Although Butler led the Heat to beat the Lakers in G3 of the finals, the Heat still defeated the Lakers in G4 despite the comeback of Adebayor to make many people think the series will end in G5, especially in the case of Dragic still not ready to come back, many people even before the start of G5 have begun to long for LeBron James’ championship speech. But, once again, Butler came out and said no.

On a night when James scored 40 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists on 71.4% shooting, Davis also scored 28 points and 12 rebounds on 60% shooting, and even Pop scored 16 points, Dragic was not back and Adebayor only scored 13 points and 4 rebounds in 38 minutes of playing time, but it was the Heat who had the last laugh. This is certainly related to the excellent performance of the Heat’s shooting group led by Duncan Robinson, but in this game the Heat still had no advantage in front of the Lakers in terms of three-point shooting, and the Heat beat the Lakers again for only one reason, and that was Butler.

A lot of people were marveling at James’ efficient and comprehensive performance in this game, but Butler’s performance was also very good. In such a high-intensity battle of survival, Butler only rested for a total of 48 seconds, hit 11 out of 19 shots, shooting 57.9%, such offensive efficiency for a core guard is already very high, and he also got the highest 12 free throw opportunities and hit all of them, got 35 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals and a cap of Triple-double stats, only 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, assists and steals were the highest in the game.

This is not Butler’s first 35+ triple-double in this finals, he got 40 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists on 70% shooting in the finals G3, becoming the first player in the history of the Heat to get 35+ triple-doubles in a single game in the finals, achieving a feat that was not achieved by LeBron James who reigned as the Finals MVP in the Heat. Now, Butler has got 35+ triple-double for the second time in this series, the only player to have gotten a triple-double in this finals so far.

How hard is it to get a 35+ triple-double in a single game in the Finals? In the long history of the NBA before this season only a total of four times to accomplish such a feat, the first is the 1969 finals in the seventh game Jerry West got 42 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, the second by James Worthy in the 1988 finals in the seventh game, the other two belong to LeBron James, in 2015 in the G2 and G5 are picked up such numbers. In other words, today’s Butler is already tied with James for first place in NBA history in terms of 35+ triple-doubles in the Finals! This is only Butler’s first trip to the Finals!

These numbers show how tough Butler is when he is “alone”. At that time, Butler’s task was not over yet, his Heat was still down 2-3, in G6 the Heat still faced a huge pressure of “renew or go home”, but two wins should give the Heat’s young players some confidence, Davis’s injury is also a huge advantage for the Heat, Butler can lead the Heat to repeat the story of 2016. Can Butler lead the Heat to repeat the 2016 Cavaliers’ story?

Besides O’Neal and Jordan, whose jerseys have been retired in the history of the Heat?

Jersey retirement is the team’s recognition of a player’s contribution, as a way to honor a player, retired NBA jerseys numbers are no longer used by the team’s players, the NBA’s 30 teams have nearly 200 retired jerseys, the most is the history of the Celtics, has retired 22 jerseys, and the other giants are just half of the Green Army 11 pieces, the other retired big players Blazers, Pistons, Kings are retired 11 pieces, today we will talk, the retired 5 pieces of Heat jerseys.

  1. Jordan

This is a rather odd practice, in April 2003 the Heat and Wizards game, Jordan on behalf of the Wizards against the Heat, the results of this game, the Heat retired his No. 23 jersey, to know that Jordan has never played for the Heat, until later learned that the original Heat president Pat Riley was Jordan’s dominance was deeply impressed, so for him to send the highest honor.

4. Tim Hardaway

Tim Hardaway is nicknamed the “bugs” in the first round of 14, 1989 show, height 1 meter 83, he is a famous master of the ball in NBA history, the vagaries of legs to dribble is his signature action, he played 13 years in the NBA in total, five and a half seasons is spent in the heat, in the heat of that time, his two all-star, A one-time all-Nba selection, the Heat retired his No. 10 jersey in 2009.

  1. O’Neal

In the summer of 2004, the Heat used a lot of chips to trade for the “Shark” O’Neal, who was at the end of his prime, and O’Neal was able to influence the Heat both statistically and mentally, and helped the Heat get the first championship in the team’s history in his second year with the Heat. He is still one of the best players in the history of the Heat, and in 2016, his No. 32 jersey was retired by the Heat.

  1. Chris Bosh

Bosh played in the Heat for 6 years, during which his sacrifice and pay, everyone is visible, as long as he is given enough rights, an average of 20 + 10 data is not a problem, the need for defense when Bosh can stand out, the key moment of the offense is never soft, the final moment of the final for Green “death cover”, now Still fresh in my mind, the biggest sacrifice in the Big Three is him, 2019, the Heat retired his No. 1 jersey.

  1. Mourning

After a bad time in Charlotte, Miami and Riley welcome Mourning with open arms, his arrival also makes the Heat really become a force to be reckoned with in the NBA, in Mourning’s Heat period, he was selected as an All-Star five times, twice elected the best defensive player, but also the best lineup and the best defensive lineup of regulars, but at this time he encountered two major roadblocks, one is Jordan’s Bulls, one is kidney disease, Mourning and Riley’s dynasty The dream is always a mirror, his No. 33 jersey was retired in 2009.
