Summer League 2023 is a much-anticipated battle, and the Spurs against the Hornets has become a game that fans are waiting for.
One of the highlights of the match was the debut of the new branch champion Bunbanyama. A high-profile player who has not yet played, Vembanyama has shown his strength and potential on the pitch.
At the beginning of the game, Brandon Miller started the game and scored the first point with a layup shortly after the start of the game. Venbanyama, on the other hand, ran off the ball on the outside and hit it directly after receiving the ball, showing his accurate shooting ability. However, Venbanyama's breakthrough and outside shooting did not go well at the beginning, and the first three shots failed, and it was not until the fourth low post that he scored 2+1 and he scored his first summer league goal. Despite playing only four minutes, Venbanyama showed his talent and influence, especially on the defensive end.
Throughout the game, both teams were on the low side of their offensive efficiency, especially the Hornets, who had not yet found the rhythm of organizing their tactics, resulting in offensive difficulties.
The Spurs maintained their lead with Miller's outstanding performance and the steady play of Blanham, Champany, Wesley and other players. At the end of the first half, the Spurs led the Hornets by 12 points at 26-38. In 13 minutes of playing time, Venbanyama shot 1-of-7 from the field, 0-of-3 from three-point range, and had five points, five rebounds, three blocks, one assist and two turnovers. Whether it's bad hands on the offensive end, his breakthrough and passing vision is still excellent. However, this also exposed the problem of his lack of strength in the lower limbs, which made it difficult to gain an advantage in the confrontation.
After the start of the second half, the Spurs continued to hold on to their advantage, with players such as Brannham, Champany and Wesley taking turns to stabilize the game. The Hornets, led by Kai Jones' brilliant open tackle and Miller's broken dunk, gradually regained their form on the court.
During this time, Venbanyama was reduced to a background board and could no longer show his strength.
There is also a recent news about Bunbanyama According to news reports, the famous singer "Britney" Britney Spears was slapped by the Spurs security personnel next to the new branch champion Bunbanyama in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, and Britney has now called the police. Britney made a statement that night.
In an interview today, Mr. Venbanama said he did not know at first that Britney was involved.
"It wasn't until a few hours later when I went back to the hotel that I found out it had fermented, I thought it wasn't a big deal, and then Spurs security came and told me she was singer Britney Spears," Bin said. Hopefully, this matter will not affect Vemban Yama!
In the final quarter, Venbanyama came on again and finally made the first three points, causing a foul. He obviously didn't shoot well in the game, but this crucial three-pointer stabilized the situation for the Spurs. In the end, the Spurs defeated the Hornets 76-68.
Throughout the game, Venbanyama played a total of 27 minutes, shooting 2-of-13 from the field, 1-of-6 from three-point range, and had 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 blocks and 3 turnovers. It may be because the summer league debut did not adapt, but it did not prevent fans from looking forward to his future performance. Miller became the focus of the game with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 steals.
