When the fifth game of the regular season was played this year, Wembanyama was a god, and the Suns led by Durant scored 38 points, plus 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, 15 of 26 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, the Spurs may have to restart the dynasty after Duncan's retirement, and the same talent, the same peerless genius, how can Wembanyama reach Duncan's height?
From the moment he was selected to the league, Duncan has set record after record, which Wembanyama must break if he wants to catch Duncan.
First record: Played 82 games in his rookie season, averaging 39 games per game1 minute, an average of 21 per game1 point 119 rebounds 27 assists 25 blocks and 54 percent from the field9%, with an average of 15 shots per gameSeven times, All-Rookie of the Year, All-Defensive Team first, All-Defensive Team second, All-Star selection, and the team to the second round of the playoffs.
Wembanyama's first five games are currently 28You can get 20 in 6 minutes6 points 80 rebounds 16 assists 14 steals 22 blocks, which is infinitely close to Duncan in terms of data, but Duncan's data is obtained when the team has the four major centers in the league, David Robinson, and Wembanyama does not have a close player on the inside of the Spurs to share the ball, so Duncan's data is better than Wembanyama.
In terms of honors in his rookie season, as long as Wembanyama is not injured, the only one who can challenge him for his rookie status of the Pistons is Osar Thompson, who is currently averaging 11 points and 9 points per game3 rebounds, 4 assists, 18 blocks, considering that his position in the Pistons is lower than Cunningham, and there is competition from Jalen Duren and Jaden Ivy, and the positioning is only a 3D player on the team, so Osar Thompson's data is better than Wembanyama's, so Wembanyama's best rookie status is not so solid, and in terms of scoring, Wembanyama has to improve his data to 25 points and 10 rebounds to lock in the best rookie, considering Cunningham's reimbursement last season, if Cunningham will still be injured this season, Osar Thompson's data will most likely rise to 14 points and 9.5 rebounds and 10 assists.
Wembanyama may be more difficult in the last two lines, and in the All-Star lineup, the West power forward has Davis, Zion Williams, Paul George, JJJ and Karmanen, and it is difficult for him to get into the first line, and it is also very difficult to defend the second line.
In addition to completing these in his rookie season, Duncan also brought the team into the second round of the playoffs, which requires Wembanyama to lead the team to the playoffs at the same time, but also to avoid the Nuggets, Warriors and Thunder in the first round, otherwise there is a high probability that they will not advance.
The second record: In his rookie season, he broke up the league's four major centers.
If Wembanyama can do the above, then Duncan has one more devil-level copy waiting for Wembanyama to open in his rookie season, and that is to take turns to blow up Admiral David Robinson, Gorilla Ewing, Big Shark O'Neal and Rockets legendary center Olajuwon.
In the above record, Duncan beat David Robinson in the first training game of the league, Robinson for the new little brother Duncan, originally planned to stand up in the first training game, and teach Duncan a good lesson, in the one-on-one heads-up, I didn't expect Duncan to be anti-guest, directly beat Robinson, and finally Popovich in order to protect Robinson's face, but let people close the curtains.
And that record would have required Wembanyama to beat Jokic, Davis, Embiid and Sabonis Jr. today. Wembanyama said I'm too difficult, you guys are mistaken, it's not Jokic who blows up but Jokic Jr. Shenjing.
The third record, winning the championship for the second year of his NBA career, and winning both the regular season MVP and FMVP.
If Wembanyama was able to complete the hellish difficulty in the first year, he would have reached the true god level in the second year, which no one in the NBA has ever done. That's to get two of the NBA's highest honors and a championship ring.
At that time, they first eliminated the Timberwolves with Wolf King Garnett 3:1, swept the OK combination of Kobe Bryant and O'Neal 4:0, swept the Trail Blazers 4:0, and finally eliminated the Knicks in the finals against Ewing 4:1, which is very similar to the process of the Nuggets in the playoffs last season.
And if Wembanyama wants to do this, first of all, it must be very strong in data, like Jokic, Doncic, Embiid and Tatum, etc., the data can basically reach 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and it is not a big problem to let Wembanyama's data reach 30 points and 10 rebounds, but the assists are very poor, and there is a high probability that they can only get 3 4, then they need to increase in points and rebounds, and it is expected to increase to an average of 35 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals per game, like the Mavericks 4 today: 0 starts, Doncic can average 33 per game8 points 104 rebounds 94 assists.
In addition to reaching the data, it is also necessary to improve the Spurs' record to the top three positions in the league, which is the most difficult, after all, this also needs the help of teammates, and in the playoffs, if Wembanyama wants to reach Duncan's height, he must have enough strength to defeat the current Nuggets, just like Duncan's Lakers who faced Kobe and O'Neal, but now the Spurs are facing the Nuggets, Wembanyama can't beat Jokic at all, and at the same time he is also fully behind in other positions, and he has to deal with the Nuggets' plateau conditions, think about these estimates, Wembanyama is estimated to cry, and the Grizzlies' little fat man Novoten should have been waiting for Wembanyama early。
In addition to the above records of the previous two years, Duncan still has five championship rings in hand, and when James was in his 20s, he touched James's head and said that the future is yours, and when James is in his 30s, he can touch his head again and say that the future is yours, I think this is exciting, many people say Wembanyama is the next Duncan, I don't think so, Duncan's height Wembanyama can't reach it, unless Wembanyama now has Jokic's level!
