At 8:00 Beijing time on April 21, the NBA playoffs played a focus battle, and the 76ers challenged the Raptors away. At the end of the half, they temporarily trailed by double digits 46-56. At the end of the second quarter, a fierce scene occurred, the 76ers Danny Green was anxious, angrily rebuked the referee, teammates could not stop, Embiid + Harden warmly reassured.
Don't think that if you win the first two home games, you can easily cross the opponent to advance, and in the playoff stage, you must go through a hard battle, especially away from home. In this battle, the 76ers experienced this taste. They played too badly in the first quarter, making eight turnovers in a single quarter and scoring just 19 points + losing 10 points. Fortunately, the second quarter was supported, and the opponent was tied 27-27, and the momentum had begun to show signs of reversal.
As the situation changes, the emotions of the players on both sides also fluctuate, and both sides have the experience of being blown up for ordinary fouls + technical offenses. On the Raptors' side was Van Vleet, pushing down Embiid and eating the set menu. On the 76ers side is Danny Green, who also followed In VanVleet's footsteps.
What's going on with Danny Green? Danny Green was fouled during a scramble for a defensive rebound, but from the slow-motion replay, he seemed to be the one who was fouled, so he felt very wronged and the emotions came up immediately. Too excited, Green received a technical foul. In this way, it is even more inflammatory, and Green is ready to fight with the referee, but he is blocked by his teammates.
If It hadn't been for Maxi's timely obstruction, maybe Green would have rushed up. And James Harden, who has also been pushing Green to calm down and then warm his heart and comfort him by his ear, as has Embiid. Coming to the sidelines, 76ers coach Rivers also signaled Green to calm down. With the efforts of the whole team, Green finally calmed down, but this is only on the surface, I don't know if it will affect his subsequent performance in the game, wait and see.
