On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. For the Philadelphia 76ers, they suffered a huge dilemma, losing two games in a row after taking a 3-0 lead, and the situation in the entire series was reversed. Failing to win the G5 at home and coming back to Toronto the next game, the 76ers have a lot more difficulty in winning. Big Mouth Klee said: The 76ers have no chance of winning the next game, and now it's a series that will hit the 7.
The Raptors' performance in the last 2 games has been very eye-catching, which is completely different from the spirit of the first three games. Now there is another problem in front of us, Embiid's thumb injury is serious, and the state of the offensive and defensive ends has dropped greatly. Another superstar, Harden, also failed to come forward, and the performance of G4 and G5 was very sluggish. If the series does drag into a big seven, how sure are the 76ers of beating the Raptors? 76ers 3 straight losses? The Raptors are expected to drag in to grab the 7, and the Emperor is suspected of complaining about Harden, or holding out a big move.
The Raptors are expected to drag in the Rush 7
The 76ers' consecutive losses are also related to Maxi's slump. Let's look at What Maxi played in the first three games, G1 contributed 38 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, G2 contributed 23 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, and G3 had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. However, G4 only had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, shooting 33.3% from the field; G5 had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 35.7%. However, the playoffs are originally the stage for stars, and this is only the second time in Maxie's career to play the playoffs, and he cannot be expected to save the team.
Embiid and Harden are known as the "OK combination" and have to show themselves on the playoff stage and prove themselves. Embiid maintained a highly efficient output, but unfortunately suffered an injury. Harden has always been not plague or fire, and then he can't play aggressive, and the possibility of grabbing seven is extremely high!
The Emperor was suspected of complaining about Harden
When the 76ers faced a dilemma, Harden's status became a hot topic. So far, Harden has played in 5 games, averaging 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game, shooting 37.3%, shooting 37.9% from three-point range, and shooting 83.8% from free throws. Harden's ability to finish under the basket has declined badly, and he can only contribute to the three-point line. However, the playoff stage needs to play aggressive, harden's offensive style is completely out of the requirements of the playoffs, which is also the fundamental reason why the emperor complains about him.
Just today, Embiid said in an interview with reporters: "Since he came to the team this season, I have always wanted him to play more aggressively, he needs to be himself. However, this is not the work I need to do, it should be Rivers's job, and I hope they can communicate happily. From this sentence, it can be seen that the emperor is not very satisfied with Harden's offensive state, because he still has to play in the case of a torn thumb ligament for the team to win.
Old or stubborn
Rivers is the league's famous "chain king", has appeared many times in the case of a 3-1 lead by the opponent reversed, this time will be the history of the same time? Judging from the current situation, there is indeed this tendency, but Lao Li will not easily let the tragedy happen. So, in today's interview, he revealed a big move: don't worry about the mentality of the team after losing two consecutive games, we still have a block that is useless. Which gear is specific, we still need to wait and see!
Sending Ben Simmons away, the Nets have been swept out. The OK combination of Harden + Embiid, coupled with the explosive boy Maxi, 3D forward Harris, defensive champion Sable, champion veteran Danny Green, there are still many cards that Lao Li can play. The next home game in Toronto, what will be the big move of the old man?
Will the 76ers really lose 3 in a row after 3 straight wins? In the state of the Raptors, the 76ers want to win the G6 is indeed a very difficult thing, Harden must stand up to it. Otherwise, the possibility of both sides entering the grab seven still exists. Once dragged into the case of grabbing seven, a fixed victory or defeat, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses. Therefore, the next game is a life-and-death battle for the 76ers, and Harden and Embiid need to come up with the mentality of winning the championship and play with a winning heart. At the same time, the platoon of lao Li was also a decisive factor.
