11月3日，据24直播网报道，ESPN知名记者Brian Windhorst与Tim MacMahon在《The Hoop Collective》播客中，对费城76人队本赛季的良好开局和在关键时刻的卓越表现进行了深入讨论。
The 76ers have achieved a remarkable 6-1 record, securing all their victories in decisive moments. Upon closer examination of their success in these tense contests, it becomes evident that they boast an exceptional roster. However, during the clash with the Hornets, both James and Embiid were absent from the court. Despite this, one of their significant strengths lies in their minimal errors, as 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 level of excellence.
通常，一支新兵强将云集的队伍，特别是一旦吸纳了众多球星加盟的队伍，在决定性的较量中往往难以展现出卓越的竞技水平，这是因为团队间的默契尚需时日来磨炼。再者，此类球队在比赛中常犯错误，主要由于球员间的磨合尚处于初级阶段。然而，费城76人队却彻底颠覆了这一传统观念，他们在关键时刻的发挥尤为抢眼。我查阅了他们的净效率数据，但截至目前，他们仅在关键时刻出战了19分钟，因此我并不打算对此做过多的分析。然而，在这短暂的19分钟内，他们的净效率值高达+34，累计净胜分达22分。
显然，样本规模相对有限。咨询篮球数据分析师，他们可能会指出，赛季初期的关键比赛胜利并不保证球队将长期保持领先地位。我曾料想费城76人队的起步可能不会太过顺利，鉴于球队中众多球员习惯于控球。究竟谁应当占据进攻核心？他们如何培养团队协作？这些问题亟待解决。然而，不论如何，6胜1负的成绩单便是6胜1负的成绩单。
