The 5’8” Japanese Guard That Bullied Victor Wembanyama



The 5’8” Japanese Guard That Bullied Victor Wembanyama

Despite the lack of size, Kawamura compensated for it by having the biggest heart in that match, and right from the opening tip, he let France and Wembanyama know as well as the rest of the Akatsuki Five – that they wouldn’t fold that easily.

  1. whats is problem there? ofc fast and short player can beat tall with speed..u ppl react like that was never seen hhahaha

  2. pocket size. kevin du-ront. lauri mar-kahn-nen. this isn't a real channel. are we paying someone to read names who's never heard of professional basketball players?

  3. Height doesn't matter about basketball. It depends on your skills level, strength, movement and how confident you are to play against taller players. Yuki is literally fearless of Wemby! He can beat Wemby!

  4. This Paris Olympics basketball game is one example that a host team used everything to win. Clearly there was no foul in that last play. And they ejected a Japanese player. What a shame. Japan won that game but France has 6 players( including that referee).

  5. He single-handedly putting an end to the height conversation and it's because of his clutch skills, quick footwork and otherworldly shooting.

  6. France were SO lucky the refs were on their team for that game. If ejecting Hachimura wasn't clear enough for ya the final call on Kawamura leaves absolutely no doubt

  7. What makes Yuki such a good player is that he really knows what his abilities are and he's not going to try to do something that he can't do. Also, not many people have that insane court vision and passing ability, especially in a crowded paint area. This guy's passing is really reminiscent of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Jason Kidd. His passing skills almost feels like they come from a bygone era. And you can't really teach this ability, you have to be able to anticipate where your teammate is going to be or at least have such good communication and trust in them that they know where to go and when.

    And I think what builds that trust is when you know the guy with the ball is going to pass to you, so I will then make the hard cut or I'll set the screen for the guy that will make the cut. Or I'll set the screen on the point guard, knowing that the pass will go to me, when I roll to the basket. For example, Karl Malone knows that when he sets a screen for John Stockton, and he rolls to the basket, Stockton will pass to him. If Malone didn't know he would get the pass, maybe he doesn't set that screen.

  8. Why this dude mispronouncing everything. Like fragrant and Durant. This some ai shit?
