Day of immense challenge for Victor Wembanyama. Tonight, at 8:30 p.m. and broadcast on BeIN Sports, the Mets 92 travel to Monaco to challenge Mike James’ Roca Team in the first match of the LNB Finals. It’s narrow, but there’s a real exploit window to grab.
Schedule matches all year round at 5/6pm, to finally return to the more common schedule of 8.30pm… the evening when the Champions League football final is played. Bring us the guy responsible for this decision, let us give him Pierre Brochant’s contact. Beyond this gap – not unlike the best years of amateurism suffered by our French basketball – the stake, like the paper, will manage to make some minds hesitate with Manchester City – Inter Milan. Monaco’s prize list? Two second division titles, a EuroCup (while Paris Basket offers great Ecocups), and a third division title. You understand, the Rock Team joue his first title of champion of France – the three previous editions having been won by ASVEL. And Sasa Obradovic’s group is not in a position tooutsider : 2 to 0 once morest Strasbourg in the quarter-finals, 3 to 0 once morest Bourg en Bresse in the semi-finals, a 3rd place in the Final Four of the Euroleague once morest Barça by Nikola Mirotic… The Mets 92 do not have a quarter of the experience experienced/gathered by the Monegasques this season. This is also where the charm of this poster lies. There’s a real feat to look for. The first of Victor Wembanyama’s career.
They almost flinched, but finally secured in the third round once morest Cholet Basket in the quarter-finals: the Mets 92 do not claim a course as serene as that of the opponent of the day. However, the 3 to 1 semi once morest ASVEL came to fill the gauge of confidence well beyond the green bar. Vincent Collet and his men know they are capable ofupset. Bilal Coulibaly remains on 16 points at 7/12 in shooting, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in 36 minutes of play in game 4 in Villeurbanne. Without hope of catching up with him, the French fullback is tirelessly approaching Victor Wembanyama in the mock drafts (possible selection in the Top 13). This same Victor a little less prominent in these 2023 Playoffs: “only” two games out of seven beyond 20 points, the opposing coaches are studying – and targeting – more Boulogne-Levallois’ offensive weapon n ° 1. By way of comparison, six of his last seven regular season games have crossed the 20-point mark. But the Mets are doing well there, since they present themselves today on the very last step of Betclic Elite. For them too, the situation is exceptional, with the opportunity to win a first French championship title since… 1997. At the time, the club was still called « PSG Racing ». Victor Wembanyama will only open his eyes seven years later.
