In the first round of the Philadelphia “76ers” Eastern Conference, the Raptors took the lead 2-0. On Tuesday night, the unit beat the opponent in the field with 112:97. After the first game of the series, Raptors head coach Nick Ners objected to the referees’ decision, revealing that Judges have not whistled several attacks on Joel Embyd.
At the end of the second game, Embīds discussed the topic with Ners, and later talked about it at a press conference. ” He’s a great coach. The nerd has achieved a lot and I have followed him. Respectfully for the coach, I told him to stop complaining about the judges’ decisions, ” Embid remembers both conversations. “I think any of the penalties were reasonable and, to be honest, there could have been more.”
” He told me he would take penalties if we continued to break the rules against him. I said you would probably have to do it, ” Ners described the conversation a little differently. ” He’s a great player. There is nothing more here than we are trying to neutralize him, but he is gaining points against us, ” the Raptors’ head coach continued, saying that the situation with Embida’s elbows had improved in this game.
Toronto had to make a substitution after two minutes. The next two games will take place in Toronto, and Philadelphia will not be able to help Matisse Taibul, who has not completed the full Covid-19 vaccination course.
