Beijing time on April 17, 2022, the NBA playoffs began to compete, in Philadelphia's home game against the Raptors, the Raptors were behind from the beginning, they had no way to match Philadelphia in terms of game intensity, so that Philadelphia scored more than 30 points in the first three quarters, such defensive intensity is indeed difficult to win.
The most uncomfortable thing for the Raptors was that the game went to the fourth quarter, the team's core player Barnes made a defensive defense against Embiid in a defensive round, but in the process of coming to supplement the defense, he was stepped on by Embiid's breakthrough center of gravity foot, and directly 90 degrees, and then Barnes fell to the ground in pain, covering his ankle all the time. After the team doctor's examination, he was helped out by his teammates!
Judging from the footage of the game, Barnes's degree of weakness is still very serious, and I don't know what the result of the post-match inspection is. But from the current point of view, it will definitely affect his next game!
Before he left the court, he played 31 minutes and 34 seconds, shot 4 of 6, got 15 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, if not injured, he may have a triple-double in his first playoff game, and now it is a pity to leave the game due to injury!
For the Raptors, really pray that Barnes is not a problem, otherwise they will be more difficult to play in this series, and it is really difficult for them to fight against such a powerful Philadelphia!
