On the morning of April 24, Beijing time, it just ended an NBA playoff game with the Eastern Raptors vs. Digital Man. Forced to the edge of the cliff, the Raptors, led by Siakam, beat the Digital Man 110-102 at home. Pulling the big score to 1:3 gave himself a glimmer of life.
Before this game, the Digital Man team led the Raptors 3:0. If the Raptors lose this game, they will be the first playoff team to be eliminated this season.
Looking at the momentum of the first three games, I thought that the digital team Harden Embied Bankersie would lead the team and win the game with a bang, who knew that the game was not a deduction, full of variables.
In the game, the Raptors' main player VanVleet strained his left hip in the second quarter, injured the court, and only played 14 minutes, which can be described as "dying before the master, and making the hero cry." The Raptors' doom is not over, perhaps in this kind of cliff-side game, rookies and young comrades are too much psychological pressure, they play poorly collectively, Barnes, who has just won the best rookie of the season, played abnormally, scoring only 6 points in 1 of 6 in the whole game, and Birch was 0 points in the whole game.
Faced with the desperate situation of "Go on" or "Go home", the team's main player retired, the rookie played abnormally, and his first three games were in a slump, he finally forced out the strongest Siakam of the season. He resolutely carried the team: he changed the slump of the first three games, dodged and moved the four sides on the inside, and scored 34 points + 8 boards + 5 assists + 1 break + 2 caps in 43 minutes.
It is under the strong leadership of Siakam, "old comrades" began to threaten, Trent, Thadys Young and other "old man chat teenage maniacs" broke out of rare vitality, this campaign, Trent cut 24 points + 3 boards + 1 assist + 2 breaks + 1 hat of the comprehensive data, Thaddis Young cut 13 points + 5 boards + 5 assists + 3 breaks + 1 hat is a good record. The Raptors were sharp in offense and actively scrambled, completing a 9:4 steals ratio, resulting in 15 turnovers on the digital team, while the Raptors themselves had only 11.
On the other hand, the biggest problem of this game is Embiid's injury problem: to know that before the start of this game, Embiid's right thumb ligament was torn, and it should have been rested, but embiid still came out with an injury in this game, and it can be clearly seen in the game that the injury obviously affected his offensive state, as the internal offensive efficiency is low, only 7 of 16, 5 mistakes.
In the absence of Embiid, Harden once again proved that he could not play a hard battle, shooting 5 of 17 from the field, relying on free throws to get 22 points + 9 assists, and there were 4 turnovers in the whole game. It can be said that it is a drag.
In the case of Embiid and Harden frequently being "taken care of" by the Raptors, Bunkesi, as the winning vane of the digital team, was also magically absent in this game, scoring 11 points + 6 boards + 6 assists on 3 of 12 shots in 40 minutes.
The digital team owner will be "locked" is the biggest factor in the loss of this game.
Faced with another 1:3, how should Rivers respond? After all, "being reversed" is not once or twice.
