NBA Another record for Victor Wembanyama in the victory of the Spurs

French was instrumental in San Antonio’s victory against one of the leaders of the Western Conference.

An atypical result occurred on Thursday night in the NBA. San Antonio Spurs, last in the Western conference, and have very little project to improve in the short term. The rivalry had great consistency for a good part of 48 minutes, but the closing had only one opponent: Victor Wembanyama. The Frenchman, who was selected first in the last draft, showed that he takes the responsibility for his team seriously, and functioned as a veteran, directing the final offensives. With blocks on one side, running the court and scoring with the calmness of a perimeter player, he led his team in an unexpected celebration, making it clear that he did not want to be just a passing fad.

We mentioned that the Spurs are late, and they have been doing it for a certain distance, so no one expects that a franchise with a weak 11-48 can do much against one of the leaders, like Oklahoma. With 41 victories under their belt, they are the candidates to take the lead. But it was the Frenchman Victor Wembanyama who managed to destroy the visiting party, but also to add another series of numbers in a short career that already looks historic.

The intern (that rare species of intern who does everything, and everything well) became the first player in NBA history to have at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 5 triples in a game . As if that wasn’t enough, he was also the first to average at least two steals, three blocks and two triples per game in a month. Its average performance has grown significantly. This past month, he has had three games with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks, something that hasn’t happened in the NBA since 1993, when none other than Hakeem Olajuwon did it.

Specialists assured that Victor has everything to become the leader of the NBA in the coming seasons. Obviously it depends on his physique not betraying him; something we have already seen in several other figures. He has already proven that he has the talent and ability to reach this level, and in his first year he is performing as an experienced player. In games like this it’s also clear that his mentality is as strong as any veteran’s. Responsibility for closure is not something many rookies can put on their CV. But, above all, he is hungry to continue to improve and increase his numbers, to remain in history; Only time will tell if this is short-lived or long-lasting in the memories of NBA fans. The obligation now falls in the hands of the franchise, to surround the Frenchman with some figures who can accompany him on the road.
