The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Miami Heat 105-104 in the 2024 SoFi NBA Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament No. 7 seed game at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on April 17, 2024.

Philadelphia, ranked seventh in the regular 토토사이트 season, beat Miami, ranked eighth, after much effort.
Philadelphia’s first-round playoff opponent is No. 2 seed New York.

Miami will play a single match against the winner of the Chicago-Atlanta match and the eighth seed.
Philadelphia’s 35-year-old veteran six-man Nicola Batum (20 points and five rebounds) saved the team in crisis with a flurry of offense and defense.

Ace Joel Embiid (23 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists), who struggled throughout the game, survived the game.
For Miami, Tyler Hiro (25 points) and Jimmy Butler (19 points) scored multiple points, but it was painful that both players, the core of the attack, suffered from a difficult fielding.

 a good defense in Philadelphia

Philadelphia got off to a good start.
Taking advantage of Miami’s unsolved attack, Embiid’s free throw score and Kyle Lowry and Maxi’s three-point shots pushed the opponent.

However, Miami has been chasing since the middle of the quarter based on its strong defense.
Philadelphia, which eventually gave up the lead, finished the first quarter 22-23.

The score gap widened in the second quarter.
Philadelphia did not use Miami’s organized defense, and Miami widened the score gap to double digits due to the performance of its bench units.

Philadelphia, which struggled by allowing Delon Wright, Tyler Hiro and Caleb Martin one after another, finished the first half 39-51.

Philadelphia upset success

Even at the beginning of the third quarter, the pattern did not change much.
Embiid, whose movement was slow, was not as influential as the regular season in both offense and defense.

It was the input of bench units that changed the mood.
Batum started with a three-point shot, and Buddy Hield also added strength with a fastball score and an outer shot.

Philadelphia followed Batum to the chin with a good shot, but Miami also responded with a three-point shot and did not back down easily.
Philadelphia, which continued to have problems with Embiid’s defense, ended the third quarter trailing 69-74.

Philadelphia, which continued to knock at the door at the beginning of the fourth quarter, succeeded in reversing.
Following Embiid’s tying 3-point shot, Batum continued his shooting power and turned the tide.

But Miami was also calm.
Hakez took the lead again after Hiro’s three-point shot put out the urgent fire.

Miami improved its accuracy at a critical time when Hiro, who suffered from a fielding struggle throughout the game, was in trouble.
In Philadelphia, which was continuing its thin ice match, ace Embiid woke up to the match.

Following a three-point shot in the reverse, he made a good trend by getting an AND-one play inside.
Philadelphia, which was doggedly chased by Miami, did not give up its advantage by scoring under the basket until Ubre.

Since then, Philadelphia, which has been on defense, has come close to winning as Batum blocked Hiro’s 3-point shot with a block shot.
Miami also did not give up easily, but Philadelphia succeeded in making free throws from fouls to solidify its victory.

The European Football Confederation (UEFA) excused Lee Kang-in (23) from the expected selection of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) against Barcelona.
Paris Saint-Germain will play away against Barcelona in the second leg of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals at the Olympic Ryu’s Companis in Barcelona, Spain, on the 17th (Korea time).

Paris Saint-Germain, which lost its first home game 2-3 to reach the semifinals only when it wins by more than two goals.
UEFA excluded Lee Kang-in in anticipation of the starting roster for Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona ahead of the game.

At first, Lee Kang-in was included in the lineup, but it was modified to Warren Zaire-Emeri.
In the midfield where Lee Kang-in disappeared, Jair-Emery, Vitinha, and Fabian Lewis were predicted.

As expected, Lee Kang-in is likely to step on the ground as a substitute in the second half.
Lee Kang-in started the first game against Barcelona.

It was located on the right side of the second line and was assigned the task of connecting the airlift.
Lee Kang-in, who took a wide range of movements, also made intermittent attempts to shoot.

The shot he showed in collaboration with Kylian Mbappe was sharp, but he was blocked by goalkeeper Andre Ter Stegen and swallowed his regret.
While Lee Kang-in was on the ground, Paris Saint-Germain maintained its lead over Barcelona.

He was taken away by conceding the first goal to Hafinya, but at the start of the second half he managed to turn the game around with Usman Dembele’s equaliser and Vitinya’s subsequent come-from-behind goal.
In the process, Lee Kang-in served as a turning point.

Lee Kang-in, who caught the ball from the side, quickly delivered it to Lewis, and the attack began and Vitinha finished.

Paris Saint-Germain Lee Kang-in and Jair-Emery are added

However, Paris Saint-Germain excluded Lee Kang-in and put Jair-Emery in the 15th minute of the second half, and as soon as this replacement was implemented, they lost a point.
Paris Saint-Germain collapsed in a tense match after conceding the equalizer to Andreas Christensen.

It wasn’t bad on the 토토사이트 record.
Soccer statistics company “Sofascore” praised Lee Kang-in with 7.2 points.

It is the fourth highest rating among Paris Saint-Germain players after Vitinha, Dembele and Mendes.
Lee Kang-in showed a pass success rate of 94% (32/34) with 48 touches in 61 minutes, and a key pass also recorded three times.

Local public opinion Lee Kang-in criticized

Local public opinion was different.
Eric Ravesandrata, who played for Paris Saint-Germain for four years from 1997, criticized, “Lee Kang-in’s presence was very questionable.”

He argued that Lee Kang-in’s selection as a starter was wrong as a result.
Le Coutidien Do Sport also said, “Lee Kang-in never played on his side.

Tried a useless combination play with my colleagues.
Jair-Emery was put in on behalf of Lee Kang-in, and he proved to manager Enrique that he was the right player for such a game,” he said negatively.

Paris Saint-Germain’s loss came when Lee Kang-in was not on the ground, but criticism was harsh.
Rumors of Lee Kang-in’s release erupted ahead of Barcelona’s away match.

On April 13, 2024, Italian media outlet “Il Martino” said, “Paris Saint-Germain is looking to sign Victor Osimhen.
I’m going to sell players in order to lower the transfer fee for Osimhen.

This includes Lee Kang-in, Carles Soler, and Marco Asensio.
Paris Saint-Germain is open to negotiations with Naples,” he said in a shocking report.

As the atmosphere formed that Lee Kang-in could be a victim of Paris Saint-Germain’s striker reinforcement, the starting position became unstable immediately.
Paris Saint-Germain, who lost the first game 2-3 to Barcelona, has to put his life and death on the road in the second game, and multiple media are predicting Lee Kang-in’s start on the bench.

Excluded from the selection of Lee Kang-in of Husscored.com

Lee Kang-in recommended Vitinha, Manuel Ugarte, and Warren Zaire-Emeri to the midfield, which Lee Kang-in was in charge of in the first game.
The PSG Post, which mainly delivers news from Paris Saint-Germain, also said, “Three changes are needed to beat Barcelona.

In the midfield, Jair-Emery and Ugarte should come out.
Lee Kang-in, Vitinha, and Lewis did not work very well in the first game.

All of them, including Lee Kang-in, failed to provide an answer,” he said.
The French version of “90min” also excluded Lee Kang-in in anticipation of Paris Saint-Germain’s selection.

As it is an away game, a more defensive posture is needed, so Vitinha and Jair-Emeri are expected to form a double bolante.
Therefore, UEFA also expected Lee Kang-in’s selection at first, but changed it to Jair-Emery.

Until now, Paris Saint-Germain’s lineup has not been easy to predict.
Even in the first leg, where Lee Kang-in played as a starter, the French media predicted the location incorrectly.

Most predicted that Lee Kang-in would play as a wing forward for the three-top, but he was actually a second-term midfielder.
Even now, I can’t be sure of Lee Kang-in’s start on the bench.

Lee Kang-in also arrived in Barcelona wearing glasses and looking bright, showing that he was not shaken by public opinion.
