Edgecombe, the third overall pick, scored 34 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in his debut! He set a record with 14 points in the first quarter and scored 5 three-pointers in a row with dunks.

On October 23, the new NBA regular season begins in full swing. In today's Eastern Conference focus showdown, the 76ers defeated the Celtics 117-116 away from home, getting a good start to the new season.

The 76ers were able to win today because there was one person on the team who performed amazingly. He was this year's No. 3 draft pick, VJ Edgecombe. In the entire game, Edgecombe started for 42 minutes and made 13 of 26 shots, including 5 of 13 three-pointers and 3 of 6 free throws. He scored a total of 34 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and only 2 turnovers.

After the start of the first quarter, Edgecombe quickly made one of two free throws and scored his first career point. Then Edgecombe started a crazy personal performance. He first broke through the basket and dunked, and then faced a single defense and broke through again for a dunk. This is not over yet, he hit three three-pointers from 45 degrees on the left and 45 degrees on the right. In the first quarter alone, Edgecombe made 5 of 9 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers and scored 14 points and 2 assists.

It should be noted that Edgecombe scored 14 points in the first quarter of his rookie debut, which also set a first-quarter record for a rookie in NBA history! The previous record was 12 points in the first quarter of the first game held by James (local time on October 29, 2003).

In the second quarter, Edgecombe reduced his personal shots until two minutes before the end of the first half. Edgecomb used a very beautiful European step layup and scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 1 of 3 in a single quarter, helping the 76ers lead the Celtics by 6 points 57-51.

After the start of the third quarter, Edgecombe quickly succeeded in a layup, and then hit a mid-range shot, scoring 20 points in a single game. Then the 76ers were counterattacked by the Green Army. Edgecombe hit his fourth three-pointer and then performed a shocking dunk again. After three quarters, he already scored 25 points.

After re-entering the game in the final quarter, Edgecombe quickly hit another three-pointer and then succeeded in a layup. Facing the Celtics' offensive, Edgecombe made a successful throw to help the team chase points. He also completed a key ball scrimmage at the last moment of the game and made two key free throws 14.1 seconds before the end. However, 7.8 seconds before the end, Edgecombe missed two free throws. Fortunately, the Green Army missed the buzzer beater, and the 76ers finally completed the reversal and won!

Edgecomb is 20 years old and comes from Baylor University. In this year's draft, he was selected by the 76ers with the third overall pick. In the preseason, he averaged 16.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2 steals per game. Because of this, he gained Nurse's trust and started his NBA career as a starter.
