Unbelievable! Zero points in the fourth quarter of the Finals! The first player to be ranked first on the FMVP list for two consecutive finals series.

An NBA official review report states: Wembanyama’s move of pressing Brunson’s head from behind in Game 3 of the Finals was a missed call, but it will not be upgraded to a flagrant foul.

Per the regulations, a player who receives a total of 4 flagrant foul points during a single playoff run will be automatically banned for one game.

Since the press on Brunson was not upgraded to a flagrant foul, Wembanyama still has only 2 flagrant foul points, which came from a previous flagrant foul for elbowing Reid’s neck in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves.

To be fair, even just for the Spurs to move forward smoothly, Wembanyama must control his emotions. Another flagrant foul would result in a suspension. This postseason, he has had several highly controversial actions, which have also negatively affected his personal reputation.

So far in this Finals, the Spurs trail the Knicks 1–2. Over this period, Wembanyama has averaged a spectacular 29 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks per game—the first player since Shaquille O’Neal in 2001 to achieve such averages in the first three games of an NBA Finals.

It is particularly worth mentioning that The NBA officially released the third edition of the Finals FMVP rankings, with Wembanyama rising to second, Towns taking the top spot, and Brunson only placing third...

Don’t be surprised, because in the second edition of the FMVP list, Towns was also at the top.

Through this Finals, Towns has averaged 16.7 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, but he has failed to score a single point in the fourth quarter of these three games—Game 1: 1-for-0 shooting, Game 2: 1-for-0, and Game 3: 4-for-0. As a result, outsiders have criticized his teammate Brunson for not passing more and playing team ball, as Brunson attempted a total of 25 shots in the fourth quarters of these three Finals games.

Statistics show that in this Finals, Brunson has taken at least 25 shots per game. Over three games, he made 30 of 81 shots (approximately 37%) for 82 points, while also dishing out 13 assists but committing 13 turnovers.

No championship, no FMVP—you know what I mean. (Insert doge face manually)
