Over the past year, wenbanyama has been one of the most popular players in NBA. Although he didn’t play a formal match, he was considered to have a historical talent, and the potential limit may even exceed LeBlanc.
On the Internet, there are not many NBA stars who have greater influence than Wen Banya Ma. In order to see his ruling style, the French league which has never had much presence in FIBA is crowded with American coaches, the Scouts and the business team, even the top superstars like mbap, couldn’t help hitting the heat on the spot.
In fact, wenbanama has already ended the suspense of this year’s NBA draft. San Antonio, who drew the first prize last month, has already begun to celebrate. To a large extent, these grand events covered up Wen banyama’s depressed performance in the finals of France A. His team was swept by opponents from 0 to 3, his average game data was 16.3 points 7.0 rebounds 2.7 assists 3 cap.
A few days ago, Wen Banya Ma just landed in the United States and got a warm welcome from the football fan pick-up group. The treatment was like rock Sky group. Some experts said that it would not be an accident if he signed a nine-digit sneaker endorsement contract, which would make him surpass the 90 million contract between LeBlanc and Nike and create a new record for the endorsement of Rookie sneakers.
However, behind the full operation of the star-making machine, it is a hidden worry that many experts and fans have not said anything. Wenbanyama is not LeBlanc. He is a super giant over two meters tall, which means endless hidden dangers of injury. Considering the appearance of Zion Williamson, the last champion known as “basketball Titan”, Wen banyama’s talent and his great prospect in NBA can not be easily fulfilled with his eyes closed.
In these two days, Garnett and Pierce, two old friends, were on the show because of the topic of Zion.
Garnett praised Wen banama’s talent as much as that of the alphabet brother and jokich, and insisted that Zion had “epoch-making talent”. Seeing that he was now on the wall of public opinion, Garnett was indignant: “Why are these bastards so patient with enbyd and brother alphabet?”
This kind of emotion didn’t infect Pierce at all. He said with a little indifference, “I don’t think Zion’s talent belongs to epoch-making level.”
Garnett went over without thinking: “Do you have a big brain for XX? Have you ever seen a star with the shape and talent of Zion?”
Pierce murmured, “Sean camp, Charles Barkley……”

Since the era of social media, Zion has been one of the biggest traffic stars in NBA.
In 2016, Kobe played his farewell season, and LeBlanc won the Young Pioneer Team history championship for the Cavaliers. 16-year-old Zion played an average of 36.8 points and 13 rebounds in the senior three season, 2.5 cap 3 steals, his various dunk cap videos also began to spread viral on the Internet.
At that time, he smiled proudly in an interview and said, “People always ask me if I am fake at my age. I said that I am really 16 years old, but they should still not believe it.”
The height of 2 meters 01 and the weight of 108 kilograms really made him a monster in the high school field. Facing his rivals of the same age, his advantage in the confrontation was rolling level. People began to describe his talent as “O’Neal who has a guard skill package”. Even John Wall was amazed when he saw his online highlights: “He is one of the most talented high school players I have ever seen, and this dunk level should be the strongest after Carter.”
The cover is also very unreasonable
Later Durant also praised Zion as a “gifted epoch-making athlete”. When Zion was in the last year of Duke University, an American media said, “even if you have never seen college basketball, I should have heard the name of this young man. If you are a basketball fan who went online in the summer of 2019, you must be bombarded by various highlights of Zion every day.”
Just like ESPN set up a heat channel for LeBlanc at the beginning, CBS added a “Zion exclusive seat” when broadcasting the crazy March match to record his every move on the court.
The battle between Duke and the old enemy of North Carolina was fired at a high price that year, with the highest price breaking 10,000 and the lowest price being 3,000 dollars per piece. The soaring popularity of Duke’s away game was almost the same as that of the warriors who were in the middle of the day. The famous shoe explosion incident later made Nike’s share price evaporate nearly 3 billion dollars overnight.
Everything made the draft of 2019 lose suspense early. After Pelican won the first prize, ticket sales soared immediately, with 20 live broadcasts nationwide. From the opening ceremony to the Christmas battle, all were leading roles.

Zion also dug up the first bucket of gold and signed a 5-year 75 million-year sneakers contract, second only to Le Browne in 2003. Even in the preseason, experts from all walks of life are using magnifying glasses to study his data and playing methods, which is amazing for his efficiency in attacking the basket.
In a preseason match in 2019, Zion scored 29 points in 12 shots in 27 minutes.
The media said that he might be a star never seen before in this league. Like the former LeBlanc and now wenbanyama, Zion has carried unrealistic expectations. Now, looking back, he is popular on the whole network with high light, in the end, it may become a genius who only lives in highlights.
Last year, someone reissued the highlight of Zion, with more than 25 million clicks. The content was only the moment when he picked the rebound from the letter brother’s head.

Before the rookie season of Zion really started, the injury broke a basin of cold water for the enthusiastic expectation of the outside world. He suffered a tear of the menisci in his right knee in preseason and needed surgery. It was not until the end of January 2020 that he really ushered in his first show.
Zion on the court was indeed amazing. Although the playing time was severely limited, his explosive power of winning 17 points in the last three minutes shocked the world. The fans on the scene shouted out the slogan of “MVP” like a tsunami.
It was also in that game that Zion had to go off the bike when he was resting. When he was full of talent, the Pelican medical team was constantly asking the manager kintry to replace Zion and not take risks. In the end, even though he had been begging on the bench, Zion still failed to play the last 5 minutes.
After the competition, Morante, the same ranking show, sent a congratulatory message to encourage Zion to make persistent efforts. Now both of them are becoming social news figures. It is no wonder that even Parkins hates iron and steel, saying that the new generation of American stars have become like this and how they can compete with international players.
But the excitement that zion brought to the whole new orleans at that time-more and more media and fans would arrive in advance to wait for the warm-up of zion-gave pelicans a good opportunity to reshape the team culture, on the contrary, losing Davis has become an opportunity of “inbreaking”. Zion will certainly help them seamlessly connect and open a new era. (Davis didn’t have any bad feelings about this place either. He returned to New Orleans for the first time after the transaction and specially found Zion to wish him a healthy recovery as soon as possible.)
The 2020-21 season was the most stable year for Zion to play, and he was naturally selected as an all-star. However, during the off-season period, his right foot had another problem and Jones was found to have a fracture and was forced to undergo surgery.
The reason for his injury was not only strange, but also the information released by Pelican was full of contradictions and puzzling. At first, he said that Xi ‘an could catch up with the opening match of the regular season, and later he said that Xi ‘an would return in December, after NBA Christmas wars, Zion still couldn’t play, many fans had begun to complain.
At this time, the existing cracks in the management of Zion and Pelican continued to expand. During his long period of recuperation, the media reported that Pelican believed that Zion was not good at figure control, which triggered doubts about the professionalism of Zion. Although their reported weight has been around 127 kilograms, the actual weight of Zion may have been close to 140 kilograms.
Zion probably did not disclose the details of the injury to Pelican, so that Pelican could not determine his recovery progress. It was only a matter of time before the conflict occurred. Soon there were reports that the Zion family wanted him to leave the pelican. They felt that fan was too strict with him, and even Zion’s brokerage company began to do things.
Simmons broke the news: the brokerage company of zion stated that Pelican would lose zion sooner or later.
The root of these dissatisfaction may be traced back to the injury of Zion’s rookie season. Pelican shortened his recovery plan (at first he announced six to eight weeks of recuperation, and finally he took three months off) and strictly controlled his playing time after his comeback, which made him very disgusted, that gradually lost the trust in the medical team. But in fact, it was not clear why he was injured at that time. He suddenly informed the medical team that his right knee felt uncomfortable and found the problem after examination.
Last season, Zion still carried high expectations after his comeback. The opening match led the team to win Durant and Owen’s basketable nets. Immediately someone imagined their match in the finals. Of course, NBA likes to see this. Compared with Nuggets against the Heat, this kind of showdown is really high in commercial value, unfortunately, the later experiences and endings of these protagonists can only be described by absurdity.
By the beginning of this year, Zion’s right leg was injured again, and the pelican was covered up again. It was not until the trade deadline that the news of his aggravated injury in training was announced, and the result was the season reimbursement. At this point, the injury has been very aggressive against Zion. At the end of the season, rumors about his trade suddenly started. Even though pelicans are not likely to touch him at present, but this signal is generally regarded as the beginning of the sale of Zion.
Nowadays, the contrast between Zion and LeBlanc has long been mentioned. The brand of LeBlanc is the product of the right place and the right place. It is difficult for NBA to create a star who knows how to deal with pressure calmly and can surpass the expectation that was already high to unrealistic. The lesson of Zion is that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The operation mode of this star-making machine often eats people without spitting bones, which is really unfair to the players.
Not everyone can be a LeBlanc, but NBA is really eager to find the next LeBlanc. Perhaps on talent alone, Zion is not much worse than bielbrown. Their young reputation is completely based on physical talent, but the difference is that LeBlanc understands that to gain a firm foothold in this alliance, what is needed is much more effort than talent. In the past four years, the talent foundation of Zion has been completely shaken by injuries. The recent peach scandal also shows that besides exercise ability, the development of Zion on other personal levels, maybe they are not really ready for NBA at all.
Garnett’s support and sympathy for him is therefore not incomprehensible, resulting in this kind of outrageous out-of-control situation. There are psychological barriers and many things that Zion cannot control. However, he is still young now. It may be too late to rebuild himself.
But this is just a possibility. NBA has aimed magnesium light at the new Unicorn and the new “alien”. This is LeBlanc’s own evaluation of Wen banyama. Even he cooperated with the narrative of the league, he said he had never seen anyone with such a special talent combination.
In any case, being selected by Spurs must be a good start-although Leonard’s precedent tells us that not all stars are willing to buy the “culture” set Spurs-Goda Takeshi is already cold, here we can only wish the zebra good luck along the way.
