After disposing of Cholet yesterday, Victor Wembanyama’s Mets 92 will cross paths with ASVEL in the semi-finals of the French championship. A symbolic opposition for Wemby, because it is his former club. Tony Parker’s remarks at the match scheduled at the Accor Arena in Bercy, it promises to be… boiling!
What better story for Victor Wembanyama than leaving the French championship after eliminating his former club in the semi-finals? We remember his somewhat hectic departure from Lyon last season, when the Rhodanian club had planned a tailor-made system to prepare him for the 2023 Draft in the best conditions. At the time, Tony Parker had it bad… and he still continues to harbor regrets today, tinged with a tinge of frustration.
“I respect his choice, but I will always have the small regret that he didn’t stay with us, because I’m sure we could have clinched a EuroLeague top 8 and started dreaming with him. I don’t know if he’s really improved this season and if he’s really having fun playing only one game a week. The EuroLeague would have prepared him well for next season, like Luka Doncic, who won it with Real Madrid. That’s what I would have liked Victor to do”. – Tony Parker, for Progress
However, we will not complain about Victor’s decision, which sent him to shine in the United States and above all drove the championship for an entire season. The icing on the cake? Game 2 of the series (best of five games) will take place at Bercy, as announced by the Boulogne-Levallois club. More than 10,000 excited fans will be on hand to witness – we hope – another fantastic performance from the Alien. Can they triumph over ASVEL? The stage will be more complicated than that of Cholet, but pushed by a public completely committed to his cause, Victor has the means to strike the spirits. Come on, take off on Sunday at 3:15 p.m., near Marcel Cerdan!
