NBA – Wembanyama was tackled by Rudy Gobert’s teammate: “I see him as food…
Victor Wembanyama is always the main topic of discussion among his opponents. Evidence, 24 hours after the shock against the Timberwolves, Rudy Gobert’s teammate launched a beautiful tackle inside the French team.
At the beginning of the season, Victor Wembanyama quickly established himself as an excellent defender. Large and well-directed, he is especially known for his ability to fight back against smaller attackers, even when he is lightly beaten. But like all young players in the NBA, he’s still not perfect and has to learn, as evidenced by his game against the Wolves.

Naz Reid gets Victor Wembanyama!
In just a moment of hesitation, Naz Reid completely lost Victor Wembanyama and scored two easy points for himself. If that action didn’t necessarily cause a stir at the time, Rudy Gobert’s teammates added another layer the next day by seriously mocking the young Frenchman and all the other insiders in the tournament .

Like I said before, I see everyone as food.
Usually, opponents are quite surprised by Victor Wembanyama’s size and some even appear terrified when they find themselves in the paint opposite him. But Naz Reid did not have the slightest doubt when attacking him, he saw him as a simple post to pass easily. In fact, that’s how he sees all NBA interiors.
If Rudy Gobert is the homemaker who receives the most compliments in Minnesota, if Anthony Edwards is a young superstar loved by everyone, then Naz Reid also plays an important role in the team’s success. As a classy substitute in the bat, he brings quite exciting scoring qualities and allows for great rotational attacks. He has abilities that back up his verbal provocations.
Naz Reid doesn’t see Victor Wembanyama as a threat in the paint, but as a tasty treat that he can easily enjoy. Let’s hope that the Frenchman will remember this provocation and take revenge.
