Wembanyama (Wemban) and Holmgren (Chet), the two tall and thin talent monsters, are destined to become the future NBA topic king, no way, the grudge between the two has been formed since U19, with similar figures, age differences, and the NBA with front and back feet.
It can only be said that there is an endless topic of hype between these two, and the domestic and foreign media will naturally not let go of this kind of material, and at present, the most talked about should be the battle between Wenban and Chet for the best rookie.
Chet's limelight once overshadowed Wenban, there is no doubt that the better team system and teammates, Chet plays quite easily, and he doesn't need to be a demoman here, he can be a second or third leader at most, and there is a group of strongmen such as SGA behind him.
Wenban is different, Spurs is the league's bottom team, a group of teammates can be said to be the least talented in the league, he became the team's trump card as soon as he came, he has to be the main beam at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and until now, as long as Wenban goes down to rest, the team's offense and defense will be broken.
A young man who has just turned 20 has so much to bear, his pressure is not comparable to Chet, and the support given to him by his teammates is not as good as Chet.
Let's talk about defense first, Wemban is already the current defensive pillar of the Spurs, and his average of 3.2 blocks per game is already the first level in the league.
Speaking of offense, with Wemban's lineup, it will indeed be relatively easy to score, as long as Wemban has a chance, teammates will throw the ball in the direction of the basket, and Wemban's high and low will be given to you.
Not only that, Wemban's presence can attract opponents to pack, so that teammates have more opportunities, but the current Spurs are still a growing team, and their teammates are not so good that they can't take advantage of the opportunities created by Wemban.
After Wemban's switch to the No. 5 position, his improvement was obvious to all, he was more efficient, he had more rebounds, and more blocks, so his statistics began to surround Chet in all directions.
Against the Thunder again today, Wemban, who plays the No. 5 position, finally has more matches with Chet.
From the first quarter, the two had a matchup, showing each other offensive and defensive skills and talents in front of each other, at halftime, Chet scored 7 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks on 3-of-5 shooting, and Wemban scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 grab on 5-of-9 shooting.
The big boss on the Thunder's side is SGA, so Chet's shooting is quite easy to understand, and SGA scored 16 points, 6 assists and 3 boards on 5-of-8 shooting in the half. He's not that good at defending, and the Spurs started with Wesley today just to cause a little trouble for SGA.
Weis's performance is quite eye-catching, he is not inferior in speed, he is not bad in strength, SGA does not take much advantage in front of him, he is doing a good job of defense at the same time, the offense is also good, 5 shots, including a three-point shot, the whole game scored 12 points, 4 boards, 6 assists and 1 hat, I believe that after today, Wesley's appearance order can be firmly ranked in front of the spicy chicken.
Because Spicy Chicken is another look when defending SGA, it gives people the feeling that they are not active and not serious enough, but it is normal, there are few people in the league who can really cause trouble for SGA, besides, Spicy Chicken is still okay on the offensive end today - 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 robs, 1 hat and 0 turnovers on 3-of-5 shooting.
In any case, Spicy Chicken is still just a second-grade show, with limited talent, and the growth of young people takes a certain amount of time and process.
In recent times, we can see that Vassell's assists are good, which is a good phenomenon, the coaching staff is deliberately practicing his ability to divide the ball, today's Vassell, 9 of 14 shots, 1 of 4 three-point shots, got 21 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block, and then 0 turnovers in the game.
Previously deliberately practiced his ball-handling attack, now focusing on developing his ability to divide the ball, Vassell is now 23 years old, and after two or three years of evolution, probably by the time he is 25 or 6 years old, one of the strongest Vassell will basically appear, and the contract given to him by the management is reasonable.
The Spurs have a set of training newcomers, what is lacking and what is practiced, just like Parker in the past, don't you have a mid-range shot? Then I will insist on training you, and this is why Parker has been killing all sides with mid-range shots for 13 or 14 years.
Speaking of Patrick Banyama, at the beginning of the third quarter, he made a heavy dunk on Chet, which made Chet suddenly think carefully, and after grabbing the board, he directly attacked the whole court.
There's no way, the same is standing on the cusp, and people have been comparing him, if you want to say that he is indifferent, I won't believe it, the same is also suitable for the literary class, the two played to the fourth quarter in the duel between you and me, until the difference stabilized at 30 points.
In the game, Wenban scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks on 9-of-18 shooting and 6-of-8 free throws, and Chet was also capped, while Chet was 7-of-13 shooting, 2-of-4 three-pointers, and 1-of-3 free throws, scoring 17 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.
In terms of data, Wenban is still stable, after all, the Spurs rely on his offense and defense, and today should be almost unblocked, let him play for so long in the third quarter, if it weren't for a bit of garbage time in the fourth quarter, I believe he would have broken 30 minutes.
In addition to injuries, physical fitness is also a problem that Wenban needs to overcome, and he himself has said that once his physical fitness drops, he will do some unreasonable behavior, and today there was a three-point shot to tell the coach, I can't play.
After today's fight, if you still insist on comparison, I think Wenban has comprehensively overpowered Chet, there should be no problem with this, and I have to forcibly say that Wenban is not as good as Chet, then okay, in terms of the strength of his teammates, Wenban is indeed inferior to Chet.
