Victor Wembanyama’s Potential Farewell at Roland-Garros: Mets 92 vs Monaco in LNB Finals

Main event this evening in the West of Paris. In the program ? Rhinestones, sequins and battle in the racket on the Philippe-Chatrier court at Roland-Garros. Andrey Rublev – Corentin Moutet? No, Mets 92 – Monaco.

15,000 spectators. A legendary court, the Philippe-Chatrier, for Victor Wembanyama’s potential farewell to French basketball.

Yes, we pull to the extreme. Of “potential goodbyes” sound more effective than a simple goodbye. But that the greatest French prospect of all time, first pick announced in all screenings related to the 2023 NBA Draft, shows up on one of the most legendary tennis courts for Game 3 of the LNB Finals against Monaco – the great Monaco – is now or never to drown the texts in superlatives. The stakes are immense. The Mets are down 2-0 and back to the ditch, ready to start an infinite fall there at the slightest overperformance from Mike James. There was no match during Game 1 in Monaco (97-64), it was very ric-rac on the second set (95-88). Tonight, in front of a likely very wide panel of personalities who have nothing to do with each other, Victor Wembanyama must instil a desire for revolt in his teammates. This will go through an XXL performance under the pressure of a large and concerned audience. The match is broadcast on BeIN Sports at 8:30 p.m., the numbers will climb high – very high – and probably hit the peak of viewers for this 2022-23 season. Bilal Coulibaly, announced among the lottery choices for the 2023 NBA Draft, would be well advised to lay a performance aligned with his standards of beautiful evenings.

What guests ? LeBron James was in Sarthe last week to give the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it’s not impossible that he improvised a week’s vacation in France in order to “drink” his best wine there. Big bet also, the agenda of the President of the Republic is unknown on this day: the opportunity to go to Roland to publicly shake hands with Victor Wembanyama before his departure across the Atlantic? Never underestimate the communication slab of a politician. We especially hope for the big NBA player, and an atmosphere to lather the glasses of champagne in the stands. 15,000 spectators, if the players hear each other talking on the floor, it’s professional misconduct.
