On April 29, the first round of the NBA playoffs, the 76ers won a big win on the road, in the G6, the 76ers defeated the Raptors by 35 points, eliminated the opponent 4-2 in the series, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Final Four, the next opponent is the Heat, the first in the regular season. The elder Rivers, Harden and Embiid led the team to withstand the pressure, and it was not easy for them to rely on the second half of the outbreak in the crucial G6 away game, win, successfully qualify, and avoid being dragged into the series into the suspenseful seven-time battle.
Before the start of this round of the series, there were many people who were not optimistic about the 76ers who finally advanced, including the well-known basketball player Su Qun, who said in his previous prediction that the 76ers would travel in the playoffs, and the series score was eliminated by the Raptors 4-2. However, it is clear that the result is inconsistent with Su Qun's prediction, the 76ers are the first team in the playoffs this season to get a match point, and after leading 3-0 and being chased for two consecutive games, they finally withstood the pressure to win.
In fact, this round of the series, more people are optimistic about the 76ers to advance, like Su Qun such a "different way" fans are not many, after all, the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs have home advantage, while the combination of Embiid and Harden is more and more tacit, plus Maxi, Danny Green, Harris and others, the overall strength of this 76ers is stronger than the Raptors. As can be seen from the initial 3-0 to G6 35-point wins, as long as the 76ers are stable, they are indeed the more active side.
At the end of this series, 76ers coach Rivers Sr. also made history, he led the team to a 35-point victory, which is the third time in the coaching career of Rivers Sr. to lead the team to a net victory of 30+ in the playoffs, tying Pat Riley and tied for the most in NBA playoff history.
After the game, The Elder Rivers was interviewed, and he praised his opponent, the Raptors, saying that it was the Raptors' excellent performance that made the 76ers better and more in place. I have to say that the emotional intelligence of the old Rivers is still very high.
Speaking about the next opponent being the Heat, who are no. 1 in the East, The Elder Rivers also looked ahead, saying: "We will face some experienced players and look forward to this challenge. ”
Finally, congratulations were also made to the 76ers to advance to the Eastern Conference Final Four, followed by the Heat, and the elder Rivers' side did not have home field advantage. Also regret for the Raptors, after winning the championship in 2019, the Raptors are in a downward spiral, but this season they have a low in the regular season and a good performance in the playoffs, which is respectable.
