Eight facts that have to be admitted:
1. Embiid reproduced his MVP demeanor, playing 40 minutes, shooting 13-of-19 from the field, 5-of-7 from three-point range, 19-of-21 from the free-throw line, and slashing 50 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Embiid is completely crazy today, he stood up to save the team when the team was 0-2 down, and he felt hot today, with three points, mid-range shooting, and interior killing, full of aggression, completely dominating the game, healthy Embiid is the top three in the league, and the 76ers want to break through the first round or go further, and Embiid needs to play such dominance.
2. Maxey played steadily, shooting 9 of 21 and 3 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 25 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. Maxi is getting stronger and stronger, he is really a treasure player, full of energy, he can still play when he is pressed by the ankle, he is really tough, he is the outside core of Philadelphia, he is invincible when he rushes, and he is worthy of being a Philadelphia supercar, the real future of the 76ers.
3. Lowry can still play, shooting 3 of 5 and getting 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. The 38-year-old Lowry still has gas in the tank, and he can still play in the playoffs at this age, the old steel cannon is really powerful, and the rich Lowry in the playoffs is trustworthy at critical moments.
4. Brunson tried his best, Brunson was in good shape today, scoring 39 points and 13 assists. The overall performance is good, much better than the first two games, but in the last three minutes, when chasing points, he didn't shoot three points but made a foul, a little bit didn't understand, and the two mistakes at the last critical moment were too fatal, the Knicks had to start Brunson, Randle was not only Brunson who could handle the ball, he was too tired to play, and he shouldered the whole team alone.
5. Hart continued to output steadily, playing 43 minutes and scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Hart is the most fierce Knicks, and the three points in the playoffs are also very stable, with three points in 4 of 8 shots in this game, Hart has full game time and unlimited physical strength, he is really an iron man, he is the barometer of the Knicks, and every penny he takes is hard-earned money.
6. Anunoby played efficiently, shooting 7-of-11 and 3-of-4 from three-point range, scoring 17 points and 4 rebounds. Anunoby's three-point hand is hot, he feels like he wants to score when he shoots, and he hits 3 three-pointers in a row is too handsome, and the performance of offense and defense should be played more for him, and in the end he really has no ball, and the whole court turns back and runs, and the Knicks need him to stand up and attack more, don't just defend.
7. Hatten played very tough, playing 25 minutes and scoring 14 points and 4 rebounds. The small toss is still steady, the near-basket toss is too stable, the play is very active and tough, the dunk was slapped in the face, and he immediately went to grab the ball again, and he didn't cover his face, but unfortunately the referee was too scene-stealing, and Zhou Qi competed for a reason.
8. Embiid slashed 50 points to lead the team back to a city, and Embiid's 50 points in a single playoff game also made him the first person in the history of the 76ers after Allen Iverson. The 76ers trailed the Knicks 1-2 in the series. Although the Knicks are second in the East and the 76ers are seventh in the East, the two teams have only narrowly beaten each other in these three games in the playoffs, indicating that the strength is close, and the two teams are likely to play seven games.
