The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new generation beats the old! NBA is a league where heroes come out in large numbers. From Jordan to Kobe to Lao James, there are always talented young people emerging and becoming the signature and face of the league! At the age of 39, Lao Zhan is still active in the spotlight and writing his own legend. This season, Lao Zhan just passed the 40,000-point mark and also completed the 411 Project. After Lao James, who can take over the torch from him and become the new face of the league? The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom!
In the past few years, many unparalleled talents have emerged in the league, and they are all regarded as Lao Zhan's successors. For example, Lang Zion, the No. 1 pick of the Pelicans, , Pang Hu amazed the world as soon as he landed in the NBA, but his explosive play is a double-edged sword, damaging Pang Hu's knees and affecting Pang Hu's attendance rate. In order to extend his career, Fat Tiger had to restrain his playing skills. The enjoyment and dominance of the game were not as good as before. Now he can't even make the All-Star lineup. Another example is Doncic of of the Mavericks. He was at the top of his game when he debuted. He is handsome and can play well. At a young age, he has collected honors such as the best team and the all-star starting lineup. He is also regarded as the strongest after Lao James. The ball-holding core has the innate conditions to become Lao Zhan's successor.
However, Doncic has always been unable to defeat top players such as Jokic, Embiid, and Antetokounmpo in the MVP battle. This has more or less affected the speed and expectations of Doncic taking over from James. More importantly, Doncic's performance on the defensive end has always been criticized. It seems difficult for him to become the kind of league icon like Jordan, Kobe, and Lao James who can give his all and be impeccable on both offense and defense. What's even more difficult is that Lao Zhan has not yet stepped down from the altar, Doncic has not yet taken over the torch, and another talented young man has emerged. This person is the 2023 champion Lang Wenban Yama!
As we all know, Spurs character is the unique wealth of the league. Since the establishment of the team, the Spurs have only messed up three times. The first time they messed up was to get the No. 1 pick and select David Robinson. The second time they messed up was to get the No. 1 pick and select Duncan. The third time they messed up was to get the No. 1 pick and select Duncan. In order to hit the No. 1 pick, choose Bunyama. It is not difficult to see from this how much the Spurs value Wenbanyama, and how good Wenbanyama is. In the words of fans, Bunyama is like a light, illuminating the Spurs' road to rebuilding glory in the next 20 years!
In the new season, Popovich's use of Bunyama is very restrained and scientific, but this still cannot cover up Bunyama's light. So far, Bunyama has played 69 games, averaging only 29.5 minutes per game, averaging 21.3 points + 10.7 rebounds + 3.8 assists + 1.3 steals + 3.6 blocks (first in the league) + 1.8 three-pointers! Among them, for example, when playing Raptors , Bunyama contributed 27 points + 14 rebounds + 10 blocks; when playing Knicks , Bunyama scored 40 points + 20 rebounds + 7 assists; when playing Nuggets , Wenban Yama scored 23 points + 15 rebounds + 8 assists + 9 blocks; playing 76人, Wenban Yama scored 33 points + 18 rebounds + 7 blocks + 5 three-pointers. At the same time, Bunyama also broke many god-level NBA records in his rookie season!
According to statistics from the NBA official website, Bunyama is the first player in the NBA in the past 50 years to score at least 30 points, 5 blocks, and 5 three-pointers in a single game. At the same time, Bunyama scored at least 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, and 5 three-pointers twice in a single game this season, the most in NBA history. Only Horry had accomplished such an achievement once before. What's even more amazing is that Bunyama's 48 step-back three-pointers this season have hit 47.9%, ranking first among centers; Bunyama has sent at least 5+ blocks in a single game 23 times this season, the most in the league. , the second-ranked Daluo has only accomplished this achievement 9 times. This is Bunyama, the omnipotent hexagonal warrior, capable of both inside and outside, attack and defense, and the future is promising!
There is no doubt that due to Bunyama's unique offensive and defensive dominance, the best rookie award has long lost its suspense.But for Bunyama, the Rookie of the Year trophy may be just the starting point of his glorious career. He still has a lot of work to do and many challenges waiting for him to complete. The whole world knows that he is no ordinary man, but The whole world doesn’t know where the upper limit of Wenban Yama is! In the words of Teacher Yue, Wenbanyama is gifted, eager to win, hard-working and humble. The combination of these qualities destined him to be extraordinary. All in all, the literary class is loved by thousands of people, and he must be the successor of Lao Zhan! Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
