Yesterday's game between the Warriors and the Bulls made many Warriors fans realize a new style of play, and this style of play is the meaning of Butler joining the Warriors, and why the Warriors did everything possible to get Durant.

Curry scored 24 points in the third quarter yesterday, which was a good deal. But most teams in the league still play a pinch-and-shoot and multiplayer defense against the Warriors, so it's hard for Curry to score such explosive quarters every game. Because the opponent will limit Curry in a targeted manner, and once Curry is targeted by the opponent, the Warriors will have no stable scoring point in the second point.

The Warriors often pass the ball for long periods of time during the 24-second half, and they try to find easy shots whenever possible. That's Kerr's system, he's a big fan of team basketball and wants to be able to move the ball to get easy shots. However, many teams in the league have studied the Warriors' system very thoroughly, and some of the Warriors' cover and some cooperation are difficult to play. So you'll find that before Butler came, the Warriors would often make some ineffective passes, and eventually they would make a hasty shot by a certain player, and there was no guarantee of shooting percentage.

After Butler joined the Warriors, the current Warriors may have more than a dozen seconds to pass the ball in the 24-second offensive process of the half, and continue to follow Kerr's system. But if the pass doesn't come out on the fifteenth second, Kerr may instruct the player to give the ball to Butler. Whether it's for Butler to play alone or for Butler to make a kill, it seems to be a scoring guarantee for the Warriors.

The biggest significance of Butler joining the Warriors is his lethality. Butler is very good at scoring from mid-range and under the basket. He's a very tough player who actively seeks physical confrontation every time he attacks, so he's very prone to fouls. One-third of Butler's points come from the free-throw line. The Warriors are hoping to see Butler step up to the free-throw line again and again. He's a game-breaker when the Warriors' system isn't working well.

So Butler and Curry complement each other as a duo, Curry can attract defense, and Butler can use his individual ability to play alone and help the team score. Any player paired with Curry can bring out the best in him, and Butler is no exception.
