the essentials The San Antonio Spurs lost (again) this Saturday, March 23 in the North American basketball league. But the young and talented Frenchman (again) produced a top-notch performance. And put on a show.
A Wembanyama of great evenings. Despite the short, but new defeat of the Spurs on Saturday March 23, beaten by the Memphis Grizzlies 99 to 97 because of a basket from Jaren Jackson Jr with one second remaining, Victor Wembanyama once again delighted the San Antonio public.
The phenomenal French interior, more favorite than ever in the race for the title of Rookie (best beginner) of the year in the NBA, scored 31 points, took 16 rebounds, delivered five assists, made two interceptions and three blocks.

But it was one action in particular that unnerved basketball and NBA fans this Saturday morning, occurring at the very end of the 3rd quarter while the Spurs were trailing 68-66. The native of Chesnay (Yvelines) first performs, from the height of his 2.24m, a counter (defensive gesture) on the American GG Jackson.
Then without delay – and with the apparently nonchalant style that characterizes him – he launches a counterattack by passing the ball to a teammate, while himself following the offensive movement forward. Thus, he was found under the opponent’s basket by his playmate. The Frenchman then put on the show until the end, planting an angry dunk on an alley-oop (recovered on the fly from his teammate’s pass).
