The NBA regular season is still in full swing, and the 76ers are not in good form after Embiid's injury, winning only three of their first 11 games and slipping to fifth place in the East.
Facing the Hornets at home today is quite a challenge. However, young player Maxey stepped up to lead the team to a narrow 121-114 victory over the Hornets and cemented the team's standings.
What's even more amazing is that Maxey not only won the game, but also set an NBA all-time record, and it's no wonder that he resolutely turned down the 1An attractive contract of 900 million.
The Hornets have also been impressive, with six players scoring in double figures. Martin contributed 12 points and 4 rebounds, while Bridges exploded, hitting 5 three-pointers and scoring 27 points + 11 rebounds to achieve a double performance.
Center Richards was extremely efficient, finishing with 19 points and four rebounds. Micic contributed 13 points and seven assists off the bench, while new signing Gervais also had 13 points and two rebounds. With 14 points and 2 assists, Bertans couldn't stop the 76ers despite his all-out defense.
Relatively speaking, for the 76ers, the main player Embiid was out due to injury, but the bench players performed well. The newcomer Lowry had an eye-catching performance, shooting 5-of-9 and contributing 15 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists across the board.
Hield contributed 13 points and three assists, while Bamba had a relatively lackluster performance with only two points and eight rebounds. Harris, the team's big name, stepped up and scored 31 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block on 13-of-19 shooting.
Bench player Reed also played well, contributing 11 points and eight rebounds. In the end, despite the Hornets' all-out defense, they were still outnumbered by the 76ers.
In the absence of the Emperor, the leader of the team was the young Maxi. He played 39 minutes and scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 11-of-29 shooting.
Especially for three-point shooting, he made 10 shots and hit 5 times, and his accuracy was slightly lacking, but his plus/minus was as high as +19, and he showed his ability to lead the team to win as soon as he got on the court.
After this game, Maxey set a milestone and became the first player in NBA history to score at least 33 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 three-pointers in a single game without turnovers. Although there have been many superstars who have played similar statistics before, Maxey is the only one who has not made mistakes, which shows how strong he is.
As a super-rookie, this is Maxey's contract year. Previously, the 76ers wanted to renew his contract early, giving him a five-year 1A huge contract of 900 million.
But Maxi refused without hesitation, and many fans felt that he was a little floating at the time. But in fact, Maxi does have such confidence.
He has played 54 games this year and is averaging 26 per game1 point 38 rebounds and 6With an astonishing statistic of 3 assists, a shooting rate of 45% and a three-point shooting rate of 38%, he was successfully selected into the All-Star team with his outstanding performance.
The 24-year-old Maxey has the potential to become a superstar, especially after Harden's departure, where he has become the absolute heart of the backcourt. He wants a five-year, $200 million contract or more, which is also very reasonable.
