The 19-year-old Wembanyama played against the Lakers today and staged a magnificent matchup. The two top center forwards went back and forth and played a wonderful game with many climaxes.
Thick eyebrows shot 13-of-23 from the field, including 2-of-3 from three-point range and 9-of-12 from the free-throw range, scoring a quasi-triple-double of 37 points and 10 rebounds. His dominance on the inside was on full display in this game, forcing a number of defensive layups or jumping high in the box to complete a dunk. Wembanyama, who was following him, was not afraid at all, and used his cap to dismantle the attack of the thick eyebrows many times.
The competition heated up as it entered the final stages. The Lakers had a huge lead of 20 points, but Wembanyama didn't give up in the slightest. He slashed 14 points and 4 rebounds in the fourth quarter to make the score only 1 point away at one point, and completed a beautiful chase with teammate Keldon. In the end, the Lakers relied on the thick eyebrows to retain a slight advantage to win, but Wembanyama's quasi-triple-double data of 30 points, 13 rebounds and 6 blocks was even more impressive.
Did you know?Wembanyama's performance not only surpassed the record set by Bushy Eyebrow 10 years ago and became the youngest player in NBA history to score 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, but he also became the first player under the age of 20 to achieve this feat since the block statistics were compiled in 1972!
Come to think of it, no NBA player under the age of 19 has ever accomplished this feat in 51 years, but Wembanyama made this unique history at the age of 19 years and 343 days. What he broke was the record set by the current NBA No. 1 center at the age of 20, and the coincidence of fate was shocking.
So I feel that Wembanyama is simply the chosen one, his talent and potential are undoubted, and his future is limitless. In the future, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the NBA and one day become the true king of centers who will amaze the world and surpass O'Neal!
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and everyone praised the performance of the 19-year-old fresh meat Wembanyama.
Some netizens commented: "Wembanyama's talent is terrifying, and at the age of 19, he can face the top center in the NBA, which is simply witnessing the birth of a superstar!"His speed, agility, dribbling and break-through ability are absolutely top-notch, and his mid-to-long-range shooting is also excellent, as long as he is physically stronger and has more ability on the defensive end, he is definitely a super center at the level of O'Neal!I believe that he has a bright future, and Chinese basketball has really risen because of him!”
Some netizens analyzed: "Wembanyama's performance today has impressed me with him, a 19-year-old boy can go head-to-head with the champion center, this talent and courage are really the strongest I have ever seen." Now his biggest problem is that his body still needs to grow, and many times when he encounters a collision, he will lose his balance and make mistakes. If he can improve his fitness and defense, I believe he can become the king of the center, and hopefully surpass O'Neill someday in the future!”
Of course, some netizens raised their own doubts: "I personally think we shouldn't have too high expectations for Wembanyama's future. After all, there are many examples in the history of the NBA where talented rookies eventually failed, such as Desa and Rose were both top-notch figures of the year, but neither achieved corresponding achievements. Wembanyama's biggest advantage right now is his youth, but that also means that he will inevitably have the energy and concentration to focus on the game. So I think we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see how far he can go. ”
Regardless, the 19-year-old has already conquered the world with his performances. His never-say-die and indomitable spirit has shown the best side of Chinese athletes. So I believe that no matter how far he can go in the future, Wembanyama's story will become the pride of our generation!Anyway, let's applaud him for his performance!In the future, it will be even more exciting!
