On April 19, Beijing time, the 76ers played at home against the Raptors, and the Raptors lost to the 76ers 97-112 at the end of the game. In the last game, the 76ers played the Raptors to show their dominance, so many people believe that the 76ers can still beat the Raptors in this game, but in fact, the Raptors still brought the 76ers at the beginning, but the Raptors were not able to maintain such a play, in the game Embiid is leading the team to continuously expand the lead, the fourth quarter of the game The Raptors also failed to completely reverse the situation, so the Raptors still lost the game, although the Raptors still have the opportunity to reverse this round of the series in the later games, But with the 76ers in their current state, it's very tough for the Raptors to accomplish something like this.
Embiid played an excellent performance again in this game, it can be said that Embiid's play is worth getting MVP, but Embiid once looked uncomfortable in the game, which also made fans feel some worries, after all, if Embiid suffers an injury, this will be a huge blow to the 76ers, so Embiid can not be injured here anyway. But embiid also brought good news after this game, Embiid said that he sprained his ankle during the game: my ankle twisted a little, my elbow felt uncomfortable, but I don't think there will be any big problems, wait and see what happens tomorrow.
Obviously Embiid is not a big deal here, and seeing Embiid is fine is undoubtedly good news for the 76ers, but the next game the 76ers still can't be careless, and they can only get embiid more rest if they beat the Raptors earlier. As for the Raptors losing the game is also no way to do things, first of all, the hard power of the 76ers is stronger than the Raptors, not to mention that Barnes is still injured and has no way to play, and in this game, Trent also has some situations to withdraw from the game, which makes the Raptors worse, but for losing this game, VanVleet also took the initiative to take responsibility after the game.
Trent left the game early due to illness today, and the Raptors bench scored 17 points in addition to Boucher, Thaddeus Young, Birch and Flynn scored a total of 7 points. In this regard, VanVleet said: This is not a substitute thing, I can play better myself, you can put the blame on me. It can be said that VanVleet took the initiative to take responsibility, although the performance of role players is very important, but in fact, if the Raptors want to win, they still need VanVleet and Siakam to play a good performance in the game, and the next game Raptors will return to the home game, when only the two play explosive performance, then the Raptors will have a greater hope of beating the 76ers. Harden's offensive performance in this game is still not good, and Harden has 14 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists at the end of the game.
Although Harden's offensive performance is not good, but Harden's organizational passing in the game is still good, and in view of the strength of the Raptors, Harden does not need to pick a shoulder in the game, but in this case, the two play is more important than Harden, these two are Maxi and Harris, in fact, the two performed well in the G1 game, which is also the key to the 76ers being able to win, and the two in the G2 game are more continuous, so when Harden's offense is sluggish, the 76ers can still beat the Raptors. So Harden can be depressed in the next game, but Maxie and Harris must remain in shape, otherwise the 76ers will not want to easily beat the Raptors like this, so whether Maxie and Harris can stay in shape in the next game is very critical.
