Victor Wembanyama solid against ASVEL, the Mets lead 1-0

After game 3 of the quarter-finals, mastered for Wemby and the Mets against Cholet, here comes the time for the semi-finals with as an opponent for the Vic… ASVEL, former club of the future star of the Spurs. A major challenge against the three-time defending champion and for this first match, Vincent Collet’s team was able to respond against the Lyon club, with style.

A first match for Marcel Cerdan before joining the already full Accor Arena on Tuesday, all with players determined to take this already decisive Game 1. On one side, a very warm Wemby with very flashy pink shoes and on the other Youssoupha Fall, Lyon pivot of 2m21 ready to give his all in attack and defense to annihilate the power of Victor Wembanyama. The future Draft number one still has to adjust to having an opponent literally his size, but the two have been struggling along the way. The ex-Grizzly Yves Pons is also there to hinder Wemby, and the mission is rather successful for the Villeurbannais interiors, at least at the start of the meeting. But very quickly the power of Wembanyama made the difference. Finally ? 19 points at 8/18 shooting, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, a victory with six units difference for the Metsand it is therefore 1-0 for Boulogne-Levallois in this first semi-final of the Betclic Elite Playoffs.

To see this Playoffs match marked by the collective performance of the Mets, there were beautiful people in the stands, with Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, former teammates at the Bulls who came to see the next generation of French basketball in action. We imagine that the two chatted in French during the meeting since Evan Fournier must have had all the time he wanted to teach french to D-Rose on the Knicks bench. Tony Parker was also present in the stands of Marcel Cerdan, but his team lost against the guy who will take his place as a French icon in San Antonio.
