Wembanyama scored the equalizer to save the Spurs, and the two games in his NBA career were at the heart of the game
On the morning of October 28, Beijing time, the Spurs defeated the Rockets 126-122 in overtime at home and won the first win of the NBA new season. Wembanyama, the top player in the Spurs, also got the first win of his professional basketball career. The French boy was definitely the key to the team's victory, and his shot tied the opponent before the end of the fourth quarter, giving the team a chance to win eventually. Wembanyama scored 21 points and 12 rebounds in the game, which can be said to be a further game.
In recent seasons, the Spurs and Rockets have both gone downhill, sliding straight from the league's old powerhouses, and if this matchup was held last season, I am afraid that not many people pay attention to the "rookie peck" between the weak teams in the West. But this season is different, because the Spurs have signed Wembanyama, and the Rockets are also a team with huge potential, and many fans are eager to enjoy this suspenseful and youthful matchup.
Although he lost his debut in the American professional basketball team, Wembanyama's performance was okay, and his stats would have been better if he hadn't committed too many fouls. In this game, he paid more attention to his movements, only 2 fouls in the whole game, and because of the overtime, the young man played 8 more minutes than in his debut, and his score increased from 15 points in the first game to 21 points, and grabbed 12 rebounds to achieve a double-double. In addition, he also dished out 1 assist and 2 steals, and had a plus/minus of +7 throughout the game.
What's more worth mentioning is that Wembanyama scored the equalizer goal at the end of 20 seconds of regular time to save the team from the brink of defeat, super power + big heart, he has been in the state in two games. In addition to this, he also gave away 3 big hats, which made his opponents fearful. Wembanyama was extremely effective at both ends of the pitch on both ends of the pitch.
If you have to find fault with Wembanyama, when he pulls to the outside to shoot a 3-pointer, although it is difficult for the opponent to block him because of his height, his shooting rate is still relatively low, in this game he shot 6 times from a distance and missed a shot, and it is normal to shoot 7 of 13 inside, and the shooting rate of 7 of 8 free throws is also very high. It seems that the young man should still hurry up to gain weight to increase the attack power and deterrence of the inside, and the scoring efficiency will be greatly improved.
