Thunder’s Chet Holmgren isn’t giving away any secrets for containing Victor Wembanyama

Chet Holmgren kept his mouth shut when it comes to the defensive approach that he and the Oklahoma City Thunder have towards San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama in the Western Conference Finals.

Holmgren is going through the fourth year of his young NBA career, progressing in his third postseason. He hopes to help the Thunder defend their place at the throne after winning the championship last year. They hope to be the first team to repeat since the Golden State Warriors pulled that off in 2017 and 2018.

Holmgren assisted the Thunder to get to the West Finals so far this playoffs, sweeping the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers. They are now in an intriguing series against the Spurs, were Holmgren himself has to constantly deal with Wembanyama.

The Oklahoma City center had trouble at first, seeing Wembanyama have a historic display in Game 1 at his expense. Since then, the Thunder have taken control by winning Games 2 and 3, seeing better form from Holmgren.

Holmgren spoke with media ahead of Game 4 on Saturday, per reporter Clemente Almanza. When it comes explaining how Oklahoma City has kept Wembanyama, the star center chose not to spoil the real defensive tactic that has given them some success in the last two games.

“Yeah sorry. No gameplan stuff,” Holmgren said.
