The 76ers' series with the Heat ushered in the second game, and with the same script as the previous one, the 76ers still couldn't keep up with the Heat's rhythm in the second half, allowing opponents to pull the point difference apart. The only difference is that the last game was more than 4 minutes after surrendering, this time it was less than 2 minutes before conceding defeat, and finally lost 103-119, the big score has been 0-2 behind.
Without Embiid, the strength of the 76ers has directly dropped by one level, and the inside line was originally a link that dominated the advantage, but now it is suppressed by the Heat, and it is also reasonable to lose this game. Neither Jordan Jr. nor Reid was able to protect rebounds well on the inside and better limit Abadjo, with 2 players scoring 10 points and 9 rebounds, while Adebayor had 23 points and 9 rebounds, a plus-minus +15 team-high.
In addition to the suppression of the internal line, there is another link that has been exploded, that is, the substitute. This time the bench scored 19-52 behind, of which the Heat substitute Oladipo alone scored 19 points, the last game was Giro, this time it was Oladipo's turn, anyway, someone stepped forward to get the points. On the other hand, on the 76ers side, no one has been able to stand up and provide firepower, only Cockmaz played well, got 8 points and 6 rebounds, and also hit 2 three-pointers, but it was still too few.
The 76ers scored a total of 103 points in the game, including 83 points in the starting lineup, and the trio Harden + Maxi + Harris combined to bomb 75 points, accounting for more than half of the score. This reflects the depth of the two teams' lineups, and the Heat's backcourt core Lowry is also absent, but Hiro and Oladipo stand up; in contrast, the 76ers Embiid is absent, and other players can't stand up to fill the gap.
Trailing 2-0 and the 76ers in desperate situations, Embiid was the last straw. But a record in the history of the 76ers is also a bit heartfelt, before the team has a total of 13 times 0-2 behind, the final record is 0 wins and 13 losses all out; on the contrary, the Heat side 16 times to take a 2-0 lead, 16 times all promoted, also 100%, it seems that there is no suspense.
