On May 5, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. In a just-concluded Eastern Conference focus game, the 76ers lost 103-119 to the Heat on the road and trailed 0-2 in the series.
In today's game, 76ers star Harden did not perform well. In the whole game, Harden played 41 minutes and had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists on only 6 of 15 shooting, including 1 of 5 three-pointers and 4 points on 1 of 5 shooting in the second half. During the game, Harden was repeatedly caught up in the Heat's multi-person encirclement. During the game, Heat coach Spoo laid out tactics to the players on the sidelines, shouting: "We're going to build a human wall, we're going to let Harden see this human wall." ”
Harden did not play well, and the young man Maxy performed very well, scoring 34 points on 12-of-22 shooting in the whole game. In the final quarter, Maxi single-handedly scored 10 points, but still could not help the 76ers win. For Maxie's outstanding performance, James couldn't help but tweet and praise: "Maxie played xxx well!" ”
The 76ers are in poor shape, which makes people extremely concerned about Embiid's injury. According to chris Haynes, Embiid was not allowed to use the phone until yesterday because the phone emits light and he is sensitive to light. The 76ers will reassess Embiid upon their return to Philadelphia. According to the famous John Clark, Embiid's recovery from injury is progressing well, and he is likely to make a comeback in the G3 game.
According to statistics, when the lead was 2:0, the Heat's final series record was 16 wins and 0 losses. With the 76ers trailing 0-2 in playoff history, they were all eliminated with a 0-13 loss. That's why the situation is dangerous for the 76ers. According to the schedule, the third leg of the two teams will be played on May 7, and the 76ers will return to play at home.
