Victor Wembanyama is not letting a tough Game 1 performance shake his confidence.
The San Antonio Spurs star vowed to bounce back after a difficult night against the New York Knicks defense.
Wembanyama finished with a double-double of 26 points and 12 rebounds, but he shot just 28.6% from the field.
The Knicks used a combination of Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson to disrupt the 7'5" center's rhythm.
Despite the struggles, Wembanyama remains unfazed. "I'm gonna figure it out.
I was bad tonight. It's not more complicated than that," he said.
"I'm not worried the slightest."
The rookie emphasized that he knows what he needs to improve for Game 2.
His mindset is a key asset for the Spurs as they face the pressure of the NBA Finals.
Wembanyama is determined to show why he is considered one of the league's premier players on the biggest stage.
