Wembanyama vs Holmgren: The battle for the best rookie, a new chapter beyond history!
This season's rookie race seems to be a hot showdown at the pinnacle. In this contest, Wembanyama and Holmgren became the focus of the keen attention of all fans, ** and journalists. Before the start of the competition, Wembanyama was like a shining star, and his historic static talent, with a height of 2.26m and an arm span of 2.44m, made people expect a lot from him. The Spurs see him as the centerpiece of the future, and even compare him to Antetokounmpo and Durant.
However, as a month of competition passed, the situation took a subtle turn. Wembanyama's performances, while not bad, were not as impressive as those of the legendary rookie Duncan. His points, rebounds, assists, and blocks numbers are among the best among rookies, but his efficiency is worrying, with three-point shooting percentages. 1%。In a normal year, that performance might have been enough to lock in Rookie of the Year, but this year, he faced an opponent, Holmgren, who returned with a fresh look after a year of injury shadows.
Chet Holmgren, last year's star show, was reimbursed for a year due to injury and is officially back this year. His comeback was a stunning comeback, averaging 18 per game in 16 games1 point, 80 rebounds, 25 assists and 23 caps. Compared to Wembanyama, Holmgren is better in terms of efficiency and currently has a high three-point shooting percentage. 1%, close to the 180 club, and the true hit rate is as high as 693%。This kind of efficient performance was also fully reflected in the game, such as against the Warriors, he shot 14-of-22 from the field, 2-of-5 from three-point range, and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line, finishing with 36 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In today's game, he broke out again, facing the 76ers, played 31 minutes, shot 13 of 21, 5 of 11 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, got 33 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, although the game was lost, his plus/minus was +4, and his performance against last season's MVP Embiid was even more jaw-dropping.
Holmgren's performance is not only evident on the offensive end, but also in his dominance on the defensive end. Compared to Wembanyama, he averaged more interference per game and his opponent's overall shooting percentage dropped by 89%。He is the number one player who averages more than 15 interferences per game, and not only that, but his defense also brings substantial help to the team, and the Thunder can win 10 per 100 possessions when he plays4 points, vice versa only 65 points. That plus/minus puts him third on the team and 13th in the league.
In addition to his on-court performances, Holmgren's high-level stats are also quite eye-catching. His PER is 223, 16th in the league, 21, 12th in the league, WS per 48 minutes is 0225, 7th in the league. The player non-fungible value vorp is 08, 17th in the league, 5 in BPM2, 17th in the league. These stats aren't common in rookies, but they look perfectly natural with Holmgren.
Overall, Holmgren's maturity and performance have reached levels rarely seen in history. Not only did he show All-Star caliber on the offensive end, but he also showed ease on the defensive end. Wembanyama, meanwhile, has better talent and potential, but is relatively young and immature in the current comparison. Perhaps, Wembanyama will become a superstar in the future, but at the moment, Holmgren's performance is enough to make him the best rookie, sorry Wembanyama, this time, there is really no suspense.
However, as Chinese fans, we may be paying more attention to Wembanyama's performance, as he represents our glory and pride. In this "Sino-French rookie battle", we cheer for Wembanyama and look forward to him becoming the next superstar on the international basketball stage.
Wembanyama's debut is a source of pride for us, not only for the Chinese fans, but for the whole of Asian basketball. His height, reach, and agility on the court all give a glimpse of his future peak. Although he is currently a little lacking in efficiency, as a 19-year-old young player, he still has a lot of room to grow. We firmly believe that Wembanyama will gradually improve his performance in future competitions and win more respect for Chinese basketball.
Comparatively speaking, Holmgren's rise, while impressive, is relatively low in popularity and influence among Chinese fans. We may not be familiar with his past, but Wembanyama is the focus of our attention and anticipation. In Wembanyama, we see the hope and future of Chinese basketball, which is the link between the basketball culture of China and France.
Of course, we also have to be rational about the results. Holmgren's performance was really good, with efficient scoring and a well-rounded defense, which was impressive. His all-round performances on both the offensive and defensive ends make it hard to deny that he is one of the best rookies deservedly. But as Chinese fans, we need to give Wembanyama more support and encouragement, because he represents our dreams and expectations.
On the international stage, Chinese players have been chasing their dreams, hoping that more talented players will emerge. Wembanyama is undoubtedly one of the best, and his performance gives us a glimpse of the future of Chinese basketball. Although he still needs to improve in some areas at the moment, it is this growth process that makes us even more excited about his future performances.
So, no matter who wins the best rookie in the end, as Chinese fans, we should look at it with a calm mind. Wembanyama and Holmgren both have their own strengths and characteristics, and their rivalry is a friendly and fierce contest. We hope that they can all achieve greater achievements in their own fields and contribute to the Sino-French basketball exchanges.
Finally, let us look forward to a more brilliant basketball career for Wembanyama and Holmgren in the future, and I believe that with their efforts, Chinese and French basketball will be more prosperous because of such outstanding rookies. This may just be the beginning of their careers, and we look forward to seeing them create more basketball legends in the future." The Chinese fans will continue to support our Wembanyama, let us witness his growth and cheer for his honor!
