On April 19, Beijing time, today, the second battle between the 76ers and the Raptors came to an end, and in the end, the 76ers won 112-97 against the opponent, with a 2-0 overall score temporarily leading. In this game, the Raptors only had the first quarter to play a draw with the 76ers, and after losing Barnes and Trent, Siakam and Anunoby lost two major helpers, unable to pose a threat to the 76ers, and could only watch their opponents take the victory away. The 76ers' best performer in this game was Embiid, who called the wind and rain, gave and demanded, and scored 31 points and 11 rebounds on 9-of-16 shooting.
In this game, Embiid's number of shots is very reasonable, allowing his teammates to get more offensive opportunities, others have not disappointed him, and his outstanding performance has also set a big record, Embiid 76ers 76ers have at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in 10 games of their playoff career, becoming the third person in team history. Following the last big outbreak, this game, Maxi continued to have a good feel, he played crazy for 41 minutes, 8 of 11, 3 of 6 three-pointers, bombed 23 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, plus-minus +22 second in the game, and only 2 mistakes, Maxi's speed is very fast, the breakthrough is extremely lethal, at this point, he has become the Raptors' number one problem.
Harris entered the playoffs after waking up like a dream, the last game, he cut 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, today, his performance is still very efficient, 7 of 11, cut 20 points and 10 rebounds, plus or minus +23 full game first, Harris's role for the team is mainly three, the first is to protect rebounds, the second is to improve the team's defensive intensity, and the third is to increase a ball point and pitcher. Today's Harris has done a very good job in these three areas, arguably quite perfectly. Harden played well in the half and sleepwalked in the second half.
In the end, he played 41 minutes, 3-of-9, and only had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, but there were a game-high 5 turnovers, of course, Harden had a few mistakes in garbage time. It turns out that the 76ers can't count on Harden at key moments, and when it comes to the decisive victory, it depends on the performance of Embiid and Maxi, Harden's speed is too slow, the breakthrough ability is far less than before, only suitable for playing in the regular stage of the playoffs, of course, Harden's passing ability is absolute, without Harden, the 76ers could not play so well.
The Raptors are now leaking overnight, after losing 2 games, Barnes is basically reimbursed for the season, plus Trent does not know that the next game can play, the situation is very bad. However, the Raptors may be in better condition after returning to the home court, at least Sebel will not be able to play in the next two games, which is a good opportunity for the Raptors, whether it can be played down depends on the team's performance after returning to the home.
