NBA: Disgusted by Wembanyama, he hallucinates
Published on December 29, 2023 at 8:35 p.m.
Led by a prodigious Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs ended a series of five consecutive losses in the NBA, after their convincing victory on the floor of the Portland Trail Blazers on the night of Thursday to Friday (118-105 ). At the end of the meeting, Blazers coach Chauncey Billups was full of praise for the Frenchman.
And if there was finally the reference match for San Antonio Spurs this season ? Last in the Western Conference and beaten in their last five matches, Victor Wembanyama’s partners have achieved a success as valuable as it is convincing on the floor of the Portland Trail Blazers during the night from Thursday to Friday (118-105). One of the only Texans providing some satisfaction since the start of the year, Victor Wembanyama (30 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 7 blocks) fired on all cylinders, sickening without respite Scoot Henderson and his gang.
“This kid is there every time”
After the match, the coach of the Oregon franchise, Chauncey Billups, was rave about the French rookie. “It’s the first time everyone has played against him, so there’s an adjustment period. There was a timeout early in the fourth quarter where I said, “Guys, we need to understand that even though the shot looks open, it’s not.” When you put your head down and go to the basket, the shot is not open. » This kid is there every time. It’s hard to see, you know,” he said in comments reported by Parlons Basket.
“I thought his defensive presence was incredible”
The former leader of Detroit Pistons then continued: “You’re trying to do your thing, you see two guys in front of you while he disappears. So like I said, I think it took all of us too long to adjust to him but damn, that’s what’s crazy about him. You never know where he is, but you know he will be there. I thought his defensive presence was incredible. His 7 blocks, so many things he changed…”.
