In the second leg of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Philadelphia beat the Raptors 112-97 to take a 2-0 lead. In this game, Philadelphia center Embiid cut 31 points and 11 rebounds, completely dominating the interior. He scored 14 free throws in this campaign, more than the Raptors combined. He scored 12 free throws in the first quarter alone, which was comparable to the Raptors' free throw count.
After the game, some people questioned Embiid's receipt of so many free throws, such as Raptors coach Nas who complained that referees blew different penalties. As for these doubts from the outside world, Embiid did not understand.
In an interview, Embiid also said, "I think some people complain because they have to do that." However, none of them actually believed it was a misjudgment. If you watch video footage of the game, you'll see that every foul is a real foul. ”
In addition, Embiid also pointed out that he was able to create a large number of fouls because the Raptors made a lot of bags on him. "If you've had a three-man bag all game, that person would definitely get a free throw. I think every blow is reasonable, and maybe more. Embiid said.
Embiid averaged 33.8 minutes per game in the regular season this season and can take 11.8 free throws, a playoff figure that rose to 12.5.
