PHILADELPHIA (AP)—The 76ers reached the playoffs with only 34 games of fantastic basketball. Stretch that fun and fast-breaking style over a full season and Philadelphia believes it can run all the way to the top of the Eastern Conference. The Sixers’ expectations have gone from draft lottery and rebuilding to a winning record and capturing a playoff series or two. “They’re a little higher than they were last year,” coach Maurice Cheeks said Friday. “We showed that we can do it. We showed we can go out and play not only exciting basketball, but we showed we can compete with some of the best teams in the league.” Even with the 76ers’ Game 6 series-ending loss to Detroit over before the game’s first timeout, they don’t consider this season anything but a huge success. Preseason predictions had Philadelphia at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, Cheeks was on the hot seat in the final year of his contract, and guard Andre Iguodala was questioned for rejecting a nearly $60 million extension. 文章太长了只节录了一段 而且小弟英文程度颇差 麻烦各位自行阅读罗 网址: http://0rz.tw/8e45B --
