There are no superlatives to describe the performance of Victor Wembanyama with Boulogne-Levallois. Week after week, he effectively trivializes excellence and, tonight against Fos-sur-Mer, “Wemby” was true to himself: 32 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and victory (96-85)!
In shooting success (12/20, including 3/7 at 3-pts, with a 5/7 on free throws), the Frenchman was very often imperial in guiding the Mets to a ninth success in a row. Scoring 10 then 12 points in the first two quarters, to point to 22 at halftime (with 5 rebounds and 2 blocks), before calming down somewhat after the break. Like all of his team.
Because the players of Vincent Collet, admittedly in the lead almost the whole game (up to +17), still had to work in the last act, to repel a valiant team from Ditch who returned to -4, six minutes from the start. end. Moment chosen by Victor Wembanyama and his family, leaders of Betclic Elite, to give a boost and definitively repel the visitors.
In terms of highlightswe will retain the 3+1 on a leg of “Wemby”, from the start of the match, his sequence against then dunk, always in the first quarter, or his little dribbling session, followed by a stepback baseline, before returning to the locker room.
On the stats side, note that Victor Wembanyama became the third player aged 18 (or less) to reach the 500 point mark in the French championship, after Antoine Rigaudeau (1987-90) and Tony Parker (1999-2001). Total he reached in just 44 games, against 51 for Rigaudeau and 52 for Parker. Remember that the announced number 1 of the Draft 2023 will celebrate its 19th birthday in a month…
