This Sunday, the Mets 92 received Mike James’ Roca Team. Second defeat for Victor Wembanyama and his friends in a week (-25 once morest Roanne last Tuesday), but another turlututesque performance from the Levallois attraction. So much ease once morest the EuroLeague dolphin, it becomes almost tiresome.
How will we explain to our children that an 18-year-old kid got 32 ratings (the best of the game) once morest the 2nd EuroLeague team? This Sunday, in a Marcel-Cerdan sports hall which has put on its party clothes – by far the noisiest of this first part of the season – Victor Wembanyama has once once more displayed his precocity: 27 points at 11/20 shooting including 0/5 from the parking lot (damn), 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 interceptions, 2 lost balls and 2 fouls for 5 caused. Only downside, the Mets 92 lost 13 points following an extension dominated head and shoulders by the Roca Team (6 to 19). On a personal level, Victor is the only top scorer in Betclic Elite with 23.6 points per game, 1st rebounder with 9.4 shots, 1st in evaluation with 26.9 on average and 1st once morest with 2.8 slaps per game night. Collectively, the Metropolitans let the leader’s seat slip away in favor of… Monaco. The duel of the evening was extremely important: to approach it, Victor would undoubtedly have preferred a second unit better quality. The Levallois bench only scored 10 points in 56 minutes of play, DeVante Jones and Anzejs Pasecniks both finished with a plus/minus of -21, when opposite Matthew Strazel, Yoan Makoundou, Donta Hall and Donatas Motiejunas accumulated 49 points at 50% shooting. Real depth of staff that.
???????? Another very big match for Victor Wembanyama once morest Monaco!

It was announced that the Roca Team had been wiped out by last Thursday’s thriller once morest Real Madrid (success 94 to 95 following extra time), but nothing came of it. The Mets 92 are still a hair off the mark. Not the same aura, not the same bench, not the same faces, and a youth that has neither Mike James nor Elie Okobo to teach him how to draw the curtain on a meeting. We can regret the half-hearted copy made by Tremont Waters (21 points at 6/15 in shooting and… 8 lost balls), just like congratulating Hugo Besson’s company in a match which was not really his to lead (16 points at 5/12 shooting). But then, no one knew/was able to stop the Elie Okobesque tornado – especially not Besson – who finished his game at 28 points at 5/7 from the parking lot. The hitman par excellence that is missing from Vincent Collet’s workforce. And despite everything, despite his 18 years of age and his lack of experience on the European scene, Victor Wembanyama almost shut the beak of the tax-exempted. Too bad he was snubbed in the late game with too few attacks organized around his large size.

Second time that Benoît Magimel from the other side of the Atlantic shows up at Marcel-Cerdan. Not remembering seeing it when Jason Rich and Maleye N’Doye were the main attractions at 92. Opportunist goes.
