After the game as the head coach Rivers was very excited to see Embiid and Harden behave like this, in an interview, he said: Embiid's scoring is unstoppable, he has now entered his own rhythm, as the manager, we did not deliberately let him do anything, but his performance is enough to conquer everyone, Harden is really great, the post-game training really proves his insatiable strengths, the team will next play at home to the Nets, I think the team should make a tribute video for Simmons before the game.
From Rivers' words, we can clearly feel his pride, Embiid and Harden have done his tactical arrangement well, as a manager he has been satisfied, Harden added a flight of stairs after the game, perhaps he is not satisfied with his shooting percentage, and Simmons's message is that the 76ers have not prepared a pre-game tribute video for him, as for whether the 76ers will eventually pay tribute to Simonsy, as fans we can only wait and see.
