In the NBA, there was one game that caught the spotlight, and that was the Spurs vs. Rockets. On December 12, Beijing time, Spurs suffered another tragedy
The 82-93 loss to the Rockets set the longest 17-game losing streak in team history. However, Spurs' Wembanyama was excellent in the game and his stats were outstanding.
At the start of the game, both the Spurs and the Rockets were in poor offensive form. The Spurs, in particular, scored only 21 points, but still led the Rockets by two points. However, Wembanyama has excelled during this time
He contributed 5 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first quarter. However, he was in danger of a 90-degree foot break on a save and was thankfully uninjured and was able to get back to the defensive end quickly after Wemban's fall. Section II,
The Rockets regained their offensive touch, and the Spurs were hit by a 16-4 attack wave by the Rockets, leaving the Spurs 10 points behind. Spurs struggled to catch up with the score in the following time.
With just over a minute left in the first half, the Spurs went on a 7-0 comeback. And Wemban's frequent contributions on the defensive end have been affirmed. At the end of the first half,
The Spurs trailed by four points at 47-51. Wembanyama had excellent statistics of 7 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks in the half. At the start of the second half, Spurs quickly equalized 6-2
But the Rockets immediately hit two three-pointers in a row to stabilize the situation. The game went to a stalemate, and at 5:37 of the third quarter, Wembanyama pulled out a shocking dunk Shin Kyung, who stood in place
With a ruthless expression, this time the one-arm partition was too brutal. The entire NBA was amazed by him. Wembans came back on the pitch after the break, but Spurs trailed back to double digits again. However,
After Wemban came back on the court, he broke the scoring drought for the Spurs with a catch-and-shoot jumper. At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs trailed by seven points at 62-69, and Wembanyama had 13 points and 13 rebounds in the third quarter. Section III,
Both the Spurs and Rockets had poor offensive performances, with both teams combined for just 33 points. In the final quarter, the Spurs and the Rockets started a tug-of-war, and the score was tight. With 4:27 left in the game, Wemban returned to the court, but the Spurs hit the three-point line frequently, and the Rockets launched a 5-0 attack wave to open up a nine-point gap at once. In the end, the Spurs lost to the Rockets and suffered the longest 17-game losing streak in team history. Although the Spurs lost the game and their performance was disappointing, especially from the outside, Wembanyama's excellent performance in the game still deserves praise. His 15 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, as well as that shocking dunk Shin Kyung, made people look forward to him.
I hope that the Spurs can get out of the haze of losing streak as soon as possible, regain their glory, and surprise the fans.
