NBA player Lou Wei accepted the famous American podcast column "Run It" before May 25 Back talks about the performance of the Warriors new star Butler in the second round of the playoffs: "

I fully agree with the Flash Wade's point of view. Since Butler has received the annual salary of nearly $60 million for the Warriors, you must at least make corresponding contributions. Whether you average 25+ points per game or assist 10-13 times, it at least proves your absolute superstar value. Obviously Butler did not do it!"

" What's more, the second round of the playoffs against the Timberwolves was when Stephen Curry was injured. Butler had more shooting rights and tactical status, but he did not usher in the explosion moment. Look Let’s take a stunning performance of Alexander of the Thunder, or look at the data of Harden, the Clippers’ 36-year-old. Maybe Butler will always be only suitable as a second or third leader in the team! ”

Butler played five games against the Timberwolves in the second round of the Western Conference Playoffs, averaged 38.0 minutes per game, scored 20.0 points + 7.4 rebounds + 5.6 assists + 1.2 steals, shooting percentage 44.0%, three-point shooting percentage 30.0%, and free throw shooting percentage 75.0%. With Stephen Curry’s injury, he could not lead the Warriors to advance better, and eventually encountered the Timberwolves’ easy elimination 4-1!
