On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Eastern Conference Focus, the 76ers defeated the Knicks 125-114 at home to tie the overall score at 1-2!
The game just started, Knicks player DiVincenzo was hit in the face by Lowry on a layup, and it can be clearly seen that DiVincenzo was injured in the corner of his eye, and the referee finally blew Lowry for a first-degree foul!
In the other round of the first quarter, Embiid was suspected of elbowing Knicks player Harden on the off-ball end, and the referee reviewed it for a long time, but in the end only blew Embiid for a normal foul and did not escalate it.
Also in the first quarter of the game, Embiid was whistled for a first-degree foul after pulling someone to the ground.
DiVincenzo was very dissatisfied and stepped forward to negotiate, and the two sides engaged in a war of words, and the players of both teams all got together, but fortunately the referee and staff pulled away in time, and the scene was not further expanded.
In this round, Embiid was whistled for a Grade 1 malicious foul. In this regard, the famous commentator Perkins said: "Embiid should be ejected from the game, what kind of XX action is that, he may hurt the other party!"
In the second quarter, Embiid raised his foot too high and kicked Mirotic in the crotch during a shot, and the latter looked pained. It should be noted that Embiid ate three technical fouls in the first half, and 76ers coach Nurse took an early challenge but failed.
In the second half, Anunoby pressed Maxi to the ankle during a fall, and the latter was in great pain, but fortunately it was okay, and Maxi slowly got up and was able to continue playing.
Before the end of the game, Embiid hit the opponent in the face during a defensive round, but the referee did not blow for a foul, but instead gave the Knicks a rebound foul.
In the first two games of this series, the physical confrontation between the two sides was very sufficient, and some of the referee's decisions also caused controversy, which caused the 76ers to be very dissatisfied with this, which is why the two teams played today. In today's game, the Knicks combined for 25 fouls and the 76ers had a total of 18 fouls.
As the protagonist today, Embiid is the initiator of many controversial rounds. Because of the "bad relationship" with the Knicks, the Empire State Building officially announced: Embiid is forbidden to enter!
According to the schedule, the fourth round between the two teams will be played on April 29, and the 76ers will continue to sit at home.
