Bring injuries to the battlefield! Embiid made a comeback to hit the Heat

In the first two games of the series, with Embiid's injury absence and Harden's slump, the 76ers were powerless at the Heat's home court, losing two consecutive games with double-digit point differences and returning home with a 0-2 scoreline. Before this campaign begins, for the 76ers, Embiid's comeback is undoubtedly great news, and they will have a lot of changes in many ways when they return from the inner pillars, and the Heat will face very different defensive pressure from the previous two games.

In the first quarter of the game, the two teams were early in a tug-of-war, and although they quickly played a wave of 14:2, the 76ers made four consecutive turnovers before the end of the quarter, and the Heat took the opportunity to chase the point difference to 4 points. In the second quarter, the 76ers always held the initiative on the court, and still led by seven points at halftime. In the third quarter, although the 76ers pulled away the point difference in the first half, the Heat began to stubbornly chase points under butler's leadership, playing a wave of 20:6 small climax to wipe out the point difference. In the final quarter, the 76ers regained their form and blossomed, played a wave of 26:12 to open the score again, and finally won back a city with a 99:79 victory over the Heat.

In this game, Embiid's comeback became the key to the 76ers' ability to reverse the decline, although he missed two games and did not get to the best after his comeback, playing 36 minutes and shooting only 5 of 12 shots, but he got 10 opportunities to stand on the free throw line, cut a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, and caused a huge impact on the Heat's interior line. Under his impact, Adebayor, who was screaming on the inside of the first two games, was greatly challenged, with 3 turnovers in the whole game, and 5 fouls, with a plus-minus of -22 lowest in the team.

In addition to Embiid's personal performance, due to his containment of the Heat's defense, the 76ers' outside shooter group in this campaign has more shooting space, and the team shot 16 of 33 from three-point range, shooting 48.5% from the field. Among them, Maxi scored 21 points on 5-of-6 three-point shooting, and Green scored 21 points on 7-of-9 three-pointers. Although Harden did not shoot well from three-pointers in this game, due to Embiid's influence on the inside, he became more determined to impact the basket, breaking through the whole field and shooting 8 three-pointers to cut 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. In short, thanks to Embiid' presence, the 76ers have become more fluid on both ends of the board.

As for the Heat, Embiid's sudden comeback caught them off guard, with Oladipo and Hiro, who had performed well in the first two games, only scoring 6 and 14 points respectively, and Lowry, who also came back, did not score in the 0-of-4 shooting. Adebayor encountered a great challenge on the offensive end, shooting only 2 of 9 in the whole game, only 9 points and 3 rebounds, and he scored 20+ in the first two games. Although Butler, the team's best performer, cut 33 points and 9 rebounds on 12-of-22 shooting, and scored 14 points in the third quarter, he was helpless to fight with two fists and four hands, and the team also swallowed a 20-point defeat.

The next game will still be played at home for the 76ers, the 76ers will have to take advantage of Embiid's comeback to take advantage of the win to equalize, and the Heat will need to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible after this game, and if they can win the next game, then their probability of qualifying will be greatly increased.

Paul made 7 mistakes at halftime! The Lone Ranger takes back a city

In the first two games between the two sides, although Doncic played against the sky in two consecutive games, the overall strength of the Suns was superior, and the Lone Rangers lost two consecutive games to temporarily fall behind 0:2. The reason why the Morale of the Suns is so high, the play of Paul and Booker is very critical. And if the Lone Rangers, who returned home this game, lost again, then they would face a 0:3 desperate situation.

In the first quarter of the game, the home loners quickly took the initiative, and they built a nine-point lead with a 15-2 surge. In the second quarter, the Lone Rangers still suppressed the Suns, and through Paul's targeted defense, they continued to make mistakes, and the Lone Rangers continued to maintain the lead. Yi Bian fought again, and in the third quarter of the game, the Lone Rangers continued to take over the game, playing a small climax of 18:5, and established a 15-point lead in the third quarter. In the final quarter, although the Suns, who were not willing to lose, were still struggling to chase points, the Lone Rangers always had someone to stand up and respond, and finally beat the Suns 103:94 to win back a city.

In this game, the Lone Rangers found a way to win, that is, to use a targeted defensive strategy to completely limit Paul's offense, and the connection between Paul and his teammates, which made the Suns' offense suffer a big blow. Under the pressure of the Lone Rangers' defense, even the always stable Paul lost himself, making seven turnovers in the first half of the game, only nine shots in the whole game, hitting 5 of them, and only getting 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 turnovers, which is also one of the worst playoffs in his career.

In this case, the Suns' overall offense has been greatly troubled, and without Paul's tandem, the rest of the team has been playing relatively hard in this game. Among them, Booker only shot 6 of 13 in this campaign, only scored 18 points and 6 assists in the whole game, and there were 5 turnovers, and he was crazy to cut 30+ in the last game. And whether it is Ayton, or starters such as Bridges and Crowder can only play piecemeal on the offensive end, such a performance is undoubtedly difficult for the Suns to win.

On the Lone Rangers side, in addition to doing the ultimate in the defensive end, they also have more players on the offensive end to help Doncic share the pressure. Among them, Brunson played well in this campaign and scored a team-high 28 points on 10-of-21 shooting, Smith and Bullock in the starting lineup shot a total of 8 three-pointers to get 29 points, and Klember, who came off the bench, also scored 14 points, which provided a great help to the Lone Ranger's offense. Doncic continued to play well, with a large quasi-triple-double of 26 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists.

After this game, the Lone Rangers pulled the score to 1:2, which also sounded a wake-up call for the Suns. In addition to the fourth game they need to work hard to win the match point, the Lone Rangers have found a way to win at both ends of the attack and defense, and the Suns must see the moves to adjust.
