【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】
Before the third year of high school, Butler only cared about food and clothing, sleeping in the open air, and wandering around, which made Butler bear the unbearable weight of life.
If it weren't for his good friend Laisley's mother Michelle Lambert to take in the child, I'm afraid Butler would never be able to set foot in the NBA, the highest hall of basketball, in his life.
It was also Lambert's accommodation and teaching that improved Butler's bad habits developed while wandering. She made demands on Butler and strictly enforced them: curfew, study hard, and do housework.
Most importantly, Lambert told Butler that he had to be a role model because the other six kids in the family adored him, that he couldn't get into trouble, and that he had to be a positive person.
And it is precisely because of Lambert's shelter that Butler has a stable life, and Butler is able to show his interest.
He and his good friend Laisley joined the high school basketball team, and this was the beginning of Butler's basketball journey.
Butler's basketball journey has not been smooth sailing. From community college to Marquette University, Butler has made far more efforts than ordinary people in his comeback.
Butler has always believed in a sentence: "Efforts may not be seen, but the light is destined not to be hidden!"
So even after joining the NBA, Butler has to work harder than others.
However, his childhood experience also left him with a vigilant character.
Adler said: "Fortunate people are healed by childhood all their lives, and unlucky people are healed by childhood all their lives."
"I'm okay, sickle. I don't have much playing time. I can use these time. My current shooting is not good enough, so I need to work harder. I want to be a qualified substitute!"
Butler wiped the sweat off his brow with a towel, with determination written all over his face.
"sickle, why is your shooting so good?"
Butler asked curiously.
"Hahahaha, everyone's talent is different. Maybe my shooting talent is even better, just like Stephen Curry you saw in the training camp before. Although his physical talent is not top-notch, his shooting talent is the top in history!"
"Well, but your physical talent seems to be the top in history." Butler answered straight.
"Uh...why do you have to compare with me?"
"Because you are the most powerful player I have ever seen. When I was in college, I always followed your example." Butler said seriously.
Lian Dao scratched his head, he was a little embarrassed by Butler's blunt praise.
He also didn't expect that he would affect Butler.
But Lian Dao underestimated his own influence. He not only influenced Butler, but also many college and high school basketball players. They all tried to make Lian Dao their idols. rice.
"Actually, you should start with defense."
Lian Dao gave his own advice based on Butler's growth trajectory in the previous life.
"Why?"
"Offensive is never something that can be achieved overnight, but defense will become the foundation for you to gain a foothold in the league at this stage. And compared to offense, you are also better at this aspect. First play to your strengths, and then gradually make up for your own weaknesses. "

"What's more, during training, you have to defend like a game. Only by treating training as a game can you make faster progress."
"Come on, let's play a 1v1 match, I will attack you and defend, do my best!"
Butler was very excited that Lian Dao could help him improve, he ran over immediately, threw himself into the defense with open arms...
…
After a 1v1 match, Butler was exhausted and collapsed on the floor, but Lian Dao was very refreshed.
In addition to Tony Allen, Lian Dao finally found another suitable partner in the Knicks. Although Jimmy Butler is not as good as Tony Allen now, Lian Dao is looking forward to his growth.
"How about it, Jimmy..."
"Come again! I will do my best!"
Lian Dao originally wanted the little guy to take a break, but he didn't expect him to stand up again before Lian Dao finished speaking, his eyes were full of determination and seriousness.
Lian Dao was a little surprised at first, but soon became happy.
"This little guy's physical fitness is a bit interesting, it seems that I won't be lonely in the future!"
"Jimmy is really talented in defense. Although I prefer offense, this kid's defense may become a surprise soldier for us in the future!"
On the second floor of the training hall, D'Antoni, drinking coffee, watched the fierce offensive and defensive battle below.
At the beginning, he hoped to develop Butler's offensive talent as much as possible so that he could complement Gallinari's firepower.
But now, D'Antoni finds that perhaps it is most correct to develop Jimmy's defense first.
"I think so too. He is very talented in defense. With Sickle and Tony around, his defensive ability should grow very quickly."
Mike Woodson, a defensive madman, likes players like Jimmy Butler the most.
Lian Dao didn't know it at the time, and originally wanted to find a partner for himself, but he didn't expect to become someone else's partner.
However, defense and offense are mutual achievements. Only when you face the best defense can you practice the best offense, and vice versa.
…
January 27, 2012, Miami.
Compared with New York, which is still in deep winter, the temperature in Miami this season is a bit like spring, neither hot nor cold.
On artsy Collins Street, you'll occasionally spot people in t-shirts this season.
Directly in front of the American Airlines Arena is a huge promotional poster with the Big Three of the Heat, James, Wade, Bosh vs. Lian Dao, Stoudemire, and Holiday.
The warm-up of this game has been nearly half a month long, and almost all basketball fans have developed a strong interest in this game.
And inside the American Airlines Arena, there are already a sea of people at this time, and there are no empty seats.
In the previous series of warm-ups, the Miami fans were the most excited.
They are now eagerly looking forward to the Heat's Big Three to complete their revenge at home tonight.
Before the game, the camera shot to the Heat, and James was interacting with James Jones on the sidelines beating his chest.
Everyone knows that James, Wade and Bosh belong to the 03 generation, but few people pay attention. In fact, the other James of the Heat also belongs to the 03 generation.

It's just that compared to LeBron James, James Jones was selected with the 49th overall pick in the second round.
Although they are both of the 03 generation, and although they are both called James, the two are very different in terms of draft and performance in entering the league.
Of course, the focus of the live camera is not James Jones, but LeBron among him!
The muscular and full chest muscles, as well as the thick biceps and angular back muscles, were immediately displayed on the big screen at the scene.
After an off-season, although James didn't gain weight, his muscles became leaner, and he really realized that the muscles are under the skin! This summer, let him practice Thanos-level muscles.
Especially when he made the action of beating his chest with both hands and roaring towards the sky ~www.mtlnovel.com~ really looks like King Kong in the movie.
Looking at the figure of James, Lian Dao couldn't help sighing: What a big muscular bully.
Although Lian Dao is also very strong, his muscle lines are not as exaggerated as James, but his strength is not inferior to James.
Lian Dao is a bit like Kobe and Jordan. Although his body muscle lines are not exaggerated, his core strength is strong.
So in the confrontation, you will see that Lian Dao's size is obviously not as strong as his opponent, but the opponent cannot withstand Lian Dao's impact and strength confrontation.
The camera turned again and swept across the front row of the auditorium. Many celebrities and entertainers came to the scene.
The camera swept across all the celebrities, but only stayed a little longer on a group of sisters.
It turned out to be the Kardashians.
At this time, they were greeting the camera lens charmingly. It is estimated that the staff in front of the camera screen have already stared dumbfounded.
As a well-known socialite family in New York, Lian Dao is no stranger to this group of sisters.
After all, it is the home court of the Knicks, and their sisters have appeared many times in Madison Square Garden.
Including some celebration parties held by James Dolan before, some entertainment celebrities invited, including the Kardashian sisters.
Lian Dao had also seen them at that time.
As the God of War in New York, Lian Dao is naturally the man the Kardashians want to conquer the most. It doesn't matter if they like it, but collecting stamps seems to be a great pleasure for the women of the Kardashian family.
