Victor Wembanyama (19, France) said he had a new realization through the match against the Toronto Raptors.
The San Antonio Spurs, which Wembanyama belongs to, lost 116-123 in the NBA 2023-24 regular season home game at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, on the 6th after an extended battle with Toronto.
After leading 54-35 in the first half, San Antonio took a 22-point lead at one point. However, they allowed a tie of 110-110 in the fourth quarter and lost 123-116 in overtime.
Wembanyama did not bomb like he scored 38 points in the game against Phoenix, but he continued his amazing performance with 12 points, six rebounds and three blocks, including two three-pointers in the first half alone.
Then, in the second half, Toronto changed its game strategy to prevent Wembanyama from putting the ball in at all. Wembanyama, who failed to provide any solution to the opponent's strategy throughout the third and fourth quarters, penetrated his blood by taking responsibility for all the first four points to the overtime team, but failed to prevent the defeat. Therefore, his final record was 20 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 blocks. However, his presence in defense was still close to military work.
Asked what he thought of the defeat, Wembanyama, who conducted an interview after the end of the game, briefly replied, "I knew it was meaningless to lead the NBA by 20 points."
Wembanyama, who previously won the French league and entered the NBA stage, has been showing amazing performances every day from his debut to the match against Phoenix. However, the learning of Wembanyama, the all-time talent who experienced the NBA's first overtime loss through the game, will continue.
Toronto's Scotty Barnes, who directly felt his play on the day, also praised Wambanyama as a lumber that can change the flow of the game. 안전한 카지노사이트
