With Embiid's three-point kill, the series results of the 76ers and Raptors came to 3-0, no team in history was overturned in a 3-0 lead, although Rivers' coaching career has been reversed many times, but from the perspective of absolute strength, the Raptors' death sentence has been pronounced, but the 76ers can not be careless, this season Harden is trapped in hamstring injuries, after having enough rest will usher in the best state, the 76ers need to end the series as soon as possible, give him more time to adjust the state, ready for the next round.
Back at home of the Raptors, let the 76ers feel the horror of the home whistle, the team will be interrupted by the referee's whistle every time it starts, many times was judged to be an offensive foul, the opponent flew to kick Harden's offensive foul but was changed to a defensive foul, a small move at a critical moment directly sent Harden 6 off, Embiid's wonderful cover was also blown defensive foul, the referee really tried his best, but the 76ers played the resilience of the championship team, the second quarter just began to fall behind by 17 points, before the end of the first half, due to dissatisfaction with the penalty, Veteran Green angrily sprayed referees to boost the morale of the team and became a turning point in the game, and the 76ers won back 9 points in the third quarter and finally achieved a turnaround.
Green shot 3 of 8 in the whole game, contributed 9 points and 7 boards, plus or minus +10 the highest in the team, Green is the kind of player who has average data, but can always do the most correct thing on the field, has followed GDP, Leonard and James three times to win the championship, in these three championship journeys, Green played all 68 starts, absolutely called the best knife guard around the superstar, after three games in the first round of this year's playoffs, when Green was on the field, the team's defensive efficiency was as high as 98 (98 points per 100 rounds) the first place in the team. And when Green is not on the floor, the team's defensive efficiency is only 141, the whole team is second only to Harris, which is green's role.
Green is a 34-year-old veteran, in fact, this season he has retired to the bench in the regular season, the team's starting small forward is Sable, but because Sable is not vaccinated and can not play in the Raptors' home game, Rivers can only be forced to adjust the lineup to let Green start in a few games before the start of the playoffs, but he did not expect to be blessed, Although Green is not young and energetic, but he plays really stable, rarely loses position and blind steals in defense, which is the most important part of the team's defensive system.
The playoffs are different from the regular season, in the case of the need to defeat the same opponent 4 games to qualify, the head coach will have a lot of room for adjustment, as long as the players on the field have any weaknesses will be infinitely targeted, which is why in the playoffs, the team's rotation will be shorter and shorter, the 76ers' current lineup, Sebel's outside projection is a short board, the defense of other forward substitutes is a weakness, only Green is the most balanced, almost no opponent is willing to target him, I believe that if the team successfully breaks through the first round, Green will also be the team's starting small forward, he has won 3 championship rings, I don't know if he will get a fourth this year? Let's wait and see!
