Watching Victor Wembanyama’s compilation of the night’s actions is very often a scientifically validated way to best attack your day. This is particularly the case this Friday morning in the 2’56” clip that the NBA was quick to post on social networks, with this alien emoticon that it reserves for our French giant.

It’s simple, after his legendary 50-unit performance against Washington on November 13, the Blues pivot signed his second biggest offensive card of the season on Thursday evening, with 42 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks on counter in 37 minutes of play. All with a staggering 7/15 from three points (13/24 on shots in total), and above all a precious victory in overtime for the San Antonio Spurs against the Atlanta Hawks (133-126).
He makes Capela dance before giving him a “T-Mac”
On the menu for this recital, we find the entire range of the rookie of the year 2024, well beyond his seven missiles from the parking lot, including one registered with a bonus fault. Against a Zaccharie Risacher, author of an average match (9 points at 4/13 and 4 rebounds in 22 minutes), “Wemby” notably offered a wonderful support work near the circle to make Clint Capela dance and conclude with a bonus throw (55-66, 24th).
After the break, the 20-year-old and 2.24-year-old phenomenon enjoyed even more, between an alley-oop pass for the spectacular rookie Stephon Castle on the counter-attack, a monstrous counter against the board in overtime against Jalen Johnson, and even more an anthology dunk in the fourth quarter. At the start of the “money-time”, at 99-101, Victor Wembanyama found himself well held by Clint Capela at the free-throw line.

How to get out of it when he had just stopped dribbling? Zero worries for him, he slaps us with “a Tracy McGrady” by throwing the ball for himself against the board, before flying away to conclude on the head of… his teammate Julian Champagnie, who had not understood the project from the Gogo gadget to Parisian arms. Now 11th (with 14 wins and 13 losses) in the jungle that constitutes this Western Conference, the Spurs are clinging to the fight for the play-in and they will try to continue on Saturday evening against Portland. Yum, we conclude that our wake-up call on Sunday morning will be of quality.
