11月3日，据24直播网报道，ESPN资深记者Brian Windhorst与Tim MacMahon在《The Hoop Collective》的播客中深入探讨了费城76人队本赛季的卓越表现，特别是他们在比赛关键时刻的卓越发挥。
The 76ers have established a robust record of 6 wins and 1 loss, with each victory secured in the heat of battle. A closer examination reveals that their triumphs in closely fought matches are attributed to their exceptional roster. However, in their contest against the Hornets, both James and Embiid were absent. One of their key strengths lies in their minimal error rate; they currently hold the record for the fewest turnovers in the league, and their defense is equally formidable. Despite ongoing adjustments in the center position, the team has managed to maintain this high level of performance.
通常，球队若吸纳了众多新成员，特别是几位顶级球星，在决定性的较量中往往难以发挥出顶尖水平，这是因为建立团队间的默契需要一段过程。再者，这类球队往往容易出现较多失误，毕竟球员们仍在适应彼此。然而，费城76人队却彻底颠覆了这一普遍看法，他们在关键时刻的表现令人印象深刻。我查阅了他们的净效率数据，但鉴于他们仅参与了19分钟的关键时刻比赛，我不愿对此做过多的解读。然而，在这短短的19分钟内，他们的净效率值高达+34，累计净胜对手22分。
自然，样本规模有限。向篮球数据分析师咨询，他们可能会指出，赛季初期的关键胜利并不必然预示着球队将长期保持领先地位。我原本预期费城76人队的开局可能遭遇挑战，鉴于球队中众多球员习惯于控球。究竟谁应享有更高的进攻权？他们如何培养团队配合？这些问题亟待解决。然而，无论如何，6胜1负的战绩就是6胜1负的战绩。
