NBA preseason opening game Knicks beat 76ers, and Tanhua Edgecom almost completed the shocking dunk

The 25-26 NBA preseason officially kicked off today in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. The New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 99-84 in the first match, which is a good start for the new season.

Embid and Paul George both had high-level free cards for the 76ers in this game. Even veteran Lowry, Edgecombe, who had just completed the contract renewal, and second-year defender McCain, who was unfortunately injured, all missed the game.

The starting lineup is Maxi and Xinko Tanhuaro V.J. Edgecomb, as well as Oubre and two engineers Barlow and Bona last season.

And except for the forward player Anunobi, who is absent, almost all the main players play.

Brunson and Towns are paired with Bridges, Mitchell Robinson and sophomore forward Dadier.

Interestingly, last season's absolute main player Josh Hart sat on the bench. I wonder if this Siberdu's favorite player has fallen out of favor or whether the new coach Mike Brown has been to debug the lineup.

The two sides fought hard in the first quarter, and Maxi, on the 76ers, showed a good state and repeatedly entered the inside line to cause damage.

And rookie Edgecome is not only physically strong and tough in the face, but also obviously is a "knife guard" equipped for Maxi, with extremely active defense and conversion offense.

But the Knicks' overall strength is still better. The core Brunson did not make much effort today. Instead, McBride, who came on the bench, scored with the ball and scored continuously.

After the first quarter, the two teams tied 25-25.

Maxi scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists by himself, Edgecome scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Downs scored 7 points and 2 rebounds on the Knicks, and McBride scored 8 points and 2 rebounds.

The two teams began to warm up with the main players and substitutes in the second quarter, and it was Edgecom's turn to start the performance. He scored 7 points in this quarter. In addition to making his first three-pointer in his career, he almost completed a tomahawk dunk from blocking master Mitchell Robinson, showing amazing physical fitness.

But the strong Knicks still took the initiative on the field, and their rotation lineup was obviously more solid. They defended 76ers in the first three minutes of the first half and did not score a single point. They took advantage of the situation to open the score and led 53-43 at the end of the first half.

Knickstown contributed 11 points and 5 rebounds, Bridges scored 10 points, Bronson scored 6 points and 2 assists, and Mitchell Robinson scored 7 points and 16 rebounds.

76ers, Edgecomb scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Maxi scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Knicks' starting main players did not make their debut again in the second half, but they could still be extravagant to line up the NBA quasi-main level lineups such as Clarkson, McBride, Matthews, Yabussele, Brogden.

The 76ers, who had a huge gap in strength between the main substitutes, chose to withdraw after a slight resistance, replaced Maxi and Edgecomb, and were even more defeated. The Knicks scored 28-14 in a single quarter and completely opened the score. After the third quarter, the Knicks have led by 81-57. In the fourth quarter, the Knicks completely became a bench substitute and a test field for players who did not get a formal contract. The Knicks stopped in time to let the 76ers catch up with some scores to avoid losing too ugly.

Because Josh Hart was injured in the fight in the second quarter, both sides also maintained their control on the court, and finally defeated their opponent 99-84 in the first preseason game of the season.

The two teams will have another game tomorrow to end the NBA promotion event in Abu Dhabi this year.
