The Warriors chance of advancing is only 22% left! Butler responds to the reason for "refusing to vote", US media criticizes the worst performance of 60 million

Timberwolves easily won a game at home. The Timberwolves led by 21 points with 4 minutes and 03 seconds left in the final quarter. Kerr called gold early to withdraw. In fact, Kerr used 14 players to rotate the game and it was also obvious that he knew that he could not win the away game G2, and the Timberwolves team would definitely make a contribution to the first game.

But there is a bug in this game, that is, Jimmy Butler is invisible. In the last quarter, Butler even threw the pot to Moody, leaving Moody with 2 seconds left to catch the ball and throw it around. Warriors fans don’t understand “Butler’s behavior of throwing the blame.”

Barkley also said during the live broadcast: “I don’t understand why Jimmy Butler is not more active, he didn’t even look at the basket!”

Butler made 34 minutes in the whole game, 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 46.2%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 50%. His score was not as good as Kumingga, who only played 26 minutes. He only made 1 4 shots in the whole final quarter.

Butler talked about the reason for his "refusing to shoot" after the game: "I don't have any burden or pressure. I just play in the right way, and I will continue to do this in the future. If it is really time that some people say they have to score 40 points - of course I can do it, that's not a problem for me. But I enjoy making my teammates feel more comfortable playing and passing the ball to them."

The Warriors' Curry will at least miss G2-G4. The probability of the Warriors' promotion after being equalized by the Timberwolves further declined. The probability of the Timberwolves' promotion has increased to 78% (the probability of 4-2 promotion is the highest), while the Warriors' promotion probability is 22%, the probability of the promotion is 14% for six games, and the probability of the promotion is 8% for seven games.

The brave media criticized Butler: Butler is undoubtedly the worst performer among all the "stars" in the league, and I don't know who ranks second. He earns 60 million yuan in the Warriors every year, and he is only willing to go to two feet in the penalty area to hit the car, pretend to fall, go in again and then pass it out.
