The longest losing streak in Spurs history was broken by a young center named Victor Wembanyama. Not only did he excel in the game, but he also showed extraordinary determination and perseverance in the face of setbacks.
Wembanyama was a starting center and had a great performance against the Spurs against the Rockets. He played 33 minutes, shooting 7-of-15 from the field and 1-of-6 from three-point range, finishing with 15 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 blocks and 5 turnovers.

In his post-match interview, Wembanyama spoke about the Spurs' 17-game losing streak. "Of course it's not easy, but we don't have a choice," he said. Keep up the good work and keep moving forward. The good news is that no one is going to dispute that we will be winners in the long term. I hate losing, but I'm going to focus on the long-term goals. ”
Wembanyama's interview showed his determination and confidence. He believes that although the Spurs are facing difficulties now, as long as they keep working hard and persevering, the future must be theirs.
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, meanwhile, also commented on the team's performance. "It's hard to win when you throw so many shots," he said. His words were simple and direct, expressing his disappointment with the team's performance. But he also stressed the need for the team to keep moving forward and not be crushed by defeat.
For Spurs, this game was undoubtedly a losing battle. But the performances of their young players, especially Victor Wembanyama, give hope. They have shown perseverance and tenacious fighting spirit. Such performances have led to the belief that the future of Spurs is still full of possibilities.
Overall, while Spurs are going through a difficult losing streak, they haven't given up. Instead, they are gaining experience with each defeat and Xi how to succeed in future competitions. Victor Wembanyama's outstanding performance and tenacity have undoubtedly injected a strong impetus into the future of Spurs.
