The 76ers reversed the Heat to advance, and behind Embiid's 23+15+6, three "mutations" were the turning point

Text/Water is clear

105-104, the 76ers reversed the Heat after trailing by 14 points to advance as the 7th in the East, Embiid contributed 23 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists, and the three "mutations" were the turning point of the game.

Embiid led the team to a 23+15+5 reversal of the Heat

At the beginning of the game, Embiid led the team to establish an 8-point advantage, Coach Cospo offered a joint defense strategy, Butler led by 4 steals, and the Heat had a 14-point advantage at 51-37, and as a result, three "mutations" followed.

1. Butler was injured.

Butler in the playoffs, the league's top hardcore, is reflected in this game:

Butler steals and dunks

In the first half, although Butler had no shooting touch, in addition to his 4 assists, he also had 4 steals and foul kills, 10 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists and 4 steals, and the plus/minus value of the game was +12.

Butler was injured instantly

The Heat counterattacked, Butler basketed a little fly Oubre and then attacked the basket, after the two made contact in the air, his right knee formed a slight sprain of the reverse joint, although he has insisted on playing since then, but he no longer dared to attack strongly, and in the third minute of the decisive game, he did not touch the ball once, which objectively confirmed that the injury was not light, but the tenacious perseverance allowed him to still stand on the court and play a leading role.

Butler's sudden injury, the Heat lost the first core, and the 76ers were able to reverse the first factor.

Second, Batum's outbreak.

Taking advantage of your illness, you want to die, it sounds a bit cruel to say, but it is the truest portrayal of competitive sports, when Butler was unable to play normally due to injury, Coach Nas made a decisive choice, Batum mainly attacked and bullied Butler, so:

In the first half of the game, Batum made 1 of 2 outside the three-point line, but he could fight again, and in the face of Butler's relatively slow movement, Batum began to shoot three points crazily, such as this attack, it can be clearly seen that Butler's right leg is not also powerful, and he has stumbled after the defense landed.

Batum scored his sixth three-pointer

Batum's sixth three-pointer, after Butler was spotted away, he wanted to return to defense for the second time, and his right foot was no longer powerful.

Note that the 76ers basically couldn't break the Heat's joint defense in the first half, but because Butler couldn't match Batum, the Heat's joint defense failed under Batum's 5-of-9 three-point fire.

Batum scored 17 points and 4 rebounds on 5-of-9 three-pointers in the second half, and the 76ers were able to reverse the second factor.

3. Embiid suddenly erupted.

Butler's performance was limited due to injury, and Batum suddenly exploded, allowing the 76ers to completely turn the situation around, and in the last three minutes, Embiid also suddenly broke out and started to take over the game.

Embiid made two fouls

The team trailed 88-91, and Embiid made two fouls for Harkes.

Embiid made a crucial three-pointer

Harkes missed, and Embiid made a half-conversion offense to directly ask for a three-pointer, helping the team to take a 93-91 lead.

Embiid 2+1

Herro responded with three points, and after Batum attacked the iron, Embiid grabbed the rebound and threw it directly to make it 2+1.

Embiid assists Oubre 2+1

The Heat chased it to a 96-96 tie, and Embiid's outburst finally forced the Heat to attack, and his fifth assist helped Oubre 2+1. It is worth noting that Butler was unable to complete the basket due to a knee injury.

From 88-91 to 99-96, this wave of 11-5 rebound, Embiid contributed 8 points and 1 assist, and his sudden outburst was the third factor that the team was able to reverse.

Batutu hats off Hiro's three-pointer

When the Heat fell into passivity, the game returned to square one, and the super leader was needed to solve the problem, because Butler was unable to execute the key offense due to injury, the finishing power could only be handed over to Herro alone, and the result: Batum capped Herro three points, and the Heat could only execute foul tactics, Maxey and Oubre closed the victory on 6-of-6 free throws.

At this point, looking at the 76ers' reversal of the Heat, the above three mutations have become the turning point, and Butler's sudden injury is the origin.
