No. 1 in the league, No. 1 in the league, a superstar is born! Powerful teams disrupt the Western Conference, and the dark horse of the NBA quietly appears.

Doncic and James, the two super giants of the Lakers, are recuperating from injuries.

The NBA regular season is in full swing. The new season has started for nearly a week, and there is a lot to watch. Although stars such as LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, and Jaylen Williams are injured, and Jayson Tatum, Haliburton, and Lillard are out for the season due to injuries, many superstars still continue to perform strongly.

Maxi continues to break out, and the 76ers lead the Eastern Division with a record of 4 wins and 0 losses. Under the leadership of Mitchell, the Cavaliers achieved 3 consecutive victories and continued to maintain strong competitiveness. The Bulls and Heat have suddenly emerged. The two teams focus on teamwork, and both have achieved 3 consecutive victories, which is eye-catching.

Giannis Antetokounmpo recently won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award. The Bucks, led by Antetokounmpo, still have strong immediate combat capabilities. The strength of the star-studded Knicks cannot be underestimated. The Celtics, the winning team, and the Pacers, who advanced to the Finals last season, are ranked fourth and second from the bottom respectively, which is quite surprising.

The competition in the Western Division is even more intense. Double MVP Alexander led the remnant Thunder to a 5-game winning streak, and OKC led the league in record and rankings. As the defending champion, the Thunder still have high hopes this season. The Warriors led by Curry and the Nuggets led by Jokic have both achieved two consecutive victories. The two teams still maintain the character of top teams. The Rockets, Clippers, and Mavericks are working on adjusting their lineups, but their results are not as good as expected.

However, with the emergence of superstars and the emergence of top teams, the pattern of the Western Division has been disrupted. The NBA's super dark horse has also begun to rise.

No. 1 in the league, No. 1 in the league, a superstar is born! Powerful teams disrupt the Western Conference, and the NBA's dark horse quietly appears!

Bunbanyama has made great progress this season. He averaged a super double-double of 31 points, 13.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 4.8 blocks per game this season. Bunyama's scoring average ranks eighth in the league, proving that he is already a top scorer. In addition, Bunyama's rebounds per game ranks fourth in the league, only slightly lower than the three top insiders, Jokic, Sabonis, and Antetokounmpo. Bunyama's four statistics of points, rebounds, steals, and blocks are all career highs. At the same time, Bunyama’s field goal percentage of 60.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 36.4% are also career highs.

Spurs Wenbanyama

As a low-post killer, Wenbanyama's long-range shooting efficiency is still improving, which makes him more difficult to defend. As the tallest active player in the league, the 2.26-meter-tall Wenbanyama not only has excellent inside finishing skills, but is also proficient in the defender's outside ball-holding singles skills. Wenbanyama can be called a bug on the court. He can score both inside and outside. Within half the court, it was Wenbanyama’s scoring area.

It is worth noting that Bunyama also ranks first in the league in two statistics. 1. Wenban Yama averaged 4.8 blocks per game, ranking first in the league. Second, the US media The Lead listed a defensive statistic, ranking the players with the lowest field goal percentage (defending at least 35 shots) when defending against each other this season, with Bunyama (29.7%) ranking first.

Bunbanyama is the top defender in the NBA

These two statistics mean that Bunyama has been promoted to a super defensive expert in the NBA. Wenbanyama's powerful blocking can affect the opponent's offensive method and greatly reduce the number of times the opponent attacks the basket. Moreover, Bunyama, who has long arms, outstanding athletic ability, excellent agility and coordination, can expand the defensive range from the paint area to beyond the three-point line, which allows opponents to feel his super defensive pressure even more.

Bunban Yama, who has evolved into the league's top insider, also has the best defensive strength currently in service. Wenban Yama has become a strong contender for multiple awards such as MVP, DPOY, scoring, rebounding, and blocks this season. It has to be said that Bunyama has achieved the emergence of a superstar.

Bunbanyama has made rapid progress

Bunbanyama recently won the NBA Western Conference Player of the Week award. His continued outrageousness and highlight performance have aroused heated discussions among his peers and the media.

Warriors star Draymond Green talked about Bunyama in "The Draymond Green Show". He said: "If he (Vinbanyama) maintains this rhythm and this level, he will win MVP, DPOY, and MIP (Most Improved Player). He can sweep these three top honors."

The famous commentator Patrick Perkins said in "NBA" Today" program talked about Bunyama, he said: "15 to 20 years later, the discussion about GOAT will be Jordan, James and Bunyama...".

It seems that Bunyama’s superstar performance this season has conquered his opponents and the media.

What needs attention is that under the leadership of Bunyama, the Spurs have also achieved a strong rise and disrupted the pattern of the Western Division. San Antonio has a record of 4 wins and 0 losses this season, ranking second in the league and second in the Western Conference, second only to the top-ranked Thunder.

Ban Yama leads the Spurs to rise

San Antonio's current ranking is superior to the Warriors (4 wins and 1 loss, third in the Western Conference) and Nuggets (2 wins and 1 loss, fourth in the Western Conference) ), Clippers (2 wins and 2 losses, 6th in the Western Conference), Lakers (2 wins and 2 losses, 7th in the Western Conference), Rockets (1 win and 2 losses, 11th in the Western Conference), Mavericks (1 win and 3 losses, 14th in the Western Conference) and other Western Conference giants and favorites to win the championship. Being able to rank second in the Western Conference with so many strong teams is enough to prove the absolute strength of St. Anthony. I have to say that the Spurs' strong performance this season is really eye-catching. They have become the biggest dark horse in the new season.

The rise of the Spurs has also made the competition for playoff tickets in the Western Division even more fierce. In addition to the Jazz, who aim to train young players, there may be as many as 14 teams in the West that have the strength to make the playoffs. The Spurs, who have missed the playoffs for six consecutive years, may return to the playoffs in the new season and achieve a comeback. The pattern of the Western Division has been completely disrupted.

What the Spurs players need to pay attention to is that the tacit understanding between Bunyama and his teammates is still improving. According to well-known reporter Evan Sidery, Vunbanyama and Harper were very efficient on the court at the same time, and the team's performance was significantly better. When Bunyama and Harper are on the court together, they outscore their opponents by 43.2 points per 100 possessions. Their offensive efficiency when on the court is 121.8 (4th in the league), defensive efficiency is 78.6 (1st in the league), and net efficiency is +43.2 (1st in the league).

Although San Antonio has many young players, their progress is very rapid. The Thunder, which has many young talents, won the NBA championship last season. The Spurs, who are more talented overall, still have the opportunity to continue to improve their immediate combat effectiveness and ranking after veterans De'Aaron Fox, Olynyk, and Cornette, as well as strongman Sohan return from injury.

It seems that the Spurs, who have been dormant for many years, will finally make a low-key rise this season under the leadership of Bunyama. The Spurs, as the dark horse of the NBA, have quietly made their debut.
