Warriors forward core: We have rich experience, and our confidence in the G7 has not been shaken

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 115-107. After this game, the Rockets, who won two consecutive games, have tied the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will return to Houston to prepare for the G7 game. This tiebreak battle will also determine who can enter the Western Conference semi-finals. After this game, the Warriors' forward player Jimmy Butler was interviewed by reporters, and he also talked about the next tiebreak battle and the team's somewhat selfless style of playing.

When talking about the next tiebreak battle, Butler said: Now is the critical moment, we either win the game or we have to go home. I think our confidence has reached its highest point in history and we have not wavered at all. We know what an excellent team this is, and there are many people in our team who have experienced similar situations many times, and we have rich experience. So we have to make sure we complete the task in G7 and advance to the next round. Speaking about the Warriors' style of playing on the court, sometimes it's too selfless, Butler continued: Any good thing that goes too far can become a bad thing. You can be selfless on the court or you can be passive on the court. You have to find a balance point in this. I think we often think too much, but the result is often not very good. When it comes to G7, I think we need to play more resolutely.

In the series G6, Butler made 7 of 17 shots, 1 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, and 12 of 14 free throws, scoring 27 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block, and 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -12. So far in the playoffs, Butler has played 5 games in these 6 games, averaging 31.6 minutes per game, with averaging 18 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 0.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He has 45% shooting percentage, 23.1% three-point shooting percentage and 84.6% free throw shooting percentage.

Butler's performance in these playoffs is certainly not bad. He can take on a lot of responsibilities on the offensive end, and he also has certain passing ability and support ability. His role on the court is also irreplaceable. But the problem is that Butler's offensive efficiency is not that outstanding, his scoring explosive power is relatively average, and he cannot take on more responsibilities on the defensive end. Butler's ability is there, and his previous performance in the playoffs is obvious to all. His performance will obviously greatly affect the team's overall competitiveness. In the next G7, which really determines life and death, can Butler perform at a higher level?
