After the NBA League adopted a seven-game best-of-four system in the playoffs, it is undoubtedly very humiliating to be reversed by the opponent in the case of a 3-1 lead in the big score, and the current head coach of the 76ers, Rivers, is a personal experience of many series tragedies, and they are all "victims", the Clippers who fought for the title from the West that year were overshadowed, it is precisely because of the 3-1 lead of the Nuggets in the playoffs, eliminated by the opponent's three consecutive games, the 76ers coached by Rivers this season, Faced with such a situation again, after the last defeat to Toronto, the 76ers led the Raptors 3-1, returned to their home court to end the series suspense, became their only goal, but after the game began, the away Raptors became the better performer, maintained the lead for a long time, and finally relied on the huge advantage of the second team, defeated the 76ers 103-88, and pulled the series big score to 3-2, and Rivers' performance time came. Become the ridicule of many fans after the game!
The Emperor did his best to bring the wilted Harden
For the 76ers, the biggest hidden danger is Embiid's right thumb ligament tear injury, as the scoring king of the new branch, the emperor in this game, obviously affected by the injury, the dominance is far from the expectations of the outside world, but still with injuries, cut 20 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, which is also the reason why the 76ers have not been able to let the opponent extend the lead enough to kill suspense.
But harden, who should have carried the team's offensive banner after Embiid's injury, in this game, once again disappointed the fans, the whole game Harden's personal offensive desire is not strong, and the efficiency is not high, in the 39.4 minutes of his play, 11 shots hit 4 goals, only got 15 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, but also had the team's highest 5 mistakes, the dual-core performance did not meet expectations, resulting in the 76ers suffered the first home defeat in the playoffs this season.
The Remnant Raptors, relying on the second lineup to win the away game
The away Raptors, this battle because of the core guard VanVleet's injury, resulting in them can only cope with the residual, as the team's first core siakam, in the life and death battle proved its value, not only with teammates in the inner defensive end of the very good limit of the emperor Embiid play, but also the offensive end also showed their all-round, a person contributed 23 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists of the quasi-triple-double data.
Under the leadership of Siakam, the Raptors had a total of 5 players scored double digits in this game, of which the excellent performance of the substitute players became their key to victory, and the Raptors bench players scored a total of 29 points in the whole game, while the 76ers' second team scored only 11 points in the game!
In the history of the NBA, there has never been a situation where the 0-3 lag has been reversed, and now the 76ers have won two consecutive games by the opponent after three consecutive wins, the next game will be crucial, if the Raptors forcibly drag the game into the seven-game game, the 76ers players will inevitably bear huge psychological pressure, and it is likely to collapse!
