On April 21, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs 76ers played against the Raptors. In the first half, Harden scored 12 points and 5 assists, and in the final moments of the half, Green lost control of eating a technical foul, and the 76ers new trio took turns to persuade him to calm down, quite a scene.
The 76ers who came to the away game were awarded two teams. Previously, the 76ers won two consecutive home games to give a 2-0 lead. In two games, the 76ers new trio Harden, Embiid and Maxi have all played well, and experts can't wait to shout out the Big Three title.
Coming to Toronto, however, the 76ers offense struggled quite. The 76ers scored just 19 points in the entire first quarter, and the team made eight turnovers in a single quarter, including embiid alone, four times.
The Raptors also built a double-digit lead. Back in the second quarter, after Siakam hit a jumper, the Raptors led by 17 points and the 76ers called out a timeout, at which point they had 11 turnovers across the team and the offense was quite bad.
Since then, Harden has finally regained some offensive feelings, but Embiid continues to be depressed. Behind the score, the 76ers players also began to be impatient.
In the final moments of the half, Green suddenly lost control of his emotions. After being whistled for a foul on Nunoby, Green was quite upset and roared at the referee. At this point, Harden was quite composed, and he quickly grabbed Green and constantly urged him to calm down. Harden understands that on the playoff stage, controlling emotions is important. It is worth mentioning that Maxi and Embiid also came to persuade Green to push him away from the referee. At halftime, though, the 76ers trailed by 10 points.
