Seven facts that have to be admitted:
1. Embiid was as soft as ever, shooting 12 of 29 and 2 of 9 three-pointers, scoring 34 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. The data can't reflect Embiid's damage to the team, it's very inefficient, Embiid continues to shoot a lot of three-point shots, obviously has the physical talent of a traditional center, he has to always ask for the ball at the three-point line, a center always floats outside, and the inside line is almost not played, and I don't know that I think he is a backcourt player. 10 rebounds in the half, but zero rebounds in the second half, was grabbed by Hart on the opposite side, and at the last moment, he couldn't grab a rebound, allowing the Knicks to score a few three-pointers, and the playoffs were revealed, creating the era of post-forwards.
2. Maxi tried his best, Maxi incarnated as an all-round warrior in this game, playing a team-high 44 minutes, shooting 12 of 22, 5 of 11 three-point shots, and getting a quasi-triple-double of 35 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists. Maxi tried his best, grasped the offensive organization, played well enough, scored 15 points in the last quarter, and led the team forward by himself, but he made consecutive mistakes in the last minute, was broken at the critical moment, and was buried by a hat.
3. Hart once again turned into a rebounding idiot, Hart played the whole game, scoring 21 points and 15 rebounds. Hart played the full 48 minutes, he was really an iron man, he was really hard, and Thibodeau was also really ruthless. This game is everywhere, full of enthusiasm, rebounds once again burst Embiid, and in the end, he can burst out to grab rebounds, proper physical strength, the last block and steal are too critical, too explosive.
4. Brunson continued to be inefficient, shooting 8-of-29, 1-of-6 from three-point range, with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Brunson is still very iron today, the efficiency is too low, this kind of physical condition and technical level are all strong to play superstars, the success rate is too low, the defensive intensity of the playoffs is indeed not very friendly to short players, fortunately in the last three points to save themselves, but the shooting selection is still too poor, too easy to get on the head, if you don't feel good, you should pass the ball more, do a good job of organization, and let the ball run more smoothly.
5. DiVincenzo's key performance, 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in this game. DiVincenzo is really a big heart, and the key three points show the true character of a killer, and if he has the opportunity, he will shoot. He is worthy of being the top shooter in the league, and he won't waste two three-point offensive opportunities in a row in a round, which is too hard, and the Warriors are really a loss to lose DiVincenzo.
6. Hatten played efficiently, shooting 7 of 8 and getting 14 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. Harden is positive, can grab and defend, finishing ability is also very stable, key rebounds and key blocks, Harden has made great contributions on both offensive and defensive ends, and today did everything that a center can do, a perfect blue-collar center performance.
7. The Knicks narrowly defeated the 76ers, leading the series 2-0. The Knicks narrowly beat the 76ers in two straight games at home, and there was always someone on the team who stepped up when the core player Brunson was not playing well. The 76ers' Embiid is too obsessed with outside three-pointers and is inefficient, and it will be difficult for the 76ers to win if they don't make timely adjustments. Favor the Knicks to eliminate the 76ers and advance to the second round.
