Maxi scored 43+8, and Edgcomb, the top prospect, deserves more praise for breaking Iverson's record! The remaining 76ers started the season with three consecutive victories to maintain their unbeaten status. Embiid and George are absent again and they should recognize the reality.

The 76ers won 3 consecutive victories

The NBA regular season competition continues. After defeating the Celtics and Hornets in the first two games to win 2 consecutive games, the 76ers will face the Magic, another powerful team in the Eastern Conference, in the third game of the season.

Due to injury management, Embiid missed this matchup, and George, who also had a maximum salary contract, also continued to miss due to injury. Under this situation, the 76ers defeated the Magic 136-124 and won three consecutive games to start the season. The last time the team achieved such a performance dates back to the 19-20 season.

The reason why the 76ers started so strongly has nothing to do with Embiid and George, two players with max-salary contracts, but Maxey's continuous explosion of 43+8. At the same time, super prospect Edgecombe's magical performance deserves more praise than him. He broke Iverson's record in this game. Embiid and George, who are frequently absent due to injuries, should recognize the reality.

Maxi scored 43+8

In the absence of Embiid and George, Maxi once again played the role of the boss and proved that he is more trustworthy with his impressive performance.

Faced with the Magic's targeted defensive strategy throughout the game, Maxi scored 43 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. Not only did he help the 76ers establish an early advantage to suppress the Magic, he also faced the Magic's counterattack at the decisive moment. He scored 7 points in a row and performed unreasonably to lead the team to withstand the counterattack and preserve the victory.

This is also the second time this season that Maxi has scored 40+ points in a single game. Maxi also scored 40 points in his debut. In the three games since the start of the season, Maxi has averaged 37 points per game and leads the Eastern Conference scoring list. At the same time, he can also send out 7.7 assists to connect the team, which is quite a boss.

Super No. 1 player broke record

It would not be too surprising to say that Maxi's impressive performance is the result of accumulated experience. After all, in the past few seasons, Maxi has shouldered too much when Embiid and George were frequently injured.

The continuous outburst of the new prospect Edgecombe proves his absolute talent. After scoring 34 points in his debut, he scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 shot in this game.

Compared with Maxey's offensive-oriented characteristics, Edgecombe is more in line with superstar standards for both offense and defense. His explosive physical fitness allowed him to catch up with the Magic core Benqueiro for a layup within easy reach at the decisive moment. He was quite similar to the style of the little emperor James back then.

What is even more praiseworthy is that, as a rookie player, Edgecomb showed no discomfort or stage fright on the court. There was no rush on both ends of the offense and defense, and he showed his ease and ease.

Especially at the critical moment of the game, Edgecombe seized almost every scoring opportunity when he was relatively short of the ball, and at the same time, he was everywhere on the defensive end.

This is also the epitome of his overall performance since the start of the season. He averaged 25 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and shot 50% from the field and 40% from the three-point range. He did not look like a rookie at all.

With this performance, Edgecombe successfully broke Iverson's record, scoring 75 points in the first three games, surpassing Iverson to become second in the history of the 76ers, second only to Stackhouse's 76 points.

Faced with the miraculous performance of Maxey and Edgecombe, several American media, including NBA officials and ESPN, could not help but publish their data and lament the miraculous performance of the backcourt duo since the start of the game.

Embiid should recognize the reality

Maxey's continued strength and Edgecombe's sudden emergence have forced Embiid and George to recognize the reality. The 76ers are no longer a team they absolutely control. If they want the core position and the right to speak, then go on the court and get the ball to speak.

Especially for the arrogant Embiid, after his rebound performance in the previous game, he quickly publicly stated after the game that if there was a time limit and he had to take a break every 2 or 3 minutes, it would be meaningless to him, and he might as well go home early to spend time with his family.

Facts have proved that the 76ers still won a tough battle without Embiid. If Embiid cannot recognize the reality and change his mentality, sending him away through a trade will be a better choice.

This is especially true for George who has been absent for a long time. According to the famous reporter Jake Fischer, George is not expected to return until a certain point in November.

Instead of placing hope on these two people, it is better to completely switch to betting on Maxey and Edgecombe, so that they can have a greater role and voice.
