On April 17, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs 76ers played against the Raptors. An accident occurred on the field in the second quarter of the game, and Embiid suffered a first-degree malicious foul while defending Barnes.
Speaking about the Raptors before the game, Embiid said, "Over the years, it's the Raptors that keep getting better, look at their showdown with me, the Raptors have definitely made me a better organizer." Indeed, Embiid will never forget the whistle that Little Card shot in front of him in this life.
Faced with this opponent, Embiid is also eager for revenge. With 6 minutes left in the second quarter, Barnes counter-attacked the layup and forced the basket down, and Embiid waited a long time. At the moment Barnes made the layup, the referee whistled.
The referee looked back at the video, and the slow-motion replay showed Embiid slapping Barnes in the face as his opponent took off. He then covered his men and nearly hit Barnes again. When the referee watched the video, the Raptor rookie's right eye could not be opened.
The referee eventually blew embiid a vicious foul, which made people see the smell of gunpowder. But embiid then made a layup of 2 plus 1, widening the point difference to double digits. Embiid had a fierce expression, he wanted to win too much.
