Opposed in Strasbourg at the Palais des Sports Marcel Cerdan, the Boulogne-Levallois Mets were able to count on a gala Victor Wembanyama to bend the Alsatian formation. 29 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists… and confidence regained after a short spell of less good for the young nugget of French basketball.
A home game to draw the curtain on a frankly sunny day. A rather cool outdoor context. A necessary victory to keep a comfortable lead over Cholet and Dijon. Sportingly, it is therefore a context which is also interesting. And it is in this context that Wemby will take his place and do considerable damage in the defense of Strasbourg. A proof ? At the break, Vic’ already compiled twenty points!
From afar, from near: he watered almost everywhere. A versatility that undoubtedly once again made the Ricans salivate who watched the match on the League Pass. What do we note in particular? His very quick decision-making, which often allowed him to get baskets with a fault as a bonus. First in difficulty, the Mets will play for him, and will maintain the score thanks to his precious points. Little thought to Bodian Massa who tasted quite a bit when he found himself defending against his great teammate in the France team.

The rest will take place near Cholet on April 25. A duel with a direct competitor, and two big weeks of rest in the meantime. The opportunity for Victor Wembanyama to work physically but also to rest, while the NBA Draft is slowly approaching and he will have to be on top to get this first choice that the whole basketball planet has been promising him for a long time.
