Live Bar, May 18 news the Heat beat the Celtics 123-116 on the road today, leading 1-0 in the series. Butler was interviewed by the media on the sidelines after the game.
Q: Jimmy, this is a great away victory. We have seen the game in which you cut 50 + lead in the first round, but you don’t need to use 50 + high scores to lead the team to win the game in the last round, what changes have taken place in your team compared with before?
A: We are A great team. Every night, people stand up in different ways. This is the case in every game and throughout the season. Everyone can stay focused, remain confident, make each other comfortable and play beautiful games.
Q: I know many people in your team are rushing to defend Tatum Road tonight. In the last three minutes of the match, Tatum was the main attacker of Celtics, but you forced him to make three mistakes. What is your defense strategy for him?
A: lower the center of gravity and keep close to his steps. Try not to foul him and make him feel uncomfortable. If we want to limit him, we can’t rely on only one person. All five people present must work hard. We have done a good job on this point. Now we still need to win the G2 series.
Q: You must know how precious away victory is when the playoffs reach now, and how important it is for you to win away?
A: This is A crucial victory. We hope to win as many victories as possible. We hope to continue to win away. We accomplished the task well tonight. Two days later, we hope to continue to do this.
