Third match only for Victor Wembanyama with the French A team and, you won’t believe it, third card. And the simple fact of telling ourselves that we are going to take it for fifteen years is enough to make us happy.
20 points and 9 rebounds in Lithuania.
19 points against Bosnia.
The first two outings of the teenager with the Blues, in November, had already been full of promise, without surprise. This evening ? We’ve gone one step further, and let’s just say that now any game of Vic in blue that doesn’t end with an indecent stat line could almost… disappoint us. That is to say the level of hope that the player from Boulogne-Levallois offers us, that is to say the originality of his profile. Tonight anyway, and even if it started rather badly (recap of the match right here), Wemby did Wemby, namely dominating on both sides of the field. Obviously perfect, no joke, sometimes fly hunter instead of chasing balls in defense, but then, overall… what ease. How easy.
22 points at 8/19 in shooting including 4/7 from the parking lot and 2/3 in throws, 17 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 steals and 6 blocks in 29 minutes
On pick and roll he enjoyed himself, especially with the Saint Francisco in support, when he rises to 3-point he would have to be 4 meters to hinder him, and under the basket his size coupled with his grinta even allow him to score in incongruous positions, the mark of the greatest, too. Anyway, send me those bloody highlights, intravenously please.

And you, what did/did you do with your Thursday evenings when you were 19? Student parties? Revisions? TV? Victor Wembanyama, he dirties darons all over Europe, sacred concept.
