The first round of the NBA playoffs is nearing its end, with three teams in the East already advancing, namely the Celtics, Heat and Bucks, leaving only 76ers and raptors to be determined, and the 76ers are currently leading 3-2. The two teams will become a focus battle in G6, with the 76ers updating the injury report before the game, Embiid still playing with an injury, and Hulker Sebel is not eligible to play.
After the first round of G3, Embiid suffered an injury to his right finger and THE MRI results showed a torn ligament that required surgery to recover. Keembid doesn't plan to undergo surgery immediately, he wants to wait until the end of the season, and the next game will be played with an injury. Perhaps affected by injuries, Embiid has not been very strong in the last 2 games, or some adjustments need to be made. Embiid has had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 20 points and 11 rebounds in the past two games, and he can average 30.6 points and 11.7 rebounds per game in the regular season.
Embiid continues to play with injuries, while team toughster Sable will miss the game. Since he was not vaccinated, ineligible to enter Toronto, did not travel with the team, and had to stay in Philadelphia to cheer on his teammates. In the raptors' first 2 home games, Sebel also did not play, fortunately, the team has made adjustments, veteran Green into the starting, which also makes his absence has not had a great impact on the team.
The pressure on the 76ers is still not small, the original big score 3-0 lead, now become 3-2, the Raptors really have no pressure to speak of, it is completely a let go. You know, in the history of the NBA, there has not been a 3-0 lead, but in the end it was reversed. In this playoff, the Warriors led the Nuggets 3-0 to advance 4-1; the Celtics led the Nets 3-0 and eventually swept the promotion 4-0. Before the G6 game, 76ers star Harden was also the focus of attention, and the team star Iverson directly called him.
Iverson said of Harden on takeoff, "We need that explosive Harden, and I hear people say he's not a man, but I know he still has killer instincts." ”
In addition to Iverson, embiid also wanted Harden to play more aggressively after the G5 loss. For now, the 76ers do need a Rockets-era Harden to carry the team when Embiid is injured. But Harden is soft every time he comes to a critical moment, I really hope that he can usher in the outbreak in the G6 competition, can lead the team to advance, can also prove himself, let's look forward to it together.
