San Antonio Spurs (DR) / Oklahoma City Thunder (DR)
By Pierre-Andréa Fraile | Sports journalist
Ineligible to receive the slightest individual reward because of a total of matches played insufficient this season, Victor Wembanyama nevertheless risks having the monopoly of one of them in the years to come. What irritate a pillar of the Thunder.
Statistics may seem unreal, but sums up the gap which separates it from its main competitors in the field. Absent from the NBA prosecution since February 12, Victor Wembanyama ended for the second consecutive year … Best bastor in the League. With 176 blocks, he is indeed ahead of his dolphin in this ranking, Brook Lopez (148), and seems on another planet.
Problem: he will not be able to use this argument to claim the defender trophy of the year. Unfortunately only played 46 games before a venous thrombosis was diagnosed with him, he was therefore declared ineligible to any individual reward. His defensive prowess should allow him to win the award on numerous occasions in his career.
Victor Wembanyama Promis Au Dpoy, Lu Dort S Hak
Favorite in the race for Dpoy before being dismissed, Wembanyama is already announced as a multiple winner of this distinction. His rivals are struggling to digest this and do not hide their frustration. So, When one denounces a political schemeLuguentz Dort regrets that the rear is not put forward more for their defense. He explains at a press conference:
Lu sleeps: Many people tend to say that the game has evolved, and it also concerns defense. Now it is no longer just to counter shots near the circle. So many teams set up systems that take place only outside with guys who enjoy screens, pin-downs and all these things. And all of this is difficult to defend.
This is the only thing I would like to highlight. Many things are now going on the perimeter and no longer only around the basket. And I believe that many rear deserves more recognition towards this trophy.
A complaint which directly concerns its author, renowned for his defense but which is still waiting to be rewarded for his efforts in the field.
The trophy should also escape him again this year and return once again to a big man. Indeed, based on the first votes unveiled publicly, Evan Mobley and Draymond Green appear as the two main favorites in this struggle. Sleeps, he was acclaimed by Kendrick Perkins or Bennett Durando du Denver Post But seems to go towards a new disillusionment.
Tired of seeing the interiors honored for their protection of the circle, Luguentz Dort demands greater respect for the defensive efforts of the rear in the current NBA. A speech that echoes the announced hegemony of Victor Wembanyama.
