A video spreads like wildfire on social networks. It’s a ‘compact’ – better images – of Victor Wembanyama blocking everyone. To any player. His favorite? He has also plugged it. ‘Wemby’ has played 52 games in the league, averaging 3.2 blocks in addition to 20.7 points and 10.1 rebounds. His course is brutal, and Wembanyama goes straight to the rookie of the year in addition to establishing himself as the great ‘alien’ of the future. There’s only one thing missing: win more games. It is the pending task.
Martian play of the Wembanyama alien: height plug and self-help to board
Because the Spurs have a record of 11-48 after falling to the best team in the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves (114-105). Wembanyama was not at all good (17 points, 13 rebounds, 4 blocks… but with a 38.5% accuracy rate). Stopped by another giant, Rudy Gobertand understanding how to lead a team with difficulties to compete more and better against the league’s references.
As soon as they put the ball in play we went for it

Minnesota figured him out. “As soon as they put the ball in play, whether it was Wembanyama or another player, we went for it. We attacked him. Shows shows activity. “That’s what we’ve been talking about lately,” explained Chris Finch, Wolves coach. Attack him, regardless of his physical superiority. And so the Spurs’ big wound is ‘pecked’.
Wembanyama jumps to block Edwards.
In this way, San Antonio incurred its big problem of the course: turnovers. “We have conceded 30 points due to turnovers, that is the final result. Every time it happens to us they ‘kick’ us in the butt. It happened again. Everything else is irrelevant. The previous game… 34 points for losses. It is what it is,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich explained.
Because Wembanyama is exceptional. A unique player. Defensively, a force above the rim that can stop any player. In attack, a diamond that if polished correctly will continue to lead. Something else is missing and that is the job of the Spurs.
