Butler: Don t always pass the ball to Curry to shoot, whoever has the chance will shoot! I will keep hitting the inside and betting on everything for G7

Butler will start the "Black Eight Mode" during the Heat period! Butler said: "I will continue to hit the basket in G7 and create shooting opportunities for my teammates! And our players should take decisive action after getting the ball, and don't try to pass the ball to me and Curry again! Selflessness is a good thing, but selflessness will hurt the team!"
It seems that Butler is going to start the "Black Eight Mode", and he also emphasized that he should not always pass the ball to Curry to shoot, and whoever has a good chance will shoot. After the Warriors players get the ball, they often look for Curry first instead of shooting by themselves, which will only cut off the shooting rhythm. Butler just wants his teammates to take decisive action so that they can have a good shooting rhythm.
Curry and Butler, however, it is not realistic for Butler to imagine playing like he was during the Heat. The reasons are as follows:
1. The Warriors are not the Heat, and the Warriors do not have the Heat's configuration. The Warriors have been playing around Curry over the years. If Butler suddenly takes over the team in G7, no one will be able to adapt.
2. The Warriors now have only Curry’s shooter, and the others are unqualified. If Curry doesn’t make him shoot, he will only lose even worse. Creating good shooting opportunities for Curry is the way to win.

3. Butler wants to keep hitting the inside, and it is not realistic to get more free throws. Butler was able to hit the inside by 40-50 points in the Heat Black Eighth period! But it won't work in the Warriors! The Warriors' attention is too high, not comparable to the Heat, and the league dares not let Butler keep going to the free throw line.
4. The referee is willing to give Butler a free throw, but the number of free throws is limited. After reaching a certain number, it will not be given again! Alexander can't do anything the league won't let the referee be pushed to the forefront for the sake of the 35-year-old Butler.
5. The Warriors must play around Curry, otherwise the Warriors' system will collapse, and Butler can only assist Curry, rather than control the ball himself. The main reason why the Warriors lost to the Rockets is that the gap in the inside line is too big, which is difficult to solve.
Adams
6. Butler also emphasized that he would grab rebounds at all costs, especially those 50% chances, because the Warriors lost rebounds almost every game! However, the Rockets have Shin Kyung + Adams' double towers, especially Adams is simply a giant. How can the Warriors compete for rebounds with him? Unless he can be beaten.
However, Adams is a well-known good guy, he is not dirty in playing basketball, and he also has a very good impression of the referee. It is almost impossible for the Warriors to beat him down. Moreover, Adams is also a veteran with a lot of experience and rebounding is his specialty, so no one in the Warriors can snatch him.
Butler
The biggest problem for the Warriors is physical fitness. If they cannot lead the first three quarters, they will not be able to withstand the impact of the Rockets in the fourth quarter. Butler wants to start the "Black Eight Mode in the Heat Period", while Curry wants to start the "Super God Mode in the Ticket Seven War". Both of them need the cooperation of their teammates, so who should G7 listen to?
Although I really hope that the Warriors can advance, it is too difficult for the Warriors to eliminate the Rockets. G5 is the best opportunity, but unfortunately I missed it! It feels like the G7 Rockets will advance, just like the Nuggets will advance against the Clippers, because the momentum is all about the Rockets, and it is difficult for the Warriors to perform super magical performances due to physical problems. What do you think about this? Comments are welcome, thank you.
