Butler's oath is as etched in his bones as his rock-like character.

That's why he got into a fight with a paparazzi outside the training gym the next morning, and he shoved the guy who was secretly hiding behind the little duke's car with the intention of installing a bug directly into the trash can: a one-meter-seven guy obviously couldn't stop the two-meter-big man's shot.

By the time the police arrived, the poor paparazzi was even crying to the point of snot all over his face.

In the end, it was the fire police's cutter that was used to pull him out.

Immediately afterwards, he was taken to the police station by the police for investigation under the filming of countless peers, and he confessed to his crime. He admits that Snoopy's recent marriage has sent all the media into a frenzy, and he can't wait to get the first news because it will bring him great fame and money.

But now it looks like he's going to have to spend at least an extra $5,000 bailing himself.

And Butler became Illinois's new darling through this: Chicagoans love this kind of player who fights for Snoopy. It's like Oakley, the villain on the court who existed specifically to protect Michael Jordan.

But Snoopy clearly didn't want to use Butler as a courtroom bodyguard. He told Butler: You have to be a star to be worthy of your hard work.

Jimmy loves this kind of encouragement, and his mantra in life is that hard work can change everything.

And Snoopy did give him a platform to perform.

Butler started every game that followed, averaging 28 minutes per game.

After Kyrie Irving experienced Jimmy Butler's mad dog defense, Indiana's Danny Granger, Washington's John Wall, Detroit's Ben Gordon, and Milwaukee's Monta Ellis all enjoyed that treatment. (PS, Monta Ellis was traded to the Bucks by the Golden State Warriors during All-Star Weekend, and the Golden State Warriors have since completely established Stephen Curry's core tactical play)

Jimmy Butler seized the opportunity, averaging 8.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. As a defensive rookie, this statistic is already very valuable.

On top of that, his fighting spirit has earned him the love of the coaching staff and fans alike. Coupled with the fact that Snoopy often takes him to the media for post-game interviews, for a while, his exposure even surpasses that of the more top-ranked hot rookies, and there are even many voices saying that he should be included in the All-Rookie team.

Of course, this is highly unlikely. Taken over the season, he averaged less than five points per game, a far cry from those rookies who had gone to the top.

However, his future with the Bulls is at least brighter.

And the five consecutive wins also brought the Bulls' winning streak to 11, which means that the Bulls have not tasted a defeat since Rose's injury!!

And, there is no suspense to lock the 2011-2012 season of the regular season No. 1 position.

It's been a dream season for Chicago fans. The Illinois media is already touting Tom Thibodeau as the second year in a row because he has a 50-16 record despite repeated absences from Rose and Snoopy.

In addition, they also emphasized that the Bulls should have at least four players on the All-NBA team, and Joakim Noah, who averages 14.8 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game, should be the best defensive player. As for Snoopy, who averaged 25.0 points, 10.8 assists, 10.2 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 steals per game, he deserved to be the MVP.

It's not just a big talk in the skies over Illinois, it's a highly discussed topic throughout the basketball world.

However, the most discussed topic this week has been the Eastern Conference playoff matchup.

After suffering a humiliating sweep last season, the Knicks are a three-legged leader this year. When they moved to eighth in the East at the end of the season, Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony were called up at the same time, and they went on with injuries to fight with Jeremy Lin, Tyson Chandler and other players to finally lock up the seventh spot in the East in the penultimate game of the regular season.

This made the whole of New York breathe a sigh of relief, and finally did not have to face that terrifying demon king.

If we run into him again, God knows if he'll cut another fifty-point triple-double at Madison Garden. Or slaughter the Knicks for sixty points.

It's not that I look down on the home team players this year, it's that the man's murderous aura is too strong.

However, when New York State was glad that they finally didn't have to meet the Chicago Bulls in the playoffs, the Philadelphia 76ers, who fell to eighth, stood in front of the media and generously admitted: "The 76ers are more willing to play the Bulls than the Miami Heat!" ”

The man who said this was Philadelphia's top spotter, Evan Turner.

Frankly, Chicagoans are no strangers to Evan Turner. Because he is an Illinois native, he was so famous in high school that he was even voted Illinois Basketball of the Year. He then joined Ohio University, where he won numerous awards, and in 2010, he won a grand slam of major individual awards from American universities.

"I know Chicago has the best defensive lineup in the league and they have the best defensive efficiency in the league. However, we are second. ”

"The Bulls have two super outside players, Derrick Rose and Snoopydu. But Iguodala, Holiday and I have one of the best outside defenses in the league. ”

"Chicago is the first in the league in frontcourt rebounding, but the 76ers are third in the league in defensive rebounding."

"Chicago has the best defensive bench in the league: Gibson, Asik, Brewer and even Jimmy Butler. But we have the best offensive bench in the league: Louis Williams, Thaddeus Young, Hawes, ....... ”

"Also, let's not forget Derrick Rose's ankle injury. In terms of defense, in terms of athleticism, in terms of squad depth, we certainly have the qualifications to compete with the Bulls. ”

"We're not going to be presumptuous!"

Evan Turner said with great certainty in front of the media.

It's a good thing for young people to have confidence.

Lore Deng, who took over Marbury's political commissarship, sent this interview to every player's email address before the series began. And told them to be sure to watch it with the latest iPad 3 specially sponsored by Apple.

"We have to teach these young people a lesson."

Carlos Boozer was indignant in training camp. And patted his chest and promised: "I can definitely get Elton Brand!" ”

His words... The little duke was convinced, after all, Captain Brand was now in his last years. As a representative of the short forward, his unique skills have become more and more unsuitable for today's league as his athleticism has declined.

Carlos Boozer may be highly paid and incompetent, but he has not been abandoned by this era. In the vast majority of cases, if you don't count on his defense, he's still better.
