St Anthony’s Homa Thorn won the first prize, while Detroit’s piston and Houston Rockets returned disappointed. So who will be the number one in Spurs? Although Henderson is trying hard to hold his respect: “It is definitely possible to choose me”, there is no doubt that the champion has already been confirmed. No matter who gets the champion sign, he will choose Wen banyama!
Wenbanyama reserved the first prize sign?
Spurs won the first prize again
In history, Spurs won the first prize twice. In 1987, they chose “admiral” Robinson, and in 1997, they chose “stone Buddha” Duncan. As for the result, everyone knows: under the guidance of Popovich baby, they joined hands to create glory for Spurs, especially Duncan, who led the team to win the NBA Championship five times!
Moreover, in the first season after the selection of the champion, the Spurs score was always able to take off immediately, and both times achieved 56 wins and 26 losses. What is this concept? On the basis of this season, 56 wins and 26 losses ranked third in the league, second only to the eastern Bucks and Celts, and even higher than the western first Nuggets (53 wins and 29 losses).
Duncan (right) and Robinson
Now, Spurs won the first prize for the third time and will definitely choose Wen banyama. This season, they only achieved 22 wins and 60 losses. Can they make a sudden rise next season? It depends on this French genius.
How strong is wenbanyama?
As the most eye-catching basketball star, Wen banyama is only 19 years old this year, with a height of 2 meters 23 and an arm exhibition of 2 meters 44, which is almost the same as Yao Ming in that year. He was born in a sports family. His father was a high-level long jump player. His mother once played basketball and cultivated his son’s basketball skills from an early age.
In the U16 European Basketball Championship in 2019, the 15-year-old wenbanya racecourse scored 9 points, 10 rebounds and 5 cap, and began to emerge. In 2021, he was 17 years old and participated in the U19 World Cup, averaging 14 points, 7 rebounds and 5 cap. In the final against the US team led by Holmgren, he even shot 22 points, 8 rebounds and 8 cap, unfortunately, he lost 2 points in the end and became the runner-up.
This season, Wen banama joined the Metropolitan 92 team in Paris from ASVEL, averaging 21.6 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.1 cap in the French league. All three figures are the first in the league! The team finally won the second in the regular season.
Tall and tall, the man’s class Yama ball playing skill is also very skilled
Although Wen Banya Ma is a “giant”, he has a guard-like ball playing skill. He can immediately stop and roll back after a continuous Crotch. The Shooting feel is also very soft. He can run to the outside line and hit three points under the cover of his teammates; he has good physical coordination and athletic ability. Although the running speed and vertical take-off are not top, he is good enough in the players in the inner line.
Because the height is too high, Wen banyama can keep the height of the ball at the same time of receive the ball, and does not need extra fengshui ball movements. Even if the opponent takes off, it is difficult to cover him. Moreover, he has a large stride, so he has a good breakthrough ability and can rush into the forbidden zone to kill.
On the defensive end, Wen banyama’s ability to protect the restricted area is quite amazing. The huge advantages brought by height and arm show allow him to arrive first later. Without physical contact with his opponent, the cover can be completed to avoid excessive fouls. Moreover, his moving speed is very fast, which can bring timely defense to his teammates and even jump beyond three point line, causing obstacles to the opponent’s tossing.
Of course, Wen Banya Ma also has his own shortcomings. His figure is still relatively thin, which makes people worry about whether he can adapt to NBA-level confrontation. He must gain weight and be alert to the risk of injury.
In December 2020, Wen banyama had a stress fracture in his leg, a finger fracture in November 2021, and a scapular bone contusion in December 2021. although he had not suffered serious injuries, there were too many lessons after all.
In addition, his passing awareness and level need to be improved, and he cannot use his attack fire to attract defense and create opportunities for his teammates. Moreover, his hit rate is actually not high, the jump shot hit rate is 32.5%, the receive the ball jump shot hit rate is 32.4%, and the fengshui ball shot three-point shot percentage is only 20.7%! This may be quite different from many people’s impression of him.
Zebra is the cornerstone, Spurs want to rise?
After all, Wen banama is very young. Under the training of Popovich baby, great potential is expected to be released and shortcomings will be gradually improved. However, only one “Duncan” is not enough. If Spurs want to rise again, he still needs “Parker” and “Ginobili”.
In the era of GDP, Spurs is a big kill
Next season, Spurs is expected to discharge the starting line-up composed of Trey Jones, Devon Wassell, Kelden Johnson and Sohan. They are all very young and the biggest is only 23 years old, you can grow up with Wen banyama, and renewing Wassell is one of the main tasks during the offseason.
In addition, they have nearly 40 million salary space. In the next 7 years, there will be 5 first-round signatures, 9 second-round signatures and 2 second-round swap rights, plus some expired contracts, you can make a deal to strengthen the back court and find a defender who can feed the ball for Wen banyama. At the same time, sign a tough big man to shield Wen banyama from the wind and rain inside the line.
In a word, look at the excitement of Uncle Bobo after drawing the first prize sign, and you will know that Spurs has waited too long for this day. At least, they think Wen banyama has a chance to become the next Duncan!
