Wen Ban Ding Flip Chet, both a chopstick brother and a lifelong enemy

Today is the first preseason game of his careers for Venbanyama and Chet Holmgren, who was injured last offseason and took a full year offseason, so he is also eligible for the Rookie of the Year this season. And everyone also knows that Chet and Wenban have long been lifelong enemies in the mouth of the media.

Both men have similar body shapes, slender statures and well-rounded technology, and are hailed as representatives of the future of basketball. Although the Wen class is a little taller than Chet, the two people look similar on the field, and there is a feeling of two large bamboo poles flying on the field.

Wenban's latest weight has grown from 95 kg to 104 kg, which does look much stronger than when it was in the summer league; Chet is also growing meat a year after entering the league, from only 88 kilograms at the beginning to about 94 kilograms now.

It can be seen that the body of Wen Banyama is more likely to hang meat than Chet, which is one of the reasons why the outside world is more optimistic about Wen Banyama. But Chet played one more year more than Bunban, and although he didn't officially play, he also experienced NBA-level intensity in advance.

The two have played each other years ago, in the U19 basketball World Cup final, France vs the United States, Venbanyama cut 22 points, 8 rebounds and 8 blocks, beating Holmgren's 10 points and 5 assists, but Holmgren's United States team narrowly beat France 83-81.

I have to say that the preseason still depends on the young teams to play well, those veterans basically come up and walk in the preseason, warm up and go down. And these young talents, whether they are preseason or not, as long as they play are playing hard.

Chet must have a special idea about the previous class, after all, a year ago he was the most anticipated super newcomer, and a year later all the limelight was stolen by the Munbanyama.

So in the first quarter, Chet played quite aggressively, breaking through the inside line in a row and completely suppressing the Spurs' interior Collins. The two men are not directly in position, but there are some rounds where Bunban plays Chet.

In the first quarter of 7 minutes, Wen Ban broke through and directly overturned Chet, Wen Ban was suspected of an offensive foul and directly pushed Chet's face, but the referee did not blow it very wisely.

There is also a round, when Venbanyama counterattacks and runs in front of Chet to complete the dunk, and the next round Chet responds by playing 2+1. Although there are many highlights in the first section, Chet is actually the one who plays better.

Wen Ban scored 10 points on 4 of 5, and the goals in sports battles basically came from chaotic battles, and the current Wen Ban is not very suitable for hard gouging positional battles. Chet scored 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting, 1-of-1 from three-point range, and made a burst of shots that blew Collins up.

Wen Ban scored eight points in the second quarter, and those eight points came from a big pull-up layup and two three-pointers against Chet, and he played a very "guard". And Chet returned one immediately after Wenban scored a three-pointer, and the two men pointed at Mai Mang, never giving each other.

At halftime, Venbanyama shot 7 of 9, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block; Chet shot 7-of-10 from the field, 2-of-2 from three-point range, and had 21 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Chet did not play in the second half, and Bunban only played for a few minutes before resting.

These two people, one 2.23 meters and the other 2.16 meters, basically launched their attacks from the outside. Either directly shoot three points, or three threats to break through, the body movements are still very coordinated, too terrible.

At present, it seems that Chet is now more mature than Bunban, and he is very comfortable with both switching attacks and positional attacks. And Wenban, you first let him play the position one by one, his level of control is not up to the level of the NBA.

When I wrote this, I felt strange, a 2.20+ player, to improve the level of control, no way, this is the way Wenban plays. In the NBA, players like Bunban and Chet will only grow.

Will next season's Rookie of the Year be produced between these two?
