Everyone knows that the first four games of the series between the 76ers and the Knicks seem to be one-sided, but it can be said that it is quite difficult to talk about the progress of each game. Everyone has also seen the fifth game between the two sides, and the 76ers can be said to be quite tenacious, won the final victory, and took the game into the bag. 46 + 7 three-point + triple-double, Embiid's merits are offset, and the four of them have made great contributions and can straighten the guy.
If you want to talk about this game, it can also be said to be full of twists and turns. thought that the Knicks were going to advance, but because of their carelessness and wrong game strategy, they lost the game. On the other hand, Thibodeau used the main players so hard that he couldn't keep up with the fitness in the play-offs, and players like Hart even played 53 minutes. I have to say that Thibodeau's employment is ruthless, as long as you can still move, don't come down to rest.
The 76ers were able to win G5, and there are four people to be praised for, and they are also the heroes of the victory. The first is Batum. Batum, as everyone knows, is the most important rotation player in the 76ers, and he also played 33 minutes in this game. Batum scored just eight points and rebounded just eight, but he knows what he's doing when he's on the court and he'll be in the right place at the right time. Anyone who has watched the game knows that Batum is not something that the data can show.
The second is Oubre. Oubre was unremarkable, but he was able to score in some crucial rounds. Oubre had 14 points and four rebounds and hit six of his 13 shots. For Oubre, this year's playoffs are the best opportunity to check the stock. During this year's playoffs, he also played quite well, especially in the last three games, and he got considerable statistics. Next, the 76ers still want to keep hope, and Oubre will continue to play.
The third place is Harris. Harris is shooting in this series and rarely stands at the free-throw line. However, Harris shot more efficiently in this game, hitting 7 of 11 shots, scoring 19 points and grabbing 8 rebounds. As far as Harris's tactical position is concerned, he has been marginalized, and to put it bluntly, he is a blue-collar plus finishing shot. Of course, as long as Harris can ensure efficient shooting, it will still be of great help to the 76ers.
The fourth is Maxi and the biggest contributor. The 76ers can win this game, and it all depends on Maxey alone. Maxey hit 17 of 30 shots and 7 of 12 three-pointers, and the two of those seven three-pointers were worth a fortune in the final moments of the final quarter, and they were also the two shots that set him up for the highest salary. It has to be said that Maxey has really grown in the playoffs this year, and in the next few years, he will be a regular in the Eastern All-Stars, and he has left the rest of the players.
As for Embiid's side, it can be said that the merits are offset by the demerits. It's true that Embiid plays with an injury, but what we need to know is that sometimes we don't steal the show. Embiid has a triple-double and five blocks, and it is not denied that there are times when performance is key, and if Embiid can control himself a little, he will not have to play overtime. Maxi saved Embiid again and again, but it wasn't for Maxey's hard hand, and the game was over.
Now back on the 76ers home court, it looks like the 76ers are down by a big score, but the wind has changed in the series. The disadvantages of the Knicks' seven-man rotation are obvious, and the 76ers have a chance to turn the series around.
