The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Texas rival Dallas Mavericks 125-92 in the away game of the opening NBA regular league game of the 2025-2026 season at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on the 23rd (Korea time).
It was a stage where you can see how powerful Wembanyama has transformed.
He scored 40 points and 15 rebounds on the day. There was not a single error.
Dallas has the league's best big man, Anthony Davis, and Derek Lively II, who boasts a very strong defense. However, it was not enough for Wembanyama.
He took advantage of his overwhelming physical conditions and dominated the basket perfectly. On the outside, they showed more flexible dribbling ability and shooting selection. He also worked perfectly with rookie guards such as Stephen Castle and Derek Harper. He showed off his skills overwhelmingly while keeping up with San Antonio's precise pattern.
Dallas collapsed in vain. Dallas was the debut of Cooper Flag, the No. 1 rookie draft player on the day, but it did not play much in Wembanyama's frenzy.
In particular, the scene of blocking Flag's under-the-goal breakthrough and the scene of getting a foul while making a three-point stepback shot after a flexible dribble in front of Lively II was overwhelming.
Wembanyama was named the No. 1 overall rookie draft in 2023. The French national was called 'Alien' due to his tall height of 2m24, excellent speed, and dribbling skills. LeBron James, who was considered to have the best potential when he was a rookie, is different from Wembley. He is a new type of player and the potential is overwhelming. It's like a unicornmade an evaluation of '
He has an overwhelming wing span of 2m44. Since he was a rookie, he has been said to be at the top of the league in defense, and eventually won the block title for the second consecutive time. He also won the Rookie of the Year award.
Last season's defender of the year was a big deal. However, he underwent surgery for deep vein thrombosis, a shoulder thrombosis, and ended his second season in February.
He made an unusual move in the offseason. He shaved his head at Shaolin Temple in China and had a meditation session for 10 days, and honed his more flexible pivot at the Hakim School run by Hakim Olajuwon.
His weaknesses were not strong power and inaccurate outside shots. However, he bulked up steadily. He strengthened his power by increasing muscle mass by about 14 kg for two years, and he was equipped with more flexible steps.
In the end, Wembanyama dominated the game perfectly in the opening round. San Antonio emerged as the dark horse of the West perfectly. In addition, the MVP game has completely changed.
