Victor Wembanyama says Spurs have learned to be relentless

Victor Wembanyama, the star player for the San Antonio Spurs, believes his team has developed a crucial "relentless" quality during their maiden NBA playoffs appearance. He expressed optimism about their chances of winning the championship in their rookie postseason.

"My bet is that it is possible to win," Wembanyama stated during a press conference ahead of Game 4 of the NBA Finals. "The most important thing we have learned is to be relentless, besides covering yourself with your hands and not your chin and hitting below the head, if you do it," he added with a touch of humor.

The Spurs are currently trailing the New York Knicks 2-1 in the Finals, having lost the first two games on their home court in San Antonio. They are aiming to level the series at 2-2 in Wednesday's Game 4.

Wembanyama, who is 22 years old, acknowledged the excitement of playing in both home and away arenas. "I like lively crowds and active fans both at home and away. At home, it's extra motivation because you want to give a good show to the people who support you. Away from home, you want to do the exact opposite," he suggested.

He was instrumental in the Spurs' 115-111 victory over the Knicks in Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, contributing 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and three blocks. This performance highlighted his growing impact on the team's playoff run.
