The first round of the NBA playoffs is in a fierce battle, the Eastern 76ers and Raptors series has played 2 games, the 76ers have two consecutive cities at home, the big score to take a 2-0 lead, and both are big scores to win. Although the referee's blow is somewhat questionable, the result will not change, and the 76ers are close to promotion. You know, after this series was determined, the outside world was not optimistic about the 76ers, but they quickly responded with action.
In the case of not being optimistic, the 76ers did not respond to anything, but focused on preparation, showing good form in the first game, only 3 mistakes in the whole game, and did not give the Raptors more opportunities to counterattack, which is the key to their ability to win. As you can see, the 76ers have made a lot of strategic deployments, and the players are also very focused.
And in the next game, the 76ers will also come to Toronto, which is also a very crucial game. The 76ers released an injury report before the game, in which defensive champion Sable is not eligible to participate and will miss the game.
The reason for this is also very clear to you, because Sable has not been vaccinated, does not meet Toronto's epidemic prevention regulations, will not be able to travel to Toronto, and will not be eligible to participate in the competition. The lack of him also has some impact on the team, but the recent coach Rivers has gradually reduced his playing time, which is prepared for this moment. In the first 2 games, Green became the team's starter, and he also had a good performance in the last game, and also gave a one-handed split.
It has to be said that Rivers is still quite well prepared, reducing Sable's playing time in advance, and he was previously the team's starting small forward. Without Sebel, the team's defensive ability will be somewhat reduced, but other players can still make up for it, and the overall impact is not very large. As long as the 76ers can find the feel on the outside, the probability of them winning is very large.
The next game is crucial for both teams, and the Raptors are trying to win the game, and only then can the series retain suspense. But they also have trouble, the new star Barnes and Little Trent are in a state of doubt, once the two can not play, the depth of the lineup will decline again.
The 76ers, on the other hand, have to fight for victory, turn the big score into a 3-0 lead, get the game point in advance, and can't give the opponent any chance. At present, the Raptors still have no more ways to face Embiid, more can only lose fouls; Harden's side has not yet turned on the offensive mode, the two games sent 20 assists, the Raptors also need to be careful of him.
