Although the Spurs have a poor record this season, the individual performance of the champion Xiu Wembanyama has been a surprise. The youngster's recent back-to-back NBA record breaks have been remarkable. In today's game, he set another NBA record, surpassing Howard's record of two consecutive double-doubles for a junior player set in 2005.
Wembanyama had a great performance in today's game, scoring 17 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks on 6-of-13 shooting, 2-of-6 three-pointers and 3-of-4 free throws. After this game, he reached a double-double in eight consecutive games, breaking Howard's NBA record and becoming the all-time first in this statistic.
Since Wembanyama moved from the No. 4 to No. 5 spot, his rebounding and block counts have skyrocketed, and he has broken multiple NBA records in a row. Not long ago, he scored 21 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks against the Bulls, breaking Howard's NBA record and becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score 20 points and 20 rebounds at the age of 19 years and 339 days. After this game, he scored 15 points, 18 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 assists against the Rockets, becoming the first junior player (13-19 years old) in NBA history to score 15 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks in two consecutive games.
In the Spurs vs Lakers game after playing the Rockets, Wembanyama played against the thick eyebrows and played an excellent performance against the thick eyebrows. He shot 11-of-21 (4-of-5 from three-point range) and 4-of-7 from the free-throw line to finish with 30 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocks. At the age of 19 years and 343 days, Wembanyama became the youngest player in NBA history to have 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, and the only player under the age of 20 to score 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks. Bushy Eyebrows was 20 years and 242 days old when he set the record.
Although the Spurs have a poor record, Wembanyama has broken NBA records one after another, which is enough to prove that his status as a top pick is well deserved. Wembanyama is not yet 20 years old, and he has a lot of room to grow, and at the rate at which he grows, he will become another monster player in the NBA. The young player's outstanding performance makes people look forward to his future development, and I believe that he will bring more surprises and shocks to the basketball world.
