On January 5, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Milwaukee Bucks went to challenge the San Antonio Spurs on the road. The Bucks are ranked 2nd in the East, and the Spurs are firmly in the bottom 1st in the West. At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the two teams launched a high-speed bombardment, and the Bucks maintained a slight upper hand inside and out. In the second quarter, Vassell became the Spurs' wonder soldier and led the team to chase the score, and the Bucks relied on Mishen's three-point shot to stabilize the situation. Yibian fought again, Brother Alphabet and Big Cousin Qi Fawei, Wembanyama stood up and took over the game without fear, scoring 13 points in a single quarter to help the team erase the difference. In the final quarter, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, and the suspense of the game dragged on until the last moment, Brother Alphabet and Wenban shot three-pointers at each other, Brother Alphabet used a violent dunk 2+1 to help the Bucks establish a 3-point lead, and the Spurs hit three consecutive points to save the defeat. In the end, the Bucks narrowly defeated the Spurs 125-121.
The Bucks, who are the giants of the East, have just been killed by the Pacers, and they are in desperate need of a win to relieve their anger, and the Western Spurs are undoubtedly a good punching bag. I didn't think that the Bucks would not be able to do it quickly, and they seemed to be still immersed in the shelling battle with the Pacers, and they couldn't extricate themselves, and a chaotic battle was in the hands of the Spurs. In the whole game, the Bucks made 16 turnovers and allowed the Spurs to use these mistakes to score 27 points; in contrast, the young Spurs only made 11 turnovers and only allowed the Bucks to score 12 points with turnovers! At the same time, the Spurs also crushed the Bucks 28-15 in fast-break scoring!
The Bucks refused to cause an upset, and Brother Alphabet played 39 minutes, shooting 19 of 28 (2 of 3 three-pointers), 4 of 6 free throws, and blasted 44 points + 14 rebounds + 7 assists + 2 steals + 1 block. Especially in the final quarter of the game, the Spurs pressed step by step, forcing out the most perfect version of Brother Alphabet, violent dunks and 2+1 are not uncommon, Brother Alphabet withstood the pressure of the home fans' seconds and hit free throws steadily, and he also hit two key three-pointers worth a thousand gold! When was the last time Brother Alphabet hit two three-pointers in a single game? Please forgive me for not remembering! According to statistics, this is the second time in Brother Alphabet's career that he has scored at least 40 points + in a single game with a shooting rate of more than 65%. With 10 rebounds, it ranks fourth in NBA history, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (22), O'Neal (24) and Chamberlain (39).
It was a surprise that the Spurs could fight the Bucks until the last moment, and the biggest surprise was Wembanyama! After the whole game, Wembanyama played 26 minutes, 10 of 18 shots (2 of 8 three-pointers), 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 27 points + 9 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 steal + 5 blocks. At the beginning of the second quarter, Wenban completed the actual combat and self-throwing and self-dunking, paying tribute to Maddie, and turning the audience upside down; at the end of the second quarter, Wenban completed the supplementary dunk on the head of Brother Alphabet; in the third quarter, after Wenban was dunked by Brother Alphabet, he used the same action to return the color in the next round; at the decisive moment of the final quarter, Wenban nailed the board and capped Lillard, and successfully blocked Brother Alphabet's frontal attack basket! At the same time, Wembanyama also set a number of NBA records.
According to statistics from the NBA's official website, this is Wembanyama's seventh time this season that he has made at least five blocks in a single game, the second most in the league, behind the Bucks' Big Lopez (eight). Wembanyama, meanwhile, made 96 blocks in the first 30 games of his career, the fifth-most in NBA history, behind Bol (120), O'Neal (119), Mourning (112) and Bradley (100). So far this season, Wembanyama has averaged 3.2 blocks per game, surpassing stars such as Lopez (3), Kessler (2.9), Thick Eyebrows (2.7) and Holmgren (2.7) to rank first in the league.
It has to be said that there is no shame in the Spurs' loss to the Bucks, and Wemban's talent is enough to make people believe that they have a bright future. Even Wembanyama couldn't help but praise Wembanyama after the game, and he bluntly said: Wembanyama is an incredible talent, he always plays in the right way, and he is full of hunger to win! Yes, this is Wemban's report card when there is a clear limit on playing time. Spurs coach Popovich publicly stated when talking about Wemban's limited playing time, and he bluntly said: Wemban's limited playing time is very frustrated, but he is very smart and knows and understands that we are doing this with an eye to the future! Waiting for the flowers to bloom at the end of the day, I believe that the Spurs and Wemban's future is bright. Fans, what do you think about this?
