On April 21, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs were born to kill! Embiid shot a three-point shot with 0.8 seconds before the final and only 0.9 seconds left on the offensive floor to nearly beat the Raptors. The Raptors had the last 0.8 seconds to end up with Philadelphia winning 104-101. The win was crucial for Philadelphia because of the 3-0 lead, and of the 144 teams in NBA history, no team has ever wasted such an advantage. Embiid himself was very excited, dancing wildly and celebrating.
Straight back to this crazy kill. There are about 26 seconds left in extra time, and the two sides are 101 draws. Embiid regained the ball after his possession was destroyed, but there was little time left to attack. Fortunately, coach Rivers rushed into the field to call for a timeout. After the timeout, Embiid popped up to catch the ball and hit a three-point shot directly with his open hand. The Raptors had big problems defensively, giving Embiid a shot in an almost empty position.
After Embiid hit a three-pointer, he also roared with excitement and celebrated, and stomped his feet and jumped wildly! Philadelphia teammates also flocked to Embiid to congratulate him. On the bench, the elder Rivers threw his fists excitedly, and assistant coach Cassel also celebrated passionately. Raptors home fans were very disappointed, issuing a huge lament.
I don't know if Embiid will remember the scene here after the game. In the 2019 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals, it was also in this venue that the Raptors' Leonard shot in the final moments of the Rush Seven Showdown, directly announcing Philadelphia out. At that time, Embiid was in tears, crying from the players' tunnel back to the dressing room. Time passed, and Embiid sounded the death knell of the Raptors with his own personal hit.
3-0, even pessimistic fans of Rivers should probably admit that it is only a matter of time before Philadelphia qualifies. Since the inception of the NBA, no team has ever been able to complete a 0-3 turnover in a 7-4 win series, with a probability of 0-144 losses! Therefore, it can be said that Embiid's goal killed this series. Philadelphia can now begin to look ahead to the semifinals.
