long as the team needs to score, he is the most aggressive player on the field. This is why the Black Eight Miracle against the Bucks that year, and also brought Hero and other teammates to a height that does not belong to them.

This is JB's magic. The Warriors' best deal this year was born. Butler has the opportunity to bring the Warriors to the championship stage as long as he stays healthy.
