404: The nobody who broke the pattern

Although not all the main players will be off the court during the rotation time, Stevens still followed the plan and took Link, Iguodala and the Black and White Bears.

On the field, only Mike. Conley's starter stabilized the situation.

And on the Thunder side, Scott. Brooks' substitution laid bare his ambition to the fullest.

Reggie, who scored 8 points in the first quarter. Jackson, who is going to be on the court with Kevin. Martin and Kevin. Durant! Brooks only replaced Westbrook, who was addicted to wave shooting today, and two interior players, leaving Martin and Durant on the court!

Seeing Stevens remove Iguodala and Link, Brooks smiled from ear to ear. He'd like to see how the Grizzlies can defend themselves against the offense of this lineup! If nothing else, in the last four minutes, the Thunder should be able to widen the gap to double digits again!

And next time, the Grizzlies won't be able to close the gap so easily.

Scott. Brooks is full of confidence, Tony. Aaron is certainly strong defensively, but no matter how strong he is, he can't be separated. Right now, Reggie. Jackson and Kevin. Martin teamed up, the tired Conley and the weak Nick. Yang is bound to be exhausted.

"Wait? Who's that? Brooks abruptly pulled away from his thoughts as he realized that the Grizzlies weren't continuing with the Nicks. Young, but will be that No. 21 Jimmy. Butler takes the court!

"What kind of plane?" As head coach, Scott. Brooks naturally knew Jimmy. Butler is a man, but he just knows.

After all, from entering the league last season to now, Jimmy. Butler didn't play very well. For most teams, he is a name that is directly overlooked in tactical meetings.

After all, who's going to study a player who can't play at all?

Scott. Brooks scratched his head, was Stevens sick and rushed to the doctor? Nick, who scored 25 points in the last game. Yang didn't need it, he actually got a player at the end of the bench!

You're the old Battier, and you're called Jimmy. Butler's kid is reliable!

Scott. Brooks didn't think much of it, no matter what, he was convinced that the Thunder could completely open up the gap in the last few minutes of the second quarter!

"Can that kid do it? The Thunder's rotation lineup is too hot! Randolph sat next to Link, looking a little worried.

"Who are you talking about? Jimmy? Don't worry, I trust him 100%! Link smiled, don't forget, Butler is the one who overthrew the Dream Team with him this summer!

The game restarted, and the Thunder attacked first. Now, the Thunder are temporarily leading by 2 points, and they have decided to completely open up the difference from this moment on.

Tony. Allen vs. Durant, Durant is not easy. Although Tony. Allen has never started this season, but his quality remains unquestionable. He's still one of the league's best outside guards, even with three-time scoring champion Durant. It was also difficult to score under Allen's entanglement.

Reggie. Jackson saw that Durant was so entangled that there was no room to connect to the ball, so he decided to continue to go it alone!

A single quarter of 8 points in the first quarter made Reggie . Jackson's self-confidence was bursting. He waved his hand and Kevin. Martin made a cross-run. That's it, Jimmy. Butler was replaced by Reggie. Jackson in front of him.

Jackson smiled, and here is another backdrop!

Jackson quickly changed hands under his hips and then suddenly activated, believing that such a breakthrough was efficient enough. After all, in the first quarter of the game, he beat Nick like this. Yang's.

But as soon as Jackson took a step, before he could accelerate, he seemed to hit a solid wall and was forced to stop!

Looking up, Reggie. All Jackson saw was the resolute, somewhat Jordan-like face.

"Jimmy. Butler's traverse was fast, and he didn't let Reggie . Jackson rushes over! ”

Jackson didn't give up, he leaned on Butler's back and turned and went to the basket.

But Butler still has a lot of faith in Reggie. Jackson is in hot pursuit, he's not Nick. Yang will easily give up on defense.

Jackson didn't get rid of Jimmy completely. Butler jumped up for a layup, but the next second, Reggie. Jackson suddenly felt that there was no light under the basket!

Jackson looked around, the Grizzlies' two bench interior linemen Azeley and Speights were not under the basket at this time, so what was covering him......

"Smack!" Reggie. Before Jackson could think clearly, he heard a crisp sound.

When he looked up, the basketball in his hand had been nailed to the rebound.

Reggie. Jackson's heart suddenly felt cold, he turned around, and sure enough, it was the little-known No. 21!

"Pegboard hat! Oh my God, did you see that!? Jimmy. Butler's bounce height and speed are simply amazing, and this kid's athleticism is very strong! Reggie. Jackson thought Jean could still deal with Nick. Yang scored so easily, he was ridiculously wrong! Jimmy. Butler doesn't allow his opponent to score easily! ”

The audience exclaimed, Jimmy. In the most brutal way, Butler broke Reggie. Jackson wants to be a hero's fantasy!

Off the court, Thunder coach Brooks was also stunned. Jimmy. Where did Butler come from? Is it so preventable? What kind of monsters are still hiding on the Grizzlies bench!

The Grizzlies immediately counterattacked, and in this rotation lineup, Stevens' request was to play fast and push the counterattack. Neither Ezeli nor Speights are heavy interior players, and both can run. Therefore, there is no need to fall into positions like the main lineup.

Conley rode a thousand and went straight to the Thunder basket with the ball.

The Thunder's defense didn't hesitate to shrink, and now Nick. In Young's absence, Conley was the only point of attack. As long as he is prevented, the offense of the Grizzlies will directly shout dumb!

However, the orange Spalding basketball jumped out of the middle of the crowd of guys in white jerseys and landed firmly on Jimmy, who had just run outside the three-point line on the right side. In Butler's hands.

Jimmy. Does Butler have three points? Maybe he and Tony. Aaron the same? The Thunder players are confused, so Kevin. Martin didn't know whether to pounce or not. What if you pounce on it and someone breaks through again?

The Thunder's defenders were hesitating, but Jimmy. Butler doesn't hesitate.

He and Link sweated together in the summer, and after the start of the season, he practiced even harder than Link with a game mission! He gave so much to seize this fleeting opportunity!

Link is not wrong, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. And now, Butler thinks he's ready!

Jimmy. Butler decisively shot from beyond the three-point line, and during his college years, Butler's three-point shooting percentage was simply sparse. After entering the NBA, it can be said that there is basically no scoring ability. But after a year of progress, Butler is no longer what it used to be.

Some of the Thunder players are ready to protect the rebound, while others are running to the frontcourt, ready to play counterattacks.

But Butler still maintains the posture of pressing his wrist when he shoots, and he believes he can do it.

"Brush!"

After a period of flying, the basketball hollowed into the net and exploded into a white wave!

The Thunder fans in the stadium were confused? Who is that guy? What did he do? The Thunder was overtaken!?

Butler shook his fist lightly and then pointed at Link on the bench.

"Haha, it seems that kid is indeed trustworthy." Randolph, who was next to Link, also laughed. Butler is incredibly calm on the court, and he's less like a player on call and more like a normal rotation player.

Training hard day in and day out to make Jimmy. Butler never relented.

Link is relieved now, Butler + Tony. Allen + Conley is enough for the Thunder's bench to drink a pot.

Now, Link just wants to rest in peace. Then, as Stevens put it, it erupted at some point in the second half and led a wave of offense that was enough to kill the game.

The championship is all done, and the Western champion will not be spared either!
