Philadelphia s Big Three debuts on Media Day! Emperor George boldly refutes to reverse the decline, and the whole team praises Edgecoum

Basketball

On September 27, there is less than a month left before the start of the NBA regular season in the new season. The Sixers held a new season media day event earlier today, with the team's three major stars Embiid, George and Maxi all attended. They summarized the lessons of last season's failure and gave outlook for the new season.

Embid - The physical condition is better than last year, and I will do whatever it takes to win in the new season!

Embid's physical condition is undoubtedly the topic of concern to everyone. Embiid said that his knees are feeling good, the team and he are returning to the court as planned, he said that progress has been made and he is in better form than this time last year. Speaking of how to deal with injuries this season, he said: "It's just that we need to listen to our physical reactions. To be honest, no one can predict the future. We just need to walk on the right path and continue to persevere. If there is a problem during the period, it doesn't matter. Focus on solving the problem and then continue to move forward. This is my mentality."

Embid only played 19 games last season due to a left knee injury, and averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.9 caps per game. Embiid did not give a clear return schedule, saying that he would observe and do various preparations every day, and also said that he felt good now. Embiid said: "It doesn't mean there must be an expectation... The goal is to be able to continue playing games, not like last season."

When asked if you would change your playing style for health, Embiid said: "It's hard, I thought about it, but sometimes you lose your mind in the game. From the beginning of playing, I knew you had to play hard, and it was the same on both sides of the offense and defense. My mentality was to win at all costs. I wouldn't be a player who saves energy on one end of the court, and I don't think that would happen."

George - I'm still Paul George before, and I still have a lot of potential.

Like Embiid, George's health problems are enough to bother the team. George said that last season he always felt that he had not been able to completely get rid of injuries due to health issues. George said: "I feel that I am getting better and better in the health level. The next few weeks are very critical because I need to prepare for the new season and the opening game. I do think I am expected to adjust to my ideal state as soon as possible in terms of health, the better the better."

Speaking of the continuous testing of the knee, George said: "As I gradually increase the intensity of my training, the swelling of the knee has been fading. I think this is the best news I can get right now. I am getting better and better, and I feel stronger and stronger. I am in a much better state than the same period last year."

George underwent left knee arthroscopy on July 14 local time. 76ers reporter Tony Jones said George is not expected to participate in training early in the training camp. George also mentioned that there is currently no clear schedule for return to medical licenses, but almost all training can be participated in except for full confrontation training. At the same time, George also expressed his ambition: "I am still the Paul George signed by the Sixers. I think I still have great potential and can play at a high level. I am still me."

Maxi - will show leadership in the new season

Maxi - one of the few players to praise last season. He said of the dilemma of last season: "I have never experienced such a trough of failure in my career. That experience was beneficial to me, and it allowed me to grow into a better leader. We definitely planned to do better this year, and we have made great efforts to become stronger. I think what I want to do most now is to establish a clear set of standards for the team. Simply put, no matter every night, no matter when the audience turns on the TV and sees us, no matter which stadium we step on— What you see is always a consistent team."

In addition, the team selected Edgecombe this summer, and Embiid praised: "I admire him very much. Obviously, I have talked to him many times. He always reminds me of myself when I was young, who also came from other countries, and had experienced many difficulties and difficulties during my growth. He is a very outstanding young man."

Maxi also praised him: "Edgecombe is a very talented player. I think he has a trait that many players actually don't have, that is, he can do his best on both offense and defense."

In last season, the 76ers only won 24 wins and 58 losses, ranking 13th in the East. Can they regain their momentum in the new season and return to the championship ranks? Everyone is welcome to give your predictions in the comment section.
