Since last season, link has not been too bold to take Butler''s defense lightly, so although it is only one-on-one in training, link is still very serious.
After all, Butler was selected for the best defensive two last season.
Butler can be said to have basically replaced Tony Allen''s position last season, in the defense excellent situation, he also has the offensive ability which Tony teacher does not have. Although the two always take turns, Butler overtook Tony Allen last season.
However, the drawback is that Butler''s attack last season was not really superb. Although he can occasionally knock down 20 + points, in the playoffs, there has been a miracle of scoring 60 + with link.
However, his scoring stability is not good, three-point shooting rate is only less than 30%. So even if he was selected for the best defensive lineup, no one looked at Butler as a star.
At best, Butler is thought to be an important substitute with a lot of blood. Very powerful, but that''s all.
This summer, however, Butler has completed his transformation on the offensive side. From the first day of training camp, Butler has been honing his offensive skills. Jump shot, breakthrough, back... He was like a wolf who had been hungry for several days, devouring all he could learn.
Although he learned a lot, Butler did not lower his requirements. He trained very hard, even in the off-season, he came to the training center early in the morning. After people leave, Butler always stays to continue training.
No player wants to be so versatile, unless his goal is to be a superstar.
There is no doubt that Butler''s efforts have begun to bear fruit. That''s why he''s now able to play back and forth with link and George.
Link''s continuous changes didn''t shake Butler away. Butler knew him too well. He trained together almost all season, even during the holidays.
In the face of a powerful opponent, when you find out the rules of his conduct, you can avoid danger. Just like a lot of masters playing games, in addition to their own exquisite operation, but also because they can always predict the next step of each other''s action, can predict the other party''s behavior.
Link was blocked by Butler, and finally managed to make it with a back turn jumper.
Butler''s take-off interference timing was just right, he jumped up to block link in the first time, link in the serious interference under the shooting miss!
"Bang!"
The basket made a loud noise, which was so harsh in the open Basketball Hall.
George shook his head, and now even link could not escape the torture of Jimmy Butler.
"Shit!" Link yelled, and Butler became more and more difficult.
Butler, who defended last season''s individual Grand Slam winner, did not show an excited look. After all, this is not the first time that he has forced link into a desperate situation in a few days.
Butler picked up the basketball on the ground and stuffed it into link''s arms.
Now he''s going to attack!
Jim Butler''s offensive skills, if you want link to describe, only one word - simple.
It can even be said that some are too simple.
This time it was like this, Butler confused link with three threat steps outside the three-point line, and then suddenly broke through!
But in fact, link was not deceived by Butler''s three threats. Butler just with a big stride to occupy the favorable space, and then hard to carry link, break through the layup!
In the second goal, Butler broke through suddenly in his back state, still holding link with a big stride and a solid footset to score a hard layup.
The third time, Butler three threats after the middle distance dry pull jump shot, or hit.
This is now Jimmy Butler.
There is no dazzling pattern, no dunk. Solid footwall, wide stride, solid step, able to withstand the impact of defenders, moderate distance steady... These are his strengths.
Jimmy Butler''s attack, more rely on tenacity and toughness, his every score is hard work and positive exchange.
You can''t see that in Butler''s body, those gorgeous skills and cool people. But his hard-working basic attack always makes him score efficiently in fierce competition.
He''s not a deadly single hitter, but he''ll keep attacking you from every angle. Before you know it, you will find that he has won again.
The game came to an end again when Butler lifted link from the low post and then turned over to score the fifth goal.
"Dry!" Link yelled at the moment the basketball got into the net. Butler had won two games in a row! Although there is a big difference between singles and five on five, Butler''s performance in five on five is not bad!
"George, it''s your turn." Butler, who defeated link, was very calm. Without a minute''s rest, he turned to Paul George.
"God, please forgive me. Is there a perpetual motion machine in your body?" George put his hands on his head. He hasn''t recovered from the last single!"Then you go on, link. Let''s play five more balls." Butler saw that George was really tired, so he turned to cut link again.
Sweating, link sat down on the wooden floor and waved his hand. "Come on, Jim, let''s call it a day. We''ve been playing for a long time and I feel like I''m playing in the playoffs
Even link, who has always been physically outstanding, can''t stand Butler''s torture. In the past, link tortured Butler, but now the identity of abuse and abuse is completely reversed.
At this time, Kobe, who had already left, returned to the training hall. Kobe was almost home when he found that the gifts he had brought to his daughters had fallen in the dressing room, so he folded them back.
As soon as he came in and looked at link and George exhausted, Kobe knew what might have happened.
These days, Kobe has not seen the improvement of Jimmy Butler on the training ground. People say the Grizzlies don''t have a second star next season, but in fact, the Grizzlies'' second star is growing rapidly.
Kobe knew for a long time that link and George couldn''t satisfy the hungry Butler. Because when he was strong, it was the same.
The Grizzlies need a bigger challenge.
"Oh, still fighting. What''s the matter, Jimmy? No one to play with you? " Kobe gloated up and reached out to pull link up from the ground.
"Or will you come and play with him?" Link shook his head helplessly, and as his physical fitness continued to decline, the less likely they would be able to beat Butler.
When you''re physically strong, it''s basically link and George who win more. But the later, link and George couldn''t withstand Butler''s impact.
"Me? I can''t do confrontation training yet, or I''d love to try. I said, it''s not good for you to do this all day. I have a fun place to recommend. Are you interested? " Kobe picked his eyebrows. As the host of Los Angeles, Kobe has a wild way.
"Where?" Butler came up at once, like a belligerent bulldog.
"The Druid League." Kobe didn''t sell the key and said the answer happily.
"Drew League? What''s the point? It''s all amateurs Link''s lips curled, and the amateurs couldn''t satisfy Butler.
"Under normal circumstances, the Druid League is really full of amateurs. But it''s summer, link. If you''re looking for a place with the most NBA players in the off-season, it''s the Druid League! It is said that James Harden, DeMar Derozan and Lillard are all in the Druid League
Before Kobe was finished, Jimmy Butler''s eyes were shining. "Link, George, let''s go to the three of us."
"We have our own training tasks and we don''t have time to play that kind of game." Link waved his hand. This is not the time for a show.
To stay in shape, the confrontation and training inside the camp is enough.
"Oh, by the way, I heard LeBron James and Kevin Durant are coming. People say they are two of the strongest players in this year''s Druid League Kobe saw that link''s attitude was so firm, so he said one more sentence.
Sure enough, after hearing the two names of James and Durant, link immediately came to the spirit.
"... but since you want to go so much, I''ll go with you. How about you, George? Are you going? "
"Well..." George just hesitated, and found link staring at himself.
It''s not a question. It''s a command!
"Go, go, I''ll go..." George shook his head. Link is essentially no different from Butler!
No, it''s good to play in the Druid League in the past. At least, George doesn''t have to be abused anymore...
