On April 17, Beijing time, the 76ers played at home against the Raptors, and the 76ers successfully defeated the Raptors 131-111 at the end of the game. In fact, before this round of the series began, many people were still worried that the 76ers would have problems, after all, the raptors' defensive strength is placed here, and secondly, Harden's resume in the playoffs is really bad, so in this case, it is not ruled out that the Raptors will bring some trouble to the 76ers, but in this game, the 76ers have proved themselves with practical actions, the Raptors did not play a big role in Embiid's bag, but let Maxi and others find the state in the game, and finally the 76ers also won a big victory.
On the other hand, the Raptors did not play a good performance in this game, in fact, Siakam still led the team to chase the score in the game, but unfortunately, whenever the Raptors chased the score, the play of Maxi and others in the game was always able to help the 76ers open the score again. And in this game, Barnes also left the field injured, and now according to famous reports, sources reveal that Barnes's ankle injury X-ray test is negative, and there will be an MRI tomorrow. It can be said that Barnes's injury has a great impact on the Raptors, and now Barnes' injury has cast a shadow on the prospects of the Raptors, after all, if it is not good, the Raptors may be swept out by the 76ers, after all, the 76ers have shown strong dominance in the G1 game.
In an interview after the game, Nas said: "I hope there will be more penalties for Embiid, I feel that there have been a few times in the game where we have attacked Embiid successfully and have not gotten the whistle. In addition, Embiid had three or four times to push his elbow into the face of our players, but only once was he blown foul. Obviously, when it comes to Embiid, Nas is also a showdown, and he is very dissatisfied with Embiid's decision, hoping that the referee can be more strict with Embiid's blowing penalty, but since this is the playoffs, the referee will allow the players to fight each other, so it will still be difficult to change this matter.
And Harden has an excellent performance in this game, after all, in this game Harden's outside three-pointers are good, and Harden also sent a lot of offense, when seeing the Raptors can chase points, Harden is able to stand up and score to help the team stabilize the situation, it can be said that the current Harden is doing what the 76ers expect him to do. Talking about the next game after the game, Harden said: "We are going to start preparing for G2 now, today is a good win, but we have to watch the video, we have to continue to get better. Although the 76ers have already performed well in this game, Harden is obviously not satisfied with the status quo, he wants the 76ers to play better in the game, of course, Harden's words are also reasonable, after all, this is only the first playoff game, so the 76ers can not be careless, at least they need to win the first two home games to be able to breathe a little relief.
At the same time, in this game, Maxi has a very good play, especially in the third quarter of the game Maxi led the team to get a big score lead is very critical, so after this game Maxi also got more appreciation, all think that Maxi is the key to the 76ers to win, but in fact, Maxi certainly has a very important role, but the 76ers want to go further Maxi is not the key, after all, after experiencing this game, Maxi will definitely be strictly guarded, It is difficult to say whether Maxi will still be able to play explosive performances, so another giant of the 76ers is needed outside of Maxi to stand up and help the team.
This giant is Harris, as the core giant of the 76ers Harris salary is not low, and in this game Harris also has a good play, the end of the game Harris got 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists data, it can be said that when Harris has a good performance in the game, his help to the 76ers is also huge, especially when there is an empty position, Harris needs to seize the opportunity, which is a very critical thing for the 76ers, so the next game Harris's play is still crucial, He needs to play consistently in the game.
