The San Antonio Spurs arrived in Paris this Monday and have already returned to training. Victor Wembanyama and his team stripped their tired legs on the floor of the Palais des Sports Maurice-Thorez, which the French prodigy knows well, three days before the first of the two NBA Paris Games against the Indiana Pacers. In front of the media present for the occasion, the interior of the Blues answered a few questions, https://twitter.com/REVERSEMAGAZINE/status/1881385325664362831 on his relationship with Chris Paul.
When “CP3” was in Oklahoma City, he helped Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turn a corner and become, in part, the phenomenal player he is today. Does he have the same connection as the Canadian with the veteran leader?
“It’s true that there are similarities, but it’s very natural, very organic. We don’t try to fit into roles and it happens naturally. He has a bit of a mentor role because he has a lot of things to say and they are relevant things. I know that there is mentorship that is a little less healthy and this is not that at all, it is very natural. Yes, we can call it one. little mentor”.
-Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul were two of the players who talked the most with each other during this first training session, which looked more like a clean-up. The 1-5 axis is important in this team which would be well inspired to win its two matches against Indiana, in order to escape a spiral of three consecutive defeats and return to the race for 10th place in the West.
Victor Wembanyama, “the best in the NBA in 2-3 years”?
