The phenomenon is underway. Having missed the first match of his second NBA season a little, clumsy especially in Dallas on Thursday (120-109 defeat), Victor Wembanyama put the clocks are on time against Houston two days later. Determining, he launched the San Antonio Spurs to their first success (109-106).
A 3 points in front of the other French star of Spurs!
“The Alien”, the nickname of the young French star (20 years old), scored 29 points (at 10/17 shooting), in 30 minutes and with a few actions of which he has the secret. We will particularly remember this superb three-point shot in the last second of the third quarter under the eyes of Tony Parker, present in the Texan room.
This strong performance augurs well for an undoubtedly incredible season. which will perhaps earn “Wemby” an All-Star in February, in San Francisco…
While the 2024-2025 regular season has just started, three franchises are off to a great start with three victories in as many games: the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics, reigning NBA champions, in the East; LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers in the west, who had not had such a good start since the 2010-2011 season.
At that time, it was the iconic duo Kobe Bryant – Pau Gasol, coached by Phil Jackson, who led the Californian franchise, double reigning champion (2009, 2010) towards an attempt at a “three peat” (treble), finally stopped by the Dallas Mavericks, future champions.
