NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 499: The end of the Eastern Conference Finals, Antetokounmpo and Butler (page 12)

The Heat themselves were leading by double digits, and Antetokounmpo might have been a little panicked. When he was defending Butler, he couldn't help but pounce on him.

Seeing Antetokounmpo's move, Su Tian's expression suddenly changed!

Maybe others don't know what Antetokounmpo wants to do, but Su Tian can see clearly that Antetokounmpo's foot has already landed on Butler's landing spot!

Swah——

"what!"

Sure enough, the moment the basketball hit the net, Butler screamed and lay on the ground.

Spoelstra was stunned for a moment on the sidelines, and then his expression changed drastically. He couldn't help but yelled at Giannis Antetokounmpo on the court. The assistant coach next to him stepped forward and dragged Spoelstra hard.

The three referees on the court also responded very promptly and immediately blew the whistle to separate Antetokounmpo and the Heat players.

Thanks to the referee's super-fast reaction speed, Antetokounmpo was already sitting on the bench before the Heat could react.

Although a conflict was avoided, Butler lay on the ground until the team doctor came forward and helped Butler up. Butler then limped to the player tunnel with the team doctor.

All the Heat fans at the scene held their heads with their hands and had regretful expressions on their faces, while some of the more excited fans yelled at Giannis and kept greeting Antetokounmpo's family.

Butler had no choice but to return to the locker room, but the game on the field still had to continue, and the referee also had to make a penalty for Antetokounmpo's behavior.

Antetokounmpo reached the finals last season by relying on such despicable means. If the league continues to let it go this season, the impact will be very bad.

So after a period of discussion, the three referees finally sentenced Antetokounmpo for a first-level flagrant foul, and the Heat had two free throws and one throw.

Although the entire Heat team was worried about Butler's condition, the game still had to continue. Vincent went to the free throw line and made two free throws on behalf of the Heat.

If coupled with Butler's previous mid-range shot, the Heat would have scored 4 points in a row, and the point difference between the two teams would become even more obvious.

The Heat served and the game continued. Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Because Butler couldn't play, the Heat seemed to lose their offensive focus. Vincent came to the frontcourt and after thinking about it, decided to do it himself.

So he reached out and called his teammates for a pick-and-roll. With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, he exploded and then headed toward the basket with the ball.

Vincent rushed to the basket, but when Vincent wanted to take a layup, he found that the Bucks' defense was covering him, and there was no room for him to take a shot.

In desperation, Vincent had to pass the ball to his teammates.

But as soon as Vincent passed the ball, he was immediately intercepted by Holiday. The Bucks' counterattack started immediately. Antetokounmpo received Holiday's pass, strode to the frontcourt, and dunked easily with both hands. .

The next few rounds also fully demonstrated that after Butler is not on the court, the gap between the Heat and Bucks becomes even more obvious.

Within a few minutes, the Bucks had caught up with many scores. At this time, there were only 2 minutes left before the end of the game, and the difference between the two teams was only 3 points.

Just when everyone thought the Bucks were going to take advantage of this to make a comeback, the reversal happened again, and Butler was actually back!

When the fans at the scene saw Butler walking out of the tunnel, the audience suddenly burst into excitement.

"Back! Back! Jimmy's back!"

"Oh! My God! He's a real man!!"

"A real man! He's actually back!"

"No, no, no! He won't continue to play!"

"So strong! He is so awesome! He is a real man!"

During this burst of cheers, Spoelstra called a timeout and stepped forward to ask about Butler's status.

"How's it going Jimmy? Are you okay?" Spall asked.

Butler nodded and said: "Don't worry, coach, I don't have any problems, just let me continue to play."

Although Butler said this, Spoelstra still did not dare to let Butler continue to play, but turned to look at the team doctor aside.

The team doctor nodded and said: "It's not a big problem. I didn't break any bones or anything like that. It's just a bruise. But even after playing, you have to control the range of movements and not make too big movements."

After receiving the team doctor's assurance, Spoelstra breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay Jimmy, I agree with you playing, but you must protect yourself. We still have the next game, and our journey is not over yet." .”

Butler nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to win the championship with the Lakers this year!"

The timeout soon ended and Butler appeared again.

Butler's reappearance undoubtedly caused bursts of cheers from the fans at the scene. Butler also simply waved his hands around and got into the game.

Butler's return undoubtedly gave the Heat a great boost in morale. In the following rounds, the Heat's players seemed to be pumped. Whether it was offense or defense, they were all full of energy. power.

The more obvious ones are Vincent, Nunn, Dunro and others.

In fact, Butler's contribution after coming on the court was very limited, and he did not perform any shocking performance.

But it was this kind of Heat that widened the point difference again and maintained it until the end of the game.

At the end of the game, the Heat won the game 117-110. Butler did not hug the Bucks after the game, but turned directly to the player tunnel. I don’t know because he was too angry about Antetokounmpo’s stepping behavior. I still need treatment because of the dull pain in my ankle.

In short, no matter what, the battle of Tianwangshan in the Eastern Conference Finals finally came to an end, with the big score reaching 3-2, and the Heat took the lead.

Not long after the game ended, a call from George came directly to Su Tian. When Su Tian saw that it was George's call, he answered it without thinking.

"Su! Did you see that! Jimmy won! That guy Giannis actually stepped on Jimmy! But even so, Jimmy still won! He is too tough!"

Obviously, Butler's "Return of the King" affected not only Vincent and others, but also Paul George in front of the TV.

"Paul, don't get too excited. I watched the game and Jimmy did a great job, but I'm even more looking forward to playing against him in the finals!" Su Tian said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I have to say, I'm also looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to sweeping Jimmy home again, hahaha." Paul George said with a smile.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they ended the call.

At this time, Su Tian couldn't help but start to imagine how the Lakers would deal with the Heat if they met in the finals.

After thinking about it, no matter how they deal with it, it seems that the Lakers have a must-win situation.

Thinking of this, the corners of Su Tian's mouth involuntarily raised slightly.

"This time, no one can stop me from riding the wind!"

After the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the public opinion formed by the outside world was also very obvious and predictable. After all, the popularity was very high.
