On April 19, Beijing time, the second game of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Philadelphia 76ers hosted the Raptors, and the game went on to 6 minutes and 59 seconds in the second quarter, and the 76ers led the Raptors 74-56. However, the game went on until the end of the half, and the 76ers led the Raptors 67-52, but the number of free throws in the first half was controversial. At the end of the first half, the Raptors made a total of 7 free throws, 76ers as many as 23 free throws, 76ers 23 free throws 21, of which Embiid alone made more free throws than the Raptors as a whole team.
Embiid made 11 of 12 free throws in the half, and such a large gap in free throws caused a heated discussion among fans. In response, NBA celebrity Perkins also commented: "I found that people really hate the Philadelphia 76ers, I just want to know what! "So why?
However, the US media "Talkin NBA" listed the half-court free throw data of the Raptors and the 76ers, and then wrote: "Maybe it is related to the number of free throws!" At the end of the half, Harden's side had 14 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks on 3 of 21 minutes, and 14 points on 3 of 21 minutes, and Harden made seven free throws.
What about Embiid? At the end of the half, the fire was in full swing, with 19 points and 3 rebounds on 4-of-6 and 19 points on 4-of-4. Some fans joked about this: "Watching the 76ers game is watching a free throw game." However, there was also a clash in the game, with Anunoby and Embiid pushing and shoving each other, after which the players from both sides got together and almost triggered a big conflict, but it was pulled apart in time to stop it.
And, in the following rounds, Embiid and Siakam fought against the fall, the Raptors directly chose to challenge, but the referee still gave Sika a foul, and then the scale of confrontation between the two sides was further improved! Here I have to say, is the whistle off?
