Not worth 60 million? He has led role players to the finals in succession, why doesn t it work this time

NBA playoffs continued, and at this stage, there were many dramatic reversals. For example, the Knicks and the Pacers completed the following scores respectively, achieving a lead in the score. Among the eight teams, the only draws were the Nuggets and the Thunder. Curry's injury affected the overall performance of the Warriors. After four games, the Timberwolves also completed a 3-1 lead. So far, the Warriors have lost three consecutive times. Curry's injury has indeed had a great impact, so the performance of another person is indeed confusing, that is Butler.

Butler was like a god-like existence at the beginning. He led a group of character players to the finals many times. Facing Curry's absence, everyone hopes that Butler can lead the Warriors to support Curry's return, even if he wins the next game at home. Unfortunately, after losing two home games in a row, the Warriors basically have no hope of the next round. The G5 Timberwolves will regain their home advantage. How can the Warriors win if Curry cannot come back? Can Butler still be reliable?

Then let's talk about why Butler couldn't lead the Warriors to defeat the Timberwolves, even if they were to win a game.

Maybe everyone is like the author, that is, that Butler's physical strength has been greatly affected, age is a topic that will never be avoided. Any team in the league has to lose their skin if they fight the Rockets for seven games. What's more, the Warriors' star is two older players. Curry's hamstring injury is the best proof. For example, in the G3 game, Butler clearly performed well, but he was really bored in the end. At the same time, it was also the best opportunity for the Warriors. So, Butler could lead the Heat to the finals back then, and he was really young at that time. Now, such high-intensity games occasionally broke out for half the game, and it was obviously a bit difficult to count on Butler every game.

The second is that the level gap between the east and west is obvious. Over the years, the situation in the league has been strong in the west and weak in the east. Butler was able to be in the east at that time. However, in the face of cruel competition in the west and growing older, Butler was also powerless.

The natural restraint of the opponent, Butler has always been not a player who is good at shooting. Most of the time Butler likes to attack the inside and find a confrontation to complete layups, but the Timberwolves' defense in the inside is too strong, which leads to Butler not being able to score in. Even if he scores in, he can't play. It can be clearly seen that when he can't get up, Butler wants to pass the ball, but unfortunately, after lacking Curry's restraint, Hilde, the only space, is still strictly guarded by the opponent. This kind of natural restraint is impossible.

Originally, in G4, Butler saved his energy and let Kumingga lead the team alone in the first half, but when he really wanted to open the score in the second half, he hit the opponent's idea. After the ball was in, he couldn't get out. His teammates were all without space. He tried to do it alone. The opponent's defense suppression was helpless. So seeing an interesting picture, Butler spent all kinds of time on the ball, and he couldn't get in and all kinds of irons.

So the question is, is Butler worth 60 million? In fact, overall, Butler is worth the price, but there is a premise, that is, Curry needs to be restrained. The current lineup of the Warriors is too poor, far less than the Heat. Facts have proved that after Butler joined, he saved the Warriors from the fire and fire many times, allowing them to reach the playoff semi-finals from the edge of the playoffs. If Curry was not injured, maybe the Timberwolves were really no problem. Now it may be a later story, but Curry and Butler's combination is indeed good, which is an indisputable fact.

Even if you fail this season, you still have a chance next season, let alone you have not reached a desperate situation. If all the G5 Warriors explode and Curry returns after G6, there is actually still a chance, right?
