It is a successful operation at all levels for Boulogne-Levallois. After beating Asvel in Game 1 of its semi-final in its usual room, Victor Wembanyama’s troupe relocated to Bercy for Game 2.
The opportunity to evolve in front of more than 15,000 boiling fans at the Accor Arena, the tickets for the meeting having left in a few hours when they went on sale.
More importantly, the Mets 92 doubled the lead by winning Game 2 of the series (86-83) to lead 2-0 and find themselves with a victory of the final, while the series will now continue in Villeurbanne.
Victor Wembanyama (13 points at 5/12 shooting, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 stray bullets) rather well contained, it was Barry Brown Jr. who played the saviors for Boulogne-Levallois. Because if Vincent Collet’s troops had started strong again to race in the lead throughout the match, Asvel, still deprived of Nando De Colo, this time almost succeeded in their comeback, Dee Bost managing to equalize 13 seconds from the end.
There was therefore one possession left to play for the Mets 92 and it was Barry Brown Jr. who had the ball to register the 3-pointer which kills in isolation, the troop of TJ Parker having no more time-outs and no more enough time to afford a good shot in stride.
