Reverse Growth Superstar

Latest website: Since last season, Link has not dared 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 as the best defensive second team last season.

It can be said that Butler basically replaced Tony Allen last season. In the case of excellent defense, he also has the offensive ability that Tony teacher does not possess. Although the two always take turns out of the field, Butler's playing time last season has surpassed Tony Allen.

However, the fly in the ointment is that Butler's offense last season was not superb. Although occasionally he can score 20+ points, there have been miracles of scoring 60+ points with Link in the playoffs.

However, his scoring stability is not good, and his three-point shooting percentage is less than 30%. So even if he was selected to the best defensive team, no one regards Butler as a star.

At best, people think that Butler is a very **** important substitute. Very powerful, but nothing more.

However, this summer, Butler has completed the transformation on the offensive end. From the first day of training camp, Butler has been honing his offensive skills. Jump shots, breakthroughs, backs... He is like a wolf who has been hungry for a few days, devouring everything he can learn frantically.

Although learning a lot, Butler did not lower the requirements. He trained very hard, even in the offseason, he came to the training hall early in the morning. After people are gone, Butler will always stay and continue training.

No player wants to make himself so versatile, unless his goal is to become a superstar.

There is no doubt that Butler's efforts have begun to bear fruit. This is why, he can now play back and forth with Link and George.

Link's continuous changes did not sway Butler. Butler really knew Link too much. He almost trained together throughout the season, even during the holidays.

In the face of no matter how powerful an opponent is, once you figure out his behavior, you can alleviate the danger. Just like the reason why many game-playing players are so good, in addition to their superb operation, but also because they can always predict the next action of the other party, and can predict the other party's behavior.

Link was stopped by Butler, and in the end he could barely shoot with a back-turned jumper.

Butler's timing of the interference was just right. He rushed to block Link for the first time, and Link missed a shot under severe interference!

"Hey!"

The hoop made a loud noise, which seemed so harsh in the empty basketball hall.

George shook his head. Now even Link cannot escape Jimmy Butler's torture.

"Damn!" Link yelled and Butler became more and more difficult.

Butler, who guarded against last season's personal honor Grand Slam winner, did not show excitement. After all, this is not the first time he has pushed 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 switch him to attack!

Jimmy Butler's offensive skills, if Link wants to describe, there is only one word-unpretentious.

It can even be said that some are too simple.

This time it was like this. Butler used a three-threat pace to confuse Link from outside the three-point line, and then suddenly broke!

But in fact, Link was not deceived by Butler's three threats. Butler just used a big stride to occupy the favorable space, and then he held Link forcibly and made a breakthrough and a layup!

For the second goal, Butler suddenly broke through with his back, still holding Link with a large stride and a solid bottom set, and abruptly scored a layup.

For the third time, Butler made a mid-range jumper after three threats and still hit.

This is Jimmy Butler now.

No dazzling tricks, no flying dunks. The bottom set is solid, the stride is wide, the step is solid, can withstand the impact of the defender, and is steady in the middle distance...These are his specialties.

Jimmy Butler's offense relies more on tenacity and toughness. Every time he scores, he is exchanged for hard work and proactiveness.

You can't see those gorgeous skills and cool people in Butler. But his hard-working basic attack always allows him to score efficiently in fierce confrontations.

He is not a deadly single player, but he will tirelessly attack you from all angles. Before you know it, you will find that he has won again.

When Butler drove Link from the low post and then rolled over and scored the fifth goal, the game was over again.

"Fuck!" Link yelled as soon as the basketball hits the net. Butler has won two games in a row! Although there is a big difference between heads-up and five-on-five in official matches, Butler's performance is definitely not worse in five-on-five!

"George, it's your turn." Butler, who defeated Link, was very calm. Without a minute's rest, he turned and stared at Paul George.

"God, forgive me, do you have a perpetual motion machine in your body!?" George covered his head with his hands, and he hasn't completely eased from the last heads-up!

"Then you go on, Link, let's play five more balls." Butler saw that George was really tired, so he turned around and cut Link again.

The sweaty Link sat down on the wooden floor and waved his hand, "Okay Jimmy, that's it for today. We've been playing for a long time, and I feel like I'm playing the playoffs now. "

Even Link, who has always been physically capable, can't stand Butler's torture. In the past, Link tortured Butler in singles, but now the two men's identities of abuse and abuse are completely reversed.

At this moment, Kobe, who had already left, returned to the training hall. Kobe was almost home only to find that the gifts he brought for his daughters had fallen in the dressing room, so he folded back.

As soon as he came in and looked at the exhausted look of Link and George, Kobe knew what was going on.

In the past few days, Kobe did not fail to see Jimmy Butler's progress on the training ground. People say that the Grizzlies will not have a second star next season, but in fact, the Grizzlies' second star is growing rapidly.

Kobe knew that Link and George could not satisfy the hungry Butler. Because it was the same when he became stronger.

The new star of the Grizzlies needs a bigger challenge.

"Oh, it's still playing. What's the matter with Jimmy? Is there no one to play with you?" Kobe happily leaned forward, reaching out and pulling Link from the ground.

"Otherwise, you come to play with him?" Link shook his head helplessly. As their physical fitness continued to decay, their chances of defeating Butler became lower.

When they are full of energy, Link and George basically win more. But the farther back, Link and George became unable to withstand Butler's impact.

"Me? I can't do confrontation training yet, or I would really like to try it. I said, it’s not good for you to fight like this all day. I have a fun place to recommend. Are you interested?" Kobe picked With raised eyebrows, as the Los Angeles host, Kobe's path is wild.

"Where?" Butler leaned forward immediately, like a militant bulldog.

"Drew League." Kobe did not sell off, and said the answer happily.

"Drew League? What's the meaning of that, it's all amateur players." Link pouted, and amateur players couldn't satisfy Butler.

"Under normal circumstances, the Drew League is indeed played by amateur players. But this is summer, Link. If you want to find a place with the most NBA players in the offseason, it is the Drew League! It is said that James. Harden, DeMar DeRozan and Lillard are all in the Drew League."

Before Kobe finished talking, Jimmy Butler's eyes were shining, "Link, George, the three of us are also going to participate!"

"We still have training tasks ourselves, and we don't have time to play that kind of game." Link waved his hand. It's not the time to show.

To stay in shape~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The confrontation and training within the training camp is enough.

"Oh yes, I heard that LeBron James and Kevin Durant are also coming. People say that they are the two strongest players in the Drew League this year." Kobe saw Link's attitude. Resolute, so he said one more thing.

Sure enough, after hearing the two names of James and Durant, Link immediately became energetic.

"...But since Jimmy wants to go so, I'll accompany you to play. George, how about you? Are you going?"

"Uh..." George hesitated when he found Link glared at himself.

Where is the inquiry? It's just an order!

"Go, go, I'll go..." George shook his head. Link this guy is essentially no different from Butler!

But it’s okay to go to the Drew League, at least, George doesn’t need to be abused anymore...
