Hard-working people, heaven rewards hard work, and never stops. More than 3,000 armour can swallow Wu!
This is the best sentence I can think of for jimmy butler.
In the third game of the NBA Finals, after 45 minutes of shopping, he scored 40 points, 1 1 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers led by LeBron James and anthony davis, avoiding the passive situation of 0-3, and strongly rewriting the score to 1-2. This is the star guard's answer to the Heat.
Jimmy butler is from rural Texas. His father left him when he was still a baby. 13 years old was kicked out of the house by his mother. Since then, he has become a child without parents or even a home. When he was a teenager, he could only sleep on a friend's sofa. He often wonders why everyone else has a father and why his mother cooks good food after school.
Tomball, Texas is located about 30 miles north of downtown Houston. This place has the feeling of a sleepy country town. The population is only 10000, which is not even like the suburbs of metropolis. Butler was born here, and his daily job is to play ball in the local park. He always says a few words before playing ball:
Indeed, Butler had ten thousand reasons to give up on himself, but he didn't compromise. His love for basketball makes him practice hard every day, because he wants to realize his life value through basketball.
His hard work and ambition prompted him to get good grades in Tombo High School. In my senior year, I averaged 19.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, but none of them aroused the interest of any university. So Butler came to Taylor Junior College. He did well in his freshman year. Average 18.65, 438+0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3. 1 assists, becoming the ace of the scoring champion and the team. In his sophomore year, he won a scholarship from Marquette University. Although he came to a new university, he could only sit on the bench and play 19.6 minutes every night.
As a child, his declaration on the court was realized on the night of the 20 1 1 draft, and he was selected by the Bulls in the 30th pick. Because of the low level, I can only sit on the bench in the NBA, but for Butler, as long as I get here, any opportunity is precious, even if I can only sit and wave a towel. Although you can't play on the court, you can always see him in the training hall. He has been improving his skills.
He only played 42 games in his rookie season, averaging only 2.6 points per game. In the second season, he played 82 games and started 20 games, and his score rose to 8.6 points. 20 13- 14 season is also his third season. He started all 67 games, and he can score 13. 1 point, so he can sit firmly in the mountains.
And his position was established in the playoffs. On May 5, 20 13, Butler defeated the Nets in the first round of the playoffs, and played for 48 minutes in the sixth and seventh games, which is the performance that has not been seen in NBA history for 40 years. Tough play and iron will are the key to his playing the whole game.
His battle for fame was against the Heat in the second round. At that time, the Heat had James, the first player in the league, Wade, the Flash, and chris bosh, the Dragon King. The Heat was the favorite to win the championship. In the first game of the series, jimmy butler, a junior, was entrusted with the important task of defending the first man James. Iron Man Butler played another 48 minutes, not only successfully restrained James, but also scored 2 1 point and grabbed 14 rebounds to help the team lead 1-0. And he played 48 minutes in three consecutive playoff games, which is unprecedented in NBA history.
Excellent performance won Butler a big contract. 20 14, butler became the starter of the bulls. But he didn't accept the Bulls' 4-year, $44 million early contract renewal. Eight months later, his average score increased by six points. On July 65, 1965, at 438+05,65,438+00, Bull offered a five-year 95 million contract, the contract value was more than twice his original offer. Followed by buying Bentley SUV and buying a villa worth $4 million in Hebei District of Chicago.
2065438+071October 20th 17 Butler was selected to the All-Star Eastern starting lineup, and was selected to the All-Star Game for the third year in a row, which is the first time he was selected to the starting lineup. With the increasing popularity of Butler, Butler gradually realized his childhood wish, and he is only one hall of fame away from his last wish. He is eager for victory and championship, he is tired of failure, and he hates people who don't work hard on the court. So I always say something that is not conducive to the unity of the dressing room. He always criticizes a teammate who doesn't play actively and doesn't train hard in public.
After the 20 15 loss to the new york Knicks, he said that the team needed to "train harder". In the match with the Eagles, the Bulls wasted the lead of 10 at the last minute, and regretted losing. Butler criticized the young people again.
In Chicago, because you can't win, there is no hope of winning. Finally, because of the contradiction with the coach, he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
But Minnesota is not a city that can win. Even if you are more capable, Garnett and Love are gone. Now there are two talented players in the team, Downs and Wiggins, who can't lead the team further with the title of No.1 scholar.
Butler brought the same attitude to Minnesota, where he was reunited with former coach tom thibodeau. Minnesota people are not particularly happy about his arrival because they think the contract is a bit too big. Although Butler missed 23 games, he still scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in his first show, which made Minnesota people shut up. But he still led the team to the playoffs with hardcore strength. In the first round, I met the first rocket in the west led by bearded player Harden, but unfortunately the first round stopped.
If Butler played 82 games, they might get a better ranking and go further. Even if he goes home in the first round, people who really know the ball can see that even if he plays well, the Timberwolves are not Butler's team, even if he has everything, even if he helps the team at both ends of the offense and defense. And these two top scholars, one with gorgeous data and the other with precious health. Butler finally couldn't stand it. After losing to the Rockets, he said:
Obviously, these words that are not conducive to the locker room will only put Butler in a bad situation, and the Timberwolves rejected Butler's request for contract renegotiation. It is reported that Butler had hoped to get $654.38+$45 million in four years. However, Minnesota made a four-year offer, worth 1. 1 billion dollars.
He told the general manager Scott Leyden, "You need me. You can't win without me. "
His anger at Minnesota's young core led him to choose 76 people. Philadelphia, a city that seems to suit his style, a month later, the report about the discord between Butler and coach Brett Brown surfaced. Finally, it ends hastily, and leaving is the best result.
So far, every stop of Butler's career has followed a similar pattern. He is versatile and confident. He doesn't beat around the bush. He will directly criticize some people for not working hard in public.
Of the 30 teams in the league, one is always his home. After he was freed, Patrelli, the coach of Iron Blood, extended an olive branch to him. Wade told Miami: I assure you, Butler is definitely the one you are looking for.
2065438+On July 7th, 2009, Jimmy Butler joined Miami Heat for four years at a price of $65438+42 million.
Toughness has always been synonymous with the Heat, and the soil in Miami is very suitable for Butler. Miami Heat is an iron and blood team. Toughness is the culture of this team from beginning to end. This culture was created by Pat Riley, passed down by Dwyane Wade and guarded by Alenzo Mourning and udonis haslem. Here, Butler's frank and tough attitude was recognized.
Heat coach Spastra said:
In recent years, under the leadership of Pat Riley, the Heat has only missed the playoffs five times and won the championship three times since 1995 joined. In this process, the team pays great attention to the players' attitude in the game and training. At the beginning of this season, Wittser was suspended for three times because of various violations of the team's policies; James johnson was banned from the training camp for violating the regulations. In addition, young core Adebayor, Taylor Hiro and Duncan Robinson all accepted the veteran defender. They admire the veteran's football style.
Butler has a good relationship with Miami's young core. Hiro said:
Butler's young players showed off-court chemistry in the backcourt this season. In the fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals, rookie Hiro scored a career-high 37 points, giving Miami a 3-/kloc-0-0 lead. Four days later, Adebayor finished the series with 32 points 14 rebounds and sent out the first place at home in the East.
From the second round to the Eastern Conference finals, Butler's average score dropped by 4 points, but he has been trying to help the Heat win. Although he injured his ankle in the finals, he still insisted on playing, and Butler's perseverance was still obvious.
