In quick succession, we had to endure an offensive and then defensive betrayal from Wemby. In 48 hours, our hope of seeing the Frenchman's second season in the NBA turn into a daydream was cynically destroyed. It took us several days, even weeks, to forget and forgive. But no, instead we only had 48 hours of rest.
Wemby's nightmare night with Spurs
Against the Washington Wizards, Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs tied the game until the break (67-67). But let the players of the American capital enjoy it, because the Texan whirlwind will soon sweep them away. From the third quarter, the Spurs crushed the Wizards (41-24). So yes, we could stop there and tell you that the Texans pocketed one more victory in this regular season (139-130). But our professional duty requires us to tell you the terms. Even when they are annoying to hear.
In fact, more than a third of San Antonio's points were scored by a single man. And worst of all, he is French. You understood it from the beginning, but we can't write it down, the pain is still much too strong. Victor Wembanyama a inscrit 50 pointsbeating his previous NBA record (40 points). In just 30 minutes, the reigning Rookie of the Year made 8 three-pointers, breaking another personal record. At 20 years and 314 days old, Wemby already has his benchmark for capital insults. He thus becomes the second Frenchman in history to hit the 50-unit mark in the NBA, after a certain Tony Parker (55).
So many ingredients that allow us to officially announce it; Something tells us we're going to hear more about this Wembanyama for years to come. You will have read it here first.
