Star Embiid spoke about his outburst and leading the team to a difficult comeback: "
I really don't want to go out early, I've been preparing for a whole season to go for a championship and I definitely don't want to be knocked out by the Knicks and lose two games on their home court, which puts us on the back foot and everyone is under a lot of pressure. ”
"But I tell you that now that we're back on our home ground, it's up to us to do it, there's a lot of fans here who support us, and if we play aggressively at both ends of the pitch, we could win two games here as well. The whole series is seven games, everything is still in time, I'm glad I did it, our team did it, and the rest of the games will continue to fight one game at a time, don't think too much pressure!"
