"Everyone stay focused, we're still in the lead. Stop the final attack, and we've got this!"
On the 76ers' bench, Brown had just finished explaining the tactics when Butler got up and shouted to the other players.
Simmons' previous decision was so suffocating that the 76ers' morale plummeted, as if they had suddenly returned to their state during training.
"Yes, we just need to stop the last attack!" Embiid also stood up,
"We can't let all our efforts tonight go to waste. Let's put everything on the line to defend this play!"
With the team's leader and nominal boss making statements, the dejected expressions on everyone's faces quickly disappeared.
Just before going back on the court, Embiid found Simmons and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't blame yourself, we still have a chance!"
Teammates are always the best teachers, and playing alongside Butler has greatly helped Embiid's growth.
Simmons' expression was full of emotion.
