Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs says that he’s putting the work in to make his “fourth quarters feel like first quarters.”
That’s according to a new video shared by Nike Basketball, which features the exciting rookie player practicing an important drill on the court.
In the video, Wembanyama uses his immense size to block a shooter and then perfectly set himself up to receive the ball and post a shot of his own.
Apply that same pressure in the 4th quarter, just like it’s the 1st quarter @wemby’s game is built on outlasting all opponents. Come learn a thing or two about how the Nike G.T. Hustle 2 helps Victor Wembanyama be that two-way dog in his ‘G.T. Moves’ pic.twitter.com/IAj4DiNkw3

Wembanyama moves with ease and speed, which is encouraging for fans of the team.
He also says that he wants to be the sort of player who can outlast his opponents.
“If the competition is more tired than I am, then I’m good,” Wembanyama states in the video.
It won’t be hard for him to tire out his opponents.
With his incredibly long legs, it doesn’t take as much for the young French player to make his way up and down the court.
His competitors have to work extra hard to keep up with him.
Wembanyama notes that he is working on his stamina and endurance, which is also what San Antonio fans want to hear.
During his brief stint in the Summer League, Wembanyama looked a bit tired and winded at times.
He was adjusting to the pace of the NBA and now he needs to be ready for the pace of a regular-season game against experienced veterans looking to minimize him.
Since the Summer League, Wembanyama has been in the gym a lot, preparing his body for the long season ahead.
But he’s also been preparing his mind, working with coaches and his other players so that he can be the best player possible.
In just a few weeks, fans will see if it all paid off.
