It was just a preseason game against the Guangdong Southern Tigers (Long-Lions Sports), that said did not stop Victor and his family from taking the game seriously. The result speaks for itself, the Chinese team is tilting 119-88 against the Sprurs with an impressive Wemby who compiled 9 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks in just 16 minutes of play. A XXL performance accompanied by a well-oiled collective that has been able to take its marks especially for the ex Celtic Luke Kornet who scored 16 points (100% FG) in 13 minutes of play.
The metronome of the Spurs
Wemby didn't have to force. For his return to the parquet, the Frenchman scored a total of 9 points without missing a single shoot with a three points scored. But that's not all, Victor flirted with a triple double by catching 10 rebounds, distributing 7 passes and he added to that 3 spectacular counters. A fair and controlled match that once again shows the monstrous potential of the player especially on his game vision.
The 7 assists, for a player of his size, is a clear message: this season he will not only be the defensive leader. He wants to be the conductor of a team he wants to lead in playoffs.
The collective in a good Tempo
Around him, the Spurs played a fluid game (31 decisive passes) but sometimes risky (23 loss of bullets including 6 by Wemby). Rookie Carter Bryant released a super game out of the bench with 15 points scored in 23 minutes and was backed by some interesting individual performances by Julian Champagnie (16 points), Keldon Johnson (16 points) and Luke Kornet (16 points).
The collective already seems to be for the Texans despite the absences of De Nothing dazzling, but an impression of cohesion already well advanced for the beginning of the season.
A Wemby more complete than ever
This summer, Wembanyama didn't work, it was his teammate Julian Champagnie who said: » « I don't think I've ever seen anyone train like that, it was crazy... ». He also said himself (with a bit of humor) that he had the opportunity to be coached by legends of the orange ball: » I trained with Hakeem Olajuwon, Kevin Garnett, Matt Bonner, the Grand Ra »
« Nobody trained like me this summer »
Victor Wembanyama was physically strengthened this summer. He said he took muscle mass.
