The 76ers without George faced the Celtics without Tatum in the opening game of the new season
Tatum: I was offended, thank you.

Hahaha, I am a dark-skinned Azhi.

In the end, the 76ers narrowly defeated the Celtics 117-116.
This game was an ups and downs.
A large part of this ups and downs is all due to Embiid

To be honest, if Embiid hadn't been able to play, the 76ers might have won today. This is very embarrassing!

George has not fully recovered so he is missing the game. Looking at Embiid's state today, I seriously doubt that in the preseason and today's opener, it was not Embiid who felt he was completely healthy and wanted to play, but the 76ers no longer had much patience with him and did not want him to miss too many games and wanted him to play.
Embiid only played 20 minutes today. He made 1 of 9 shots, 0 of 4 3-pointers, and scored 4 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Because there are two top-paid players in the team, one is absent and the other is in poor condition, the team's tactics are focused on Maxey and rookie Edgecombe.
Maxi played 41 minutes, making 13 of 24 shots and 7 of 9 3-pointers. He scored 40 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. He scored 17 points in the second quarter.
Maxi is always so strong without Embiid and George, and this will be the case last season.
But it was difficult for Maxi to win last season. I don’t know if it’s because of Edgecombe, but it’s a little different this year.

New dual core? It's still a double gun in the backcourt. I haven't seen such a retro term in the NBA for a while.

The rookie made his debut and had unlimited firepower in the first game. It seems that after Edgecombe was selected, his performance in training and preseason games this past summer has convinced the team coach.
But based on today’s performance, we have to say that Edgecombe is worth it!
Edgecomb, the third overall pick, made 5 of 9 shots in the first quarter, 3 of 6 3-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 14 points!

What level is this?
The highest score in the first quarter of a rookie's debut in NBA history is 12 points set by James in 2003.
That is, Edgecombe suddenly broke the NBA record held by James, the strongest No. 1 pick in history.

NBA official Twitter is asking whether this is the strongest prospect selected in the history of the 76ers.

Okafor: At this time, please stop thinking of me!

Embid: What about me? Who is not a prodigy? ! So, love disappears, right?

Edgecombe’s performance was really outstanding today!
Edgecombe played for 42 minutes with little rest. He made 13 of 26 shots and 5 of 13 3-pointers. He scored 34 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal

again. Compare James, Lao James' career debut was 25 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists
Embiid was completely reimbursed for the first two seasons of his career. It was not until the third year after the draft that he made his career debut, scoring 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Another example...
Allen Iverson, the 76ers' all-time great, played 37 minutes in his career debut and scored 30 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists.
After entering the 21st century, Edgecombe was the first player to score 30+ points in his debut.
Twenty-five years have passed since the 21st century. How many rookies can the NBA select in 25 years, and Edgecombe is the only one among these players? Think about the gold content.
Not counting some draft picks that are occasionally deducted, according to 60 rookies every year, there are 1,500 rookies in the past 25 years, the only one among 1,500!

So, will Edgecombe not only become the strongest pick in team history, but also the strongest rookie in team history? !

Edgecombe really performed brilliantly when he came up.
Dunk!

Tell me who you think of in this first step of breakthrough? ! Is it Wade, or a very famous player in the history of their 76ers team? !

The speed at which I was pushing for a breakthrough was dazzling to me. It was too fast, too silky, and too smooth.

My buddy's 3 points were pretty good.

He also protected a rebound at the critical moment, and his board awareness is very good. (This ball was finally awarded as a contest)

This contest really made things difficult for Pritchard. The two dunkers in front should have felt Edgecomb's jumping ability, right? !
Edgecombe's take-off timing, speed and height were more than one and a half points better than Pritchard's.

It was the last two key free throws. It was still obvious that he was indeed a rookie. He fired both key free throws.
Look at that little expression on the free throw, he’s so nervous!

Of course, overall, Edgecombe is a defender that is very suitable for the new era of NBA. Looking forward to
