On October 27, in an NBA regular-season game, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Houston Rockets 109-106 at home, securing their first win of the season. In this game, Victor Wembanyama performed exceptionally well, shooting 10 for 17 from the field, including 2 for 5 from three-point range, and 7 for 8 from the free-throw line, scoring 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks. This was a significant improvement from his 5 for 18 performance in the first game. His key free throws were crucial in the Spurs’ victory.
In this game, Wembanyama quickly opened his scoring account with a three-pointer, including a deep one. He then continued to dominate inside with powerful dunks, helping the Spurs quickly build a lead. In the final stages of the game, as the Rockets tried to close the gap, Wembanyama consistently scored from the free-throw line. During the game, Wembanyama also displayed his toughness. In a confrontation with Dillon Brooks, Wembanyama showed no fear, nearly leading to a conflict.
In contrast, Shen Jing, who was matched up against Wembanyama, appeared overmatched by the sheer talent. Early in the game, Shen Jing struggled to score against Wembanyama and was largely ineffective throughout the game, being benched in the fourth quarter. He finished the game with only 2 for 8 shooting, scoring 6 points and grabbing 5 rebounds. The $185 million, five-year contract extension for this key player clearly shows a significant gap compared to Wembanyama.
