Preview of 76ers vs. Hornets: Three-goal PK against Maxey, direct dialogue between the backcourt combination
6686 Sports October 25th The NBA regular season will continue tomorrow, and the 76ers will face the Hornets at home.
The 76ers bid farewell to Yabusele and Council during the offseason and signed Watford and Jabari Walker. Edgecombe, who was selected in the draft with outstanding athletic ability, is widely optimistic.
The 76ers defeated the Celtics 117-116 in the away game in the previous game. Although Embiid, who returned to the game, only scored 4 points and 6 rebounds on 1 of 9 shots, the 76ers' backcourt duo of Maxey and new player Edgecombe performed outstandingly. Maxey scored 40 points, 6 assists, and a three-pointer. The ball made 7 of 9 shots, while Edgecombe contributed 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 of 13 three-pointers. The two directed the 76ers' crazy counterattack in the final quarter and narrowly defeated the Celtics by 1 point. Barlow had 13 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. Grimes had 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Oubre also scored 10 points.
The Hornets sent away players such as Mawei, Curry Jr., Nurkic and Okogie during the offseason, and newly signed Plumlee, Sexton and Connaughton. In the draft, they acquired two new players, Kniper and Kalkbrenner.
In the previous game, the Hornets' home team defeated the Nets 136-117. Nine of the Hornets' 10-man rotation scored in double figures. Brandon Miller scored 25 points and 7 assists, three-ball Ball had 20 points and 8 assists, Miles Bridges had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. Two new players, Knipper, had 11 points, and Kalkbrenner had 10 points and 11 rebounds.
In terms of injuries, the 76ers' Paul George, McCain and Watford continue to be absent, Justin Edwards is likely to play, and the Hornets' Gu Wei and Josh Green are also unable to play.
The Hornets ranked second from last in the Eastern Conference last season, but this season the overall combat effectiveness has been significantly improved with core players such as Ball being strong. Although the 76ers still have many important players with injury problems, Embiid's return to the game means they cannot be underestimated.
At present, it is difficult to say who has the advantage. After all, both teams have more variables than last season, and both are getting better and stronger. At present, the outcome can only depend on on-the-spot performance.
