This season, it is normal for the Spurs to lose, but No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama produces first class statistics, especially when he is in a defensive hot spot, and then to put up incredible statistics.

After the All-Star break, the Spurs lost all three games, and the Zebras were shining brightly. In the last five games, he averaged 24 points, 11 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 5.6 blocks and 2.8 steal the game, which is similar to MVP levels.

Compared to the offense, what is even more frightening is the defensive dominance of the Zebras. In the loss to the Kings, they scored 19 points + 13 rebounds + 4 assists + 5 steals + 5 blocks ; in the loss to the Lakers, they scored 27 points + 10 rebounds + 8 assists + 5 Steals + 5 blocks; lost to Jazz, contributed 22 points + 10 rebounds + 2 assists + 1 interception + 5 hot pots. According to statistics from the official NBA website, he is the first rookie in NBA history to score 5+ points in three consecutive games in the last 32 years. The last one was Shaquille O’Neal in the 1992-93 season. In 11 games played from February to now, Wenbanyama scored 40 goals, coming first in the league, and the number of blocks was more than 10 teams, which is even more incredible.

Jazz head coach Will Hardy said after yesterday’s victory over the Spurs, “Wenban is a very good defender at the basket, so we have to keep him away from the basket as much as possible. The purpose of doing this is reducing his presence under the basket. The defensive effect. When our players attack, we can see Wenban’s defense earlier, which gives our players more time and space to react.”

“I have to understand that this is a long season and I know there are new challenges every night,” said Vunbanyama. “I think the way to be a great player is to repeat great performances.”

So far this season, Wenbanyama has shown excellent defensive abilities for the league. In the future, as their skills and offensive strength increase, the Spurs will continue to make the most of their roster, and they will also be the most anticipated team in the league.
