764 Butler is tough enough!
764 Butler is tough enough!
"Don't be afraid of those brave guys to take the shot or call him out and let our defenders practice on him alone."
With just over 8 minutes left and a 11-point lead, the Grizzlies still have a very good chance of winning. They need to maintain their momentum, as there are only 5 games left in the regular season. They are currently ranked fourth or fifth in the Western Conference, and they could easily fall out of contention if they are not careful.
"Gasol, come down here first. Let's adjust our lineup to be smaller and see if we can play a small-ball lineup to improve our team's speed of operation. Let's make their Su Hao run with us. I don't believe he won't get tired or exhausted."
As expected, after running two or three rounds, Su Hao's physical condition ran out of steam. After all, he didn't have the stamina to handle the situation at hand.
After being substituted, he sat there feeling quite unwilling, after all, he had already scored 30 points, and the fourth quarter required his stamina at this point, and he could no longer keep up with the team's offensive pace.
When he returned, surprisingly, Butler got into a fight with the other party.
"This hot-tempered person will get into a fight wherever he goes. What's it about today?"
What's unbelievable is that he completely lost face with his opponent at this moment, which is probably a result of many previous competitions.
"Oh, according to the replay, it was when Butler was on defense that the opponent bumped into his shoulder, and he turned around and elbowed the opponent, and that's how the conflict started."
Neither of the two people who were initially convicted had committed any serious offenses, so no further penalties were imposed. However, Butler was relentless. As the team's toughest player and with such a strong roster, he was not afraid and boasted that he would definitely beat them to a pulp today.
Gay is a tough guy, how could he tolerate such verbal abuse? So he directly told Butler that if the team didn't need him, he would have beaten him to a pulp.
The two pushed each other again, and the referee took the opportunity to call a technical foul on each of them.
"The Grizzlies seemed to be suddenly energized, especially when Conley scored 5 points in a row with a combination of inside and outside shots, keeping the score difference to 6 points. Before the Clippers could even react, the Grizzlies were caught off guard."
They hit another pull-up three-pointer. Gay's pull-up three-point shooting is becoming increasingly refined; this season, his three-point shooting percentage with the ball has finally reached 37.5%, which is a very good number.
Butler saw that his head coach hadn't called a timeout, and he knew in his heart that it was time for him to prove himself.
After receiving the ball, he backed down to the basket, moving from a relatively far distance to about half a circle away, then turned around and made a standard mid-range jump shot.
"Don't say anything more, it's just so stable, too stable."
Su Hao sat on the bench waving a towel, feeling that his teammates had really gotten the hang of playing their best since he hadn't gone to bed.
"It really is Butler. He truly deserves to be called one of the toughest men in the league."
