Last night, due to health and safety protocols, TrashTalk was unable to go to the Palais des sports Marcel-Cerdan to attend the match between Victor Wembanyama’s Metropolitans 92 and JSF Nanterre. Catch-up session therefore, at a time when the countryside is whitening.
The Victor Wembanyama hype? It inflates us. This is what we would have said if we were in our fifties, a mosaic cendar bought in Pornichet in 83, and that Jim Bilba was, in our opinion, the greatest dunker that the French championship had ever seen. “We called it Air Bilba the thing. It’s not like your new players there, only badly brought up Americans… Come on, I’m going to tobacco, I’ll bring you something? ». This paper is not intended to change narrow mentalities. It is only there to bring a little factual to your Monday, factual which you will decide for yourself the place it will occupy in your head. If the media sphere does not take hold of the Wembanyama phenomenon, is that she misunderstands the hierarchy of level and precocity between the different prospects in the history of French basketball. If you think that we hear too much regarding Wembanyama, it’s because you have to open the windows to air out this room which smells like the YoMax room, or go out into the forest and re-taste the joy that the outside brought. Feels good now and then a bit of fresh air on the back of your neck.

In this “pre-draft” season, the young Frenchman is in a pivotal year under very high pressure to which he is responding for the moment in the most perfect way. Last night, for the reception of JSF Nanterre – his former club – Totor ( once more) released a large score sheet: 30 points at 10/19 shooting including 1/5 at 3-points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 lost balls, 3 faults for 6 provoked, 30 of evaluation and… the victory! Another lunar sequence where Victor goes to the lay-up with a last dribble from the 3-point line. Another jump to the top of the table for the Mets 92, first in Betclic Elite. Another furious ride from Wemby in the individual rankings with the status of 1st scorer in the championship (22.4 points per game), 2nd rebounder (8.9), 1st in evaluation (25.5) and 1st in blocks ( 3.1).
This dominance over 18 ans, it is of course unheard of in the French championship. But as the never-seen balanced like that in writing is not enough to make people understand that it’s really never-seen, small video of the sequence described a little above, with an audience of Marcel-Cerdan even more astonished . Going to be funny the return to reality next year when it will be Boris Dallo or Mathieu Wojciechowski on post 4: “But why doesn’t he shoot a 3-pointer? ».

For a video summary made in BeIN Sports a little more consequent, it is by ICI.
Curtain draw on this new basketball evening by Victor Wembanyama. The victory, the statistics, the play niceteammate Hugo Besson at 8 points at 3/6 in shooting and 3 assists, Tremont Waters in perfect lieutenant with 21 units… Levallois is doing well.
