Why does Wenban Yama look talented, but the feeling on the field is not as good as Duncan?

When he first entered the league, Wenban Yama often compared it with Duncan. Due to his outstanding talent, everyone hopes that he can surpass Duncan and help the team win the championship as soon as he comes to the Spurs.

However, to be honest, I think there is too much comparison between the two people. Let’s not talk about the different characteristics, but the current situation in the NBA is also different. It has been almost twenty years since then, and the style has changed significantly.

It is not very objective to compare the results horizontally. Moreover, Wenban Yama is also very unfortunate. She encountered deep vein thrombosis in her right shoulder at a young age and suffered injuries and was reimbursed for the season.

He failed to get the Spurs to get good results, and it is not his fault, the team itself is not that strong.

Duncan's words are different.

Duncan joined the Spurs, and Popovich, and Admiral David Robinson. The team still has many good players, and the overall strength framework is still there.

Before Duncan came to the Spurs, the Spurs were not bad even if they were a relatively strong team in the Western Conference, and they often made it to the playoffs in the early 1990s.

If the team hadn't been completely defeated due to injury, they might not have been able to get the No. 1 pick and choose Duncan.

is icing on the cake after coming, making up for the team's shortcomings in the inside, which also allowed them to establish the Spurs dynasty later.

Wenban Yama's side, his visit to the Spurs is a low point. Popovich is about to leave when he is old. Many of the players in the team are rookies, with insufficient experience and overall strength is not good.

No matter how talented the literary class is, he cannot say that the team can make a breakthrough by just one person and win the championship immediately, which is not realistic.

What really needs to be paid attention to is actually the problems shown by Wenban Yama's skills in terms of football skills.

From the scene, Wenban Yama is indeed very exciting, with good coordination of blocks, three-pointers and dribbling. She is known as the "large Durant", and her height and wingspan are beyond others, showing a relatively good talent.

However, there are still some limitations in him.

One is that in terms of physical confrontation, the strength is insufficient and the force cannot be moved. In the season just ended, the Spurs initially wanted Wenban Yama to play in the inside, play more low posts, use their height and strength to play in the inside, and play like Duncan.

After several games, I found that the effect was not good and the mistakes were frequent.

Insufficient strength caused him to often concede the ball when facing defensive players and have poor balance.

After several trials, I found that Wenban Yama's attack in the inside was not good, so the Spurs changed their strategy and allowed Wenban Yama to develop towards an outside player, allowing him to shoot 3 more points.

Since your strength is not good, don't force yourself to attack the basket. You can shoot 3 more points from the outside to help the team.

This change also prompted Wenban Yama's three-point shooting ratio to increase from 20.8% to 35.2%, and later it developed towards the trend of a swing forward.

In terms of the development of modern basketball, this strategy is also correct. A big man can shoot 3 points outside, which can open up space and will be of great help to the team.

Since you can't practice the inside first, then practice the outside first, which is also beneficial to the Wenban Yama. When the muscle strength is developed later, then go to the inside line to fight, and it will become a "big killer" with balanced internal and external conditions.

It can be seen that the Spurs are intentionally making Wenban Yama's skills more comprehensive.

In addition to the inability to fight physically and weak strength, Wenban Yama also has problems with position and rebounding position. Since his strength is not good, it will be difficult for him to compete with the opponent's strong players on the defensive end.

A little intensity will be increased, and Wenban Yama will be squeezed away and rebounds will not be able to occupy a favorable position.

Many times, Wenban Yama lost rebounds and had scenes of defense being knocked away by the opponent. If he hadn't been tall and had a long wingspan, he could make up for the blocking of the shot and defend himself, he might have been targeted by his opponent.

This is also a big difference between him and Duncan.

Duncan has sufficient core strength in the lower set, and his body is relatively strong on the defensive end. The opponent's players cannot move. He can provide assistance to the team under the basket through his defensive skills;

Wenban Yama is not good, Wenban Yama's single defense is not bad, but when changing defense or the opponent attacks the inside, he will suffer a loss and sometimes he will fall into a situation of too many fouls.

The strength is a fatal injury to Wenban Yama, which makes it difficult for him to dominate both offense and defense.

There is no way. This is the difference in physical conditions, and it cannot be made up for it in just one or two years. When Yao Ming first entered the NBA, he was also very thin and easily targeted in confrontation. After two or three seasons of growth, after practicing, he became confrontational and gradually became an excellent player in the NBA inside.

Wenban Yama's physical confrontation problem will take at least 2-3 seasons to solve. Considering that his thrombosis needs to be adapted, it is normal to delay it at this time.

I think Wenban Yama is around 23 years old, and in two years, his figure will gradually become fixed, which will be the golden period of his vigorous development.

Plus, the young men of Spurs Castle are gradually playing out. With experience, they can compete with other Western Conference strong teams at that time.

will make a breakthrough in the later stage.

So for Wenban Yama, everyone still needs to be patient and don’t have to hurry, it’s still early. He is only 21 years old this year and is still in his growth period. I believe he will be even better in the future.
