This Friday, after a small thriller between Choletais and Levalloisiens, the Mets 92 won 92 to 87 in Marcel-Cerdan. Despite the success, Victor Wembanyama has not given his fans a premature gift by delivering – against the grain of the table-top challenge – minimal serve. Relationship.
We really want to criticize the performance of an 18-year-old who was super cool at the end of the game, who in any case lost 24 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and collected a more less of +15 for 22 rating? On paper, it’s impossible to scratch anything. But the game highlighted several gaps that the Mets 92 prodigy has to work on. Excellently defended by Kim Tillie et Justin Patton in the first half Victor strayed too far from the rim, like Kristaps Porzingis after his first career injuries. The impact of him then instantly diminished. No more simplistic curled arms, big galleys to be received under the hoop, a largely losing lower-body duel against Cholet’s inmates—hell of a tabletop jolt. Yet, it was this same outside play that saved Victor late in the game, with three life-saving bombs from an enhanced Levallois team. But, unless his talent proves us wrong and he can get away with hitting distance every time, it might have been better if he had taken care of shot selection. More than ever, « it was a bad blow ». We know that bad luck can come (and it’s not necessarily a fluke). “bad shot” when you measure 2m21), but Victor must be able to do better against an internal sector weakened by a European match of the week.

On defense? Victor Wembanyama remains Victor Wembanyama, that is to say a lamppost who – regardless of his offensive form – continues to discourage with his mere presence in the key. A half shape that was enough, plus a huge one Tremont waters, to exclude Cholet. The two teams are no longer behind each other, Levallois secures 2nd place while Laurent Vila’s group slips to the bottom of the podium. Next meeting on Monday in Strasbourg for the Vic. Recommended rest before losing weight on Boxing Day, with big hits of – hopefully – 34 points and 16 rebounds. We like it when it looks like this. With some assist dice if possible. He begins to lift the Victor’s head very well. Don’t forget to point this out. It’s important.
