13-point reversal! The 76ers defeated the Celtics, Edgecombe set three records, and three facts were revealed in one game

The NBA regular season is in full swing. The showdown between the 76ers and the Celtics has come to an end. The two teams played a very exciting game. The 76ers, once trailing by two places, dragged the game to the decisive moment and finally seized the opportunity to complete a great comeback. In addition, the performance of No. 3 pick Edgcomb in his debut surprised the outside world. He set three records in one game. The 76ers really found a treasure. 13-point reversal! The 76ers defeated the Celtics, saw three facts clearly in one battle, and set three records for the No. 1 pick.

After the game started, Edgecombe felt hot and scored consecutive ten points to help the team take the advantage. The Celtics responded with more flowers. The two sides quickly fell into a fight and the score was tight. In the second quarter, Maxey found the offensive state. The 76ers, led by 19 points in a single quarter, took the lead. At the end of the half, they held a 6-point advantage.

In the second half, the style suddenly changed. The 76ers' offense came to a standstill, while the Celtics found their form. White hit consecutive outside shots and led the team to a 16-0 run, completing the lead. In the final quarter, the Celtics once expanded their lead to double digits, but then the power was cut off at both ends of the offense and defense. The 76ers regained their offensive status. Under the leadership of Maxey and Edgcomb, they scored 42 points in the final quarter to complete a major reversal. From being behind by as many as 13 points to narrowly defeating the Celtics by one point, they won on the road. Although it was the first show of the new season, it still showed a lot of things, especially the 76ers.

Fact 1: Embiid still needs a long recovery period. Since entering the league, Embiid's attendance rate has not been ideal and he has been troubled by injuries for a long time. Especially in the past two seasons, he only played 39 and 19 games. How he will be in the new season after a long recovery period will be the key to the 76ers' ability to achieve better results, and it is also a topic of concern to the outside world. But after watching the first show, I have to admit that Embiid still has a long time to recover from his injury. In this game, with his playing time under control, Embiid played less than 21 minutes, but was out of shape throughout the game and only hit 1 goal in 9 shots. He scored 4 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, with a plus-minus value of -16, the lowest on the team. I still hope Embiid can regain his form as soon as possible.

Fact 2: The 76ers have found a treasure, and there is a strong contender for the best rookie. With Embiid in a sluggish state, No. 3 overall pick Edgcum put in an eye-catching performance. He quickly got into form in the first quarter. In just two minutes, he scored 10 points with consecutive dunks and two three-pointers. In the first quarter, he scored 14 points, surpassing James (12 points), setting a first-quarter record for a rookie in NBA history.

Edgecomb continued his excellent touch throughout the game, hitting 13 goals in 26 shots and scoring 34 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. The most important thing is that there were only two turnovers and one foul. The game was completely different from the first game of the rookie. He also surpassed Iverson and set a new scoring record in the history of the 76ers team. At the same time, he scored 30+ points in the opening game, becoming the first rookie to achieve this achievement in the new century. If he can maintain his form, he will become a strong contender for the Rookie of the Year in the new season. The 76ers really found a treasure in this draft.

Fact 3: Barlow is expected to win a formal contract after becoming a surprise player. The 22-year-old Barlow, as the team's two-way contract player, was placed in the starting lineup in the opening game. But he seized the opportunity. He played 34 minutes in the game and hit 5 goals in 8 shots. Not only did he score 13 points efficiently, he also had 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. His performance was quite good. It must be said that he seized his own opportunity, which will be of great help to him in the fight for a formal contract of his own.

For the 76ers, from falling behind to overtaking with their outstanding performance in the final quarter, they got a good start in the away game and got a good start to the new season. Of course, the team still needs to pay attention to injuries, one is Embiid, and the other is when George can really return. Only then will the 76ers hope to achieve better results.
