Worst Wenbanyama is once again humiliated by his generational rival.

Victor Wenbanyama At the end of a miserable night, he finally had some time for himself.on my first date with him Chet Holmgren The divine, slender American giant, the unicorn of the Americas, the French player blocked opposing players and stole the ball. But until that moment of glory, it was just a prelude to the finishing touches. Isiah JoeThe longer he was alive, the more mischievous he was, and when he stole his wallet, the Frenchman fell to the floor. He had already lost 111-73 and it was time to compose himself, so he returned to the bench with five minutes left and, feeling helpless not to play, the Thunder made the final adjustments to the Spurs (123-7). 87) I thought about it carefully.

Before the game, in Wenby’s memory, he was barely 8 points Holmgren, who went 4-of-15 from the field, 14 rebounds, and 2 assists, but committed four turnovers, is remembered for his worst performance, as Brian Windhorst explains: was. ESPN, Ever since we lost in the final U-19 World Cup 2021 vs. USA (83-81). With 2 minutes and 42 seconds remaining, the bench member left the game and was eliminated due to a foul.

Just like back then, the No. 1 draft pick left the bank early, and memories of the player drafted as a generational rival will continue to be negative. 2022 Draft 2nd place We just declared our first individual and collective crisis in the NBA. san antonio spurs This season, they lost six games in a row and failed to qualify. It was their third win in a week, following wins against the Pacers (152-111) and Knicks (126-105).

But Holmgren was just as chaotic as Wenby, posting nine points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two turnovers on TC 3/10, making it a give-and-take between the two. supporting cast It is not a direct confrontation between the two, but a confrontation between geniuses that transcend generations. And today, while Chet Holmgren has teams to envy, Victor Wenbanyama’s team is a piece of cake.

There is a reason why this Frenchman is jealous of Americans.Despite the altruist’s proficiency, the team doesn’t even know how to pass the ball right now, looking for someone they can rely on and losing sight of it. greg popovich -24 assists and 24 losses-, Holmgren becomes obsessed with looking at what surrounds him because of how much good he has. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander What if Josh Giddy is sweet -28 points-, traded up to -18-, has two huge defenders like Luguentz Dorz and Jaylen Williams in his starting quintet, and has knowledge like a EuroLeague MVP? What happens if there is Vasilije Micic.set of mark daigneault We had about half of it resolved by the break (58-48).

Despite losses like Keldon Johnson and Tre Jones, no player in San Antonio reached 15 points, with Julien Champagne and Zach Collins having 13 points and 12 points for San Antonio. Devin Vassell Another justification for why the Texans have the second-worst offense in the NBA with a 106 offensive rating is Malachi Branum’s 11 points. Despite Pops’ unyielding philosophy of passing and passing, the Spurs cannot mitigate the team’s offensive power. offensive collapse That catches Wenby.

When San Antonio found the Frenchman, he didn’t know how to find him. Even if the individual duels were difficult, he played directly for him, so his rivals quickly guessed his intentions. mismatch original auto Nanterre 92, Asbel and Metropolitans 92. In a telling sign of Oklahoma’s sufficiency, the Thunder abandoned assigning Wenby’s brand to Holmgren for most of the game, stacking him with Jaylen Williams and Kenrich Williams, or perfecting him if individual defensemen aren’t good enough. and gave synchronized help.

neither is he interval Spurs players are best at keeping help away, and Wenby isn’t the most mischievous player either, receiving in the low post, getting ahead of opponents or forcing them to receive in uncomfortable positions.Upshy, base high but still rising 25cm Although his height was 1.98, which was shorter than the French player, he tried to steal the ball from a high position and stole the ball. alley-oop before he gets to Victor to crush the rim.

We didn’t have any success or confidence on the perimeter in terms of season percentages. going down -0/3, 28% – against the Thunder, Wembaneyama also adds to the problem of offensive collapse as he remains stationary in the paint with his teammates not knowing how to pay attention to him. Base pairing Vassell and Sochan (nine points, 4-of-11 shooting) were never a threat for Oklahoma.

And on the other hand, it’s a joy to watch the Thunder play. When the Thunder play, they’re a team with an offense that’s as bright as the sky blue on the court. nba cup Like last night.When Holmgren is not calm, his partner back coat Gilgeous-Alexander caused a scandal by confirming what kind of player he is by adapting to FIBA ​​rules with surprising ease under his guidance during the World Cup against Canada . Jordi Fernandez.

with Josh Giddy Increase your responsibility as a manager to relieve Shai of responsibility. The combo of high base -2.03 and 1.98- can also throw defenses off guard. mismatch And he’s making this level more difficult overall. Euroleague MVP Like Vasilije Micic, he played a lot of minutes in his NBA debut. The early conclusion of the match allowed the former to score, as his average time so far was 13 minutes. Anadolu Efes He played the longest 19 minutes and had 8 points (2/4 shots, 2/3 triples), 4 assists, 1 rebound, and 1 steal.

The Thunder are 6-4, fifth in the West Division and aiming for the playoffs, while the Spurs, 3-7 and penultimate, have yet to decide how to resolve their first crisis of the season. .

Wenbanyama lost his first match against Chet Holmgren, scoring fewer points than him at 15.7 points compared to Wenby’s 18.6 points, but was much more efficient than his contemporaries, shooting 53% and making 46 triples. % (43% for French players, 28%). However, Wenby also scored below 10 points for the first time and received his first technical. The first intense trials are about to begin.
