He had just finished with a “reverse lay-up” despite the fault. Jimmy Butler then turned to his bench By pointing to Stephen Curry who, hilarious as their teammates, was already gesturing. A little earlier, The two men had already exchanged Smiles on the bench after the playmaker had caught fire in the 3rd quarter on the Bulls prosecutor's office.
This means the level of complicity already existing between them. “” Steph and I have a lot of coffee to drink in the coming days “Already announces the newcomer of the Warriors, who repeats to be” happy Since his arrival in California.
These good signals were also felt on the ground. While the Warriors were very badly embarked in Illinois, counting up to 24 points behind, they overturned the steam spectacular in the second period based on their new tandem.
Stephen Curry again flambé behind the arc (34 points with 8/16 from afar), Ca Butler played muscles in the racket. Author of 25 points, he took only one shot outside the painting and collected 13 passages on the line of free throws (11/13).
Two opposite game styles
“” He is the exact opposite of me, which is fun. I draw 16 times at 3-point, it only draws one. He went a lot to the free throw line. He dominated in the racket, I dominated outside. Guys work around us, it has the potential to be really nice », Imagine Curry already.
“” It is said that the opposites attract themselves in many ways in life, and I do not think that I can be a better complement for him and vice versa, in the sense that they never leave him (open at 3-point). So there is a lot of space for all the others, it makes work easier for me. I play in one against one, I have a lot of space. Everyone is looking for it or seeks to release it, and at the same time, they look for all the others. It's great to play with someone like that “, Enthuse butler.
The warriors lacked a “lion” in attack
The latter, who says he is exhausted after weeks without playing, appreciated the show from the bench: ” It's nice to look every time I was extremely tired, finding my breath on the bench. Playing with him, seeing how intelligent, altruistic he is, his way of entering the most incredible shots … He wants his teammates to succeed, there is nothing better. »»
This successful start for this new version of the Warriors seems promising for the future. “” It's a pleasure to have Jimmy in our team. He's an incredible player. Its ability to obtain faults allows us to solve a problem. But I am the most impressed by his passing game, it changes everything. It goes further, it is his presence on the ground. He's a lion. It's a force », Let go of a Steve Kerr also under the spell.
