"Can Kiss that MVP Award Goodbye" - NBA Fans Humble Victor Wembanyama After Single-Digit Scoring Game in First Loss

After his first bad game of the season, NBA fans are already removing Victor Wembanyama from MVP contention. Wembanyama was limited to single digits by a tenacious Phoenix Suns team on Sunday. The Suns also handed the San Antonio Spurs their first loss of the season, 130-118. Suns coach Jordan Ott had a fantastic game plan for Wembanyama, who was limited to just nine points, nine rebounds and four blocks in 34 minutes. The Suns didn't use a big lineup, but they blitzed Wembanyama on the post with consistent double teams.The Suns also made perfect reads, making the right rotations on defense and controlling the speed of the game. It seemed like Ott has given the NBA a blueprint on how to slow down Wembanyama, who was tearing apart teams on both ends of the floor before Sunday's dud. Some NBA fans were quick to dismiss Victor Wembanyama's chances of taking home this season's MVP award. Wembanyama was among the favorites to win after starting the season on fire, looking dominant in the paint and not taking many jump shots.Let's look at some of the comments that are ready to count out the "Alien" for MVP campaign.

He was getting doubled, tripled and even quadrupled-teamed at times during the game, so it's up to the coaching staff and his teammates to make plays on the fly.

However, Ott is also known for being a great basketball mind, which is why he was sought after in the offseason.Ott showed his game planning by slowing down Victor Wembanyama on Sunday. The Suns were able to make things tough for the 7-foot-5 big man, surrounding him with players in a quick manner while also preventing his teammates from making an impact.Speaking to reporters after the game, Ott commented on how the Suns managed to stop Wemby. "It’s a tough cover," Ott said, according to ClutchPoints' Hayden Cilley. "Puts a lot of pressure on your team, so do the rest of those guys… great job by the group. Taking care of our own beat, which is what we’ve been hammering since day one."The Spurs are back in action on Wednesday against the LA Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena.
