The Spurs arrived in France before a first match this Thursday against the Pacers. Beyond the happiness of returning to his country, Victor Wembanyama knows that victory remains the most important thing. And he’s ready.
We found a Victor Wembanyama big smile this Monday when landing in France. He has already been able to rub shoulders with the media and meet fans during this special week in his country. Quite a few activities on the menu for the Texans and Victor, including the match between PSG and Manchester City this Wednesday evening.
For match days, however, like Thursday, Wemby warns: it will be the usual routine. Because now that Spurs have a negative record, the priority remains to win (via RMC).
Victor Wembanyama : “I will try to keep my pre-match routine. I don’t have anything planned on the day of the matches, I will do as usual. You have to put yourself in the situation. »
Victor Wembanyama honest on Spurs situation
After all, and with their record of 19 victories for 22 defeats, San Antonio does not arrive in France in the best conditions. Mitch Johnson’s men have a series of defeats and need to reassure themselves with two confrontations against the Pacers. Otherwise, the playoffs could become dangerously distant.

The legend Scottie Pippen goes straight on Victor Wembanyama: “The crazy thing is…
Among the supporters, we are therefore awaiting the awakening of Wembanyama, who was highly scrutinized during the week. With his audience and significant support, the Frenchman will be expected to lead his team to victory. But don’t count on him to do too much: he plans to let the game come to him as usual.
Of the flesh : “We can expect a team that is trying to end a losing streak. Some attention to detail can be expected. This is the priority. I learned growing up that to have great matches, you don’t have to go in with that state of mind. We have to focus on the fundamentals, on the basics. The flow will come by itself. »
However, the Spurs do not really have the right to make mistakes during these two upcoming meetings. In the event of defeats, perhaps the front office will decide to make at least one trade before the deadline although this is unlikely. What is certain is that this week is important for Spurs and Wembanyama.
Victor Wembanyama is happy with his return to France, even if he has serious issues with Spurs when we see their record. Let’s hope that the return home allows him to carry his team to victory.
