That game was truly breathtaking!
The San Antonio Spurs faced off against the Philadelphia 76ers on the road, and it turned out to be a real drama with twists and turns, leaving almost no dull moments.
What stands out the most is the 20-year-old Victor Wembanyama, who did something unprecedented on the court, easily overpowering Joel Embiid and incidentally setting a new NBA record!
This game was like a hardcore basketball movie, leaving all the spectators in awe, unable to help but give their thumbs up to Wembanyama.
The match started with both teams playing fiercely.
The Spurs challenged the 76ers away from home, with an atmosphere so tense it felt like it could explode, as neither team wanted to give up easily.
However, no one expected that the protagonist of this game would be a 20-year-old young man, Victor Wembanyama!
As soon as he stepped onto the court, he was like a godsend, completely disorienting the entire 76ers team, especially Embiid, who became his backdrop!
Firstly, it must be said that the referee for this game, Schroeder, the female NBA referee, gave everyone a lesson on how to stir up controversy right at the beginning.
Look, Draymond Green received two technical fouls due to emotional excitement at the start, logically speaking, he should have been directly ejected from the game, but guess what?
One of the technical fouls was revoked, and Green was called back to the court to continue the melee!
This move was both dramatic and confusing, making people scratch their heads.
As for Wembanyama, his flopping controversy almost made people laugh, fortunately, the referee finally gave him a fair decision, not letting the game turn into a farce.
Embiid, although his mouth was a bit dirty, his angry rant at the referees really stimulated everyone.
As a result, he was directly ejected from the game due to consecutive technical fouls, completely eliminated, leaving a void.
But talking about Wembanyama, he is the real drama king!
This kid is really the focus of the whole game, unstoppable.
In the first half, he scored 9 points, the key point being that his defensive intensity made the 76ers' scalps tingle.
Especially facing Embiid, he completely overwhelmed him without any resistance!
Just imagine, Embiid on the court was originally the 76ers' big gun, but he was tightly defended by Wembanyama, shooting 2 out of 8, scoring 9 points and 3 rebounds, with abysmal statistics.
Wembanyama's defense is not just strong, he is like a nightmare for the 76ers' offense, the whole team couldn't find a breakthrough.
It must be said that Wembanyama's defensive performance in this game left a deep impression on me, making me doubt whether Embiid was wearing some kind of bewitched shoes, unable to break through at all!
Wembanyama's performance is not limited to defense, his offensive end is simply jaw-dropping.
Throughout the game, he efficiently made 9 shots, including 6 out of 6 three-pointers, a violent strike!
In the end, Wembanyama scored a super comprehensive stat line of 26 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 8 blocks, making himself the brightest star of the game.
You read that right, 6 three-pointers!
This guy's outside shooting is steadier than Kevin Durant!
Who dares say he's not an all-around player?
That's the first time since 2017 that an NBA player has put up such impressive stats in a single game!
Even more astonishingly, Wembanyama also set an unprecedented record - in the past three games, he has accumulated over 20 blocks and over 15 three-pointers, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve such a feat.
You know how valuable this record is, everyone can understand.
It's simply an unprecedented rise in NBA history!
Wembanyama's block stats are not just from this game, previously against the Trail Blazers, he scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 blocks; against the Hawks, he had an even more impressive stat line of 42 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 blocks!
Who still dares to underestimate him?
He's not only exploding on the offensive end, but also showing remarkable defensive prowess, even becoming the strongest candidate for Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) this season.
Who still dares to say this kid can only attack?
Wembanyama not only impressed us with his stats, but more importantly, he showed leadership qualities and control over the game, making people see the outline of a future superstar.
Think about it, in such a life-or-death game, he could so efficiently suppress Embiid, that's the true display of strength!
With an average of 36 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 7 blocks, he won the Western Conference Player of the Week without any doubt!
If the Spurs want to return to the championship ranks, then this young demon king is undoubtedly their future core.
With Wembanyama's fiery performance, the future of the Spurs is getting brighter and brighter.
Just think, if they can bring in another All-Star level player, the overall depth of the Spurs' lineup will definitely reach championship level, and they might even become a formidable force in the league!
Do you think other teams are starting to feel the pressure?
You also need to know that fans' expectations for Wembanyama are getting higher and higher.
Some netizens expressed: This kid is really crazy!
I dare bet that in the next few years, the NBA MVP will be in his pocket.
Indeed, Wembanyama's talent and performance have already made people forget that he is only 20 years old.
Moreover, his basketball IQ and execution on the court are amazing, not on the same level as those veterans, truly gifted!
However, some fans hold different opinions: Wait, Wembanyama is indeed performing outstandingly now, but whether he can maintain this state depends on how far his career can go, factors such as injuries and mentality may affect his performance.
Actually, this concern is reasonable, after all, any player needs time to prove themselves, and Wembanyama is no exception.
To maintain top-level performance in the high-intensity competition of the NBA for a long time is a huge challenge.
There are also netizens pointing out: Although Wembanyama's defense and offense are very strong, I think he still needs to further integrate into the team's tactical system, after all, basketball is not just about individual battles.
As the core of the Spurs, he also needs to lead his teammates to make progress together.
This view is actually quite reasonable, after all, the NBA is not a place where one person can win a game, teamwork is the key.
As a future team leader, Wembanyama must perform better in this aspect.
The climax of this game is undoubtedly Wembanyama's explosion, overpowering Embiid and creating history, this is simply the first time in 78 years of NBA history!
In the next few years, we will surely see more amazing performances from Wembanyama, and the future of the Spurs is becoming more hopeful because of his rise, sincerely looking forward to his next performance!
